At The Villa

The first thing that guests notice about Villa Zai is the sheer magnitude of the property. Panoramic views of the sea and sunset greet guests from both the indoors and outdoors, with the villa being surrounded by natural greenery at its perch. From the rooftops to the bedroom terraces, the views are nothing less than photogenic.

With its expansive lounge areas, luxurious bedrooms, and facilities for entertainment and leisure, Villa Zai redefines the elite villa experience in one sleek property that can contain up to 22 guests.

Rooms

It’s worth noting that all bedrooms at Villa Zai have their own panoramic sea views, whether from the outdoor terraces or the large windows. These incredible views of the sea set the ambiance for the rest of the Villa Zai experience, with more thoughtful details making for a memorable stay.

The master bedroom is a definite highlight of the villa, with its own living room that can seat up to 14 people. The living room can double as an area for entertaining fellow guests, and is separate from the bedroom area which contains an emperor-sized bed. A work table, a Smart TV, and a minibar add five-star luxury to the bedroom space.

Next to the master bedroom in grandeur are the two duplex bedrooms, which come with their own living and seating areas for quiet moments with loved ones. The duplex bedrooms act as mini-apartments that are divided between two levels, with the seating and bar areas below and the bedrooms above.

The eight bedrooms are no less luxurious, with outdoor terracing, Smart TVs, and minibars complimenting the lush sleeping arrangements. While the Emperor-sized beds come as standard for the villa, some bedrooms can be reconfigured to have two single-sized beds.

Facilities

If the bedrooms at Villa Zai are part of its luxurious charm, then its facilities and features take the villa to the next level of sophistication. These unique features are instrumental in building up Villa Zai’s reputation as one of Phuket’s most elite vacation rental properties.

Take, for example, the vast living area on the third floor, which takes the best of both the indoors and outdoors and amplifies them in one integrated space. Outdoor lounging areas flow effortlessly into the well-appointed living space, with its designer furniture, convertible ping-pong/billiards table, and post-modern aesthetic.

Outside of the living area is the expansive infinity pool, with its elevated view of the sea. The inviting pool deck provides the perfect setting for fun under the sun, whether it’s for leisurely lounging or sunset watching. Next to the pool is a sea-fronting whirlpool where guests can enjoy a bubbly outdoor soak.

Not too far from the living area is the villa’s dining area, which holds a hidden entrance to the villa’s sumptuous game room. Here guests are welcomed into a space that’s designed specifically for grown-ups, with a multipurpose card table as the centerpiece of the room. Loungers and a functional cocktail bar complete the glamorous space.

On the second floor is Villa Zai’s own private cinema room, which has a 140-inch screen for enjoying high-quality movie nights at the villa. The cinema room comes with its own projector and access to streaming services such as Netflix and Disney Plus, turning every binge-watch session into a major cinematic event.

The ground floor houses Villa Zai’s own wellness complex, which consists of a spa, a gym, and the property’s exclusive pickleball court and golf putting green. Guests at the villa can use these facilities at their leisure, whether to meet fitness goals or simply try new things for their physical and mental wellness.

The spa at Villa Zai stands out for its two massage rooms: one for oil-based massages, and one for dry Thai-style massages. The spa also comes with its own lounge area, a steam room for sweating out tension and an ensuite bathroom complete with bathtub for post-rubdown soaks.

The gym is a sleek resort-style facility with views of Villa Zai’s outdoor gardens. The top-of-the-line cardio and strength-training equipment at the villa comes from Technogym, and there are additional fitness gadgets such as kettlebells and yoga gear. The gym even comes with its own his-and-hers restroom for guests who require their utmost privacy.

For more competitive action, Villa Zai’s own guest-exclusive pickleball court and golf putting green lets guests practice their favorite sport privately, regardless of their skill level. Combined with the spa and gym, these sports facilities give guests a chance to work up a sweat during their stay.

As if the villa life could not get any better for Villa Zai’s guests, access to the villa’s sea-fronting rooftop is also an option for staging intimate parties and Instagram-worthy photo opportunities.
