Villa Bukit by Holiplanet

Tucked in Rawai, this private villa sits close to Nai Harn Beach and landmarks like Kata View Point, Promthep Cape, Big Buddha and the Seashell Museum. Walkable to the city center, it’s a beach-near retreat with a private-pool vibe.

Modern, air-conditioned rooms open onto private balconies or patios and feature a flat-screen TV and a deep soaking tub in the bathroom. A full kitchen and private outdoor pool make this a slick spot for couples or small groups wanting space and self-catering comfort.

Private outdoor pool, BBQ area, on-site tour desk and optional transfer service keep things easy and active. Laundry and dry-cleaning are available, plus designated smoking areas — and you’ll likely wake up to sea-breeze mornings thanks to the nearby coast.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected and free self-parking is available onsite.

A fully equipped kitchen with a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, oven and stovetop lets you self-cater, while the BBQ area is perfect for laid-back, local-flavor nights.
