Scene
Romantic cliffside hotel with ocean views and a Thai-inspired luxe-comfort aesthetic
The Impiana Private Villas Kata Noi is an
exclusive property perched high on a cliff, with breathtaking panoramic sea views that
make up the fourth wall of every room in the place. There is no common pool
area, nor are there organized activities and games, so the atmosphere is focus on the romance and luxury of its private villas; the Impiana is ideal for a
romantic vacation or honeymoon, although families are welcome. The common
spaces are small, intimate, and luxurious, with clean-lined furnishings in muted tones, polished wood throughout, and tropical plants, as well as a great attention to detail
and personal service. There are opulent displays of orchids and Thai buddhas on
display, but, always, the views take center stage. The cozy Cigar Room is furnished with warm brown leather chairs and a humidor cabinet; the small restaurant has a similar style, with a well-stocked wine cellar behind panes of smoky
glass. A library nook is lined with leather couches and books. The
lobby grand piano provides live accompaniment at dinnertime.
Location
On a cliff with panoramic Andaman Sea views, near Patong Beach and Elephant Safaris
The Impiana Private Villas Kata Noi is
located on the cliffs above Kata Noi Beach in southern Phuket, a mile from the Kata Porpeang Market. There are a handful of other hotels, shops, and restaurants within walking distance, but the surrounding area is hilly and steep, and a car may be advisable for those with mobility issues. The
hotel operates a free, on-demand shuttle to Patong Beach (a 10-minute drive)
and Phuket town (a 30-minute drive). Kata Viewpoint and Kok Chang Safari
Elephant Trekking are just two miles from the villas. The Phuket airport is a
50-minute drive from the property. Airport transfers can be arranged for a fee.
Rooms
Glass walls with unobstructed sea views, romantic bathrooms, and private infinity pools and patios
The 11 elegant villas at the Impiana Private Villas Kata Noi are individually
decorated with elegant Thai touches, including orchids and Thai buddhas.
Each has an unobstructed, panoramic Andaman Sea view, as well as a private patio and an infinity pool overlooking the sea. Several villa bathrooms have romantic open showers with nothing but glass between guests and the sea. Spa tubs share the
spectacular vistas. Rooms have huge walk-in closets with vanity tables inside,
as well as espresso machines, safes, well-stocked minibars, iPod
docks, and flat-screen TVs with cable and DVD players; all rooms have private butler service, too. The completely private honeymoon
suite is an especially unforgettable stay. It's worth noting that some guests complain of maintenance and housekeeping issues, which disturb the elegant, serene atmosphere.
Features
Free beach and Phuket shuttles, fitness center, cigar room, fine-dining restaurant, and free breakfast
The Impiana Private Villas Kata Noi offers an on-demand shuttle to
Patong Beach and Phuket town, as well as free parking for those who drive.
There is a small fitness center with a few cardio machines and weight
equipment, and picture windows that provide natural light. The Cigar Room is a
cozy lounge furnished with brown leather chairs where guests can
enjoy a smoke, a cocktail, and the view. The Living Room, the Villas’
restaurant, serves a menu with both Asian and Western options (along with fine wine) to
live musical accompaniment, in an elegant dining room or on its sunny terrace. The hotel doesn't have a spa, but in-room spa treatments can be booked. Free breakfast is served daily.
