Blond wood and Scandi silhouettes take a beach vacation at this modern villa on Phuket’s Natai Beach. The look is all pared-down cool, but the cabin-in-Sweden vibe is rendered in finishes like Burmese teak, and the layout is designed for indoor-outdoor living. This fully staffed retreat is steps from the soft sand and sunset views from Natai Beach. 

Open the glass walls to connect the terrace with an open-concept great room that overlooks the beach. Teak paneling and a vaulted ceiling nod to traditional Thai homes, while an arc lamp and mid-century-inspired dining chairs bring contemporary cool to the space. There’s a fully equipped kitchen in the great room and a professional kitchen overseen by the villa’s chef.  

Once you step off the terrace, you’re practically on the sand of Natai Beach—just cross under the trees and on the shore. Swim and snorkel off the beach, then walk down the sand for lunch at an oceanfront restaurant or head into the small town nearby for a choice of more eateries.
