Merging contemporary tropical design with easy island life, the four-bedroomed Penthouses at Malaiwana are vibrant, unforgettable holiday escapes. Set high in this exclusive estate on Phuket’s northwest coast, with panoramic sea and sunset views over Naithon Beach, these luxury apartments offer families or groups of friends a tranquil getaway and impeccable hospitality.
Designed for optimal views, the Penthouses’ living areas and bedrooms are spread generously across the top floor of a three-floor unit, with inviting 20-metre private pools enhancing the vivid blue sea and sky vistas. Spectacular Andaman Sea sunsets can be enjoyed from nearly every room, including the poolside master suites. Making the most of Phuket’s glorious tropical climate, sliding glass doors across the entire front of the Penthouses allow for a seamless flow between the stylish indoor and outdoor living areas.
The serene beauty of Naithon Beach, a one-kilometre stretch of powder-soft sand, is just a short walk or buggy ride down the hill. Relax on the sand, snorkel or standup paddle in the crystal clear water, or sample some fresh grilled seafood from one of the seaside vendors. Phuket Airport is just nine kilometres away and many Phuket highlights, including golf, spas, beach clubs and yacht charters are within easy reach.
At your service is a welcoming team of full-time staff including a chef, highly skilled in Thai cuisine, and a manager, who will ensure your every need is catered to within the villa and beyond.
For larger groups and those seeking an inspiring wedding and event location, the Malaiwana estate offers an exceptional choice of accommodation. In addition to the Penthouse apartments, rental options include 4-bedroomed Duplexes and the luxurious 6-bedroomed Villa Haleana – all with private pools and stunning sea views.
