Set in a quiet, scenic location close to Bang Tao Beach, The Picasso Villas complex contains two standalone properties: Villa Pablo and Villa Paloma.
Both properties feature five bedrooms, sun-dappled outdoor spaces and beautifully appointed interiors. While Villa Pablo boasts a football themed decor (football memorabilia, like rare photographs and signed player shirts adorn the living spaces), Villa Paloma oozes a feminine vibe with its Jayne Mansfield inspired design. The villas may be rented individually or as a complex to house travelling parties of 20.
Each property contains five bedrooms. The ground floor contains two guest bedrooms fitted with twin singles, while both master suites (outfitted with king beds) are located on the upper floor.
While all bedrooms are comfortably furnished, the master suites stand out with its Picasso prints and access to private sun terraces. A fifth bedroom, equipped with double bed and a private en suite accommodates two guests.
Both villas feature a private outdoor compound. There’s an upper floor terrace with views out to the forested hills, while the ground floor compound extends out from the living area to include a swimming pool, al fresco dining area and barbecue facilities.
The complex also features a private, FIFA approved mini-football 5-a-side pitch complete with floodlights. Professional coaching and training may be arranged for football enthusiasts. The 18m x 38m space also doubles up as a spacious venue for weddings, birthday celebrations and team building events.
Step into the open plan living area, and you’ll find an airy, sunlit space featuring an indoor lounge, dining area and kitchen. Bi-folding doors open out towards the outdoor space, providing uninterrupted views out to the pool.
While both villas feature a contemporary decor, each boasts a unique style. Villa Paloma draws inspiration from Hollywood icon Jayne Mansfield; an extensive wall space is bedecked with Mansfield’s movie posters (arranged in the same order at her Hollywood “Pink Palace”), and the upper floor lounge is decorated with her original 1950s sofa set and clothed mannequin. Villa Pablo will appeal to football enthusiasts with its variety of memorabilia, which include signed player shirts by the likes of Pele, Beckham and Maradona.
Both Villa Pablo and Paloma are full service properties.
Picasso Villas is located along the western coasts of Phuket, about 10 minutes’ drive from Bang Tao Beach. The estate enjoys a laidback setting and picture-perfect tropical views, and makes a great getaway for family holidays.
Bang Tao Beach offers ideal sea conditions for swimming and water sports during the high season, between the months of November till February. We’d recommend heading to Layan Beach, located at the northern end of Bang Tao Beach - the warm, shallow waters, pristine shores and crowd-free coast creates an idyllic setting for ultimate relaxation.
Away from the beach, try out wakeboarding at Anthem Wake Park, golf at Phuket Adventure Mini-Golf (this family-friendly attraction is a great bet for young children) or cultural sightseeing at the colourful Wat Cherngtalay. Also located within the vicinity are Banyan Tree Spa and Angsana Spa Laguna Phuket - luxurious spa venues featuring top-notch treatments, excellent service and an elegant setting.
Dining options are aplenty in your neighbourhood. In addition to incredible in-villa dining experiences at Picasso Villas, restaurants that come with our recommendations include: Black Cat (a beautiful bamboo-themed venue with Mediterranean and Thai fare), Bocconcino (an elegant Italian restaurant), Siam Supper Club (a New York-style bistro with live jazz performances) and Taste Bar & Grill (fusion and Thai seafood).
