If you are planning a holiday vacation to Phuket and have been searching the local hotels, why not think about renting one of Phuket’s luxury villas instead. The cost is probably a lot cheaper than you might think and having your own private villa offers security and flexibility for you and you friends and family. Luxury villas in Phuket nearly always command the best locations, be it beachfront or high on a headland with views of the Andaman.
Some of the best villas are along the West coast in the Laguna area, Surin beach and along ‘Millionaires Row’ in Kamala. Surin and Laguna offer less seclusion than Kamala but are closer to bars and restaurants and other facilities.
There are a wide range of villas in Phuket so you will be able to find one to meet your location needs. And because there is a decent supply in Phuket right now and some healthy competition between villas, you may well just pick up a bargain stay. If you break the pricing down to a per room basis it will almost always compare very well against a similar standard hotel. And on top of this, you do not pay the inflated restaurant, bar and activity prices in your own villa which is often the largest expense of a holiday!
With you as the only guests your staff can meet your every need and make you feel special rather than just a number in a large hotel. Private villas generally range from 2-12 bedrooms, but the average would be 4/5 each with private en suites and most offering at least one child friendly room which would have twin beds and/or be adjoining to another double room for the parents.
Most villas come with all the mod cons, such as;
– Private swimming pools.
– games rooms with billiard table, darts and games consoles.
– ipod and iphone integration to the house sound system.
– European designed furniture and fittings throughout.
– wine cellar/cigar room.
– Jacuzzi and steam room.
– library and office.
– outdoor entertaining areas and gardens.
– most with direct/indirect beach access.
– private car and driver.
– and so much more…
Having your own private chef is just amazing. Great food when and where you want it. They usually specialise in Thai dishes of course but most will be fully trained to offer western food also. And i mentioned before the cost is a fraction of a hotel restaurant.
A 5 bed villa would usually have 4 or 5 staff on hand to make things run smoothly. The villa manager is the key person and they will liaise with you to make sure everything is running as it should. From organising golf trips to booking tables at the restaurant. This is your personal concierge service.
If you are traveling as a family or a group of friends then the luxury villa is definitely and option for you. Intimate, personal luxury available without spending $5m + on the villa.
