Good to know
Why stay in a pool villa?
In Phuket, the villa is the heart of the trip: everyone round one pool, the sea below, and the party right there on the terrace.
The best villas sit on the hills above the west coast, with sea views, big pools and room for the whole group. Few of them welcome a DJ; ours are picked because they do.
Resorts sell pool villas too, but that's a room with a small pool inside a hotel: fine for two. A private villa is the whole house, every bedroom round one big pool.
Here's the tip: the dry season runs December to March, driest in February, on the normals of the Thai Meteorological Department, and those weeks go first.
Hold your dry-season dates now.
AIHow much is a pool villa?
The estate has 6 to 10 bedrooms for 20 and up, staff, and an infinity pool facing the sea.
The big villa has 4 to 6 bedrooms for up to about 16, with room for a DJ by the pool. Priced for your dates.
The pool villa has 3 to 4 bedrooms for up to about 10, on the hills above the west coast.
Prices are for the whole villa. December to New Year costs the most, and prices drop from May to October.

Which area is best for a villa?
Kalim for the clubs, the bay just north of Patong. Kamala for the middle ground, and Surin, Layan or Bang Tao for the grandest villas.
Cape Yamu is a short drive from Ao Po marina for a yacht day in Phang Nga Bay, and Kamala puts you close to the beach clubs.
Here for Bangla Road? Kalim. Here for the view? Kamala.
Ask Tanner which bay suits your group.

Days out from the villa
Phi Phi is around an hour by speedboat, and Maya Bay closes from 1 August to 30 September every year, under the national park notice in the Royal Gazette. In the monsoon, Phang Nga Bay is sheltered, so its boat days are the least likely to be called off.
For a beach day, Kata Noi and Freedom Beach are the quiet sands near the villas, and Tanner books the longtail. Café del Mar in Kamala is number 37 in DJ Mag's Top 100 Clubs for 2026.
Put the boat on your clearest day.
Can you party at the villa?
Every villa sets its own music cut-off, from midnight to 6am. Many villas ban parties, so Tanner books only the ones cleared for a DJ.
A strict villa can cut the music at midnight and keep your deposit. The right one has a late cut-off and room for a DJ and a bar by the pool.
Want someone on the gate? Security keeps the guest list, ฿9,000 for an 8-hour shift. See close protection.
Keep the party inside the grounds, keep the guest list to the names you sent, and turn the music down at the cut-off. Do that, and the deposit comes back after checkout.
The house rules come with the price, in writing. Read them, then hold the villa.
AIThe top end
The best group villas have 6 to 10 bedrooms with their own bathrooms, an infinity pool facing the sea, and staff. Tanner quotes them to your plan.
The pool is built for twenty, with a big terrace for dinner at sunset. A villa manager, a daily housekeeper and a chef can cook every meal, and the best sit above the sea in Kamala, Surin or Cape Yamu.
Open-air salas shade the long lunches, the living room opens onto the pool, and the top villas add a gym, a spa or a home cinema. Pick the hills for sunsets, or the beach in Natai, Bang Tao or Kamala.
At this level, the days are built around the villa: a private yacht, a chef's dinner on the terrace, and your own VIP section at Illuzion on the big evening.
For 20, you want 8 to 10 bedrooms, or 6 to 7 big ones with twin beds, and every bedroom with its own bathroom. Villas that size are rare, so book two to three months ahead, and the bedroom plan comes back before you pay. See large group villas in Phuket.

The party we bring
Phuket evenings start at the pool and end on Bangla Road.
The car meets you at the airport, about an hour and 40 km from Patong (Google Maps, November 2026). Land in the afternoon, and by sunset the pool is lit, the DJ is set up under the sala and the barbecue is going.
The DJ plays by the pool, from ฿8,000 for the day. The bar is poured for you at ฿1,500 a person, and the photographer is ฿10,000 for the day.
The chef cooks lunch or dinner for the whole group, from ฿11,500 a day. Thai party models get the pool deck going with the DJ, and the car waits at the gate for Bangla Road.
Stay in Kalim, just north of Patong, and Bangla Road is a short hop. More in our Phuket nightlife guide.
Plan it with Tanner, and the car for Bangla Road comes with it.
Five days for 12, all in
A real Phuket week, built around the villa, a yacht day and two big evenings out.
Day one is the car from the airport, then a pool party with a DJ and a barbecue. Day two is your own yacht to Phang Nga Bay, then sunset at a beach club in Kamala or Bang Tao. Day three is slow by the pool, then Bangla Road and your own VIP section at Illuzion. Day four is Phi Phi by speedboat and a chef's dinner back at the villa. Day five is breakfast by the pool and the car to the airport.
From the villa and the yacht to the party and the cars, a week for 12 starts from about ฿300,000, priced as one plan.
Get your week priced, villa, boat and all.
AIWhen to book
Christmas and New Year: two to three months ahead. January to March: four to six weeks.
December to March is the core dry season, with November and April good edge months. Christmas to New Year are the busiest weeks, and the big villas go first. May to October is quieter and better value, with the monsoon and more rain. Songkran is 13 to 15 April 2027, so book those dates by January.
Plan it with Tanner early, and he holds the villa before December fills.

Questions
Before you book a villa in Phuket
How much is a pool villa in Phuket?
Pool villas in Phuket start from ฿18,500 a day for a 3 to 4 bedroom villa for up to about 10. Bigger villas and the estates for 20 or more are quoted to your plan.
What makes the best private pool villa?
For a group, the best private pool villa has a bedroom for everyone, an infinity pool, staff, and a music cut-off that fits a party. The grandest sit in Kamala, Surin and Cape Yamu.
Where is the best area for a villa in Phuket?
Kalim for the shortest trip to Bangla Road, Kamala for sea views and beach clubs, and Surin, Layan or Bang Tao for the grandest villas. Cape Yamu is best for a yacht day in Phang Nga Bay.
Can we have a party at the villa?
Yes. A party villa in Phuket is one cleared for a DJ: many villas ban parties, and ours set a cut-off that fits, from midnight to 6am, depending on the villa.
How far are Phuket villas from Patong?
Kalim sits just north of Patong, so it's the shortest run to Bangla Road. Kamala is the next bay up, and Surin, Layan and Bang Tao are further north. Tanner times the car to your evening.
Can we find a villa for 20?
Yes. A villa for 20 in Phuket has 8 to 10 bedrooms, or 6 to 7 big bedrooms with twin beds, quoted to your plan. Book two to three months ahead for Christmas and New Year.
Is a villa better than a hotel for a group?
For a group that wants to party, yes: your own pool, your own music and one place for everyone, with no neighbours down the corridor and no closing time at the bar.
When is the best time to book a villa in Phuket?
December to March is the heart of the dry season and February the driest month. September is the wettest. Villas cost less from May to October.
Why don't you show the villa's name?
They're private homes. We describe them by bedrooms and features, and share the name and address once you book, to protect the owners and their neighbours.
Do Phuket villas have private pools?
Ours all do. Every private pool villa in Phuket we book has its own pool, from a 3-bedroom house to a sea-view estate, with the pool lit when you arrive.
Tanner's offer
Three west-coast villas, each with one price.
