  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 »

Perched high on the cliffs overlooking the dramatic Andaman Sea, is Villa 4186, also known as ‘Baan Santisuk’. There are five bedrooms (all with ensuites), three outdoor showers, an epic infinity pool, an outdoor sala and a gym so incredible that we lost our driver to it! We were waiting out the front of the villa to be driven to dinner and we couldn’t find our driver anywhere – his van was there but he was nowhere to be seen. We ended up finding him in the gym, shirt off, mid-workout. One of the best things about this villa is its master suite. Set away from the main lounge and dining areas, the bedroom and ensuite are nestled amongst the trees with views of Yae Beach. The suite has wrap-around glass doors that you can open up completely to give the feel that you are sleeping in your very own… Read more »

That while there are many temptations to lure you to its balmy shores throughout the year, the Thai island is home to Asia’s largest and most popular boating event. The Phuket King’s Cup Regatta is a diary highlight for December every year, drawing yacht owners, boating enthusiasts and eager spectators by the planeload to enjoy the waters of the Andaman Sea and the complementary activities. The Phuket King’s Cup Regatta began in 1987 as a celebration for His Majesty the King of Thailand’s then 60th birthday. It was such a drawcard for Phuket that it immediately became an annual event for the first week of December, hosting Thailand’s elite, the Royal Thai Navy, official entrants, hoards of tourists and yachtsmen and women. The international yachting event is the ideal platform… Read more »
