Villa Paradiso sits on the hillside above Naithon Beach, one of the calmer beaches on Phuket’s west coast. Floor-to-ceiling windows run along the living and dining space, looking across a 17 x 4 metre infinity pool to the Andaman Sea. Inside, the style is black-and-white and contemporary, with high wooden ceilings.
The villa is staffed: an in-house chef, housekeeping, a villa manager and a concierge team. Beyond the five bedrooms there is an entertainment room with a bar, pool table, Japanese-style dining area and home-cinema set-up, an upstairs lounge, an ocean-view family room with its own patio, and a fitness room. The estate has 24-hour security and a two-car garage.
It is above the beach rather than on it, so check how you want to reach the sand when you enquire.
