Luxury Villas in Bangtao Beach
Private luxury villas in Bang Tao and Layan are some of the most impressive stays you’ll find in Phuket. These two connected beaches form one long stretch of sand, with many villas on the hillsides offering ocean views and private infinity pools.
Bang Tao provides easy access to beach clubs and restaurants, while Layan remains quieter and more secluded. Most villas range from four to ten bedrooms and come with full-service teams, including private chefs and housekeepers. We’ve explored several properties here, and they’re perfect for families, groups, or anyone wanting luxury with complete privacy.
Banyan Tree Phuket
Banyan Tree Phuket is a luxury resort surrounded by tropical gardens and a lagoon. Guests stay in Pool Villas, Double Pool Villas, or the newer Veya Pool Villas. The resort is also home to a world-class spa, arguably the best in Phuket, with a long menu of treatments. Other facilities include a fitness centre, tennis courts, and a golf course across the lobby.
Four restaurants cover most cravings: Saffron serves traditional Thai, The Watercourt offers international food in a romantic setting over the lagoon, Veya focuses on Asian and Mediterranean cooking, and Banyan Cafe handles lighter meals, snacks, and breakfast buffets. Read more

A private chef can be arranged on request. The villa is inland, so you’ll need a car or scooter to reach the beach and restaurants, but it’s only minutes from Boat Avenue and the Friday night market. Works well for a group of friends or a big family wanting space and privacy at a reasonable price.
