Private Villa Retreat, 10-Min Walk to Bangtao Beach at The Residence Resort Overview
I’ll be honest – when I first heard the name Private Villa Retreat, 10-Min Walk to Bangtao Beach at The Residence Resort, I thought it was a bit of a mouthful. But you know what? Once you’re actually there, the name makes perfect sense because that’s exactly what you get.
The villa sits tucked away in this quiet residential area that feels worlds apart from the busier parts of Phuket, yet Bangtao Beach is genuinely just a ten-minute stroll down the road – I timed it myself on day two because I’m that kind of person. What struck me immediately was how this four-star property manages to feel both secluded and accessible at the same time. The villa itself has this lovely private pool area where you can actually hear the waves in the distance if you listen carefully, especially in the early morning when the motorbike traffic dies down. I mean, there’s something pretty special about having your own little oasis while knowing one of Phuket’s best beaches is right there when you want it.
The space inside is surprisingly roomy – I’ve stayed in plenty of places that call themselves villas but feel more like glorified hotel rooms. This isn’t one of those. The kitchen is actually functional (rare in vacation rentals, honestly), and the bedrooms have these big windows that let in this gorgeous filtered light through the tropical plants outside. What I really appreciated was the attention to small details that you don’t always get – proper hangers in the closets, enough power outlets near the beds, and a shower with decent water pressure. The AC runs quietly too, which matters more than you’d think when you’re trying to sleep off jet lag.
The walk to Bangtao Beach takes you past some local shops and a couple of family-run restaurants that most tourists never discover – there’s this little place that does incredible pad thai for about 80 baht that became my regular lunch spot. The beach itself is this long stretch of soft sand that’s never too crowded, even during peak season. I actually prefer it to some of the more famous beaches because it has this laid-back vibe without the constant stream of vendors. You can rent kayaks right on the beach, and there are a few beachfront restaurants if you don’t feel like cooking back at the villa. The sunset views from that stretch of coast are honestly spectacular – I took way too many photos trying to capture them properly. Being able to watch the sunset over dinner and then walk back to your own private space in just a few minutes? That’s the kind of travel experience that stays with you long after you’ve unpacked your suitcase back home.
