Living There
Vacationing in the tropical island of Phuket, which is located in the kingdom of Thailand, isn’t just a holiday trip, but a voyage of experience, to a destination full of beautiful landscapes, age-old local customs and fun activities, both day time and night time, and great cuisine.
If you are travelling as a group, you might want to consider the options available to you for the accommodation of your group. A well-thought out plan for your accommodation in Phuket will not just heighten the enjoyment of the holiday for the whole group but will also save you undue strain on your wallet, so that you return from your vacation with nothing but fond memories to highlight one of the most unforgettable experiences you ever had.
CHOOSING WHERE TO STAY
The size of hotel rooms in Phuket is small, typically 30-40sqm, while a 1 bedroom rental villa can be in size as much as 80sqm of floor space, a 2 bedroom rental villa may run to as much as 160sqm and a 3 bedroom villa may be about 220sqm or more if you consider renting a luxury property. Imagine being stuck in a room of 40sqm with rambunctious toddlers, if your group consists of very young children, as Phuket is a favorite family get-away during summer. That is the recipe for disaster. However, more floor space is a definite plus, since it will provide space for your little ones to run around and burn off excess energy. Holiday rental villas are scattered throughout the 33 islands which consists of the island of Phuket, in various scenic locations, strategically located within easy reach of the local tourist attractions, in various sizes to suit your needs, at competitive rates (some as low as $33 per night!). Also, since most villas are located within their own grounds, with most also having private swimming pools, there is an even larger play area, both for the kids and the adults in the group, especially if you have journeyed to Phuket from a far destination, which you most probably have, and you need to stretch your legs a bit.
Whether your group is a family group consisting of very young or teenaged children, or it is a group of students taking a well-earned break from academic work, or a group of young professionals escaping the pressures of living in the metropolis for a summer of rustic and idyllic relaxation on Phuket’s many beaches, or a group of senior citizens on a retirement tour, there is something for everyone if they choose to rent a villa over staying at a hotel resort. Group holiday suggests that you want to spend quality time with the members of your group, in a location of your choice, so make the most of the time and avail yourself of the opportunity of a personal, intimate and homelike setting for your holiday which only a rental villa can provide. For a group on holiday, a rental villa is a home away from home.
SERVICED LUXURY VILLAS ARE EQUIVALENT TO 5-STAR RESORTS
An added plus in favour of renting a luxury holiday villa in Phuket over a stay at a hotel resort, is that meal times are more flexible. You don’t have to follow a strict regimen of timing for breakfast, lunch and dinner; as opposed to a hotel (which can be really annoying if you miss a mealtime, because then you may have to order room service, which generally costs more). In a rental luxury villa you have the option of cooking your own meals, or you may avail yourself of the services of the management of the rental who generally have staff that provide services such as cooking and cleaning and any other odd jobs you may want done (for a fee of course), and which said services can be scheduled to suit your convenience.
A holiday in Phuket is an experience to savor, to enjoy to the fullest. The landscape is every artist’s dream, and the view from the various rocky points of the island is breathtaking. The island offers a variety of diversions and amusements: from snorkeling to horse riding, sight-seeing to just spending a lazy day on the beach sunbathing, to the variety of restaurants and nightclubs to enliven the night time, or learning the local customs and participating in the local holiday celebrations. You can enjoy all of these with your group in the more personal, intimate setting provided by the rental villas, at pocket friendly rates too.
