Villa Borimas by Elite Havens

Villas at Villa Borimas by Elite Havens overlook either the sea or the pool, and a four-bedroom villa is also available for a larger party. Several of the villas sleep up to nine guests, so a group can stay together under one roof.

Depending on the villa, you can find a bathtub, a balcony or terrace, a full kitchen and a private pool, and air conditioning is available in the villas. The villas can also include a separate dining area, an in-room safe and bathrobes, and the property offers daily housekeeping.

Guests can use the outdoor swimming pool, the garden, the spa with massage and a sauna. Room service is offered, and the property is family and child friendly, with a crib or baby cot, a high chair, babysitting service and a kids meal.

Free parking is available on site and valet parking is also offered. Free WiFi is available in all rooms, with WiFi in public areas and internet services. Laundry service, daily housekeeping, luggage storage, car hire and a concierge are also offered, along with a grooming service and an airport transfer.

The kitchen has basics such as cookware, oils and condiments, and there is a BBQ grill, grocery delivery and food delivery. A breakfast takeaway service is available too, and the property also offers diving, fishing, snorkelling and an on-site golf course.

Surin is a calmer stretch of Phuket's coast than Patong, with Surin Beach 100 m from the villa. The area is quieter than the busier resort centres of the island, so it fits a relaxed holiday better than a night out. Phuket is joined to the mainland by a bridge, and the island's main roads connect the coast to the rest of the island, so a car or a taxi is a practical way to get around.

Laem Sing Beach, a small beach on the headland near Surin, is close by and makes a quiet alternative for a walk along the sand. Phuket FantaSea, the cultural theme park with an evening show, is 1.9 km away, and Patong Beach, home to the nightlife of Bangla Road, is 7.5 km away. Kamala Beach is also nearby, with its own restaurants and a more residential feel than Patong.

The Big Buddha, a large seated statue on a hilltop, is 16.5 km away, and Wat Chalong, one of Phuket's most revered temples, lies a longer journey across the island. Phuket International Airport is 15.7 km away. A day could combine a swim at Surin Beach, a visit to Wat Chalong and an evening at FantaSea.
