4 girlfriends stayed at Baan Saleah for a week Sept 2012 and we cannot begin to tell how awesome Baan Saleah is.
From the moment you walk in the door you are in heaven, from the four huge, private bedrooms with massive ensuites, magnificent media room (complete with DVD's) the fabulously stocked bar (mostly free) the best pool and pavillion ever to the best cooks in Thailand - Duane and Do, you are responsible for sending us home to our husbands fat and very, very happy.
Location is perfect, a short walk down the hill to Kata Beach, we also all felt Kata beach was the nicest beach in Phuket.
We will return, of that we have no doubt, it is just a matter of when not if.

I'm almost loath to write this review because we plan on going back and I'm worried this little gem will be discovered and booked when we want it. But we've done really well out of Trip Advisor so here goes...

We stayed in this villa for a family reunion with family traveling from all corners of the globe to convene. We couldn't have hoped to find a nicer place. Rock star quality, the sort of place you'd see on MTV Cribs. The villa is very well sized and beautifully finished. Importantly for us all the rooms were of equally large size with wonderful en suites. This left everyone feeling like they'd scored a good room, so Family World War on day 1 avoided. I would say that the professional pictures don't really do the villa justice. This was a pleasant surprise as it's usually the other way.

The staff were fantastic and especially great with the kids. The Thai food they cooked was also top draw and they were able to make us special dishes. I recommend the green papaya salad especially. All in all, much better than a hotel and totally fabulous.

We stated for 5 nights at Baan Saleah. The best thing about the holiday was the great family time at the Villa which is an absolute treat. With 4 massive modern, beautifully furnished bedrooms its more like a 5 star hotel then a Villa. Each bedroom has a huge ensuite and brand new bathrooms with great showers and private spaces, offering the utmost comfort. The tranquility of the villa has to be experienced to be believed. With a stunning deck, sparkling infinity pool overlooking the ocean, beautiful plants, waterfall, outdoor pool shower, second kitchen for pool access and a gorgeous poolside pagoda with fan, outdoor lounge and swinging day-board really made for a dream poolside experience everyday. Great staff made us feel welcome and looked after. Would not go anywhere else in Phuket but this Villa, just a five minute walk down the hill to Kata Beach

This is our third stay at Baan Saleah and we look forward to our next visit. The villa is 5 star with amazing views and friendly, hospitable staff. All 4 bedrooms are like hotel rooms with plenty of room and big bathrooms. Each time we come here our family and friends comment on how it was one of their best holidays. Relaxing by the beautiful infinity pool, enjoying delicious Thai meals, exploring Phuket - what more could you ask for. The location is perfect as only a 3min walk away from beautiful Kata Noi beach and 5 min walk to Kata Beach shops and restaurants. We would like to thank the staff, once again, for making our stay so memorable and relaxing. Our 2 year old daughter had so much fun and we look forward to coming back in November.
