Patong Seaview Luxury Villa Penda

The whole house is let as one, with 298 m² of space across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and room for up to seven guests. Sea views, a hot tub and air conditioning come with the villa, and the kitchen, a washer and a dishwasher are at hand.

The beds can be set up in several ways, using queen, king, single and bunk beds, so the sleeping arrangements can be adapted to the group. A crib or baby cot and a high chair are also available for younger guests.

The property offers a hot tub, a gym and a barbecue grill, and the kitchen comes with cookware, oils, condiments, coffee or tea, a refrigerator, a microwave, a stove and a dishwasher.

Practical extras include a washer, an iron, a desk or workspace, a sound system, air conditioning and a private entrance. For guests with young children there is a crib or baby cot and a high chair, and the property has 24-hour security.

Free parking is available, and internet access is available as well, with a TV and cable channels in the villa. Guests who arrive by car can use the free parking, and the villa is 250 m from Patong Beach.

Patong is one of Phuket's best-known beach resorts, a busy bay where the sand, the restaurants and the evening crowds sit close together. The villa is 250 m from Patong Beach, so the sea is close at hand. Its beaches, shops and restaurants make it one of the busiest places to stay on Phuket.

The area is lively in the evenings. Patong's streets are full of restaurants, bars and night markets, and the evening crowds fill them. Bangla Road, the street of bars and nightclubs, is 1.6 km away, and the Jungceylon Shopping Center is a large mall close by. Kalim Beach, a quieter stretch of sand, is 550 m from the villa. Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong and one of the island's most revered temples, is 7.9 km away, and Phuket FantaSea, a large theatre and theme park complex, is 5.7 km away.

A day could start on Patong Beach, continue with shopping at Jungceylon and end with an evening on Bangla Road or in the villa's hot tub. For a day out, the Big Buddha stands on a hilltop above the island, and Wat Chalong is one of the island's most visited temples. Both make a good contrast with the beach and the nightlife of Patong.
