The Glasshouse is the perfect secluded setting for a relaxed and private vacation with family & friends. Nestled into the jungle hillside and set in an area of 1,140sqm, this modern 6-bedroom house provides some of the best sea-views available in Phuket.
The infinity pool is the centrepiece of the Glasshouse experience and the whole villa is designed for sharing quality experiences and creating lasting memories. Whether you're watching the sunset from the living room or one of our three balconies, relaxing in the shade of the Thai sala or sharing a drink at the bar table, your time at the Glasshouse will be full of special moments.
Located on a small peninsular, the villa is just a few minutes walk from two beautiful unspoiled beaches. Ao Yon beach (east-facing) and Khao Khad beach (west-facing).are both in sheltered bays so, with no rip tides, they're suitable for swimming all year round.
The house is set among landscaped tropical gardens connected by stone pathways and dotted with several terraced areas. The 10m infinity pool is at the heart of the Glasshouse experience and includes a jacuzzi for the ultimate indulgence, day or night.
Loungers on the pool side are perfect for soaking up the sun or move to the Thai style sala with it's sofas and coffee table for some shade. The sala has its own speakers so that you can enjoy chill out music by the pool or perhaps something more lively with cocktails as you watch the sun set across the bay. Outside seating includes; 8 poolside loungers, sofa for 6 in the sala, 4 bar stools.
Partially remodelled in 2024, the spacious open planned living space with panoramic views of Chalong bay spans the entire width of the property and opens directly on to the pool terrace and sala. It includes a dining area with seating for 16 for formal dining, a TV den (75" TV with sound system and a selection of board games for adults & kids) and a triple height sitting area with its own hifi quality sound system. The open design merges with the pool terrace making it ideal for informal, al fresco eating, entertaining or just relaxing. The living space extends upstairs where we have a full-sized table tennis table, an office desk with swivel chair in case you have to work and an outside balcony with a circular day bed. Perfect for meditation, reading or another space for the kids to play. Keep healthy with our yoga mats, TRX and resistance bands.

The Cape Panwa area of Phuket is perhaps one of the island's best-kept secrets. The villa is situated on a small peninsula and close to two separate beaches, each just a few minutes walk away. Khao Khad is 1-2 minutes walk from the villa with nearly 1km stretch of beach. It’s undeveloped with just a few beach bars and restaurants. Most guests prefer Ao Yon beach which is 2-3 minutes walk and is also quiet and undeveloped. Both beaches are relatively sheltered and don’t have the high waves and rip tides that the west coast beaches experience.
All the essential amenities you need to make your stay convenient, comfortable and indulgent are just a short walk away. There’s a Family Mart convenience store about 300 metres away open 24/7. It has an ATM and stocks a wide range of products including drinks, ice, snacks, confectionery, ice cream, toiletries, and other essentials. They also sell alcohol during permitted hours (11am-2pm, 5pm-midnight).
If you want to explore further afield, it's easy to get around with local taxi vans (can generally accommodate 11 passengers)
The nearest outdoor food markets are in Borae, a nearby village. One is open all day and the other, slightly closer and more interesting, is open late afternoon to early evening. These sell fruit, vegetables, fresh fish, meat & cooked food as well as Thai desserts and other local products. The nearest supermarket is about 5 minutes away in Makham Bay.
Phuket attractions that are within 5-10 minutes of the Glasshouse include Phuket Aquarium, Ao Yon waterfall, Khao Khad Tower & Viewpoint, and Tarzan Adventure. Water-based activities such as kayaking, sailing, snorkeling & diving start out from Ao Yon beach.
Phuket's other attractions are scattered across the island and most places you'd want to visit are within a 15-45 minute drive.
The big international style supermarkets in Phuket Central are about 15-20 minutes away. If there’s something very specific that you need, Central Food Hall at Floresta has a world-class range of imported products.
The villa is always offered with exclusive use of the house, pool, and gardens.
To encourage thoughtful use of resources, electricity is included up to 200units/day. This will cover regular use of the villa and pool with modest use of aircon. Any use over this is charged at cost.
