The stunning six-bedroom Villa Cierra rests above the cliffs of Kamala Bay on the west coast of Phuket. This Thai-style villa offers a secluded, private hideaway with superb sea views from nearly every room, spectacular sunsets and open-plan lifestyle experience.Spacious pavilions with stylish interiors and authentic Thai artefacts blend perfectly with the immaculate tropical gardens replete with lush lawns and lotus ponds, a 16-metre free-form infinity pool and towering casuarina and coconut trees. Fully staffed, including a villa manager and private chef, it will appeal to groups, couples, and families with older children. Beyond the villa are golden beaches and the lively Patong Beach.

Villa Cierra is located on the rocky headland near Kamala Bay where the picturesque backdrop of the Andaman Sea is dreamlike and the sunsets supreme. Part of the exclusive Laemson estate, it's secluded, peaceful and spacious. The gardens are a blend of pristine lawns, elegant lotus ponds, wide terraces and tropical trees. Just below the villa, 70 steep steps give access to a private estate beach, ideal for snorkelling. From the villa heading back along the winding road toward Kamala village are a number of high-end luxury resorts. Silk at Andara Resort puts on a tasty Thai feast, and the signature cocktails in Diavolo at Paresa come with a spectacular 270-degree viewpoint. Crystal clear and calm in the dry season, Kamala Beach is a great spot to swim and try the local food at one of the beachside restaurants.
