Villa Alanna Phuket

The rooms at Villa Alanna Phuket are villas with two or three bedrooms. Some have a pool view, others a garden view, and one villa has its own private pool. Rooms can have individual air conditioning, a full kitchen, a separate living room, a balcony or terrace and a mini bar, and each villa sleeps between five and seven guests.

Bed set-ups vary from villa to villa and combine king beds, queen beds and single beds, so guests can choose the arrangement that suits their group. Some villas have a bathtub or a whirlpool bathtub in the bathroom, and rooms can have bathrobes and a hair dryer.

The grounds have an outdoor swimming pool, a spa with a sauna, a fitness centre, a garden and a terrace, along with a shared lounge and TV area. Massage is offered, and the property also has a playground and kids meals for younger guests, with English and Thai spoken.

Food options include room service, a snack bar and food delivery, and there are private BBQ facilities. Laundry service and daily housekeeping are offered, together with tours, car hire, a shuttle service and an airport transfer. Free parking is on site, and free WiFi is available in all rooms. A family room and kids meals are also offered, as well as children's books and toys.

Villa Alanna Phuket is in the Bang Thao area of Cherng Talay, in Thalang district, the part of Phuket away from the busy Patong strip. The area is calmer than Patong, and the villas give guests room to spread out, with greenery around the property and villas set back from the roads, while Phuket's airport and main beaches are a short drive away.

Bang Tao Beach, a long stretch of sand, is 2.2 km away, and the Wat Choeng Thale pagoda is 1.2 km away. Phuket FantaSea, the cultural show and theme park, is 5.2 km away, and Patong Beach, with Bangla Road, is 10.2 km away. Phuket International Airport is 12.5 km away, and car hire is offered at the property for trips to the beaches and temples across the island, with the night market close by.

A day could start with a swim at Bang Tao Beach, then a visit to Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), the best-known temple on the island, before returning for the afternoon by the pool. The Big Buddha, a large statue on a hilltop, is further away, and in the evening a night market is close to the property, while Patong's nightlife is a drive away.
