Touring One of the Most Expensive Homes in THAILAND!
(lively music) - Surrounded by a jungle landscape lies Yamu One, an iconic property located in one of Phuket's most exclusive communities. We had the opportunity to stay in this home over the course of four days and immerse ourselves in the zen atmosphere of the home and surrounding landscape. It doesn't get much better. From the incredible staff and hospitality to the stunning Thai architecture and design. How is this real? What this property offers is truly special.
And once again, I wanna welcome all of you to Phuket, Thailand. (gentle music) (birds chirping) Arriving at Yamu One is a special experience. The zen tone is set as you're serenaded by birds hidden in the lush landscape, filled with trees and exotic plants that line the road leading you to the driveway of this incredible estate. (gentle music) (birds chirping) Welcome to Yamu One. We are beyond excited for this tour and really happy to welcome you to Phuket, Thailand. Now, this property is situated on this amazing gated community that we'll talk about later.
And this driveway brings you to this point and takes you up to the home. The property itself is beautifully landscaped, manicured grounds, mature trees. There's actually a pathway here that takes you all the way down to the beach.
And coming to this side, you can see that driveway brings you up to this cobblestone landing and it continues to the lower level, where we have staff access for catering and all the service staff comes through this section and goes down to the lower level. Now, coming to this point, you can really get a good look at this property. Beautiful Thai-inspired modern architecture.
I love this pitch roof design that gives you this cathedral feel. Then, we have the metal screens in front of sliding glass doors and windows, overhangs. It has a really light contemporary feel. And to complement that, we also have reflection pools on each side, with dark tiling and these sculptures in the center, really setting that zen, calming tone as you walk into this home. Now, this entry is also very grand.
Look at the ceiling height. In fact, this high volume actually continues to the interior where we have an amazing living room. And when we arrived here a few days ago, staff welcomed us at this point, really giving that welcoming Thai hospitality, which we were very excited about. Now, we also have these stone steps, beautiful pattern on the floors. You can see these concrete columns with metal screens.
And it basically brings you to this point where we have the grand entry, beautiful solid wood door. All these picture frames. And now, let's go inside. The foyer of this property is so impressive and voluminous. We have great natural light coming in. Same vault ceiling design is also here.
Beautiful natural stone floors with this unique pattern. And coming back to the front door again is this beautiful solid wood design, picture windows on each side. And this entire section here is actually steel frame, so I wanted to point that out. Now, going into the details here, we have beautiful textured walls for some additional warmth And to create some separation between the living room and the foyer, they came up with this metal screen design that runs up all the way to the ceiling, creating some separation, but allowing natural light to travel. And Cody, let's head this way where we have this insane grand living room. I mean, what a space.
Take it all in. We have the seating section right in the center. Massive glass frame and sliding glass doors seamlessly opening up to the pool terrace and to these views. Again, we are beyond excited to tour this property. And now, let's cover the specs of this gorgeous home.
We have 10 bedrooms, 10+ bathrooms, 41,387 square feet of interior space. So, we have a lot of different rooms and areas to cover. Situated on 2.71 acres, which is arguably
one of the most important aspects of this home, given the fact that the property is in a very exotic location. On the market for $18 million. And I wanna give big thanks to the listing agent, Felix Desjardins, for making this tour possible.
And more information about this amazing property will be in the description of this video. Make sure to check it out. And once again, welcome to your amazing living room. We have the seating area here with a coffee table, beautiful warm textures. And just like the entry, they carried out the same natural stone floors also here.
And in fact, it continues to this wall where we have this really unique pattern, giving additional dimension to the space. But obviously, this living room is all about this amazing volume and the views. You have wood panel ceilings with mood lighting. Then, we have these concrete columns with tapered tops, framing the seating area here.
Obviously, the entire space seamlessly opens up to the pool deck, which will cover later. I mean, what an impressive space, huh? - [Cody] It's super impressive. And not to like break the seriousness or anything but those columns you just pointed out, they kind of remind me of pencils, the way they taper into the ceiling. - I guess they do look like pencils poking through the roof. They- - Yeah, it's pretty cool.
- They do a good job framing the seating area here and just really, really nice space. But Cody, you know what we gotta do? We gotta flow everybody to the next room, which is the TV lounge. And it starts on this side. We have pocket doors here if you wanna seal off this section. And just like the living room, this space is also very warm, cozy, seating section, Unique coffee table. Cove lighting above. And we have three different exposures here, two sides open up to the front of the home with Juliet balconies.
And just like the rest of the main level, we also have sliding glass doors here, taking you to the pool deck. Really nice space. TV, built-ins. We haven't had a chance to use this room, but I hope we get to soon. - [Cody] Yeah, we've only been here for like two days now and there's so many living spaces in this house, so we've got some work to do. - Or 40,000 square feet of interior space.
