L'Orchidee Residences - Villa Penda C7

Thailand » Phuket » Patong

This graceful sea-view retreat set up in the hills overlooking Patong is one of the few villas in Phuket that can truly claim to offer the best of both worlds. Within minutes we could reach the busy beach resort town of Patong and delve into its myriad nightlife, dining and shopping choices – then escape back up into Villa Penda's peaceful elegance with ease. We sunk in and stretched out in style, and our worries disappeared amid the superb level of comfort offered throughout, from the plush living room furnishings to the fully-shaded terrace with heaps of space for lounging or dining alfresco by the pool, to the private bedrooms. We could see a real sense of care throughout with high-quality craftsmanship in all the details including the wooden furnishings and the fresco-adorned wall along the pool.

Though a chef and in-villa staff can be provided on request, we opted to be left to our own devices and ordered from the villa’s à la carte menu. Meals were brought quickly and were superb, mainly Thai with some innovative flourishes. Though the indoor dining table was lovely, we usually dined out on the terrace to best enjoy the sea view and the fan-cooled fresh air.

Overall, there's something to satisfy everyone at Villa Penda C7 with space, calm and a family-friendly environment for enjoying a quiet holiday, a terrific range of services and facilities for entertaining in style, and easy access to a wealth of attractions for those seeking more adventure, be it a challenging round of golf or a night out on the town. Kids especially will delight in having a choice to play in the villa's private pool or hang out with other children in the shared pool and shallow children's pool at the clubhouse, just a few minutes' walk uphill.

L'Orchidee Residences - Villa Phala A1

Thailand » Phuket » Patong

With its gorgeous sea-view setting in the Patong hills, we found Villa Phala A1 to be the perfect place to enjoy opulent surrounds and some good old-fashioned pampering. ‘Carefree’ best describes the experience here, with a great range of facilities, services and attractions easily available and close at hand. Our time was nicely varied: one day we retreated from the world completely and lounged by the pool, ordering our meals in and catching up on some reading. Another day we wandered down the hill and plunged into Patong’s busy hawker-lined streets and shopping arcades.

We were impressed with the level of care taken in both the villa’s design and upkeep. L’Orchidée clearly runs a tight ship, with a large team of staff and contractors providing service for 25 villas – keeping the villa and the entire estate neat, tidy, and looking brand new even though it was built in 2006. Service is efficient and professional; all of our requests were understood and taken care of. In all, we found Villa Phala to be an ideal holiday home, offering ample opportunity for both exploration and utter relaxation for people of all ages. Kids especially will delight in having a choice to play in the villa’s private pool or hang out with other children in the shared pool and shallow children’s pool at the clubhouse, just a few minutes’ walk away.

Maan Tawan - Jasmin Apartment

Though it may not have quite as much space as a private stand-alone villa, Maan Tawan Jasmin is a great alternative for families or couples seeking a luxurious holiday home near the beach. Modern and bright, Jasmin is simply an all-round comfortable, inviting and fun place for all ages. Though we place it in the ‘mid-range’ category because it’s an apartment rather than a stand-alone villa, Maan Tawan’s service, facilities and design are all top-quality. It’s a well managed and cared for property, and we found the staff here to be attentive and helpful. Though services such as a chef and driver are not included, these are easily arranged for an extra charge.

Its location also has a wide appeal. Found at the quieter northern end of Bang Tao, it’s within easy walking distance of a quiet patch of sand for a blissful day of solitude away from the crowds. And with all the facilities of Laguna resort so close by, it’s also a perfect location for those who wish to indulge in some fine food and wine or have an adventure-filled holiday with sports and leisure choices including water sports, golf and ATV riding.

Maan Tawan - Penthouse

Our
Rating 7.6 Guest Rating 10.0

Sunrise, sunsets, sunrise, sunsets. There aren’t too many holiday homes in Phuket that can lay claim to providing unfettered views of both sunrises and sunsets, but Maan Tawan Penthouse offers just that if you can muster up the energy to climb up to the gorgeous rooftop pool terrace at the designated times of day. Beyond these great views, the penthouse is simply an all-around comfortable, inviting and fun place to stay for all ages. Getting to the penthouse requires climbing three flights of stairs, however, so it could be a challenge for those with limited mobility or babies in tow.
