Apart from the sensational storylines, viewers and fans of HBO’s The White Lotus Season 3 can’t seem to stop talking about the extravagant villa that Greg Hunt (played by Jon Gries) calls home in Thailand. First teased at the end of Episode 4 and featured further in Episodes 6 and 7, the exquisite villa compliments the character’s taste for the finer things.
A web search for “Greg’s house” leads to numerous articles and online discussions revealing the identity of the property as Villa Amaravida, a stunning luxury villa located in the exclusive Cape Yamu estate in Phuket, Thailand.
Dive into these five intriguing facts about Greg’s White Lotus villa that you may not know:
1. It’s massive
To get a good idea of the property’s grandeur, Villa Amaravida sits on 8,000 square meters of beachfront property in Cape Yamu, with 5,300 square meters devoted just to the lawn and gardens. The villa itself covers 4,000 square meters, half of which are open areas. All four decadent levels of the villa include eight spacious bedrooms and three swimming pools, including two infinity pools at the main and lower levels with panoramic views of Phang Nga Bay.
The chic Scandinavian-meets-Thai-inspired design of Villa Amaravida, complete with cozy furniture and minimalist details, contributes to the “wow” factor. Adding to the impressiveness are the grand living and dining areas, luxurious enough for the lavish dinner parties and special events Greg hosts throughout Season 3.
2. The amenities you might never see on the show
Much has been said about the aerial shots and pool scenes that establish Villa Amaravida’s impressiveness, but a closer inside look will show even more lush details throughout the villa’s interiors.
Each of the 8 intimate bedrooms feature panoramic sea views, plush beddings, full sound systems, and en suite bathrooms. The grandiose Master Bedroom has a walk-in closet and a super king sized bed, and a few bedrooms offer the choice between a single king bed or 2 single beds.
Apart from the bedrooms and indoor public areas, Villa Amaravida also has its own fully-equipped gym, as well as a game room with golf simulator and wine cellar, and an in-house spa with massage tables and steam room. For cozy movie nights, there is also a private cinema with a large projector screen and enough seating for 12 guests.
The outdoor facilities are equally as impressive, with a multipurpose athletic court and a kids’ playground with climbing wall. There is even a man-made beach where kayaks are available for rent.
On top of all the extravagance, Villa Amaravida even has its own rooftop bar, complete with a jacuzzi that can fit 16 guests. Paired with wine service and bespoke meals from the in-house private chef, the possibilities for entertaining are endless.
3. It’s not the first time it has been featured on TV
Before the premiere of White Lotus Season 3, Villa Amaravida had the pleasure of being featured on Luxe TV’s Wanderluxe hosted by Cleo Anderson. The villa was included in their Phuket episode as one of the most exclusive and extravagant villas on the island, showcasing the villa’s chic design elements as well as the luxurious amenities for relaxation and leisure.
4. It has two sister villas that are just as grand
Guests who crave the extravagance of Villa Amaravida would be pleased to know that the property has two sister villas in the Cape Yamu estate, along with a number of Phuket’s top luxury villa rentals. These sister villas, which were also featured on Wanderluxe, have equally grand amenities and a similar “wow” factor that will impress guests instantly.
Villa Amarasara is a beachfront villa with seven luxurious bedrooms and an East-meets-West design aesthetic, perfect for those who want a lavish vibe closer to the coast. It has an infinity pool, and like Villa Amaravida, it also has a rooftop bar and panoramic sea views throughout the property.
Also on the Cape Yamu beachfront is Villa Amarapura, designed for the ultimate in Phuket indulgence. With seven spacious bedrooms, two jacuzzis, an infinity pool, a private cinema, and its own high-tech game room, Villa Amarapura combines relaxation and entertainment into one fantastic property that’s perfect for hosting large groups.
5. You can rent it
With its massive size, luxurious amenities, and endless options for living, entertainment, fitness and wellness, Villa Amaravida is the perfect hideaway for groups of up to 18 adults and 2 children. Rates per night start at US$5,700 for 8 bedrooms and can go as high as $13,650 during the peak season.
