PH28

Escape to one of the most exclusive properties on Phuket: PH28 at Cape Yamu. Part of the luxury Cape Yamu development, this five-bedroom vacation rental features a lush, secluded lot with ocean views, attentive full-time staff and elegant modern architecture. The spacious, private setting is ideal for a quiet family holiday, a relaxed warm-weather getaway with friends or even a honeymoon in what feels like your own little world. Your stay at PH28 includes a daily continental breakfast as well as chef, housekeeping, property manager and security services. Guests of the villa are also welcome at Breeze, the five-star oceanfront restaurant on the grounds of the Cape Yamu estate. You’ll want to spend your days on the sunny terrace, where loungers and daybeds await, and a sparkling infinity pool looks out toward the ocean. Heat up the barbecue as the sun sets, then finish the evening with a soak in the hot tub or a movie in the media room. Divided into pavilions with high ceilings, large windows with louvered panels, exotic hardwood floors and sleek modern furnishings, the villa feels both breezy and sophisticated. Low-slung sofas and chairs and a glass-topped table keep the sightlines to the sea open in the great room, while a wood-paneled ceiling and driftwood-style table base are warm, organic touches of texture. The chic espresso-hued dining table seats ten, and for more casual occasions, there’s the breakfast bar in the fully equipped kitchen. Each of the five bedrooms at PH28 has a king bed, en-suite bathroom and direct access to the terrace. The master suite has its own lounge area and opens to a private terrace with a hot tub. Cool teak and terrazzo floors, neutral-toned bedding and drapes, and louvered windows make the bedrooms serene, comfortable spaces where you can retreat to watch TV or sit at the desks in several suites and share photos via Wi-Fi. Though the villa feels like your own private haven, it’s an easy 5-minute walk to the nearest beach, and a short drive to famed Surin Beach and Patong Beach. If you can tear yourself away from the pool, you can stroll the boardwalk at the Royal Phuket Marina, tee off at Laguna Golf Phuket or Red Mountain Golf Club, explore Old Town Phuket or have the night of your life at the bars on Bangla Road. When it’s time to leave PH28 and Cape Yamu, plan on a 16-mile drive to Phuket International Airport.
