Phuket Ocean Villas and Subtropical Surin Sunsets

The west coast of Phuket is amongst the best destinations in the whole of Asia to enjoy wondrous sunset views. Property development companies have been quick to take advantage of our desire for sunset views, especially in Phuket. The island’s west coast is primarily the main tourist stretch due not only to the sunsets, but also the direct relationship with the Andaman Ocean, which makes the beaches some of the best in Thailand.

Although Patong was one of the first major tourist spots in Phuket, those who reside on the island that do not have a business in Patong usually live in other west coast regions such as Karon, Kata, Nai Harn, Rawai, Kamala, Bang Tao and Surin. The last name in that illustrious line of west coast destinations has been dubbed ‘Millionaire’s Row’. Surin is the main location for Phuket ocean villas, with megastars such as Madonna holidaying there from time to time. The draw of this once sleepy fishing village is its laidback mentality, beautiful mountainous scenery and an exclusive reputation that sets it apart from its neighboring beachside locations.

With the world famous Laguna Phuket resort and estate within close proximity and its excellent Banyan Tree Golf course and spa, Surin has garnered a reputation as an high-end resort. Some of the Phuket ocean villas within Surin can set you back several million US Dollars. Some of its mountainous terrain makes the ideal spot to construct palatial abodes that enhance those dramatic Phuket sunsets.

Surin has recently gone through a mini-boom with its holiday rental properties. Because many of the Surin expatriates only frequent Phuket for a few months every year, there is always an abundance of holiday rental villas. This has ensured Surin has become a great place for holidaymakers looking for a five-star villa within this exclusive area. Surin is home to a selection of top quality restaurants such as the Catch Beach Club and the trendy Stereo Lab, both of which are positioned directly on Surin Beach. These are some of the best spots for catching the sunset while being surrounded by beautiful people within an ultra-chic environment.

Another convenient feature of holidaying in Surin is that you are centrally located so you can be at Patong or Phuket International Airport within a 20 minute drive. Renting Phuket ocean villas in Surin is really taking off. Not only is the village less crowded than the Kata's and Karon's of this world, but it is a great place to take a real family holiday. The area is fundamentally a tourist region popular with families and couples, whilst the hedonistic singles usually opt for Patong, Karon and Kata to quench their thirst.

Make sure you take advantage of the array of Phuket ocean villas in Surin, because this beachside destination really is classy and attracts those who enjoy the finer things in life. Next time you are booking your Phuket holiday, be sure to give Surin some consideration. If it’s good enough for Madonna, it’s good enough for you!
