Top 10 Stunning Hotel Pools of Thailand

Top ten hotel pools in Thailand

Swimming pools are more spectacular than ever, and not only do they have to look incredible; they have to have great views too.

A pool can be one of a resort’s architectural focal points and we have compiled a list of the top 10 most sensational and extraordinary hotel pools in Thailand. Each of these pools has something amazing to offer – from an infinity edge pool overlooking the sea to a secluded resort pool in the mountains – this is where swimming is almost beside the point.

Alila Cha-Am, Petchaburi
The rooftop reflecting pool is nothing short of stunning – a structural triumph. Clean lines and perfect symmetry are the ruling principles.

Amanpuri, Phuket
The striking 27-metre midnight-blue tiled freshwater pool instantly stands out, glistening amongst statuesque coconut palms and backdropped by the turquoise Andaman Sea.

Baan Taling Ngam Beach Resort & Spa, Koh Samui
The view from the infinity pool is breathtaking, with Ang Thong Marine National Park and its neighbouring islands visible in the distance. And with a bar floating on the edge of the pool, there is no better place to make the most of the incredible sunsets.

Asia’s most spectacular beachfront estate

luxury villa in Phuket

This ultra-private, ultra-luxurious 4-acre oceanfront villa estate is undeniably exceptional, boasting stunning views, amazing design and refinement. Asia’s most glamorous home features a massive 6,000m² of indoor living space – designed for absolute privacy.

The prestigious estate is located on Natai Beach on the southwest coast of Thailand, in the Phang Nga province. The beach is considered one of Asia’s most exclusive and luxurious waterfronts and is often referred to as Thailand’s Hamptons with large, gated oceanfront villas and luxury resorts.

Natai Beach offers access to a wonderland of national parks, waterfalls, untouched pristine beaches and sparsely populated islands, yet it is less than one hour from Phuket’s world-class shopping, restaurants, spas, golf courses and hospitals, and just 20 minutes from Phuket International Airport.

The villa is designed by Hong Kong architect Branko Pahor, who has created many of the most extravagant villas in Greater Phuket. With granite, marble, glass and steel, the exquisite details throughout are second to none, and the architectural masterpiece is decorated with over US$2 million in luxury furnishings from around the world.

The mega home is ultra-modern with walls of glass, framing the never-ending views of the azure Andaman Sea. The master bedroom is 500m² of stylish white space with its own swimming pool. The three guest rooms are decorated in various Asian themes, including a 350m² Japanese-style bedroom with its own enclosed Zen garden. 

The ϋber-stylish home boasts all the amenities you dream of. A spa includes a steam room and sauna to accommodate a dozen guests, and houses an even larger outdoor Jacuzzi. Special attention has been given to the in-house, 350m² fitness area. With its 80 pieces of equipment, yoga area and free weights, it must be one of the best private gyms in the world.

The estate also features a massive home cinema, karaoke room, 2-lane bowling alley, tennis courts and beachfront 2-hole golf course.

This sensational beachfront villa estate invites grand entertaining and serene living.