We have 10 bedrooms, 10 plus bathrooms, so many different areas to cover. We're gonna have to get creative, go through all these spaces quickly. But yeah, it's another room. In fact, Cody, let's take everybody to the other side. So now so far, we covered the center volume, the right wing. Now, we're going to the left wing, which is where we have the kitchen and the dining area.
Again, the center volume is phenomenal, views are incredible. And going to the other side, we have another pocket door here. Sealing off this section. And welcome to the dining area and the kitchen.
This is a space that we actually use a lot. You have a massive dining table here that sits 16, with a light fixture above and cove lighting. Just like the rest of the main level, we have the sliding glass doors, flooding the space with natural light. And this is really where we spend most of our times having breakfast, lunch, and dinners. Staff here is so welcoming and they're fantastic. Food has been incredible.
It's been a joy staying here, working here, and being part of this estate. I have absolutely no complaints. It puts a smile on my face talking about our like lunch and dinner experiences. - [Cody] I was gonna say the same thing. I have zero complaints and this is my first time in Thailand too. And the biggest thing that shocked- - It's also your first time in Asia.
- [Cody] First time in Asia as well. And the biggest thing that shocked me is how good the fruit is. They give us mangoes at every single meal and those are the best things I've ever tasted. - Everything just tastes so different and so rich in flavor. - [Cody] Yeah. - But regardless, this is a fantastic area and I just love how conveniently located this section is.
You flow to the pool deck. You have access to the staircase there. It has a nice flow to it. Now, the next space we wanna talk about is the show kitchen. I'm saying show kitchen because behind that door right there, there's actually a service kitchen where the staff prepares all the food for us.
And this kitchen is here more as a little bar area or service area for us to grab some food. But regardless, it is designed very nicely. You have modern cabinetry, island with waterfall edges, Your induction cooktop, sink, cabinets on the back with some built-ins. And it's just a really nice convenient setup. Again, all the service staff is on the back, conveniently located to your dining area. And if we go this way, there is a powder bathroom to our left, with its own vanity and separate water closet.
And this is the powder bathroom that serves the main level. And if we open up this door, it gives you access to a staircase that takes you down to the two levels that are below us. Now, this is a really important section because this home consists of three levels.
We're currently on the top floor, where we have the common spaces. Level below us is where we have most of the guest suites and the lower level features some bedrooms, as well as entertainment areas. Like being here, enjoying the Thai culture, enjoying these views, and getting a chance to live, stay in this amazing home, have been nothing short of spectacular. (gentle music) The pool deck is the focal point of this amazing property. And what a space to entertain. Look at our views.
The scale of the pool and all the outdoor spaces within, we got a lot to cover. Now, Cody is towards the house on the elevated section and we have natural stone floors throughout, lounging beds, and right in the center, we have the infinity edge pool. In fact, Cody, let's perfectly frame up. Now, I wanna mention something. We're shooting this episode at the end of May, so it's a little hot right now.
So, you may see us sweating a little bit. So, I want to give everybody heads up. But regardless, what an incredible space to enjoy. Look at this infinity edge pool, 24 meters long, eight meters wide, and the tiling within the pool is actually all lava rock.
So you have this dark, earthy texture that makes the pool even more contemporary. And Cody lets actually get a closeup. It is like a pure glass right now and if you go low enough, it actually blends with the sea, which is fantastic. And we have a really nice deck on the other side too.
And what we're looking at here is Phang Nga Bay. Yesterday was really, really sunny, so we had some fantastic shots. And today's a little bit cloudy. You have all these mountains on the back.
It actually opens up at Andaman Sea, and then leads to the Indian Ocean. And between the landscaping, the privacy, this pool, you feel like you're in a resort. - [Cody] It's so beautiful. And like you said earlier, the reflections is so pretty. And the clouds and the islands in the back, it doesn't look real, but it is. - It's breathtaking.
- [Cody] It really is, without a doubt. - Now, Cody, let's continue our tour. We have so much more to see.
Additional lounging beds, palm trees. To our left, we have the dining room and the kitchen opening up. And let's come over here. Outdoor barbecue area.
The structure here houses outdoor shower to the left, pool bathroom to the right. And I also really like how the landscaping grows around it. Makes it nicely blend in. And Cody, can we get a close up? I'm currently standing on this glass flooring, which is essentially a massive skylight, bringing natural light to the level below us.
There is also another one of these on the other side. We'll talk about this detail later. Let's take everybody to this side. This is an outdoor staircase that takes you down to the level below us again. And lastly, can we push back a little bit. Look at this view.
Seriously, the pool, lounging decks, the views, unreal. - [Cody] Unreal. If those pool- - Unreal. - [Cody] Unreal. If those pool chairs weren't there, it would look like this infinity pool goes straight out into the bay.
