V Villas Phuket - MGallery Collection

We recommend V Villas to honeymoon couples and affluent families seeking absolute intimacy without sacrificing palace service. An address for those who flee Patong and Kata, prefer a villa with butler to an impersonal grand hotel. Thirty- and forty-somethings in search of discretion find their match here, as do families with young children thanks to the sheltered beach.

The resort comprises twenty contemporary villas spread across a wooded hill overlooking Ao Yon bay. Clean Thai architecture: gently sloping roofs, white walls, large sliding glass bays. Interiors signed by a local firm: teak wood, natural stone, bespoke furniture, beige-grey-white palette. Each villa has its own infinity pool (8 to 12 metres depending on category), teak terrace, equipped kitchen, sea-view bedrooms.

The Villazzo restaurant serves Thai-Mediterranean fusion cuisine: revisited tom yum, charcoal-grilled fish, risotto with local seafood. The chef offers a six-course tasting menu on request, in-villa service included at no extra charge. À la carte breakfast delivered to the villa or served at the main restaurant, wine list focused on France and Australia. The main pool bar stays open until 23h, classic cocktails and house mocktails.

V Villas stands at Ao Yon, a confidential bay on Phuket's east coast, fifteen minutes from Phuket Town. The neighbourhood remains residential and quiet, far from the tourist zones of Patong (35 minutes) and Kata (40 minutes). Phuket International Airport 35 minutes by car, private transfer included. Nearby: a few local fish restaurants, Wat Khao Rang temple ten minutes away, Phuket Town night market reachable in twenty minutes. No shops in the immediate vicinity, car recommended to explore the island.
