Review of the latest cool villa, Panorama View, on Panwa Beach – Bandara Villas Phuket
Amidst a prime location featuring only top-notch luxury hotels on Panwa Beach, Bandara Villas Phuket stands out with its unobstructed panoramic view of Panwa Beach. The picturesque memories we have of Bandara Villas are filled with awe, especially during our time lounging on the daybed, gazing at the sea blending into the horizon. A moment later, we would jump into our private swimming pool, soaking in the water while enjoying the breathtaking view of the crystal-clear blue sea against the backdrop of the white sandy beach. This is a special retreat that we will remember for many years to come.
Bandara Villas Phuket features private villas built on a high hill, offering unobstructed sea views. The accommodation consists of only a few villas, providing a tranquil and private atmosphere. Upon stepping out of the villa and following the staircase, one can reach the beach, restaurants, and swimming pool. For those who prefer not to walk, there is also an elevator available for convenience.
The Panoramic Duplex Pool Villa, often referred to as the Iconic villa at Bandara Villas Phuket, is truly a breathtaking experience from the moment you open the door. The immediate view is the expansive Andaman Sea, with yachts gracefully navigating the waves and the moody skies above. This level is designed as a living space, complete with a daybed, complimentary set, swimming pool, and a bathroom. The staircase on the side leads to the lower level, which serves as the bedroom area, featuring a bathtub and another bathroom designed for functionality. The entire space spans 100 square meters, with a generously sized romantic pool suitable for two people.
The Panoramic Pool Villa, spanning 60 square meters, is a compact yet fully equipped space. It includes a private pool, a daybed, and a bed strategically positioned for enjoying the sea view while lying down. Whether you prefer to relax on the bed or take a stroll down to the pool, the Panoramic Pool Villa offers a condensed version of luxury living. The main distinction is that it doesn’t have the two-level layout found in the Panoramic Duplex Pool Villa.
During the afternoon, a complimentary High Tea is served for guests staying in the villa zone at Bandara Villas Phuket. The High Tea includes local Phuket delicacies that are not commonly found elsewhere. It is accompanied by fragrant floral tea. Each dessert is beautifully presented and perfect for capturing photos, but the key highlight is the delicious taste and meticulous craftsmanship. Every piece is a delightful experience. A special addition is the jackfruit sticky rice, and Oh-Aew, a traditional Phuket dessert made from ripe watermelon. It’s peculiar that there’s no banana flavor in Oh-Aew, as it is made from ripe watermelon, but what makes it extraordinary here is the inclusion of lychee, adding a refreshing touch to counter the heat. It’s truly impressive and captivating.
Nearby, there is a newly opened cafe called Flamingo, just a short walk along the beach from Bandara Villas Phuket. Alternatively, you can request a buggy ride for convenience. This open-air cafe offers a comfortable atmosphere by the sea. It is located in front of Bandara Beach Phuket, which is part of the same hotel group. Flamingo Cafe follows a tropical rustic style, providing all-day dining with a lunch menu served a la carte. In the evening, you can enjoy a dinner under the candlelight or simply relax with drinks. The cafe, adorned with the iconic flamingo symbol, adds a playful touch with pink flamingo details in its decoration. A recommended beverage is the Mango Flamingo, a refreshing and delightful choice that might make you want to order a second glass.
“The recommended dishes are the delicious flat noodles with crab curry and cha phlu leaves, as well as the home-style turmeric soup with free-range chicken.
The sea in the Panwa zone is calm and tranquil, providing a serene and undisturbed atmosphere. The sandy beach is wide and long, perfect for leisurely water activities.
You can arrange a special dinner table for the occasion. The menu we had for dinner today includes new dishes from Flamingo, namely Seared Tuna and Tiger Prawn Caponata, both made with fresh and high-quality ingredients.
Having arrived at Flamingo, I took a quick peek at the accommodations of Bandara Beach Phuket, which is in the same location. It’s a seaside accommodation with budget-friendly prices. I must say that the swimming pool with a beautiful view is equally impressive as the one at Bandara Villas. The rooms are compact and decorated with a sea theme, featuring white, blue, and orange tones. There’s also a fitness center available here. It seems like a suitable option for those seeking high-quality accommodation at an affordable price right by the sea.
For those who are not morning persons and tend to skip breakfast at hotels, I have to say you’re missing out, especially at Bandara Villas. The breakfast there is truly fantastic – delicious and extremely diverse. It is served a la carte, with not overly large portions so that guests can try various dishes. We ordered quite a bit, but ended up finishing everything. In fact, there are even more options available. I highly recommend trying their three standout dishes: fish porridge, Bak Kut Teh, and stir-fried noodles with crab. These three dishes are absolute must-tries.
The Line will be a mini-buffet, not overly spacious, but densely packed with quality. The dining area, named Samudra, offers a pleasant atmosphere where you can enjoy your meal while taking in the delightful sea view – truly a joyful experience.
