Malaiwana - Phuket’s Most Luxurious Private Address

From its perch 80 metres above the white sands and turquoise waters of Naithon Beach, Malaiwana delivers that combination of luxury, seclusion and awe-inspiring natural beauty so sought after in an address of distinction — yet rarely found.

Until now.

The luxury gated Malaiwana development, located on one of the last undeveloped stretches of Phuket’s northwest coast, comprises 19 magnificent estate villas, a secondary phase of 30 pool residences and a stylish oceanfront beach club. With 5-star estate management and concierge services, every owner can expect an uncompromised tropical experience in their new home in “the land of smiles.”

It’s here that discerning buyers will find the exceptional lifestyle that effortlessly melds privacy and seclusion with modern, sophisticated luxury rich in traditional Thai heritage.

Yet Malaiwana, which commands breathtaking ocean and sunset views from its serene sanctuary setting, is only 10 minutes from Phuket International Airport.

What’s the secret?

First, estate-size lots are set discretely amid lush tropical landscaping, ensuring that privacy and stunning views over the ocean are maximised.

Then, 19 sprawling villas — each boasting 963 square metres of indoor and outdoor living space — are carefully designed and crafted following the traditional “cluster” layout that separates the owner’s quarters from other household members and guests.

The owner’s quarters comprise two levels of luxury space — more than 190 square metres — connected by a private internal staircase. The master suite is conveniently located close to the kitchen, yet separated for privacy and seclusion. A magnificent personal Spa bathroom features a walk-through shower leading to an outside spa tub and the infinity pool beyond. A large multi-purpose room, adaptable to each owner’s requirements, has a bathroom and sun deck.

Next, the designers set to work on a spectacular two-floor social area of more than 500 square metres. Two Thai-style pavilions, one an enclosed living and dining area with water on two sides, the other an open pavilion leading to the sun deck, are just right for entertaining inside and out. And because privacy is paramount, the kitchen can be open for a shared culinary experience, or closed to separate staff on more formal occasions.

Finally, three ocean-view guest suites were designed for the lower level, each with private ensuite bath and balcony facing the ocean.

Even the boutique beach club is perched above the sands of Naithon for seclusion and ease of entertaining. The club, a magical place for a sunset drink, features a large swimming pool, gym and Spa, along with a restaurant and bar.

With an average year-round temperature of 28 C, dramatic hillsides, rocky headlands, gleaming white sands and turquoise waters, Phuket is unspoiled tropical island perfection.

Add Malaiwana to the mix and you have Phuket’s most exclusive private address, the place discerning people go to find true privacy, luxury and unsurpassed beauty.

Finally, paradise found.
