Phuket

Add to that, the pleasures of world-class spas, beach clubs, fine dining and romantic sunsets. Come, stay at our Phuket luxury villas and invite friends and family to enjoy all this and more. Including exquisite hospitality from a team of personal staff in the stylish comfort of a luxury Phuket holiday villa.

What to Do

Ethical Elephant Tours

Gone are the days of the elephants treated like slaves, having to carry hordes of tourists on their backs and paint pictures for entertainment. Unfortunately, the last sentence is not 100% true YET, but the change is happening, and the first ethical elephant sanctuary in Phuket is pioneering the change.

Located in the lush tropical jungles of Phuket’s east coast, bordering the Khao Phra Thaeo National Park, the 30-acre Phuket Elephant Sanctuary, offers the most idyllic retirement for sick, injured and old elephants, all who have had exhausting lives, either in the logging trade or working in the many elephant trekking companies around Thailand. I went on this tour and you can read my full experience here. It changed my view of these majestic beasts and taught me so much. I highly recommend this experience.

Sun and Games 

The sand stretches for miles and miles in Phuket. Thus, you could spend weeks just frolicking on the beach.

First, head out to Kata Beach, which is popular with families and couples alike. It also has a great selection of dining options, from budget street food to fine dining restaurants. After, check out Surf House on the beachfront with its neverending man-made wave for nonstop flow boarding. For some snorkelling and boogie boarding, go to Nai Thon, where you can also go on bike tours and ride through large rice fields. Then, hop on a traditional Thai Longtail boat and have lunch on a secluded palm-fringed beach. Stand Up Paddle Boarding has boomed in recent years; book on a tour to the east coast and paddle through mangroves and a host of natural wildlife.

If a relaxing game of golf is more your thing, there are 7 golf courses on the island to discover. After, unwind with a massage and spa scrub. Have your private chef cook up an exquisite meal and sleep blissfully.
