Villa Apolline is a sumptuous hillside haven within the secure Katamanda Estate with magnificent views over Kata Noi Beach on the beautiful island of Phuket. From its impressive reception and huge indoor-outdoor living areas to the chic bar, modern kitchen and seven beautiful bedrooms, every inch of this luxurious villa is designed to impress. An opulent holiday getaway for large family groups and friends, it offers an elevator, flexible bed configurations, children’s equipment, and professional in-villa staff including a chef. Sunset views from the impressive 13-metre infinity pool are just one of the reasons you will never want to leave.

Villa Apolline is part of a peaceful gated residential estate with particularly lush landscaping, and villa guests have access to the estate's clubhouse, with a fitness centre and tennis court. Just five minutes' walk from the villa is Mom Tri's Kitchen – a famous Phuket restaurant – while both Kata Noi and Kata Yai Beach are about a ten-minute walk away (although this does involve a steep descent and therefore an equally steep climb to get back home). Kata Noi is the quieter of the two beaches and fronts the Katathani Phuket Beach Resort.

The resort occupies most of the bay but for a handful of modest tourist shops, mini-marts and local restaurants on the small access road behind it. It's a short drive (3km) to Kata Viewpoint, a popular Phuket tourist spot known for its fabulous sunsets, and a 20-minute drive north takes you to the bustle of Patong Beach – the island's busiest tourist area packed with food, shopping and entertainment options.

When it comes to getting a good night’s rest, retire to one of the villa's seven plush bedrooms. With six king-size beds and one twin bedroom, Villa Apolline is perfect for multi-generational groups or those travelling with children.
