Sava Beach Villas - Malee Sai

Set on an acre of beachfront land at Natai Beach, half an hour’s drive from Phuket airport, and with endless ocean views, the six-bedroom Villa Malee Sai offers a lavish tropical escape for families and groups. The villa’s bright, open-plan living and dining rooms open completely to the terrace, outdoor entertaining area and the 25-metre infinity pool that stretches towards the horizon. Villa Malee Sai’s wealth of facilities, which include a modern guest kitchen, TV room, petanque area, table tennis, foosball and bicycles are complemented by the five-star service of its staff, including a skilled Thai chef and friendly villa manager. 

Villa layout
Arranged in a U-shape that wraps around a central pool, Malee Sai offers wide sea views. Set at the villa’s centre, just behind the 25-metre pool, the open-plan living area features floor-to-ceiling glass doors that slide open fully to let the ocean breezes flow through. Access to all areas of the villa, both indoors and out, is via this pivotal space. The TV room off to the side leads to the villa’s single-storey wing with three bedrooms including a master suite that extends along the pool’s length towards the sea. The dining area and guest kitchen are on the ground floor of the two-floor wing opposite, with a second master suite and two guest bedrooms above.

Indoor living
Villa Malee Sai’s interior spaces are warm and inviting, with colourful design touches throughout that complement the vibrant tropical surrounds. In the central section of the villa under a lofty roof is the living room, furnished with a sleek white sofa for relaxing in cool comfort while gazing across the pool and sea. Part of the room is devoted to play, with a foosball table and toys, and it opens completely to the pool terrace in front and the reflecting pool behind for a breezy indoor-outdoor ambiance. Alternatively it can be closed and cooled with air conditioning.
The living area flows to the dining room and modern guest kitchen where the tropical sun shines through floor-to-ceiling glass doors on three sides to light up the room with a golden glow. A main dining table and a small corner table together seat up to 14 guests. The TV room strewn with bean bags and an oversized sofa is a fun, cosy spot for families to gather, and can be sealed off by sliding wooden doors for added privacy.

Outdoor living
Set on a beachfront plot of nearly 4,400 square metres, Malee Sai is ideal for lovers of the great outdoors and for staging an enchanting event in the tropics. Serious swimmers and playful water babies will all find plenty space in the 25-metre infinity pool, while the surrounding sunbed-lined deck and canopied barbecue dining area offer stylish spots to unwind. At the front corner of the beachfront lawn is a peak-roofed sala offering relaxation and a prime sea view, while those wanting to burn off some energy can enjoy petanque or badminton on the large lawn to the rear of the villa.
