Larimar Villa

Behind a sculptural white slat facade, this four-bedroom pool villa rises over two storeys in the green heart of Chalong. Floor-to-ceiling glass slides open to dissolve the line between inside and out, drawing the living and dining space straight onto a covered terrace and the L-shaped pool that wraps around it. The slatted screens filter the Phuket sun, keeping the interiors cool and softly lit through the day.

Step outside and the lawn, tropical planting and water feature frame an effortless retreat for morning swims and long evenings by the pool. Lotus's and Robinson Chalong, BCIS International School and Chalong Pier are five to ten minutes away, with Rawai Beach a short fifteen-minute drive. It is a calm, connected base for full-time island living or a turnkey rental in one of Phuket's most practical neighbourhoods.
