The five-bedroom Villa Saber blends modern design, vivid works of art and a superb ocean-view setting to offer families and groups a fun, lavish tropical escape. Found within a secured estate on Phuket's tranquil Cape Yamu, this fully staffed villa has an enviable position on the hillside that offers full views of both the sunrise and sunset over the sea. Stylish living and dining areas open to the 20-metre pool surrounded by ample terracing, lawn and tropical gardens, while each bedroom – including a master suite with jacuzzi – offers a private, restful haven. Additional facilities include a gym, a lift and rooftop terrace.

Villa Saber is one of 18 luxury villas in The Bay at Yamu, a hillside estate in Cape Yamu on the east coast of Phuket. Its lofty position offers fine views of both the sunrise and sunset, and a breath-taking panorama that includes Phang Nga Bay and Sapam Bay. Just a five-minute walk down the hill is a small beach where boats can be hired for trips to nearby islands. From the beach, traditional long-tail fishing boats can be seen gliding across the glassy water of the bay. It's not an ideal place to swim, but more for taking a stroll and soaking up the scenery. An open-air beachfront restaurant and a few shops offer snacks and Thai meals, while a one kilometre walk or drive to the east brings you to the excellent Breeze restaurant, best known for its decadent Sunday lunches.
