Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa review

Poolside at Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa

Highlights

  • Fronts onto a beautiful deserted beach.
  • Luxurious private pool villas.
  • Mai Khao Beach location affords privacy away from the crowds of Phuket.

I visited the Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa recently and stayed in one of the private pool villas (My first!!), of which there are 26, but there are also 150 deluxe rooms, which I also took a look at and will post a pic or two here. You can of course see a lot more photos (51 to be exact) on the Flickr set of the resort.

On the northwest coast of Phuket, north of the airport lies Mai Khao beach, an 11 kilometer stretch of practically deserted tropical beach which is home to a number of luxurious resorts away from the noisy crowds often found on other parts of the island.

Private pool villas in Bangkok

Private pool villas at The Siam

I get a lot of traffic from people looking for private pool villas in Bangkok. While there are plenty of private pool villas in Thailand, they are hard to find in Bangkok. In fact, I would venture to say that until this year, there were none. That changes this year with the opening of a new luxury property on the banks of the Chao Phraya River.

The Siam Hotel

Scheduled to open September 1st 2011, The Siam Hotel (website) will be the first hotel in Bangkok (to my knowledge) to offer private pool villas. Located at the base of Krung Thon Bridge in historic Dusit district, between Khao San and Chatuchak, The Siam is the project of the famous Sukosol family.

A member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, you can expect old world charm in the antique filled  39 room art deco luxury riverside residence.

Six room types will be on offer including three suites ranging in size from 77 sqm to 100 sqm, two pool villas measuring 126 sqm and Connie’s Cottage, a 163 sqm Thai residence which was actually transported down the Chao Phraya river by boat from the ancient Thai capital of Ayutthaya.

Opening rates for the pool villas are USD1000 per night for the regular pool villas and USD1200 per night for the riverside pool villa.

Watch this space closer to the opening for more information.

For those who cannot wait until the opening of The Siam later this year, there are a couple of  alternatives in Bangkok. Although not exactly private pool villas, these are the closest you can get to it in Bangkok.

6 sensational private pool villa resorts

Private pool villas, a growing trend in Thailand and in popular resort spots around the world seem to be popping up at an increasing pace. If you are looking for the ultimate in privacy and pampering, private pool villas could be just what you are looking for.

If you have ever had the unpleasant experience of having to deal with other guests at a resort who get up at dawn, go down to the pool and “reserve” their place by placing a towel and book on a poolside recliner, only to leave it there unattended for 4 or 5 hours so they can come back to claim their spot in the middle of the day, you would certainly appreciate having your own private pool.

Ayara Kamala Resort Phuket

Private beach at Ayara Kamala Resort Phuket

From the moment you arrive at the Ayara Kamala Resort Phuket you realize that this small resort is different to the norm. Set on a hillside overlooking the Andaman Sea and Kamala Bay provides many rooms with beautiful sea views, and guests can enjoy rooms or villas with private pools or make use of the resort swimming pool or private beach.

Poolside at Ayara Kamala Resort PhuketWith only 27 guest rooms the key here is personal service, and though small, the Ayara Kamala Resort Phuket still offers a range of services and level of luxury that you would expect from a 5 star hotel. There’s a restaurant serving both Thai and International Cuisine that benefits from sea views; and a spa and wellness center with fitness center, sauna and tennis courts.

The quiet location is ideal for couples especially those on honeymoons, yet Patong Beach and Phuket International Airport are both around 30 minutes distant.

Sala Phuket Resort & Spa

Two bedroom pool villa at the Sala Phuket Resort & Spa

The new 5 star Sala Phuket Resort and Spa offers visitors to Southern Thailand a new and unique experience – private villas, most with swimming pools, yet all the facilities and services you would expect from a hotel!

Of the 79 villas, 63 have private swimming pools, and these are not just overgrown bathtubs; these are among the largest guest room swimming pools in the world! The beachfront location, on Mai Khao Beach in north-west Phuket, provides guests with a peaceful setting, yet there’s plenty to do in the vicinity if you want to be more active.
