Location
The Locale
Villa Saan sits within the exclusive Cape Amarin estate on the ‘Millionaires’ Mile’ headland separating Kamala and Patong beaches.
With panoramic sea and sunset views, the villa overlooks a small bay, where the roofs of some of Phuket’s finest resorts and villas peep through the tropical treetops that border the ocean. Just six kilometres to the north sits Kamala Beach, a pretty stretch of soft golden sand popular with families. Try surfing, body boarding, simply relaxing on the sand, or indulge in some Thai seafood (or pizza!) at one of the casual open-air restaurants lining the beach. A bit further away to the south is the hectic Patong Beach, with a good range of water sports, shopping, dining and nightlife choices.

Things to Do
Though Villa Saan is tucked away on a quiet headland, it’s easy enough to get around from here with the help and guidance of your well-informed villa manager. Phuket’s best beaches are just a short drive away and transport to sights further afield are simple to arrange. A wealth of Phuket island adventures await, both on the sea and inland. In the meantime, here is a taste of the many and varied activities on offer within reach of the villa.
Take a cruise aboard a luxury yacht and discover the wonders and colours of the Andaman Sea. The towering karsts of Phang Nga Bay and the clear waters and white sands of the Raya, Similan and Phi Phi islands are all within easy reach.
Keep cool and fit in the water with some windsurfing, kite surfing, sea kayaking, wakeboarding or stand-up paddling, or slip below the surface on a scuba diving or snorkelling excursion to explore the rich sea life.
Join the kids to watch a Thai theatrical spectacle at Phuket FantaSea, or for a slip-sliding day out at Splash Jungle water park. Or take a spin down the world’s largest zorbing ball course at the Rollerball Zorbing park.
Relax, release and restore your senses with a spa treatment in luxurious surrounds at the Banyan Tree or nearby Paresa resort, or to the sound of ocean waves with a simple beachside Thai massage.
Explore the streets of Old Phuket on a cultural walking tour. Find out about the island’s history beyond its beaches, take in the colour and beauty of the Sino-Portuguese style shops and mansions and sample the local eats that earned Phuket a UNESCO ‘city of gastronomy’ accolade.
Learn the secrets behind making some of this exotic and flavourful cuisine yourself by joining a Thai cookery class.
Tee off tropical style at the Laguna Phuket Golf Club, Blue Canyon, Mission Hills or other Phuket golf courses.
Explore the island’s diverse and daring after-dark scene. Choose from stylish cocktail and wine bars, waterside sunset lounges and raucous Patong clubs for a unique Phuket-by-night experience.
Reconnect with nature in the island’s interior with elephant and horseback riding, ATV trail rides, waterfalls and jungle walks, the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project, zip-lining at Hanuman World, bungy jumping, agricultural tours and more.
Indulge in some retail therapy at Jungceylon shopping centre in Patong or along its lively streets with vendors selling arts and crafts, clothing, and an eclectic mix of souvenirs.
