The Experience
Those who covet bright new things will love Villa Amanzi with its innovative, award-winning design and idyllic ocean-view setting. Throughout this six-bedroom property a sense of spaciousness pervades: a feeling of floating in the air.
Ultramodern and sleek, Villa Amanzi does not aim to blend into its surroundings as more conservative villas tend to do: this is a shiny architectural showpiece that looks literally ready for takeoff. Anchored onto the rocky hillside at one end, the villa stretches widely across its grounds, offering superb ocean views from every room of its three levels. A 15m infinity swimming pool hovers in dramatic fashion out from the main level connecting the villa with the seascape, while steps provide exclusive access to a rocky cove below.
Amanzi is ideally suited for a fun family retreat, with table tennis, pool table and a selection of other games and toys at hand. A touch-screen-controlled sound system can be piped through the villa to keep everyone entertained day and night. For those who don’t wish to escape completely, TVs in four of the bedrooms plus a large flat-screen TV in the downstairs games/media room and WiFi throughout, allow for connection to the outside world. Lighting and air-conditioning settings are all easily adjusted with remote controls and a touch-screen pad. This blend of high-tech facilities, modern lines and stunning tropical surrounds offers a unique and memorable venue for an intimate event – very much a photographer's dream setting.
Villa service is multi-layered with staff taking care of the cooking, cleaning and maintenance/gardening. These services include transport and tour bookings, plus assistance with booking restaurants, golf tee-off times and spa sessions. The villa cook whips up excellent Thai meals with ease, including delicious barbecue feasts on request.
Amanzi is found in the exclusive Cape Amarin estate on a headland south of Kamala Beach. Steps from the villa lead over the rocks and down to the sea, where there’s some decent snorkelling during the calm weather months. Two double kayaks are available for guests as well.

This is a shiny architectural showpiece that looks literally ready for takeoff.
But this was no accident, of course. Amanzi's design takes full advantage of the property's unusual natural features and does not impose – less imaginative people might have simply blasted the rock out to make way for the villa.
We enjoyed trying out all the high-tech bells and whistles such as the touch-screen control panel and were constantly surprised by all the fun little design details such as the two 'windows' on the swimming pool's bottom that formed funky blue 'skylights' to the floor below – one in the family room, the other above the balcony.
Another plus was that all the electronic controls and buttons were clearly labelled and easy to use even for techno-phobes such as ourselves. In the end, however, nature won out as we delighted in listening to the crashing waves and birdsong, and watching in awe as the sunset skies turned the infinity pool into a luminous blaze of gold, pink and red.

Highlights
All the architectural treats and the grand scales make this villa an unforgettable place: the gigantic boulders that extend into and actually form the villa's north wall; the sliding glass doors that completely disappear when opened – we were told these are the largest such doors ever made; the pool that juts out over the cliff; and for those who can't bear to be without their music for a second, even the pool has underwater speakers!
Surprises
Whilst we were expecting modern and sleek, the smaller bedrooms at Amanzi are a bit too austere for our taste. Some artwork and colourful pillows or textiles would go a long way to warm up these rooms and add more personality. Families with younger children will need to keep a close watch, since the rock walls look inviting for budding young mountaineers. And though most steep areas are protected by barriers there are a few places where little ones could find trouble. The staircases with no hand railings pose a challenge for the elderly and those with mobility problems.
PROs

Location
Villa Amanzi is located in the exclusive private villa development of Cape Amarin, found along Phuket’s most spectacular stretch of road known as the Millionaires’ Mile. Wedged at the foot of a rocky headland cliff overlooking the sea, the villa offers a both a tranquil, verdant setting and dramatic views. A walk along the road could be pleasant enough but the climb up from the villa will leave you panting (ask the staff to zip you up on one of their motorbikes, if you wish). Steps lead from the bottom-level media room giving private access to a small, rocky cove where you can snorkel or launch the kayaks, conditions permitting. This is not suitable for the little ones, though, since the water is deep and can be choppy against the rocks. On the road back towards Kamala are the well-regarded upscale restaurants, Diavolo at Paresa, Plum at Cape Sienna and Silk at Andara Resort, all within about 3km. The town of Kamala, 6km away, offers a lovely stretch of sand and a calm bay for swimming as well as some casual Thai and seafood dining spots and local shopping, while busy Patong Beach is a 7km drive.

About Kamala
A former fishing village, now home to a collection of Phuket's most luxurious properties, Kamala is a town in transition. Set along a curving, white-sand bay on Phuket's west coast, Kamala has emerged as a more low-key resort destination than the neighbouring beaches of Patong and Surin, and something of an expat enclave. Families particularly enjoy Kamala's shallow sea waters and less chaotic feel, and fishermen-turned-tour guides now offer trips to nearby beaches on their traditional long-tail boats, still seen bobbing in the bay's south end.
Local eateries and bars remain mostly casual watering holes – chilled-out Kamala has neither the hectic debauchery of Patong nor the swankiness of Surin. Shopping is done at local open-air markets or the small shops that line the village's streets selling tourist fare, beachwear and convenience items. Those seeking more upscale choices head north to Surin Beach (4km), to the Laguna Phuket Canal Village shopping centre in Bang Tao Beach (10km), or south to the Jungceylon shopping centre in Patong (15km).
A few minutes south of Kamala town, yet a world apart, is the headland known as Millionaires' Mile, a luxury enclave where Phuket's most stylish and pricey resorts and private villas can be found along its stunning coastal road. Among these is the smart Andara Resort, owned by Hong Kong's famed entrepreneur Allan Zeman, with its popular Silk restaurant, the Hyatt Regency Phuket and the five-star Cape Sienna resort, whose rooftop bar, Vanilla Sky, is a hot spot for sunset cocktails. Kamala is a 28km drive south from Phuket 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
Amanzi's unusual design really invites the outside in, with every room feeling closely linked to the sea, the sky and/or the hillside into which the villa is built. The top floor, running parallel to the sea, clings to the rocky cliff at one end and connects to a perpendicular building at the other, forming a 'bridge' that shades the living area below. Large hillside boulders form the north wall of the middle and lower levels.
Set in the bridge are three bright guest bedrooms, while the master suite, also on this upper level, features Apple TV entertainment and floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides offering stunning views. In a private, sea-facing corner of this suite's wrap-around balcony is a large terrazzo bathtub, while inside the spacious ensuite bathroom is a double shower. Each of the top-floor guest bedrooms is equipped with sliding glass doors leading to an outdoor walkway at the front, a flat-screen TV (two with DVD players) and an ensuite bathroom with shower. Running the length of the corridor connecting all the bedrooms are giant sliding glass doors facing the hill and garden area, giving the feeling of walking along a mountain path.
Two more bedrooms are found on the lower level next to the family room, both with sea views and ensuite bathrooms with showers. Also on this level is a luxurious bathroom with a large jacuzzi bathtub set under a rain shower next to a sea-view window. The family room has an oversized L-shaped sofa, a large Apple TV with DVD player, table tennis, pool table and a selection of DVDs, board games, books and magazines. All six bedrooms have king-sized beds (three of which can be converted to twins).
The spacious living/dining area is furnished with another large L-shaped sofa and a dining table with bench seating for up to 12. This area features huge glass doors front and back that slide away completely to allow a seamless transition to the gardens and pool terrace. Adjacent is a covered terrace – ideal for less formal meals – with circular table (seats eight) cut into a raised wooden platform. Next to the dining area is a bright, well-equipped guest kitchen, where a large frosted glass table for eight, plus a counter bar to accommodate a further four people, offers a pleasant place for enjoying a morning coffee.
