Millionaire’s Mile

01.06.17

The winding piece of road which meanders over the mountain between Kamala Bay and Patong Beach, is commonly known as the “Millionaire’s Mile”. It's for good reason that it received this moniker, as many of Phuket’s finest properties have chosen this section of rugged headland on Phuket’s west coast for their location. The aspect from here provides unrivalled views over the Indian Ocean, and impossibly beautiful sunsets.

And so it was… after scouring Ko Samui and Phuket for almost 2 years, that this locale was the only choice for the construction of the super-villa “The Aquila”. The latest addition to the Millionaire Mile not only takes its place among the best, but puts many of its rivals to shame.

However, unless you are one of the sea-eagles which often soar overhead, or a guest at the property, then you are unlikely to cast eyes upon this exclusive villa, and that is by design. Absolute privacy was one of the primary objectives for this property.

Built on what is arguably the finest block of land on the island, the 2.5 acre estate is almost perfectly hidden from prying eyes. Nestled into the cliff-face, The Aquila is bordered by a natural waterfall on one side and virgin tropical forest on the other. With 165m metres of ocean-frontage, the Andaman ocean is the only thing you will see, stretching uninterrupted until it touches the horizon. You could be forgiven for thinking you were the only person on the planet, and that’s a nice feeling.

The 7-bedroom Villa boasts all the features that you would expect from such a property, yet it does this while looking completely at home in its surrounds. Very little vegetation was cleared for the project, and structures were often built around old-growth trees making them a feature.

Some of the other memorable features include the 30 metre infinity pool, an in-house spa for treatments, gym, entertainment room and formal library. A personal chef as well as a host of wait-staff are also provided to cater to your every need.

With the lovely curved bay of Kamala a mere few minutes down the road, complete with its laid-back vibe, restaurants and beach clubs, then you will begin to understand how this really has a claim to being one of the best locations around.

The Aquila is available for holiday rentals, weddings and events.