- Incredible. Not often at our shoots do we get to experience the amenities these homes have to offer. But with this home, we simply couldn't resist. After a long day of shooting, we got a chance to enjoy the pool ourselves. - [Cody] Please don't splash the camera. - Is this good? This pool is incredible.
- And it's completely salt water. - It's perfect temperature. (upbeat music) (water splashing) - Who splashed this lens? There's like two dots on it. Our time here has been full with so many different activities and meaningful things that we've done, and I'm just really excited.
I'm gonna keep enjoying this pool. I hope you guys are enjoying this video and I'll see you guys out there. - Is it vertical or horizontal? - It's horizontal. - A setting like this where you have a massive infinity pool all to yourself is rare to come by, and one of many unique offerings of Yamu One. All right, let's continue our tour. Now, we have this deck taking us to the section that's in front of the pool.
To our left, we have the outdoor dining pavilion that we will cover later. And you arrive to this point and what a space to entertain. How is this all real? Reflection pool, lounging beds. And then, we have the pool to the other side. And in fact, Cody, let's pan towards the house for a second.
I wanna talk about its architecture. We saw these metal screens on the exterior. They have it on this side as well, this peaked roof design.
How the house features this Thai inspiration. And it looks deceiving from this angle. You think it's just a nice one story home. We have two massive levels below us and in fact, what I'm about to explain helps it tie all together. So you see the gap right there between the glass section here and the pool? - [Cody] Yeah. - So, this is an infinity edge pool and that's a waterfall wall that goes down to two levels below us.
So, it's this really dramatic architectural detail that we will see on the guest level as well as the lower level. I cannot believe they came up with a design like this. Essentially what they did is this is a massive retaining wall holding up the first floor of this home, and they built the second and third floors on this side. So, it's like a separation point in a way. And they architecturally blended all these interesting details, made it into one.
Between the house, its architecture, these views, I mean just what an amazing property to entertain and spend time in. Now, Cody, let's take everybody to this side. They have water features, water elements throughout the property or in as many spaces as possible. Essentially, they're trying to bring this calming element to the home, because you can hear it everywhere you go. And it was another way for them to extend it to this side where you can just sit down, enjoy a cocktail, enjoy your coffee, read a book, and be one with the nature.
Just enjoy being outdoors, because this is really what this property is about. Now, we're not done with this pool deck because to our right, we have that amazing outdoor dining area. It's nice to have a dedicated space like this for you to enjoy with your friends, family. It's also set back from the house.
It sets a nice intention for your dining experience. We have a solid wood table here in the center that sits nine people, beautiful lazy Susan. Again, the entire section is covered.
We have ceiling fan here, concrete columns. It gets a great breeze. And what I like about this space is the fact that once you're done dining or you wanna take a little break, you walk to this section and you have a nice grass pad with glass railing for you to just take in these views and have a little break, have a little moment to yourself.
And from this angle, we get a really unique perspective of the property and the rest of the neighborhood. So if you look down, that's all part of your home, 2.7 acres, grounds are beautifully manicured and tapered. And then, the beach access is right there. That's Yamu Beach. If you look at this entire neighborhood, it's called Cape Yamu, consists around 26 to 27 homes, all massive estates.
Yamu One being one of the most lavish and biggest ones. And you have this beautiful cove. And the resort to our right is COMO Point Yamu, which is an amazing five star resort. So if you have guests, additional family of friends, you can actually have them stay over there. Not that you will need it because you have 10 bedrooms here, but this is a really cool spot to again take in the outdoors one more time.
And you may assume we're done with the pool deck and the main level, we are not. We still have one more space to see. When you wanna get away from everything and enjoy the peace and serenity this property offers, this is where you come. You take this walkway, get up on this deck with a reflection pool around it. Water feature to our left. And it's a moment for you to sit down, relax, reflect, enjoy the outdoors and enjoy these breathtaking views.
I mean this is a stunning property and it still has so much to offer. (serene music) (water glugging) Welcome to the guest level, everyone. We have this long walkway taking us to the six guest suites that we have on this level. And even at this point off of the entry, they're really setting that relaxing tone before you go to your bedroom. To our right, we have this beautiful reflection pool. They use the same lava rock tiles.
And then, we have the floating steps taking us to the detached guest home, which is on the other side. We'll cover that later. Beautiful ceiling pattern here. And then going to the other side, we have more floating steps, nice built-in seating area. And remember, the skylights that we pointed out at the pool deck. Well, these are the skylights bringing natural light to this level. So, it's a really nice architectural touch and a beautiful entryway to the guest suites.
Now, follow me this way. To our left, we have the outdoor staircase taking you back up to the pool deck and coming this way, another reflection pool. Again, it's all about setting the tone. And then, you come to this point where we have five guest suites to our right. But more importantly to my right now or to your left, we have the first primary bedroom suite. Let's go in.
