Villa Amanzi
Posted by Scott
Perched on a sea cliff in Phuket, Villa Amanzi is making me wish I was anywhere but home right now. The “luxury villa” hotel built in 2008 by architects Original Vision, is a spacious 2,644sm. I was going to throw this into the category of “stuff I can’t have” but then I looked at the rates/reservations page. If you go at the right time you can get the place for $2000/night, and it sleeps 12 people. That’s $166 / night each; not so crazy really. Now I just have to get back down to Thailand. Speaking of which, I was lucky enough to visit there once, I took some pictures.

January 18, 2011 at 4:43 pmnice architecture, but a total lack of understatement.

January 18, 2011 at 4:50 pmInteresting, I’m working on a house design with a cantilever pool somewhat like that and started blog surfing while the render finished.
Looks perfect.

yeah, but this is Phuket, a place not necessarily know for restraint in the visual realm.

totally agree,
but $2000 is what thai-people earn in a year, i guess. Considering this wouldn’t make me feel comfortable staying in that place. I think good design should also contain a sense for it’s surrounding. And I miss the solar-panel ;)
but a nice housing though :)

January 19, 2011 at 10:09 amI’ve never been to Phucket – But I did stay in Koh Samui which is a tropical island off of the west coast of Thailand. Villa Amanzi makes me want to go back to Thailand even more.

February 26, 2011 at 1:23 amClearly a great deal of design work and thought went into this Thai villa! I must however agree with David that it seems devoid of a sense of place – although perhaps Phuket’s calling card today is that it is an international playground brimming with diversity. Combining a stay here with an upcountry rural villa would really underline the contrasts in the country and its peoples!
