Phuket villa rentals
Those holidaying in Phuket will find an impressive selection of accommodation ranging from bungalows and guesthouses to apartments and villas. The most luxurious of these are the villa rentals in Phuket which appeal to those who can afford the luxury and privacy.
Phuket villa rentals are ideal for those on long and short holidays, singles and families, because they offer all the services of a hotel but with the privacy of your own home. However, they don’t come cheap. A family-sized villa could be upwards of 50,000 baht a night! If you have the cash though, villa rentals are perfect for a relaxing holiday.
Villas rentals on Phuket offer the most privacy. They are usually surrounded by high walls and staff who are trained to ensure guests are not disturbed. You could spend your entire holiday inside your villa or in the villa complex. Most villas come with a complete kitchen or at least a kitchenette, and some offer a shopping service to stock your kitchen or even a private chef to cook your meals.
In Phuket villa rentals are favoured over hotel rooms for their size and luxury. Villa rooms are much larger than hotel rooms, and have more expensive fittings and décor. Villa rooms are usually complete with wi-fi, cable or satellite television and sound systems. You can find them with up to five bedrooms, and most on Phuket have a private swimming pool. Many villa developers will describe their villas as a home away from home. But these are homes that don’t need to be cleaned either! All villa rentals in Phujet offer housekeeping services as they need to be maintained for their owners.
One of the main attractions of holidaying in a villa is the service. Because these are upscale properties and you are paying premium rates, you can expect the best in service. This includes good security, room service, villa complex restaurants and facilities, and the world famous Thai hospitality. The pricier villas may even include a personal butler.
Villa complexes boast all the services of hotels and much more. The average villa complex will offer two or more restaurants, a spa and gym, large communal pool, business centre, library, bars, and possibly a children’s facility. However, because the rooms are so large and comfortable, you’ll find very few guests outside of their rooms, making it quiet and pleasant for when you want to go for a walk or pop over to the gym.
The villa rentals phenomenon has been sweeping across Phuket in recent years, and most of the villa rentals on the island are very new. More are being built every day, and all are trying to outdo one another, making for some very opulent choices indeed.
One of the most high-end villa resorts under construction now is Puravarna in Nai Harn. When the first phase is completed this year, there will be 29 pool villas on offer with spectacular facilities, including helicopter service direct from the airport, catering to affluent guests. The newly finished Trisara, near Nai Thon beach on the Layan headland, is one of the most beautiful and well known villa resorts on Phuket. The pool villas here have enormous teak wood sundecks that overlook private infinity pools and sea views.