Off of this entry, we have beautiful dark hardwood floors. Room is extremely spacious, gets great natural light. And right in the center, we have this platform set up, king size bed, cove lighting above. Definitely great energy in this room. And then, you take these steps, go to the other side.
They use the platform and created this little built-in seating area. There's also a pop-up TV here. And even more importantly, the entire room opens up to a beautiful private balcony where you can really enjoy and appreciate these views. Now keep in mind, this property has 10 bedrooms in total, four of them being primary bedroom suites. And we're all about bringing the experience to all of you. That's why we decided that we should share some of these primary bedrooms, so you can hear our team's thoughts.
In fact, the room that we're sitting in right now is Cody's. Cody, I'm gonna grab the camera from you- - [Cody] All right. - [Enes] So everybody can hear what do you have to say about this room.
- Yeah, so this is my bedroom for the past couple of days and it's pretty sick. Come on up this way. We've got my bed here. It has incredible views over the bay. The sunrises every morning have been awesome. Most of the time, you would close the blinds at night. I keep 'em wide open because I want that sun to hit me in the morning.
It's been really nice. We have super cool cove lighting here. Art on both sides of the walls. We've got a desk area. This is also doubled as kind of like our gear storage.
So, there's some gear back in the closet. We also have our sixth camera right here. This is our vlog camera. We've been doing a lot of vlogs lately on the channel. If you haven't seen, we did a whole vlog documentary in Dubai.
So if you haven't checked that out, please go check it out, like, subscribe, all of that. But we're basically gonna be doing the same thing over this entire Thailand trip. We've got another property after this. We're going to Bangkok following that.
We're gonna be there for a couple of days. It's gonna be super exciting. So, that's pretty much the bedroom. I'm gonna get this back. We gotta go to the bathroom.
- There you go. I mean you guys heard Cody's thoughts. Not to plug our vlogs, but yes, you're gonna see the entire behind the scenes of this trip.
It's actually a long trip. A lot's gonna happen. I hope you guys enjoy those videos as well. And now, let's keep going this way. We have a really spacious walk-in closet here.
Currently, our gear storage. But I'm gonna flow everybody straight to the bathroom, which is amazing. It's spacious, gets great natural light, has a fantastic flow.
And right in the center, we have this beautiful vanity design with two marble sinks. It's actually textured on the outside. You have mirrors, ceiling mount light fixtures. Of course, all the toiletries. Everything is cleaned and organized every single day thanks to our incredible staff. And then on the other side, we have this sunken jetted tub, massive picture windows, incredible zen serene views.
Again, look at the natural light that we're getting in this bathroom. Insane. And then, you flow this way to a really nice semi-open walk-in shower with two sets of fixtures. We have the first one here. Second one on this side.
Rain heads, beautiful natural stone with some textured details and even more importantly, the entire roof above us, it's all glass so you are just in tune with your surroundings. - [Cody] I would say my favorite part about it is the glass roof. Like last night, I was showering and there were geckos like crawling around above. Rain or shine is just like a super cool view and you're just immersed in the nature of Thailand. - Well said, absolutely. There's something beautiful about seeing the sky above you as you shower.
Fantastic space. Cody, let's jump to the other side so we can show everyone the separate water closet, which is right here. There's a nice frosted glass door. And over on this side, we have travertine floors, travertine niche, bidet, toilet.
Beautiful bathroom in a bedroom suite. But now, I want to take everybody back to the hallway. In front of us is the staircase that takes you down to the lower level.
You can actually enjoy the sea views from this angle. And the rest of the walkway takes you to the main hallway that connects to the remaining five bedroom suites. But even more importantly, this is where we have the crazy waterfall wall. I mean look at this space for a second. So right there is the main infinity edge pool that we saw earlier.
That's the glass roof. And this wall basically cascades down all the way to the lower level, where we have another reflection pool. And you get to hear this tranquil sound as you go to your bedroom.
It's crazy that this is a residential property. How is this real? - [Cody] It's wild. And like you said, you hear it when you're going to your bedrooms, but also every night, you just have that subtle little waterfall in the background. It's like a lullaby. It's beautiful. - It is beautiful, I agree.
It's like I wonder why we all sleep so well here, you know? - Yeah, literally. - And what a crazy detail and what a clever way to take advantage of something that your house is gonna have anyways and turn it into another feature and benefit the rest of the property. - [Cody] Exactly.
- Super smart. Big credit to the design team and the architects. They've done a phenomenal job. And now continuing this way, we have the steps taking us down to this level and let's continue our tour with the second guest suite. I like that each one of the guest suites are so spacious. They all get great natural light and even better, they're all facing the sea.
