Escape Villa

Escape Villa has a mix of villas and rooms for different group sizes, from a double room for two guests to villas for up to ten. Air conditioning is in every room. Some of the villas measure 215 m², 164 m² and 274 m², while a room of 35 m² sleeps up to three guests.

Some rooms have a garden view and others a pool view. Several bathrooms come with bathrobes, towels and toiletries, and many rooms have blackout curtains and a fan. Several bathrooms also include a mirror and slippers, and coffee and tea makers are provided in some rooms.

Escape Villa has an outdoor swimming pool and a garden, and a shared lounge with a TV is open to guests. The restaurant, the bar and room service are on site, food delivery is also available, and the 24-hour front desk is staffed round the clock. The pool and the garden are the main outdoor spaces.

For getting around, the hotel offers an airport transfer, a shuttle service, tours and a taxi service. A concierge is available, and ticket services are also offered.

Practical services include currency exchange, luggage storage, laundry, dry cleaning, babysitting, a convenience store and a doctor or nurse on call. Free parking is available on site, and free Wi-Fi covers all rooms.

Escape Villa sits in Rassada, a district of Phuket Town, the island's main town, rather than on one of the beaches on the west coast. The old quarter nearby has Sino-Portuguese shophouses, a mix of temples, shrines and small museums, so the area appeals to those who want local life more than beach life.

The Upside Down House is 250 m away, a house where the furniture and rooms are arranged as if turned upside down. Sapam Temple, a pagoda, is close by. Patong Beach, known for its nightlife, is 9.6 km away, and Phuket International Airport is 21 km from the hotel. Phuket is joined to the mainland by a bridge, so a car or taxi is the usual way to reach the beaches.

A good day could begin at Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), the island's most important Buddhist temple, 11 km away, and continue to Big Buddha Phuket on its hilltop. In the evening, Phuket FantaSea is a theme park with cultural shows, or Karon Beach gives a long, sandy stretch for the late afternoon. Both temples and Big Buddha Phuket are reached by road from the hotel, and the west-coast beaches can be reached in the same way.
