Why Book A Luxury Villa In Phuket

Selection of Incredible Phuket Villas

Thailand’s most renowned vacation destination, the island of Phuket is home to some of the world’s most spectacular luxury vacation villas for rent. Private beachfront beauties are discovered steps away from Phuket’s famed white-sand beaches, while chic, coastal cliffside villas promise dramatic panoramic views of Phuket’s breathtaking green landscape and magnificently blue sea.

Phuket luxury villas range from four-bedroom hideaway retreats to palatial ten-bedroom oases, often combining striking Thai design elements with a contemporary style to create glorious holiday villa rentals that are exquisitely unique. Impressive facilities and features include infinity pools with al fresco dining and lounge spaces, and often games rooms, private cinemas, and gyms, with some villas boasting tennis courts, lawns, and even in-villa spas.

Inspiring a wonderfully luxurious villa lifestyle, your stay comes complete with in-villa staff such as a personal butler, on hand to ensure you truly relax and your needs are seamlessly met. Meanwhile, private chefs create special dining experiences, while a concierge helps organize unforgettable experiences during your stay. You may want a private yoga session or a spa treatment too, which can also be arranged at your villa.

Where to Find the Best Villas in Phuket

From lively urban seasides to charming island village settings, from exclusively owned peninsulas to stunning beaches hidden by pristine forests – the geographic character of Phuket is sure to impress any traveler. And the luxury villas found in each location are just as diverse and spectacular.

Ao Po – The Ao Po Grand Marina is where superyachts moor, a place to be for yachties. Located on the northeastern tip of Phuket, it is an ideal access point to Phang Nga Bay. Even though Ao Po Bay is not a beach destination, the area will charm you with its country-side vibe as roads cut through woodlands and quiet neighborhoods. Luxury villas set on its coastal hills provide spectacular views of the bay.

Bangtao / Layan – One of, if not the, longest uncut stretches of beach on the island, Bangtao, is one stunning place to behold. Turquoise waters, white sand, and coastal treeline define its landscape. Extending to its north, Layan beach is similarly beautiful though shorter in length. The area is popular for its numerous high-end beach clubs including the famed Catch Beach Club. For golfers, the Laguna Phuket Golf Club is just nearby too.

Cape Yamu – Cape Yamu estate occupies an entire peninsula strutting out from Phuket’s eastern coast. It is among the few places in Phuket where you can find luxury villas with direct beachfront access surrounded by lush greenery. In addition to its complete exclusivity, the estate also hosts some of the most highly-acclaimed restaurants on the island. Other facilities include spa and fitness facilities, a private tennis court, and a pier.

Kamala – Home to Phuket’s infamous Millionaire’s mile, Kamala is a prime luxury villa location in the west coast and the entire island. Kamala beach has a reputation of being a less crowded alternative to Patong area, just a short drive to the south. It hosts numerous beach clubs and just nearby, the Phuket Fantasea Show offers world-class entertainment for everyone.

Nai Thon – Hidden in peaceful seclusion by one of Phuket’s remaining untouched wilderness, Nai Thon enjoys sheer serenity. Luxury villas are mostly built on hillside locations embraced by vegetation and gazing out into the beauty of the coast. The beaches are truly pristine running alongside the magnificent coastal forest. Notably, Nai Thon is also home to Phuket’s first and only Michelin-starred restaurant, Pru.

Natai – Natai is often described to be found in Phuket, but it is actually located at its neighboring province of Phang Nga. Like Naithon, Natai has remained relatively untouched since it is part of one of Thailand’s protected forest areas. Despite this, the area holds a number of luxurious hotels, beach clubs, and of course, luxury villas. The beach stretches on for more than 10 kilometers with nothing but sand, sea, and trees. This coastal area is also a place to discover wildlife and is regarded as an important nesting site for sea turtles.

Patong / Kalim – The commercial heart of Phuket, Patong, is also home to its most popular beach. You will find a diverse crowd of cheerful travelers doing all sorts of seaside activities in Patong Beach. There are obvious conveniences to renting a luxury villa here as you are just a stone’s throw away from all the bars, restaurants, and shopping centers. Kalim beach, however, set right next to Patong, is an entirely different scene with very few tourists and establishments. Though not ideal for swimming it is considered one of the best surfing spots in Phuket attracting surfers to its shores during the low season.

Royal Phuket Marina – Experience luxury living right at the water’s edge of what is acclaimed as the best marina in Asia. The Royal Phuket Marina is known for its forested landscape and impressive architecture. With its prime location on the island’s east coast, the marina provides access to Phuket’s top yachting destinations including Koh Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay.