Now, this one has two single beds. They're kind of pushed to the center, because we have a desk set up here. Great ceiling height. And on this side, you can see these recessed in shelves and a really nice seating area. And I love the pop of color here. Beautiful textured walls.
Ceiling mount TV. And Cody, let's take everybody to the other side, your built-in cabinetry. And even better, this desk setup creates some separation between the bed.
And also while you're working in this room, you're not compromising from these views. You get to enjoy it straight from your chair. And even better, you have sliding glass doors opening up to a private balcony, where you can just take in the nature around you.
Fantastic. Now, I wanna take everybody to the other side. This is where we have the full bathroom. We have the floating vanity here with a stone countertop, two sinks, stonewall with mosaic details.
And to my right, we have the built-in tub, which is also your walk-in shower thanks to the rain head. And then on this side, we have the separate water closet here. Definitely a really nice bathroom. Now going back to the bedroom, I wanna actually take everybody to the side. We have four guest suites that are in the center of this level. So, this is the first one and the first two are actually joined together.
And through this door, you can actually walk straight to the second guest suite, which is also very spacious. This one actually comes with a king-sized bed. But even better, look at the views you get from your bedroom. I feel like I can touch the sea, I can touch the surrounding landscape and it just comes in your room, which is so voluminous, again.
Your king size bed, textured back wall, I believe Erman is staying in this room. - [Cody] What do you think of your room? - My room is incredible. I love my room. My view is great. My bed is great. My pillows are amazing. I love my room. I love my room.
- It's just a really nice space. Cody actually come this way. Built in cabinetry, really like these brass handles. Your TV, additional storage space. And of course, this room also comes with a full bathroom. Single vanity with natural stone countertops, sink, chrome fixture, nice linear mirror.
And we have the toilet on this side. And Cody, can you pan to the other side? - [Cody] Ah. - It goes straight into the walk-in shower and there's actually a massive picture window here. So, you can enjoy the views straight from your shower, which is all natural stone. Beautiful niche.
And Cody, why don't you go back to the other side. Like we said earlier, we have 10 bedrooms in total, which will take forever to tour. So the next few bedroom suites, let's go have a quick look. Guest suite number four comes with a cozy king size bed.
Let's not forget the views and the Juliet balcony. And don't worry, you can still see the sea straight from your shower. See what I did there? (Cody laughing) - [Cody] That was good. Lastly, this beautiful vanity 'cause we love you.
Guest suite number five. And if you want to get some work done, we got the desk for you. Of course, you're still the cool kid if you stay in this room 'cause you have the seating area and it's pretty comfortable. And if one bed is not enough for you, don't worry.
We have the second one on the other side. And for your comfort, I tried both of them. They're really good. (lively music) So far, we've covered five guest suites. Now, we're gonna take these steps, go to the right wing so we can check out the sixth bedroom suite, which happens to be the second primary bedroom. And even more importantly, this is where I stay.
Let's go in. So, the layout of this bedroom is pretty similar to the first primary bedroom that we toured earlier. Again, dark hardwood floors, spacious room, king size bed. And I really like that we have this built-in platform, keeping the bed right in the center of the room. And it's not an additional furniture that they brought in, it's part of the room, which is really nice.
And again, they took advantage of it, created this built in seating area, which is perfect for your morning coffee. When you're wearing your robe, you just wanna sit down, relax. You have that seamless connection to a private balcony. And I don't wanna say that my room is better than Cody's, but this happens to have a little bit more unobstructed views, where you can enjoy the sea, enjoy your grounds, this view and it just comes into a room.
This is what you wake up to every single morning, which is great. And then coming to this side, your secondary staircase basically brings you up to the platform between the cove lighting, mood lighting, around, textured walls. These little art niches. Room has a lot of character to it.
Pop up TV, of course. And Cody, I need you to bring everybody to the side. I think this is a really important element and I want to cover it as much as possible. So instead of tucking the desk or the office section to a corner, which by the way this room actually has a corner office.
They brought the desk to the center of the room, which is great because I end up spending a lot of time working in my bedroom. So, it's nice that I can still enjoy the views. I can still be part of the action within the room rather than being tucked to the corner. This is one of my favorite details.
And before we go to the bathroom, I'm gonna actually walk everybody to the walk-in closet. Again, your makeup area or your secondary desk. Beautiful woodwork, shelving. Everything is clean, nicely organized. You have more hanger space here and in case, you're wandering where's all my stuff, I did a little cleanup- - [Cody] There we go.
- Before the tour, it's all here. And it's been honestly great staying in this room. There's something exciting about having a room that's so big, warm, that has a different character. It just makes you happy. - [Cody] I agree. - So it just, it's super cool.
