Villa Bhanu | Oceanfront 8 Bedroom Estate on the Kata Headland

The house

Villa Bhanu occupies the headland between Kata and Kata Noi, facing west across the Andaman. At its centre a double-height salon opens onto two infinity pools set one above the other, with Koh Pu on the horizon and the sun landing in the water beyond it. The sea is in view from almost every room.

Eight bedrooms and eleven bathrooms over four floors, 1,200 m² of interior space, within a gated estate of eleven residences.

Inside

A cantilevered stair turns through the full height of the house. The main floor holds the salon, a dining table for sixteen, a second dining terrace and a full western kitchen with breakfast counter. A media room and a climate-controlled wine cellar sit below.

Every bedroom is ensuite. Several open directly onto the water. The palette is deliberately quiet: white plaster, stone floors, teak, and the minimum of framing the structure allows.

Outside

Two pools, a rooftop terrace, a lawn set above the sea, outdoor showers and a barbecue terrace. The plot faces due west, so the house takes the sunset head-on every month of the year.

The address

Kata Noi Beach lies 600 metres down the hill and Kata Beach one kilometre north. Both are among the calmest swimming bays on the west coast, and Katathani anchors the quieter of the two.

The Kata viewpoint is three kilometres south, Nai Harn four and Promthep Cape six. Patong is twenty minutes north.

Your stay

A dedicated villa manager and full-time housekeeping, Monday to Saturday, 8:30 to 17:00. Pool service twice weekly, landscaping and a handyman on call. The estate is gated with 24-hour security and CCTV, and includes a communal pool and gym.

Quiet hours are observed from 22:00 to 10:00 daily. Pets may be considered on request. Rates vary by season and the nightly rate shown is the low-season minimum; please enquire for your dates.
