Phuket Experience

The locale

Villa Minh lies within the Jomchang Estate along Phuket’s exclusive west-coast headland known as the Millionaires’ Mile.  Its hillside location offers panoramic sea views and seclusion, yet the resort towns and bustling beaches of Kamala and Patong are reached within a 20-minute drive.  Kamala, to the north of the villa, is a low-key town with casual seaside dining spots and surf/boogie board rentals, while Patong, to the south, is the hub for Phuket’s nightlife, dining and shopping, with plenty of water sports to enjoy on the beach

Things to Do

As Thailand’s largest and most developed island, Phuket boasts more than 30 fine-sand beaches and a wealth of activities to keep travellers enchanted and entertained.  Flip through the villa’s guidebook and ask your villa manager for local travel tips and recommendations.

Here’s a sample of some of the adventures to enjoy: 

  • The amazing seascapes of the Andaman Sea are best explored aboard a luxury yacht. Glide along the calm Phang Nga Bay to see its majestic karst islands, snorkel with the fishes off Raya island, or sink your toes into the soft white sand of Maithon island.
  • As a water sports centre, Phuket is a top spot for surfing, kayaking, windsurfing, wakeboarding or stand-up paddling, as well as scuba diving excursions and lessons.
  • “Journey to the enchanted kingdom of Siam” with a visit to the elaborate stage show, Siam Niramit, near Phuket Town.
  • Or try a more low-key intro to local culture on a walking tour of the Old Town. Discover the history behind the restored Sino-Portuguese buildings and tasty local eats.
  • Join a Thai cookery class and learn how to make your favourite dishes at home. Some classes include the chance to visit a local market to shop for all the fresh ingredients.
  • Explore the island’s sacred side with a trip to its largest Buddhist temple, Wat Chalong, and the Big Buddha, a 45-metre seated statue in white marble that casts a serene gaze across a panoramic vista from its hilltop perch.
  • Phuket’s lush interior offers some wild and active diversions including bicycle tours, ATV riding trips, and jungle trail walks. Visit the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project, or go for a thrilling zip-line ride at Hanuman World.
  • Indulge in some retail therapy at one of Phuket’s malls including Jungceylon in Patong, boutique shops near Bang Tao and Surin beaches or some of the island’s lively street markets.
  • Rise early to beat the heat and enjoy a round or two at one of the scenic golf courses in Phuket including the Laguna Phuket Golf Club, Loch Palm and Mission Hills.
  • Delve into Phuket’s nightlife scene with a diversity of choices from rustic beachside beer shacks to chic cocktail bars to DJ dance clubs. Patong Beach has the most to offer night owls in search of bright lights and tasty libations.
