There are many reasons why a villa is the ideal accommodation for you when you go on holiday in Thailand.
One reason is that villas are relatively more inexpensive as compared to luxury hotels. Yes, villas offer the same extent of luxury but at a value that’s considerably lower than what you can enjoy from five-star hotels. For a price that’s actually just a fraction of what you can pay for a single room in a five-star hotel, villas give you the same amenities and comfort.
That makes villas perfect for group outings! Each of you end up spending a lot less on accommodation when you rent a villa for your Phuket or Samui holiday, than you would when you prefer luxury hotels.
Another reason is total privacy – you and your travel mates get access to the entire villa only to yourselves. This means you get to enjoy the infinity pool, the barbecue facilities, the games room and many others, without competing with other people as you would in a hotel.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a luxury villa for your next holiday in Thailand:
The Views
There are no questions about the kind of accommodation and amenities that you can get from a luxury villa in Phuket, or Koh Samui. The next thing you’ll want to consider is – what views do you wake up to from your bedroom window?
This, of course, depends on your preference. If you like the sight of the sun rising from the sea, choose a seaview villa. If you like mountains, you can choose a villa that faces the mountains, or provides views of both the sea and the mountains. The Andaman Bay is a sight to behold, after all, and much of Phuket’s villas are strung out along the coastlines.
The Location
While villas are themselves self-contained, you don’t want to spend the entirety of your holiday inside them. You’ll want to go out and explore Phuket, especially its night life as well as its night market and street food.
Thus, it goes without saying that you will want to choose a villa that’s just at most a half-hour’s drive away from the stuff that Phuket offers its foreign visitors. In other words, choose a villa that’s far enough from the center to be peaceful, but also near enough for you to be where the fun is at.
The In-House Services
Last but not the least, you will want to find out what are the services that you can enjoy in-house. Is there an on-call chef that can whip up a four-course meal for you and your companions when you want it? Are there entertainment areas for you to pass the time in case foul weather (it actually happens) spoils your plans for the day?
Without a doubt, villas are the perfect form of accommodation for you and your companions when you’re on holiday in any of Thailand’s island paradises! They’re truly worth the investment that you put into them, even for a week-long holiday.
