Patio Duplex
About Patio Duplex
Offering luxurious leisure, the three-bedroom Patio Duplex residences in Malaiwana estate are simply decadent. Furnished with restrained elegance, these classy holiday homes offer all facilities to make your island vacation memorable.
Indoor-outdoor living is exemplified owing to the full-length glass doors that open up to reveal a mesmerising pool beyond. These villas are special due to their extensive use of outdoor areas for lounge seating. Enjoy a barbecue, catch a tan, shoot some hoops, or just sit back and enjoy the marvellous sunsets - the outdoor deck is the focal area of these residences.
Enjoy lovely partial sea views from their coveted hillside location at Naithon Beach or just walk down to the beach itself to get up, close and personal with the surf. The residences are built over two levels, with three bedrooms located upstairs and the fourth doubling up as a multi-purpose room.
Malaiwana is only 20-minutes away from Phuket Airport and within easy reach of several of Phuket’s top sights and leisure activities, including golf, spas and yacht charters. Throughout your stay, a team of staff including a talented Thai chef and an English-speaking manager will ensure your every need is catered to within the estate and beyond.
Layout
The Patio Duplex residences occupy the ground and first floors of the exclusive three-storey apartment buildings at Malaiwana. In each Patio Duplex, a central staircase connects three bedrooms on the upper floor to the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors in the living room open onto the pool terrace, and a paved deck with garden views lies beyond. The Master and Mini Master suites on the top floor are sea-facing and enjoy lovely views from their balconies.
Living Areas
Indoor living
The open-plan living room is bright due to the abundance of natural light that flows in. It seamlessly flows into the dining area and kitchen, making it the social hub of the villa. Sliding glass doors open onto the pool terrace. A sleek and modern kitchen is smartly tucked into the rear of the dining room, where your personal chef prepares tempting treats and delicious Thai fare. Pleasing tropical views can be enjoyed from the plush sofas in the living room or elevated to partial sea views from the master bedrooms upstairs.
Outdoor living
What sets the Patio Duplex apart is the feel of being surrounded by nature. With the sea twinkling beyond tropical greenery and lush garden views, these holiday homes offer visual respite to city dwellers. Enjoy these views from the pool terrace or a lovely seating area next to it. A step down, the vast patio is lined with lounge seating, ideal for sunset cocktails or a game of basketball. Meanwhile, the master suites upstairs boast soulful views from their balconies.
Bedrooms
Master Suite
The Master Suite is located on the upper floor and has a lovely balcony with partial sea views.

Dining
With its delicious mix of fragrant, spicy, sour, sweet and salty flavours, Thai cuisine is celebrated as one of the world’s best, and at the Residences at Malaiwana a full-time chef is on hand to take you on a journey of epicurean discovery.
As well as favourites such as tom yum goong (hot and sour, spicy prawn soup) and phad Thai goong yang (stir-fried rice noodle with tamarind sauce and grilled prawns), a suggestion menu offers some regional Thai specialties and introduces you to the extra fiery tastes of the South. A choice of western dishes and breakfast sets are also available, and the chef will accommodate special requests and dietary restrictions as far as possible – as well as adjusting spice levels to suit your preferences.
Meals are planned with the manager or chef in advance and grocery shopping is taken care of by the villa staff, who know their way around the markets and will source the best and freshest ingredients. Groceries are charged at cost plus a 20% handling fee and a government tax, with receipts provided by the staff.
