Ayara Surin (Nine) 6 Bedroom | SURIN

A highly desirable and private, tropical villa, set in the Surin hills with panoramic sea views. It is likely to be one of the most sought-after private villas available on the island, due to its excellent location, large size and price that is well below replacement cost.

The villa benefits from a very functional layout set over three levels. The central theme is oriented towards an alfresco lifestyle but maintains both formal dining and entertainment pavilions.

With dramatic high cathedral ceilings, there is a feeling of expansive space that is reinforced by breathtaking panoramic views overlooking the sea and Amanpuri.

The villa is set on a plot of 1,632 Sq.m.

The villa features both formal and informal indoor and alfresco living areas, six large guest bedrooms, with en suite bathrooms, twin kitchens, twin maids quarters for easy main staff and any accommodation, especially large storage areas, a garden, twin parking and of course a fantastic pool with surrounding terrace space for entertaining and open air salsa for dining, relaxing and massage, all overlooking the beautiful Andaman sea and Surin beach.

Taking the levels and rooms in greater detail:

This pavilion has floor-to-ceiling windows on all four sides, each with access points. There are chairs and a matching sofa with an emphasis on comfort.

The dining pavilion is to the left of the living room and also has a vaulted ceiling and fans. Furnished with a long table, perfect for entertaining, which more than comfortably seats eight, the views to the horizon are exquisite.

To the rear is an immense, extremely well-appointed kitchen. There are extensive polished-wood cabinets, with a black marble countertop, and encompassing a central island which is split to provide a breakfast bar to one side, and ample preparation space on the other.

To the rear is a further Thai kitchen, which is also fully-equipped with a gas and electric hob and wide extractor hood, an in-built deep-fat fryer, microwave and large fridge freezer. This additional kitchen is excellent for entertaining or for pungent Thai cooking.

This has a cool, marble floor, ceiling fans and a fully-equipped bar at one end with, high-top bar. The half-shuttered windows to the left all open to allow the through breezes of the fully-open area to the front of the villa.

To the right of the TV area, there is a convenient cloakroom equipped with a separate w/c, a glass shower cubicle, hanging space and drawers plus a steam room.

Next to this is a third bedroom. This is a duplicate of the master bedroom above, with the exception of the private balcony.

There are two sales at the front corners or the pool terrace level. Each has ample space as a dining area or for massage or day beds . Both these areas offer sublime views across the bay, by day or night and make for excellent entertainment venues.

Stairs lead down to the lower level from either side of the pool, and on the turn, each has a good-sized storage room to accommodate the pool furniture. To the left is a large guest suite, comprising an extensive dressing area to the left, a well-appointed en-suite with Jacuzzi bath, overlooking a pebble garden and the waterfall feature.

The main body of the bedroom faces the sea views across the vivid tropical foliage to the fore, and has a private covered balcony.

This has a lovely marble floor giving a cool feeling to the room. A Jacuzzi bath takes the central position against the back wall, with a separate w/c and walk-in shower cubicle to either side. In front of these are wash basins, with large mirrors above and storage below.

All of the living accommodation benefits from individually-controlled, ducted air-conditioning.

The villa is totally private and not overlooked thanks to its dominant position within the secure, gated community. The villa is located in the heart of Surin within easy reach of the some of the best beaches in Phuket, excellent restaurants and the island’s top resorts and golf clubs.
