D-Lux

The villa is offered as one private unit of 600 m², with five bedrooms and four bathrooms spread through the house for up to ten guests. Air conditioning, a private entrance and a full kitchen are part of the villa, so the whole house is yours alone.

Beds are offered as a choice of set-ups, and the villa has a private pool with sea views. It also has a desk with a workspace and cable channels on the TV, so the house works for a stay of any length.

The property offers free parking, a kitchen and a washer, along with air conditioning, linens, a private entrance and keyless access, so the basics of a self-catering stay are covered. Hair dryer, toiletries, a closet and an iron are also part of the facilities, and there is a desk with a workspace.

Coffee or tea is available, and the villa has cable channels, a TV, and both internet and WiFi, with a washer and an iron for everyday needs. Toiletries and a hair dryer complete the bathroom essentials.

D-Lux stands in Ao Po, a quiet coastal area in the Thalang district of northern Phuket, where the pace is slower than on the island's busy beach strips. The waterfront is shaped by its marina and by the small islands just offshore, so the area feels different from Phuket's resort beaches. The area suits guests who want the sea close by without the crowds of the main resort beaches.

Ao Po Grand Marina is 550 m from the villa and Ao Po Pier is 1.3 km away, both useful for anyone who wants to spend time on the water. Phuket International Airport is 15.2 km away, while Patong Beach, the best-known beach and nightlife area on the island, is 23.9 km away. The temple of Wat Chalong, one of Phuket's most revered, and the hilltop Big Buddha are both worth a visit, and Phuket FantaSea, a cultural theme park with evening shows, is 21.1 km away.

A good day could start at Wat Chalong, then continue to the Big Buddha on its hill. The sights further from Ao Po make a useful contrast with the quiet of the villa area, and a full day can take in the temple, the Buddha and a stop at Patong. Back at the villa, the private pool is a quiet place to finish the day.
