Kiana is a Southwest facing, two-story, 3-bedroom luxury villa within the acclaimed Sri Panwa resort development. The bedrooms, complete with en-suite bathrooms, and all other areas, aside from the kitchen, command dramatic, panoramic sea views. Have a massage under the outdoor sala, unwind in your private infinity-edge pool, and lose yourself in the romantic Phuket sunsets. Kiana is ideal for families, couples, and business groups who value privacy, tranquility, and the grace of nature's treasures. Though remote in feel, the bustling West Coast, numerous golf courses, wonderful restaurants, and other areas of interest, are never far off.
Service & Facilities
Villa Manager - Kiana's offsite Villa Manager, will help you make the most of your stay. She has been serving discerning customers for over a decade and she is committed to meeting your needs and expectations. Though offsite, the manager is reachable 24/7.
Housekeeping & Laundry - Kiana's onsite housekeeper cleans daily. At your request, the housekeeper can also take care of your laundry (excluding dry cleaning).
In-house Dining – The housekeeper is well skilled in Thai cooking. At your request, she can purchase ingredients at a local market or Central supermarket and prepare a wonderful multi-course meal, ideal for a romantic sunset dinner (or for those whose children make restaurants a daunting task). Western basics can also be prepared for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For parties of 10 or more, we recommend hiring Madame Rose, the proprietress of the nearby Phuket Town's "Raya" restaurant
Baby Sitting - feel free to go out for dinner, meet friends, enjoy outdoor activities, shop, etc. while leaving your children with the experienced staff. The housekeeper and her husband are excellent with children and will ensure that your children will be well looked after. A baby-sitting charge of 300 Baht per hour will apply for baby-sitting from 19:00. During any part of the day, a charge of 500 Baht per hour (in addition to the evening charge) will apply when four or more children need to be looked after, since additional resources will need to be arranged to ensure the well-being of the children. Baby-sitting charges should be made directly to the housekeeper. If the baby-sitting services are extensive, the housekeeping, laundry, and cooking may not be possible. The children are the 1st priority.

Location and Climate
Location - Kiana at Sri Panwa is situated on Cape Panwa, the picturesque Southeastern tip of Phuket island. With the many islands dotting the surrounding turquoise Andaman, Sri Panwa arguably enjoys the most spectacular panoramic sea views in Phuket. It is about a 45-minute drive from Phuket International Airport and Blue Canyon Country Club, 15 minutes to Phuket Town and Central Festival shopping mall, and 30 minutes to Nai Harn Beach, a favorite of Phuket residents and the Sri Panwa staff.
Climate - Phuket has a tropical, monsoon climate. November through March is the High Season, and considered the best time to visit, with its lower humidity and cool, ocean breezes. April through May can get very hot, but short and frequent, heavy thunder showers cool it off a bit, and are beautiful to watch coming in off the sea. The months of June, July and August, still considered the "Rainy Season", are generally quite sunny, though short, heavy rains come and go, cooling the island off. Local Thai and foreign residents generally enjoy this period the most, since the island is not very busy. September through October see the most rain during the year.
The Team
Kiana employs an offsite Villa Manager, a housekeeper / chef, and a pool and gardening maintenance person. The team is there for you, helping to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The Villa Manager, speaks English, has extensive knowledge of the island, and she can direct you to, and arrange the best places to eat, shop, and enjoy recreational activities, helping you avoid tourist trap pitfalls. The team is happy to be of service to you, and will do their best to make you want to return.
