At this fully-staffed tropical hideaway, guests want for nothing throughout their stay. Three main buildings are adjoined with walkways and stairwells. With four main master suites and two additional guest bedrooms, Chao comfortably accommodates families or groups of up to 12 people. It positions itself as a 4 bedroom (even though it has 6 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms in total) owing to the discrepancy in styling. However that is not to say with families or groups who are happy with differing standards in room amenities will not find it a great option for their vacations.
The Andaman Sea plays backdrop to an 18m infinity-style lap pool, indoor and outdoor lounging and dining facilities, and a well-equipped fitness room. With private access, via a footpath, to the rocky bay below, all guest areas of the villa experience at Chao are sea-facing and idyllic at sunset.

Away from the throngs of tourists who flock to the good life in Phuket, Chao sits on a quiet hillside, in the area known as Millionaire Mile, a haven for luxury villas and seclusion in Kamala, Phuket.
Set within a gated compound, the luxurious Waterfall Cove Estate, bordered by natural jungle on both sides and above a expansive rocky bay, the peaceful view is purely of nature: ocean, trees and cliffs.
Yet, in a matter of 10 minutes' drive to Kamala Beach, guests will find shopping, restaurants, a lovely swimming beach, and some of the most vibrant beach clubs on the island, including HQ beach lounge and Café Del Mar.
A little further to the north, and guests arrive at Bangtao and Surin Beach, for swimming, fresh seafood and surfing. Onto the Laguna area, notable restaurants include Bampot and Siam Supper Club.
Driving 20 minutes south of Chao , Patong is one of the move lively and raucous tourist destinations of Phuket. In Patong, there are some high-end restaurants, such as Acqua, as well as shopping, outdoor markets, shows, nightclubs and local bars.
The international airport is normally just a 40 to 50-minute drive away, getting to and from Baan Banyan is an uncomplicated process though it is strongly recommend owing to the not particularly logical local method for numbering and naming of streets in Phuket that villa transportation be used to arrive to the villa, at least for the first time.
