Yin and Yang, two unique clifftop villas, combine chic surrounds and the best of tropical living on Thailand’s favourite hideaway island.
If you’re looking for an escape destination once the world starts travelling again, look west, as Phuket rarely ceases her seductive dance. Despite its popularity, the powder sand beaches, dramatic coastline, and renowned Thai hospitality prevail, which is why so many affluent travellers choose it as their warm-weather retreat.

However, staying in Phuket doesn’t mean you have to share – far from it; two stunning clifftop villas in Kamala combine the best of both worlds: easy access to one of the island’s finest beaches when you feel like being social, and plenty of privacy and tranquility for when you don’t.
The beauty of the Villas Yin and Yang is in their similarity; located beside each other on a lush hillside overlooking the Andaman Sea, the two individual villas both feature four spacious guest rooms, decadent interiors, modern conveniences, and a lofty position above Phuket’s Millionaire Mile, meaning larger groups can book both, and enjoy a seamless stay. Villas can be rented separately as four-bedroom villas, or together to create a sumptuous eight-bedroom private estate that offers the absolute in luxury and style.

Villa Yin and Villa Yang are located in the coveted Cape Sol district, a secluded seafront community of palatial villas and opulent holiday homes overlooking one of the island’s most beautiful bays. Such a location offers close proximity to Kamala Beach while the entertainment precinct of Patong is just 15 minutes away, the international airport only 30.
Designed by respected Thai architect Charupan Wiriyawiwatt of Hong Kong-based Naga Concepts, each villa fuses elements of classic Thai design with a dazzling collection of ancient and contemporary art, including 14th and 15th century Thai Buddhas, ancient Burmese gongs, and modern works by artists Xiu Ciu Wen, David LaChapelle, and Andy Warhol.
In fact, the villas’ ‘yin yang’ sensibility is a study in complementary opposites, mixing elements of classic, soft-lined Thai architecture and tropical gardens with the hard, crisp lines of contemporary furnishings. Dark wood terracing, marble, and granite give each villa a natural persona, contrasted by bold colours, designer pieces, and intimate, eye-catching touches, from glass stairways to iridescent beaded bathtubs.

Each villa is also a home-away-from-home that embraces its location. Each refined guest room boasts king or double-sized beds, air conditioning and ceiling fans, lavish ensuites, walk-in wardrobes, and stunning ocean views. The master suite and guest house suites also benefit from luxurious soak tubs, perfect after a long day exploring western Phuket’s dramatic coastline. The Thai-styled pavilions which make up the main components of each property are secluded by design but connected by paths.
Every detail has been anticipated: guests can retreat to a secluded natural swimming enclave on Kamala via a private staircase, or soak in each villa’s private infinity pool, captivated by the seascape below. Floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors fuse ample indoor and outdoor living spaces, while state-of-the-art kitchens by Minotti are complimented by a spacious wine cellar, massage suite, and home cinema.
A popular setting for intimate weddings, Villas Yin and Villa Yang can be combined to create an enviable eight-bedroom seaside villa that affords newlyweds privacy and luxury. Villa Yin can cater to weddings and events for up to 75 guests, while Villa Yang caters to 40. Both sumptuous villas offer full catering and event management on offer.
