If the English philosopher Edmund Burke were right, if “beauty is the promise of happiness,” then this expansive oceanfront property in Thailand could be someone’s bliss. Offered by Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions, the property is located within one of the world’s most exclusive resorts.

The residence is both immense and stunningly beautiful, with nearly 34,000 square feet of living space in an Eden-like natural landscape. Situated on almost 1.4 acres of lush headlands in the heart of the unique and luxurious Amanpuri resort community, owners and guests will enjoy unobstructed views of the Andaman Sea.

The villa is laid out on multiple levels in four pavilions enveloped by open-air entertainment spaces. There are four bedroom suites, one in each pavilion, as well as spacious living and dining rooms, a large gourmet kitchen, and a magnificent sunken dining and living room.
Each of the villa’s bedrooms has a slightly different layout and design. All the living pavilions have direct access to the pool terrace. (Courtesy of owners and Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions)
Designed by architect Ed Tuttle, the villa’s interior features generous use of native Thai teakwood, with antique furnishings to underscore Tuttle’s affinity for simplicity, order, tranquility, and comfort. At the center of the pavilions, a signature 50-foot, black-tiled infinity pool extends outward toward the horizon from a poolside cabana and courtyard. Tuttle created a clean design that allows for seamless alfresco living year-round, in an atmosphere of island bliss.
The villa is a multi-level structure offering a vast array of amenities. The 34,000 square feet of living spaces is set on 1.4 acres of mature coconut grove adjacent to one of the world’s top resorts. (Courtesy of owners and Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions)
The property is surrounded by a mature coconut grove separating it from the nearby Amanpuri resort facilities, which are available to the owners and guests. The resort, located on the island of Phuket in Thailand on Pansea Beach, offers stunning views, an unparalleled beach club, a spa and wellness center, and sporting and curated experiences for residents and guests.
The villa’s pavilions each have a unique bedroom with ensuite features, plus unobstructed views of the sea. (Courtesy of owners and Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions)
