3 things to look for when searching for Phuket villa rentals
1) Location
To beach or not to beach, that is the question. Of all the Phuket villa rentals out there, beach units are always the most in demand. And this means they are also the most expensive. It’s possible to get more bang for your buck further away from the beach. Let’s take a quick look at two impressive Phuket villas for rent that highlight the difference.
This two-bedroom villa overlooking Patong Beach fetches THB 250,000 (USD 7,700) per month during high season. For the same price, you could also rent a spacious, four-bedroom villa less than ten-minutes away from the white sands of Bang Tao Beach. Both are great depending on what you want.
And that is why you must prioritise just how important location is before searching through Phuket villa rentals.
2) Service
Not all Phuket villa rentals include service. Some, such as the picturesque Picasso Villas, have staff on hand to provide cleaning service and operate more like a hotel. Other rentals feature nothing more than the villa. Meanwhile, some properties offer service for an additional fee. This is a detail you will want to organise before arriving on your Phuket holiday.

3) Agent
Who you rent the villa from matters just as much as the property itself. You’ll find no shortage of individuals claiming to represent various Phuket villa rentals, but in reality they’re simply a third party who will try to book a property on your behalf. We strongly advise using reputable, verified agents who have a track record of working in Phuket.
Phuket Hello is one such firm. The agency offers a selection of exclusive holiday villas and private homes for rent throughout Phuket. St James Property, named as one of Thailand’s Best Real Agencies 2018, is another company known for its outstanding work in Phuket.
