Give Your Loved One The Perfect Honeymoon or Anniversary Gift With A Villa Vacation In Phuket

Love is in the air every day it seems, with unexpected proposals, wedding day celebrations and, of course, the most magical vacation of anyone’s life, the honeymoon. If you’re not planning a big day in 2019 or 2020, then the chances are that you know someone who is. These nuptials, as well as anniversaries amongst friends and family, are romantic rites of passage that celebrate the true power of love, heartfelt commitment.

It’s no surprise that couples want to share the best times ever with a loved one to celebrate each milestone. At the same time, newlyweds want to create unforgettable memories in a dream destination. The perfect honeymoon and anniversary is undoubtedly a romantic luxury villa stay on the amazing island of Phuket in Thailand. Whilst couples may book themselves, the experience makes a thoughtful gift from friends and family who want to treat a special twosome.

The ‘Pearl of the Andaman Sea’, Phuket is all white-sand beaches and turquoise waters with some of the most outstanding villa rentals possible. With each area offering a different vibe, Phuket can be tranquil or hedonistic and is a gourmet food destination. Meanwhile, a private villa is far more intimate than a hotel full of guests. Whether chic and contemporary or with romantic, Asian-design influences, villas are unique and the right style and setting can be picked to be a perfect match with any couple, with an ambiance and facilities that fit with who they are and what they want to do.

Activities For Couples In Phuket

It may be tempting to lounge on the beach or a villa’s infinity pool all day long, especially with Phuket’s year-round sunshine, but discovering new experiences together is part of any honeymoon or anniversary celebration vacation. Here are a few ideas for activities that couples can do together in Phuket:

Relax into a spa treat

Thailand is renowned for its wellness treatments. A soothing oil massage for two is a wonderful way to end the day or to enjoy mid-afternoon as a break from the sun. Phuket offers holistic wellbeing for the mind, body and beyond, promising total relaxation.

Dine in a fabulous and romantic restaurant

From dining nests in the treetops to a candlelit table for two on the sands, Phuket is renowned for its fine-dining eateries. Couples can choose a romantic setting every night of their stay with twinkling lights, the stars up above and luxurious menus.

Set out on an island-hopping excursion

When couples wed, they embark on a journey of discovery and a day out exploring Phuket’s surrounding islands celebrates that shared sense of adventure; from nearby Koh Khai Island and the Racha Islands to Phang Nga Bay, Coral Island, and the Phi Phi Islands.

Enjoy a sunset cruise on the Andaman Sea

Phuket has an international reputation for its yachting calendar, attracting many superyachts. With such a strong boating culture, there are plenty of luxury cruisers for couples to quaff Champagne with canapes and watch the sun go down on yet another beautiful day.

Feel the rush of watersports

Just as relationships are about balance, so too is any romantic vacation, and Phuket is an absolute must-stay destination for watersport lovers. PADI courses, snorkel trips, and paddle boarding, sea cave kayaking and kite surfing, Phuket offers it all with a climate for sailing too.

Soak up the ambiance of temples and Old Phuket Town

Phuket’s 45-meter Big Buddha hilltop statue reminds visitors of Thailand’s spiritual beliefs, whilst temples offer couples the chance to explore their inner selves and connect on a higher plane. In the evocative Old Town, the island’s rich history comes alive.
