Life on the edge… it’s the most apt description for the Villa Amanzi, a luxurious hillside haven, located in Phuket, Thailand. 

Designed by Origin Vision, this architectural gem makes full use of its tropical paradise setting, commanding picture perfect views over the Andaman Sea.

Nestled in a cascading, west facing ravine, the hero of this breathtaking design is the natural rock from which the property itself springs to life. 

The steep contour of the hill’s rock face dominates at every juncture, creating a natural wall on the two lower levels, while the upper bedroom wing rests upon it forming a bridge under which the living space completely opens on to the gardens.

The pièce de résistance is the cantilevered infinity pool, which is the dazzling focal point of the Villa Amanzi, whose name itself means "water" in Zulu. At 15m long, it extends beyond the cliff and into the air, making one look as if they are swimming into the horizon. 

A visual masterpiece in every sense of the word, the three-storey, six bedroom oasis delivers luxury in spades, celebrating the fusion between rock, view and structure.
