The Experience
Just a short walk away from the inviting sands of Surin Beach along Phuket’s glittering west coast, Villa Napalai is an ideal escape for fun-loving families and groups. With four bedrooms spread over four levels on the hillside, the villa offers spectacular sea and sunset views, especially from its chic white terrace with an 8.5m infinity pool and lounging sala (gazebo). Though the tropical delights of the beach-club-lined Surin are close at hand, Napalai’s own extensive entertainment choices are enough to keep active guests entertained throughout their stay. Napalai’s well-equipped gym, children’s playroom, spa room and games room with a pool table and sparkling stainless-steel bar take up the entire ground floor, which opens out to a side garden and barbecue dining deck. A stylish living space sits next to the indoor dining room and kitchen in a bright open-plan area that leads to the pool terrace.
The modern kitchen is where guests will catch the aromas of the richly-flavoured Thai dishes as they’re being prepared by the full-time chef. Meals are charged to guest account at grocery cost (plus a small service fee). Napalai guests are also cared for by full-time housekeeping staff and a villa manager, who will assist with all aspects of your stay as well as transport and other travel arrangements.
Napalai’s master bedroom offers superb ocean views from its private balcony as well as from the jacuzzi bathtub set in an elaborate ensuite bathroom. Ensuite bathrooms and sea-view balconies are also found in the two guest bedrooms, while the fourth bedroom is a cheerful retreat suitable for children with twin beds and a private bathroom. An office sits on the same level as the guest bedrooms.
Found directly across the road from Surin Beach in the Surin Heights private estate, Villa Napalai is in a prime position for exploring the best of Phuket’s tropical island life. Offering more than just a soft stretch of sand for sunbathers, Surin also boasts some of the island’s most celebrated dining spots, beach clubs, boutiques and spas. More water sports, golf and family-friendly activities may be found at Bang Tao and Kamala beaches nearby.

A vibrant, fun-filled tropical haven within easy reach of Surin Beach.
At the time of our visit (June 2013), Villa Napalai was new to the rental market and as such the service was a tad spasmodic at times. The staff seemed more preoccupied about getting logistics right than anticipating their guests’ needs. However, since we were among the first guests to visit we expect these issues to be ironed out as the team gains more experience under the guidance of the professional management company that operates the villa.
The villas within the estate are quite close together, and the terrace of the villa next door comes into partial view from Napalai’s pool terrace. However, since Napalai is at the end of the road, it benefits from having only one nextdoor neighbour and an unobstructed view towards the hills to the north.

Highlights
The sea and sunset views are spectacular, and we loved Napalai’s clean white modern look. As well, the facilities have been well thought out to appeal to all ages, from its relaxing spa room to the playroom for kids. On another visit we’d definitely arrange to bring in a professional spa therapist for a full treatment.
Surprises
The jacuzzi in the master suite makes a vacuum-like noise when the whirlpool jets are switched on, somewhat disturbing the otherwise relaxing experience of a sea-view soak. Those with young children will need to keep a vigilant watch around the pool, which is deep and lacks a safety fence (although one could be hired with prior notice). From the villa’s outdoor areas, some noise from the coastal road below the estate can be heard but it’s not overly intrusive.
PROs
- Soothing sea-view swimming pool
- Kids' playroom and decadent spa
- Vivid sea and sunset views
- Fully staffed with Thai chef
- Steps away from Surin Beach
CONs
- Stairs to navigate over four levels
- No safety fence for the pool

Location
Villa Napalai is set on a hillside in the Surin Heights private estate, directly across the road from the south entrance to Surin Beach. Surin’s soft sands are lined with some of Phuket’s best restaurants, bars and beach clubs, while a bit further beyond is the The Plaza Surin boutique shopping centre and a choice of restaurants and shops from simple noodle stands to upscale wine bars. Laem Singh Beach, a pretty white-sand cove that’s hidden away at the bottom of a jungly hill, is found within a 10-minute walk south along the coastal road towards Kamala Beach. For more dining choices, family activities, golf and water sports, the nearby Bang Tao and Kamala beaches are easily reached by car.

