Modest private luxury on Phuket

Thailand’s most visited island has long been a favoured choice for wealthy visitors looking to rent luxurious private villas as an alternative to hotels. The range of opulent private properties available for short term rent through management companies and rental agencies on the island is now extensive, with wedding couples and there guests also regularly choosing exclusive, expansive private residences to hold special events.

Less prolific, yet constantly in demand due to their manageable size, affordable rates and wide ranging facilities; luxury apartments are also now a popular choice for couples, families and groups in search of more independence and exclusivity than they would perhaps enjoy at a hotel or resort.

The most exclusive apartments are located within gated, serviced developments either overlooking or close to the island’s best beaches. Communal facilities such as a swimming pool, clubhouse and outdoor dining options all add to the appeal of these developments, and the best apartments also come with leading edge entertainment systems and top of the line fitted kitchens for guests that want to self-cater or hire a private chef.

“The demand for luxury holiday apartments on Phuket is very high,” saidAndrew Craig, Group COO, Luxury Villas & Homes Ltd. “With two or three bedroom options, they fill the gap nicely between a hotel room and a full scale private villa. The apartments in our portfolio also come with a range of onsite services and staff to make sure guests have everything need close to hand.”

One example are three luxurious apartments, including one private penthouse, offered through LVH on the Maan Tawan Estate — a quiet but convenient gated development on Phuket’s upscale west coast at Bang Tao. Upscale facilities and an appealing choice of private spaces to relax in make the apartments an attractive and very affordable short term rental option for families or small groups.

“With three apartments in the one development, a private swimming pool and sun terrace, which also has a shaded BBQ area, the properties at Maan Tawan are also a popular venue for a family get together or group holiday with friends,” added Craig.

Developers on Phuket have have been swift to react to the market for apartments and condominiums on Phuket with high profile projects like Laguna Shores and Sansiri’s recently launched Baan Mai Khao condominiums showcasing the appeal of such developments for international investors, as well as rental guests.

As more projects follow, the choice of luxury rental accommodation on the island is sure to expand even further as owners look to make the most of their purchases year round and management companies like Luxury Villas and Homes expand their portfolio.
