From its enviable location nestled high in the hills on the north-west coast of Phuket, Villa Chan Paa, meaning moonlight on the cliff, gazes out at the beauty of Naithon Beach and the breathtaking green hues of the Andaman Sea. This four-bedroom luxury villa is a paradisiacal setting for groups of friends and large families, offering tranquillity as well as convenience.
On a tropical island, the emphasis is always on outdoor living and this villa is no exception with its traditional Thai-style pitched roofs for natural cooling, a timeless design, and sophisticated elegance blending together to create an idyllic getaway. A 15-metre infinity pool is the main attraction, while the grand alfresco sala is a charming spot for dining. A pleasant surprise awaits at the top of a spiral staircase, revealing a viewing terrace designed for romance.
Set over three levels, glass walls showcase blue skies and high ceilings allow the breeze to flow through the villa. The inviting, open-plan living and dining space is emphasised by bold colours, decorated with original artworks and bespoke furniture.
A fully equipped fitness and spa room is available on-site, while an elevator and child-friendly facilities make it the ideal holiday home for multi-generational families. In true Thai-style, expect to be warmly welcomed and taken care of by the staff. The Villa Manager is available from morning until night daily to assist you and a trained Thai chef to tempt with unique flavours and creative dishes.
Part of the exclusive Malaiwana Estate, the villa is close to Naithon Beach, perfect for swimming and snorkelling. The surrounding area has a sleepy village atmosphere, while the busier areas of Cherngtalay or Phuket Town are easily accessible. The Elite Concierge can help with tours, transport and reservations, should you wish to explore the exotic island of Phuket.

Location
The crystal-clear waters of the Andaman Sea and the powder-soft sands of Naithon Beach are in full view from every villa and residence at Malaiwana. Just a short walk or downhill drive away from the estate, this pristine one-kilometre-long beach on Phuket’s peaceful northwest coast is perfect for sunning, swimming, snorkelling, stand-up paddling and sandcastle building. A tranquil village atmosphere prevails in this unspoiled corner of the island and the beach road is lined with low-key shops and cafés. Along the coast, numerous hidden coves and beaches are waiting to be discovered.
Just up the road, the Trisara Resort offers fabulous dining, and plenty of trendy beachfront restaurants at Bang Tao, eight kilometres to the south.
Malaiwana is an easy 20-minute drive from Phuket International Airport.

Discover some of the best activities, attractions and places to visit within easy reach of Villa Chan Paa:
- Spend a day down at Naithon Beach. Swim and snorkel in the clear waters of the Andaman, explore the shoreline on a stand-up paddleboard, enjoy a simple yet invigorating Thai massage session right on the beach, and feast upon delicious seafood dishes under the trees at a local Thai restaurant.
- You could also hire a traditional longtail fishing boat and discover the rugged northern coastline dotted with hidden coves and sandy beaches.
- Relish fine cuisine at Trisara Resort. Indulge in a mid-morning repast with live jazz music, share a romantic sunset dinner at PRU, Phuket’s first and only Michelin-starred restaurant, or dine in a relaxed, seafront setting at Seafood at Trisara.
- Discover Phuket’s rich culture and history. The island offers a lot more than beaches and bars. Visit the Old Quarters in Phuket Town where the streets are brimming with colourful architecture, trendy coffee shops, incense-cloaked Chinese Taoist shrines, vibrant street art, and some of the best Thai restaurants on the island.
- Play a few rounds of golf. Phuket is an outstanding golf destination with eight courses offering exceptional play, spectacular lagoons and mountain landscapes whether you’re a beginner or have years of experience. Play a few rounds at Laguna Golf Club or Mission Hills nearby.
- Charter a luxury catamaran or yacht. The Andaman Sea is a tempting vision with remarkable scenery and exotic marine life. Charter a boat for the day and enjoy swimming, snorkelling or scuba diving along with gourmet cuisine. Sail past the gigantic karsts of stunning Phang Nga Bay, swim with the fish off deserted islands, and sunbathe on desert islands.
- Take surfing or kiteboarding lessons at Nai Yang Beach. Regardless of whether you are a beginner or advanced, it’s never too late to learn how to enjoy the waves. Nai Yang is a beautiful stretch of beach but only good for surfing between June and August, whilst Bang Tao Beach is great for absolute beginners to learn and develop their surfing skills.
- Discover Phuket’s lush interior. Embark on a jungle trek to the waterfalls at Khao Phra Thaeo National Park, drop in to visit the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project at the park entrance and Phuket Elephant Sanctuary where you can observe rescued elephants enjoying retired life.

Dining
Enjoy delicious Thai cuisine prepared by your very own chef at Villa Chan Paa. The villa offers a suggestion menu and the chef is happy to recommend and adapt dishes for special dietary requirements and preferences. Children’s meals can also be catered for, just talk to the Villa Manager or chef about what your tots like to eat.
Although the chef can prepare tasty international dishes, don’t miss out on the unique flavours of Thai food. As chef to prepare Goong Sarong, a traditional Phuket dish featuring deep fried prawns wrapped in vermicelli noodles, or share a whole fish with the family, pan fried and served with chilli sauce. The tropical climate makes for perfect barbecue weather so why not indulge in a poolside barbecue with a selection of flame-grilled seafood or juicy succulent meats?
Breakfast is included in the villa rate. If you wish to have lunch or dinner in the villa too, just inform the Villa Manager and they’ll make appropriate arrangements. Plan meals at least a day in advance so that there is time to shop and prep. All provisions are charged at cost plus a 20% handling fee and a government tax. It is also requested that the chef be given a ‘float’ to cover the grocery shopping.
If you would like to cook for yourself, though with an in-villa chef there really is no need to, there is a fully-fitted modern kitchen available for your use. Just give the Villa Manager a list of the ingredients that you require and they will be procured for you (charged at cost plus a modest fee to cover petrol costs).
