VILLA ANAYA , CAPE YAMU, PHUKET A rare expression of contemporary tropical luxury, Villa Anaya is an extraordinary beachfront estate within the prestigious, gated Cape Residences on Cape Yamu, Phuket. Conceived by internationally acclaimed designers Jean-Michel Gathy and Philippe Starck, the residence is designed around a singular idea: effortless living, complete privacy, and an enduring connection to the Andaman Sea. Set across a remarkable double plot of approximately 4.2 rai (6,990 m²) with approximately 3,280 m² of built-up space, Villa Anaya offers an exceptional combination of scale, architecture, and beachfront access rarely found in Phuket. Inside, refined Italian craftsmanship and natural travertine create a timeless sense of calm. The architecture follows the principles of the golden ratio, bringing balance, proportion, and continuity to the expansive interiors. Every space has been considered not simply for visual impact but for how it feels to live within it. The estate encompasses six generously appointed ensuite bedrooms, each designed as a private retreat. A dedicated cinema, games/library/cigar room, yoga and meditation studio, massage and spa facilities, fully equipped gym, and private office create a resort-caliber environment designed for both intimate family living and sophisticated entertaining. The office could also be reconfigured to provide two additional bedrooms, offering further flexibility for owners or guests. Beyond the interiors, the estate opens naturally toward the sea. A spectacular 20m x 8m swimming pool overlooks the Andaman, complemented by a pool bar with BBQ teppanyaki and ice-making facilities. With approximately 100 meters of direct beachfront access, the villa offers the rare privilege of stepping directly from a private estate into the natural beauty of Phuket’s coastline. Practical infrastructure has been thoughtfully integrated into the estate, including separate accommodation for four staff members, a dedicated nanny house, extensive storage, gardener and equipment facilities, and a substantial 50 m³ water reservoir. These elements provide the operational functionality expected of a property of this caliber while preserving the tranquility of the principal residence. From an investment perspective, Villa Anaya represents more than a luxury residence. Its exceptional landholding, substantial built footprint, beachfront position, architectural pedigree, and flexible living configuration create a compelling long-term asset in one of Phuket’s most sought-after enclaves. The property is offered through a share transfer of a BVI-protected leasehold structure, providing an established ownership framework for qualified purchasers subject to appropriate legal and tax due diligence. Villa Anaya is ultimately about rarity: privacy without isolation, scale without compromise, and resort-level amenities within an exceptionally private beachfront setting. For an owner seeking a distinguished Phuket residence with meaningful underlying asset characteristics, Villa Anaya presents an opportunity of uncommon scale and sophistication.