All right, now follow me this way. Let's go straight into the bathroom. Just like Cody's, it has roughly the same layout but I just think it has a little bit better views. - [Cody] Oh. - We have the vanity here.
Natural stone countertops. Again, marble vessel sinks. And we have these two mirrors which are also medicine cabinets. Another little secret, all my stuff is in here. - [Cody] There you go.
- And we have this beautiful jetted tub and I mean look at the views. It's also nice that it's sunken. So when you're in it, no one can see you but you still get to enjoy the views. And even better, you have the separate, different zones. Behind Cody is actually the water closet. And going to the other side, we have the open shower with two rain heads, glass roof above us, beautiful natural stone tile.
And Cody, can we actually hit it? - [Cody] Yeah. - It has a motorized cover if you want some additional privacy. Obviously, Cody and I have been leaving it all open. We love natural light, but this is great. What a shower. I mean I've been just loving the fact that it's open.
You come in here, turn your rain heads on. When you're done, you just walk back to the bathroom, get ready for your day. And on top of that, you get to enjoy these views every single day. Now, we have a lot to cover when it comes interior square footage, but since we're enjoying these views, let's go outside, see what this property has to offer. (gentle music) Before we see the rest of the home, we need to take a second to talk about our team's experience at Yamu One.
Staying at a home on the waters edge in Phuket is one thing, but combined with the hospitality, service, and meals of Yamu One, we could have not asked for anything more. As our first time in Thailand, we were all excited to try the authentic cuisine and the staff delivered beyond our expectations. (ceremonious music) (pan sizzling) Everything's super light, super vibrant.
Obviously, stuff is fresh. It's like every time we eat something like unprocessed, I'm looking at Cody to get his reaction. He is like, "Is the bell pepper is supposed to taste like this?" He is like he is just like he's rediscovering food again in his life.
From the incredible breakfast every morning to lunches with fresh organic ingredients to delicious dinners. - Oh my god. - Usually. - Mm, man. - The staff's attention to detail rival that of a high-end restaurant.
If this is how we're gonna eat the next seven days, I think it's gonna really suck to leave this place. - So good. (serene music) - We also traveled to Thailand during its rainy season, which allowed us to see the home in a different light. (rain pattering) (air whooshing) The seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living made the sound of the rain so peaceful and tranquil. (serene music) The walls of glass allowed you to be connected to the surrounding landscape, while still being indoors. All of these elements combined brought out a unique side of this property we were lucky to have experienced.
(serene music) If we count this level, this property's technically four levels. We have a really nice outdoor seating area here that's covered with its own kitchen. So, it's a perfect spot for you to just sit down, relax, enjoy your coffee before you hit the grounds. Now, the property itself is situated on little over 2.7 acres,
so we got a lot to cover. And then, you have this main walkway that picks you up from the guest house and it takes you all the way to the beach. And look how beautiful, serene this setting is. And on top of that, we decided to change our outfits since we were touring the grounds and walking all the way to the beach. In fact, I took it a step further, even lost the shoes so we can bring this immersive experience to all of you. - [Cody] You're bold for the no shoes.
I couldn't do it. The gravel's a little too sharp for me. - I hear you. It's actually fine for me. And I mean we're in Thailand, you know, we gotta embrace the culture. We gotta embrace the energy and what's better to do than just walking around barefoot and just enjoying the outdoors, you know? - [Cody] Fair enough. - All right, now let's continue.
We got so many different areas, zones to see. This property is landscaped so nicely. We have all these mature trees, palm trees, green grass. And this is the walkway that I talked about on the exterior, picking you up from the front of the home and taking you all the way to the beach as well. And then, I'm gonna transition to the grass area here.
And I also really appreciate how they maximize the property and created so many different outdoor seating areas, zones for you to hang out, relax, and make the best of this space. In fact, we're at one of those spots right now. There's a really cool seating area here. In fact, I'm just gonna enjoy it. Look at our view.
Sea right in front of us, rest of your grounds. Beautifully tapered, manicured spaces. How does this feel? - [Cody] It's so beautiful. Honestly, before we leave, I think I need to have a cup of coffee in the morning right there. - You definitely, definitely should. Now, let's go this way.
More areas to see. In fact, I'm gonna go back to the main walkway right here. It's so cool for you to just leave your property, walk to the ground and just wander around. I mean it's like you don't even have to have an agenda- - [Cody] Exactly. - When you have a space like this.
Now, we are looking towards the left side of the lot and they have some rock formation there. It's actually a manmade retaining wall. They just wanted to add up to the character. All these trees, this is really where you feel like this is a massive property.
I mean 2.7 acres. What do you think so far? - [Cody] So far, it's incredible. I mean the walk down here, like you said, is so serene. I love the fact that they've segmented all these little levels, like I can imagine just all of the seating areas you can put in different places. And they have the sculptures up the hill. It's beautiful how they can landscape this.
