The public lounge, walkway, pool, and gym all share the same area and great views over Karon Beach. One thing worth mentioning is how nicely the palms and other plants are integrated. Palms jut out from between spaces in the boardwalk and along the stairway creating a neat blend of modern and natural beauty.
The pool at The Heights really is one of the nicest pools that I have seen. The view over the infinity edge is just spectacular and the palm tree islands are a really interesting feature.
Here you can see the view from the pool a bit better as well as the “palm tree” island that extends into the middle of the pool.
The gym has a great view overlooking the pool and the Andaman Sea in the distance.
It’s difficult to see from the picture, but each side of the walkway with the plants is actually a small river of water that flows down each side of the stairway--very cool!
A close-up look at some of the detailed landscaping. They have done a beautiful job spreading running water throughout the grounds to create a wonderful tropical feel.

The aptly named Heights is built high on the hills overlooking Karon. It’s off a little street that winds its way abruptly up the side of one of the steepest main roads in Phuket. This place really is that high up. The vertical trip is worth it though, as the views from the rooms and main pool are spectacular.
The large main pool is one of the most interesting and beautiful pools that I have seen in any Phuket resort. Its high position looking over Karon Beach gives perfect views of the magnificent western sunsets. There are just enough palm trees strategically placed around the area to magnify the feeling of a tropical environment without obstructing the view.
Another very nice touch in the public area is the integration of water throughout. Water flows down each side of the main staircase leading up to the condominiums, and smaller pools and rivulets work their way through the gardens and trees. It's amazing that places like this are available to rent.

The apartments are laid out very well with everything but the second bedroom having a great view and direct access to the main balcony. The main balcony is what really needs to be mentioned first when describing this...
