LushStays: Private Villas in Phuket

Thailand remains on top of our dream exotic destinations, most particularly, Phuket, the pearl of the south. While the island is famous for its white sand beaches, it also offers attractions like an 18-hole mini-golf course called Dino Park, an aquarium that displays hundreds of colorful fishes found around the island and Fantasea, a nighttime theme park. These improvements have made the island ideal not just for honeymooning but for family and group vacations as well.

If you’re vacationing with family and friends, we suggest you seek an alternative to the usual hotel accommodations. Phuket is home to hundreds of villas that give you privacy and freedom to move around. Living and sleeping areas are quite spacious and most come with their own pool and garden. These properties are safe for young children and are usually within gated compounds that have their own 24-hour security.

We fell in love with these luxurious villas from MyAsianVilla and we’re sure you’d feel the same way, too.

Hale Malia’s interiors combine Asian furnishings with modern luxuries like indoor sauna and steam rooms.
