Villa Amanzi

Kata Noi Beach, Phuket, Thailand.
12 people / 6 ensuite bedrooms
Villa Amanzi is a lavish hillside haven with fabulous views over Kata Noi Beach. Six ensuite bedrooms, friendly staff and plush indoor and outdoor living areas make it an ideal holiday escape for families or groups.

Amanzi is the Zulu word for water, an element whose restorative properties prevail within and around the villa: cool down in the 15-metre infinity-edge pool, enjoy a soothing massage to the sound of ocean waves or take a refreshing soak in the bathtub of the two master suites. The cool tranquillity is further enhanced by the trickling stone waterfall feature and koi-pond garden to the rear of the villa's living and dining room.

A holiday at Villa Amanzi could be spent in complete peace simply lounging on the comfortably furnished terrace, indulging in some in-villa spa treatments, or taking a morning stroll along the soft sands of Kata Noi Beach, a mere 10-minute walk away. The villa's top-notch entertainment system, modern kitchen, barbecue sala and glorious setting make it a charming venue for a getaway with friends too. Sports enthusiasts can play table tennis or pool within the villa, visit the estate clubhouse for its tennis court and fitness centre, or book a round at one of Phuket's top golf courses.

Villa Amanzi allows convenience to seniors and those who are mobility challenged, with a lift connecting the two main floors. Flexible bed configurations, and a good selection of kids' equipment make it a hit with large families. The ultra-private downstairs bedroom suite is attached to a TV lounge room with a rollaway sofa bed, while a cosy room on the top floor could serve as a multi-purpose room for massages or as a playroom for kids.

Among Villa Amanzi's staff is a charming and knowledgeable English-speaking manager, a housekeeping and service team, and 24-hour estate security. Meals chosen from a menu of mainly Thai dishes are prepared by your private chef, while more dining and leisure choices are just a short distance away at Kata Noi and Kata beaches.

DINING

Indulge your tastebuds with gourmet food crafted by your own personal chef. Dine in the privacy of your villa, with majestic views to gaze at. And if you want to try your hand at cooking in the fully equipped kitchen, our housekeepers will be delighted to assist you.

The villa offers a wine list, and the Villa Manager will be happy to take guests along to a local wine shop should you prefer to browse through the options yourself.

The chef takes care of the shopping and provisions are charged at market price plus a 20% handling fee.

The villa manager can recommend therapists for a range of treatments to be enjoyed by the pool in the open spa room or in the air conditioned comfort of your bedroom on a spa bed.