About Surin
Surin has a picturesque coastal village feel that exudes an air of luxury. Wedged between Kamala and Bang Tao, Surin also boasts one of the loveliest beaches in Phuket lined with casuarinas and enhanced by the fact that many of the hotels are set back, making it less intense than many of the west coast beaches. Once home to some of the island’s trendiest beach clubs, Surin has been subject to a dramatic government-imposed clearout of all commercial venues and declared a ‘royal beach’ in honour of Thailand’s revered HM the King. Though seaside sunset cocktails are no longer an option directly on the beach, with its natural look restored Surin remains a popular spot for swimmers, snorkelers and surfers.
In the hills behind Surin a whole series of exotic opulent villa estates have sprung up following in the footsteps of the first of the Aman resorts born in the neighbourhood and more recently the very contemporary TwinPalms Resort famous for its Champagne brunches and innovative spa treatments. Find upmarket shopping a short stroll away from the beach including The Plaza at Surin, Paul Ropp and Island Bliss. A ten-minute drive to the south leads to Kamala, a small bay area known for its relaxed feel and slower pace of life whilst Bang Tao Beach, home to Laguna Phuket, the Laguna Phuket Golf Course and the world renowned Banyan Tree Spa, is a little further north.
Patong is a 20-minute drive south (depending on the season) and offers some of Phuket’s world famous nightlife and ‘knock off’ goods markets. The much larger shopping malls and supermarkets of Central Festival and Big C are a 30-minute drive away on the bypass road near Phuket Town. About a 30-minute drive to the north of Surin is Phuket’s international airport.
About Phuket
Phuket is internationally recognised as one of Asia's premier tropical island destinations. The island welcomes four million plus visitors per year to an exceptional international lifestyle, stunning beaches with tranquil waters, vibrant towns and spectacular scenery – all with an exquisite tropical climate and world-class cuisine.
Located approximately one hour’s flying time from Bangkok and only a short flight from Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong, the island is serviced by an international airport with direct flights to and from many major cities in Asia, Europe and Australia. The island offers an impressive portfolio of leisure and lifestyle amenities including world-class golf courses, wonderful seascapes for sailing, diving and snorkelling as well as luxurious spas, international cuisine, high-end shopping complexes, chic boutiques, vibrant bars and lively nightclubs. The infrastructure includes excellent international hospitals and health services.
Rooms
Napalai spills down the Surin hillside over four levels, with a private covered car park at the top and more parking available at the nearby estate car park. The villa’s design is lively and modern, sprinkled with charming Thai and Asian decor accents throughout, such as Buddha statues and vivid silks.
Crowning the villa, and taking up its entire top floor, is the master suite, a private and romantic escape for couples, with a king-sized four-poster bed, sea-view balcony and spacious ensuite bathroom with a double jacuzzi. Just downstairs on the villa’s main level is an open-plan space with a well-equipped Western kitchen, an elegant dining area with seating for ten and a living room with a TV entertainment unit. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open to the terrace, where there’s a sunbed-lined 8.5m pool, a built-in sofa and a small informal dining table set next to a shady peak-roofed sala.
On a mezzanine floor just below the main level sits the twin-bedded children’s room, which features a red-toned seating area and ensuite bathroom with a shower. On the next level down are two queen-bedded guest bedrooms, both offering sea views from their private balconies and ensuite bathrooms, one equipped with a bathtub. The regally-designed office is also found on this floor, furnished with black leather lounging chairs, a large desk, bookshelf and flat-screen TV – it’s large and comfortable enough to serve as an entertainment room as well as a relaxing spot to escape to for a quiet read.
The bottom floor is dedicated to fun and play for all ages, with a games room with a TV, pool table and bar at one side and a playroom with heaps of toys and a small slide for kids at the other. With a double-height ceiling and a wall of windows over two levels, the cheerful playroom opens out to a walled garden space with an outdoor dining and barbecue deck. The fully equipped modern gym with garden views (plus a smidgen of sea) offers a bright workout area, while the adjacent spa room in deep-blue tones is a soothing place to recover.