Surin – Just a short drive away from Patong, Surin is another stunningly beautiful stretch of white sand but with a more laid-back atmosphere. Despite its popularity, the beach is relatively undeveloped giving the place an idyllic, rustic charm. A verdant hillside just a mile inland holds some very impressive luxury villas set dramatically on its slopes.

Phuket as a Destination

The Beaches

There are many picturesque beaches in Phuket to lounge on during glorious days of holiday sunshine. Pick the right beach and you can enjoy swimming, snorkeling, watersports, and even watching fire dancing shows, as well as dining on the sands.

In the north-west, Mai Khao Beach is renowned for being one of Phuket’s longest, at around nine kilometers, and welcomes sea turtles who lay their eggs here. Nai Thon Beach is part of Sirinath National Park and is a peaceful spot that is renowned as a snorkeling haven. Meanwhile, Bang Tao Beach is home to hipster beach clubs and is a popular sandy shore for families.

Surin Beach and Kamala Beach, going south, are ideal if you are looking for a chilled-out yet glamorous vibe. Meanwhile, Patong Beach is undoubtedly the party shore, with an upbeat energy day and night. Nearby Freedom Beach could be another world though and is a snorkeler’s paradise that can only be reached by long-tail boat in high season. Close to Kamala, Kata Noi Beach boasts a great dining scene, yet the actual sands are still quiet enough to relax. Nearby Karon Beach has more activities than most beaches and is a favorite with water-sport fans.

In the east, Ao Yon Beach has an old-style Thai-beach feel, while the nearby island of Naka Yai has plenty of pretty beaches. Other sandy spots include Koh Siray, Laem Ka, and the Maprao and Rang islands.

The Weather

The sun always shines in tropical Thailand and Phuket promises blue skies most of the year, with temperatures rarely dropping below 25° Celsius. As will all Thai island destinations, Phuket has distinctly different seasons, with the climate dictating high and low tourist season too.

Without doubt, some of the finest days are between November and February, when it is fabulously warm without being too hot, with cool breezes and no rain. Going into March until at least May, Phuket experiences its hottest temperatures which, whilst still in the 30s, can feel hotter because of the humidity. Thankfully, air-con and oversized fans keep the heat at bay.

Beginning around the end of May and lasting through to October, the rains fall during the monsoon season. However, this can be a great time to visit as the cooling rains often only last for a short time or downpours come during the night, and the storms are fabulously dramatic too. With fewer tourists, this can be a relaxing time to visit.

Amazing Island Activities

Whilst you can experience a castaway beach vacation in Phuket and stay in a luxurious vacation villa, you can also enjoy lots of activities, adventures, and excursions too. Phuket has many attractions which makes it a go-to destination for families as well as groups of friends looking for the best experiential travel Thailand has to offer.

One of the most exhilarating day trips from Phuket is to head-out on a speedboat for an island-hopping expedition. Koh Khai and Racha Island are less than 20 minutes away, while you can also explore the divine Phang Nga Bay, Phi Phi Island, and Coral Island. For the best diving in Thailand, you can visit the Similan Islands during certain times of the year. Phuket is a yachting haven too, with regattas and events that are part of the international boating calendar. Sunset dinner cruises, PADI diving courses, snorkeling, and fishing as well as jet-skiing and kite-surfing, Phuket is a watersports oasis with a perfect climate for sailing.

Some of the best restaurants in Southeast Asia cook-up creative menus in Phuket and the island is a culinary destination where talented chefs create cuisine from all over the world. Dining is an experience, with achingly romantic tables, intimate al fresco dinners, and innovative menus too.

Visiting temples adds a rich, cultural layer to your beach break, with the 45-meter Big Buddha statue a must-visit as the sun sets with wide vistas over Phuket and out to the turquoise sea. Phuket Old Town boasts an evocative Sino-Portuguese heritage, with striking colonial-style architecture. Today, the historical shophouses are cafés, restaurants, and boutiques. There’s a great Sunday-night Walking Street market here too which many tourists flock to for local handicrafts and to sample the authentic taste of Thai food.

Waterpark fun, ziplining, and golf add to the long list of fun activities Phuket has to offer, and there is much to discover away from the island’s beaches too, exploring the island’s green, tropical jungle landscapes. Waiting up to yoga on the beach, taking a cooking class to learn traditional Thai recipes or inspiring wellbeing with massage therapy, Phuket is full of vacation riches.