- Now, this is your first time in Thailand. - [Cody] It is. - First time in Asia. - [Cody] Yep. - Now, that you're experiencing the culture, the weather, landscape, properties, all these things coming together, how has it been for you to just be here and take in this new landscape? - [Cody] Honestly, it's surpassed all my expectations.
Like the hospitality just from everybody from the airport to the staff at the home, it's been phenomenal. The food is incredible. I know we talked about that earlier too.
- We talked about it throughout the tour. - [Cody] Throughout the entire tour. And just the views. I can't get over all these islands that are different distances away, it just looks like artwork.
I know I'm repeating myself but it's so beautiful. - It is beautiful. And luckily, we still have more to see. Come on, follow me this way.
Let's continue with the rest of the grounds. It literally rained about an hour ago, so we are just being cautious right now since the grounds are a little bit wet. But regardless, we still have a lot to cover, a lot to show. Now, you can really see the lower section of the grounds. And to our left, we have a beach house. Essentially a really nice indoor seating area that's close to the beach with its own pool.
We're gonna tour that in a second, but now let's go down there. Walking around makes you feel like you're in a resort, but this is a private residence. But when you think about it, you have 10 bedrooms, all that indoor and outdoor square footage, this massive plot, so much privacy, beach access, pools, water features, I mean that's technically having your own resort for your privacy, which is fantastic. And from this angle, you can really get a scale of the property and the landscaping. Before I talk about the details up there, we also have a putting green here. That's the bunker section.
Perfect place for you to practice your chip ins. And the property is right behind me. You can see most of the bedrooms, that top deck.
And apparently, it's one of the biggest homes on the island. We're stoked to be here.

And Cody, let's continue our tour. - [Cody] Let's do it. - So we have even more grounds to see. There's actually a really cool fire pit area here. I like how they incorporated the seats into the landscaping. And then, you can see these stepping stones taking you to the beach house, which is a really cool structure.
So, we're gonna have a quick look. You walk right in. It is this wide open space, perfect for entertainment. You can have a little party here.
It comes with its own kitchen. They can probably set up a dining experience for you here as well. Great ceiling height, all these sliding glass doors open up. And this beach house has its own pool as well, which is a really nice shallow beach pool.
And if you follow the deck here, it takes you to an outdoor shower. There's also detached structure here where they store all the sea toys, the paddle boards, everything you need. And when you're ready, you just go this way to your yoga deck and basically access the beach. This is wild. - [Cody] It's so cool. - [Cody] And I'm actually gonna take off my shoes here 'cause we're gonna go to the beach. - Oh, there
we go, Cody finally doing it. - [Cody] No more gravel. Shoes are off. - All right, let's go. It's incredible that we can just leave your property and walk to the beach. And obviously, we're in this exotic location and what a setting.
And tide is back right now. Actually early on, I wanna say water was about here, right about this line. - [Cody] Yeah.
- Tide's pretty low right now. More beach though. It's one of those rare moments where my backdrop on a tour is as crazy as this. - [Cody] Right? - I mean, this is just a moment to stop and appreciate where you are. It's fantastic to be here.
Hospitality, the way we've been getting treated, this beach, and having access to all these amenities, all these outdoor features within a single property, honestly, it doesn't get much better. (serene music) Phuket is a global vacation destination thanks to its pristine beaches, warm temperatures, and overall natural beauty. Yamu One is strategically positioned on the east side of the island, an area known for its luxury villas and large estates. It's location give the perfect blend of privacy, but also the convenience to go and explore all the island has to offer. This property offers so much and it's easy to see why. You have the mountains, the beaches, and the natural life that combine gives it a unique experience a few homes can match.
(serene music) Now as promised, we're gonna check out the guest house, which is on the other side of this reflection pool. I love that this is how you get to the other side. Also, what's nice about this guest house is the fact that it is fully detached from the main house. You have this beautiful walkway taking you there and the guest house features two identical guest suites. So, we're gonna continue our tour with the first one on this side. Come on in.
We have beautiful dark hardwood floors. Room is super open. And off of this entry, we have a beautiful bathroom here with a custom vanity, vessel sink, open walk-in shower with a mosaic wall. And I like the intricate details within the mosaic section as well.
And on top of that, we have the corner glass here so you can enjoy the views straight from your shower. Now, the room itself features a king size bed, ceiling mount light fixtures. And then on the other side, we have some built-ins here, which is also a makeup area, TV. And of course, the room just opens up to a beautiful private little patio, which then leads you to this grass section that is dedicated to the guest house, which is fantastic. It's like a little zone for this structure. And going around, we hop onto the second patio for the second guest suite, which is on the other side.
