Yet, there’s much more to discover when you visit Thailand’s largest island. The stunning Andaman Sea that surrounds Phuket is dotted with postcard-perfect islands of its own. Known in Thai as “koh”, the term “island” conjures dreamy images of white sandy shores, crystal blue waters and tropical palm trees swaying gently in the breeze. Rather than boarding a crowded vessel to be taken on a strict timetable to visit many of the picturesque islands around Phuket, book your very own private luxury yacht directly from your Phuket Villa, and take your time – traversing the waters to spend as long or as little time as you… Read more »

  Island hopping doesn’t get much more luxurious than this Review of Luxury Yacht Experience by Laura McWhinnie from This Island Life Technically not a villa, this yacht (Villa 4559) is also available to rent through Villa Getaways. The 76-foot yacht features four cabins that accommodate eight guests for overnight cruises, or 20 guests for a day cruise. We had one good weather day during our stay on Phuket, which luckily coincided with our yacht experience. With an epic villa waiting back on the mainland for us, we chose the day cruise option. So on a rare sunny morning in Phuket, we joined the crew from Andaman Cruises and headed out to the limestone islands of Phang Nga Bay. If that wasn’t exciting enough, it turns out that this is the exact same yacht that Brangelina (R.I.P) took out last Christmas Day while they were in Thailand. The water wasn’t… Read more »

Review of Villa 4573 By Laura McWhinnie of This Island Life  This private villa was legit the size of a small resort and even with my wide-angle lens, I couldn’t fit its entirety in a single shot. With seven bedrooms, six bathrooms and an epic infinity pool that looked out over the Andaman Sea, it was the stuff of tropical dreams. Located high on the cliffs on the west coast of Phuket, the villa was so huge that Jason and I kept losing each other. We had chosen an upstairs bedroom with ocean views to sleep in, but I was obsessed with the freestanding jungle bath in the master suite on the bottom floor, so I had my things spread out between two suites on two different floors. Not a bad… Read more »

Its rich culture, beautiful beaches and close proximity to spectacular limestone islands like Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay make Phuket one of Thailand’s most popular destinations.

The world can be a crazy place and if you’re visiting countries whereby the standard of living isn’t the same as “at home”, you may experience some potential travel hazards. Staying in a hotel can be fraught with perils, including theft, food poisoning or simply the accommodation not meeting your expectations. Booking your own private luxury villa in Bali or Phuket comes with a large list of benefits.
