Phuket - a Southeast Asian Gem
Phuket is among the world's finest beach destinations, with fine white sands, nodding palm trees, glittering seas and lively towns. It has something for a wide array of tastes, with an eclectic choice of dining and plenty of entertainment options. Aside from visiting the fantastic attractions of Thailand's biggest island, you can take an exhilarating speedboat trip to the many nearby tropical islands.
Phuket is blessed with more than 30 amazing beaches to choose from. Patong Beach, Kata, Karon and Kamala have always been the most popular, but the north of the island reveals some hidden gems for travellers searching for a more romantic atmosphere. With your villas in Northwest and Southwest Phuket you have access to both.