Layout is pretty similar, but I want everybody to see it. King size bed, your open walking shower. Again, that's your dedicated entry. Built-ins on this side, really great space. And you go back to that backyard. Now, a question for everyone.
Would you prefer to stay here since it's detached from the main house and it feels more like a hotel suite or would you prefer to stay in the main estate? Let us know in the comments below. And once again, we're outside. And then, you have this beautiful walkway here taking you to the lower level, which we're going next. (serene music) Now, there are many ways to arrive to this level. We have this outdoor access point. And the first door we have in front of us opens up to the third primary bedroom, which is below the first one we toured earlier.
It comes with a pretty much the same layout, king size bed right in the center. And it also has an amazing full bathroom where you have a separate walk-in shower and a free standing tub facing the views. Now coming back to this landing, we have the interior staircase here with this terrazzo finish that has exposed aggregates, so it has a nice texture to it.
Powder bathroom on this side with a floating vanity. And going down we can see the bottom section of this waterfall wall, which is absolutely insane. Look at this backdrop. How is this real? This is crazy. - [Cody] It feels like we're in a temple right now.
- I agree. It's like we have natural light coming in, water, these sculptures, sound of the water, it's pretty insane. And coming back to this hallway, this door opens up to the spa. Thai culture is known for its hospitality and wellness practices.
So, it's really nice that you have your own spa room within this property. It comes with two massage tables. Great volume. Room also opens up to the grounds.
And on this side, we have a full bathroom with a marble pedestal sink, walk-in shower, and a separate water closet. You pretty much have everything you need within one space. And also keep in mind, this property comes fully staffed so they can also accommodate you here as well. Now, the next room we're gonna is the entertainment lounge.
It's nice to have a dedicated space all for entertainment and that's exactly what they did here. You got a good sized pool table. The entire room opens up to the grounds. There's also a nice terrace here.
And then, you flow straight to the side where we have the seating section. You have your L-shaped couch, two chairs. It's an area for you to kick back, relax, enjoy, get away from the rest of the guest suites. And we also have some nice built-ins here, TV. They also have a karaoke machine here, which is perfect for entertainment.
And let's just say we've been taking advantage of the space. ♪ Back in through the side ♪ - And with that, we're done with the entertainment lounge. Room next door is the gym. You walk straight from the hallway to this space.
We have hardwood floors, dumbbells on this side, gym equipment, your bike, treadmill. More contraption on this side. Of course, let's not forget TV. And keep in mind, each one of these spaces are also individually air conditioned, so you can really cool it off if you want to. Now, let's jump back to the hallway one more time so we can check out the last guest suite, which is on this level.
And it's actually the fourth primary bedroom. Let's go right in. Again, another spacious room.
This time we don't have the platform, but you still have a lower seating area. Opens up to a balcony that we'll see in a second. Cody actually let's show the other side to everyone.
Instead of a walk-in closet, we have built-in cabinetry here with beautiful oversized brass handles. You'll also get a desk here and follow me this way, we gotta go straight into the bathroom, which has a different layout. You have a walk-in shower that's actually tucked to the back with beautiful natural stone walls. Love the mosaic details here. It just adds up to the character.
And then, you go to the other side, separate water closet, beautiful vanity with natural stone countertops as well as these vessel sinks. Additional storage on the bottom. And then, we have a free standing tub. The two primary bedrooms that we have on this level, they both feature free standing tubs, but obviously the focal point is still this view.
- [Cody] Would you rather have a free standing tub or a sunken one like you have now? - That's a good question. From a visual standpoint, I like free standing tubs more. But from a functionality perspective, I actually like the tubs that we have.
They're more spacious and they're also jetted, so you get that additional functionality. - [Cody] That's true. I agree. - And with that, we're done with the bathroom. Now, let's go back into the bedroom one more time.
Again, all these bedrooms and specifically the primary bedroom suites are so spacious. Then, you get these lower sections for a seating area. And of course, we're gonna flow everybody to the outdoors, another private balcony. Incredible views. I mean, it's been so great spending time here enjoying this property, understanding and appreciating the Thai culture more. I really, really hope we'd come back to this place again and I hope you guys enjoy spending time with us.
(serene music) (birds chirping) (air whooshing) (fire crackling) Our experience at Yamu One has been memorable, to say the least. (people chattering) The landscape, the design, the architecture, and most importantly, the people and the culture we gotta experience. From our early morning workouts to paddle boarding in the sea, from our incredible meals to even more incredible view, we could have not have asked for a better experience here at Yamu One.
(serene music) For our last meal in the home, the listing agent, Felix Desjardins, and his friend joined us for a special dinner prepared by the staff. The chef prepared steak and lobster on the grill. And combined with great company, it was an amazing way to wrap up our journey at this home.
(triumphant music) All right, everyone, that's it from Yamu One. And thank you all so much for joining us on another episode.
