Property Details
 Baan
Kata Keeree is located on over one rai (1600 m2) of land at the southern
tip of Kata beach, on a rocky promontory overlooking the entire beach
and bay, including Poo Island. There is convenient beach access, whilst
the villa itself remains very exclusive with remote controlled entry gate.
Yachting friends can anchor their boats right under the villa and walk
up
Kata beach is well known to Phuket regulars as the best
swimming beach on the island during the dry season and the best surfing
beach in the rainy season. The fact that 70% of it is taken up by The
Club Med adds to the exclusivity factor, whilst meaning all sporting activities
are available. Some of the best restaurants on the island, and the best
wine cellar, are just walking distances away (The Boat House, The Kata
Grill).
Many would argue that this is the best location on the
island; private and secluded whilst also right within walking distance
of everything you need, and on one of the best but not yet over commercialized
beaches. As they say, location is not everything but it is most things!
 The house itself is totally unique and stands in it's own private grounds - it is one of a kind. Unlike most other developments on the island, which are part of communities, this property was entirely designed and constructed by the owners. The architect is Professor Junaphas who did the renowned Regent Four Seasons in Chiang Mai, amongst other exclusive developments. This property is quite easily the most outstanding sea front villa on Phuket.
The Thai style villa itself is made up of four main buildings covering over 400 m2 of house space, with another 400 m2 of terraces. The middle building is two stories, giving the two top bedrooms a complete view of the entire bay. The terrace space is particularly outstanding, with two levels and two swimming pools with cascades from one to the other (one is 12 m x 5 m with a Jacuzzi and swimming jet current, the other is a kiddies pool of 5 m x 2 m). The fully landscaped back gardens comprise a separate house which acts as the kids' playroom, plus a tree house and two functional waterfalls, one of which flows into a fish pond and also acts as the main entry level. There is another entrance sala at the top, and a separate service access.
 For your dining requirements you have a choice of a large outdoor teak table, which overlooks the entire bay, or the indoor dining area, both of which can comfortably seat 12. All indoor areas are fully air conditioned (including the western kitchen), with top of line recessed Mitsubishi Mr. Slim models. Fans are also available in all rooms. Small details such as deluxe Slumberland mattresses add to the feeling of comfort, which is always paramount in this type of property.
The house was designed for ease of living, and comprises a fully equipped modern kitchen right next to the lounge/living area (it has all modern conveniences, including a large cooled wine cellar). An additional kitchen for staff use and Thai cooking lies at the back near the covered parking area. All rooms have a full, unobstructed view of the sea and the swimming pool.
The entire house has been tastefully furnished, with no expense barred, using a combination of oriental antiques maximizing the use of colours, and different textures such as marble, granite and teak, which are used abundantly. Cable TV and computer/internet access are available, as is a fax machine.
The house comprises six bedrooms (four with king sized beds and two with twin singles) and six bathrooms, each with bath and separate shower, and most with private gardens containing ornamental statues. Part of the master bathroom looks out over the bay through an ornamental garden. The staff quarters consists of an extra two bedrooms with own bathrooms. A safe is available for guest use in the master bedroom.
The entire property, including trees and pools, is tastefully floodlit at night to give maximum effect.
Living and Dining Area
 The outdoor terrace hosts a classic, Asian, teak table, with places for twelve to wine and dine comfortably and is perfect for an evening dinner beneath the stars. The pool is close by for an extended evening of relaxing and a late night swim.

 Before or after dinner you may choose to have a drink or night cap in the main lounge area. Special accent pieces such as the Buddhist monk, blue and white ceramics and Asian art pieces make it an interesting room for quiet conversation and relaxing. The comfortable sofas sit eight people. From the main lounge area look out into the Andaman Sea while waiting for dinner or reading a book.
Kitchen
 The main, western style, kitchen is equipped with a microwave, an electric oven, a water boiler, a coffee pot, and a toaster oven.

 The second guest bedroom, the blue room, is perfect for a visiting couple. It has a king sized bed, desk and is also nice and private for a teenage member of the family. The blue room has its own adjacent washroom facilities, as well as a small refrigerator.
 The third and fourth guest bedrooms are the pink rooms, one having two twin beds and the other a king sized bed. The teak furniture and accents give the rooms a warm feel. Each room has a private view of the garden though the ensuite washroom, fully equipped with single tub and shower.
 The fifth and sixth guest bedrooms are the more conservative green rooms, similar in layout to the pink rooms in that one has two twin beds and the other a king sized bed.
