Peykaa Estate Pool Villa by HCR

Peykaa Estate Pool Villa by HCR Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Peykaa Estate Pool Villa by HCR, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from this four-star property tucked away in Phuket Town. The estate setting immediately caught my attention — it’s not your typical hotel complex, but rather feels like you’re staying at someone’s really nice private residence. The fact that there’s parking right on-site was actually a relief, especially since navigating Phuket’s busier areas can be a bit of a headache with a rental car.

The Villa Experience

What really sets this place apart is that you’re getting an entire villa, not just a room. I mean, the space is genuinely impressive — you’ve got your own private pool (which, let’s be honest, is why most people book this place), and the layout feels more like a vacation home than a hotel stay. The kitchen is fully equipped, which came in handy when we wanted to grab some local ingredients from the nearby markets and cook something simple. You know what surprised me most? How quiet it was, despite being reasonably close to Phuket Town’s action.

Location Perks

The location really works well if you want to explore the real Phuket beyond just the beach scene. You’re about a 15-minute drive from the Old Town area, where you can actually experience some authentic local culture and food. The staff mentioned that couples particularly love this spot, and I can see why — there’s something romantic about having your own private space with that pool. Plus, being slightly removed from the main tourist strips means you get better value and a more authentic feel of the area.

Pool and Relaxation

Let’s talk about the main attraction — that private swimming pool. It’s not Olympic-sized, but it’s perfect for cooling off during those hot Phuket afternoons. The hot tub feature was actually a nice touch that I wasn’t expecting from the photos. Honestly, we ended up spending way more time at the villa than I initially planned, just because it was so comfortable lounging by the pool with a cold drink. The outdoor space is well-designed too, with enough seating areas that you don’t feel cramped.

Why Guests Love It

After staying here, I totally understand why this place gets such high ratings. It’s that perfect balance of privacy and convenience — you feel like you’re in your own little retreat, but you’re not stuck in the middle of nowhere. The villa gives you the freedom to do your own thing (cook breakfast, swim whenever you want, relax without crowds), while still being close enough to restaurants and attractions when you want to venture out. For couples especially, this hits that sweet spot of romantic privacy without the isolation that some remote properties can have.

Phuket’s hotels showcase the perfect blend of traditional Thai hospitality and modern luxury, with many featuring infinity pools and authentic Thai spa experiences overlooking the Andaman Sea.
