Thailand has become one of the popular countries in the world for travelers seeking affordable luxury, with everything from 5 star hotels, to Michelin star restaurants, and private luxury villas available for less.
Budget travelers and backpackers can often get by in Thailand for US $25 per day, but most of us have a lot more to spend. And what might get you a 3 star hotel in some of the world’s more expensive cities like London, Paris, or New York, can often translate into a stay in a million dollar villa in Phuket.
A country that offers some of the best value for the money, a trip to Thailand gives everyday travelers the unique opportunity to shoot higher than 5 star hotels, and as such, private luxury villas have become the trend.
One of our favorite private luxury villas in the Eats & Retreats collection, we have put together a photo tour of Villa Iorama; but fair warning … these photos might make you want to book a flight to Phuket!!
Photo Tour of Villa Iorama
A Private Luxury Villa in Nai Harn Beach, Phuket
Set in a private villas compound 3-minute drive from Naiharn Beach, Iorama is a two bedroom villa by Tropiclook, with all the comforts and modern commodities travelers have come to expect (like complimentary WiFi).
The villa features an 8×3 meter swimming pool amid lush gardens, with a fully equipped Western kitchen, six seater dining suite, and living area with sofas and pop-up LCD TV.
Located in Nai Harn Beach on the southernmost strip of sand in Phuket, locals love the location just as much as visitors. “Picture gleaming white sands bordered by grassy knolls and rolling cerulean waves, and you’ll start to be able to imagine the beauty of this seemingly remote spot.”
There are only a few hotels in this tranquil area and it is a beautiful anchorage for yachts during the high season (as well as a popular place to swim). There are many authentic restaurants within walking distance, including Thai, French, German, Italian, Swiss and many others, as well as local food markets.

This looks AMAZING. I would love to stay in a villa with my family. My kids have never left their home country and I want to show them the world!
Doesn’t it! Good luck with the giveaway :) Thailand is a great country as a first to visit with kids :)
Naiharn Meg! Best part of the island. We always stay in Rawai, so Naiharn is our beach of choice. Feels like home to me. Horse shoe shaped bay, peaceful surroundings, tip of the island. Close to Promthep Cape too. Glorious and what a giveaway.

The villa looks absolutely stunning. I hope we win! If not it is such an inexpensive place to visit. This might have to be our first country outside of the US to visit.
Doesn’t it! Good luck in the competition! And yes, I can highly recommend Thailand if you’re looking for a great first family trip; it’s very affordable, and very family friendly :)
Its so hard to choose just one but my fave is the villa 180 Samui. My hubs and I cannot wait to visit Thailand, maybe we could win and get there sooner!!!!

OMG, I’m so in love with Shadow Villa in Koh Samui – the curved roofs, the balconies and loungers, the free-standing bathtubs, the infinity pool, the beautiful views.
https://www.eatsandretreats.com/villas/villa6106.html
Totally agree with you – one of my favorites too! Thanks for your entry – good luck in the draw!
Pointe Sud in Sri Lanka looks like an incredible villa and experience! I must do this at some point and learn more about my roots (my parents and ancestors are from Sri Lanka).
Oooh I haven’t spotted that one yet – jumping over to their website to search for it now :) Tracing your ancestry would make for such an incredible trip. I’m hoping to do this in Ireland at some point soon too.
Although we spend a large part of the year in Thailand we have yet to visit this resort in Phuket. Looks like a wonderful place to unwind for a few days.
Can highly recommend if you head back soon :) Good luck in the giveaway! Maybe that would give you an excuse :D
This seems like an amazing place and a lovely pool
Doesn’t it! Wish I could have one in my own backyard too!
Would love a vacay in Thailand!
Good luck in the giveaway! Hope you have the chance to travel soon :)
I just entered this! I really want to win it looks stunning. Look at that pool
Fabulous Cory! Good luck in the draw … and I know, I want that pool in my backyard too!
Nai Harn Beach sounds like my kind of beach. Except I’m not sure I’d be able to peel myself away from such a luxurious villa. Either way, fingers crossed I have a lucky entry. :D
It’s a bit like that!! I don’t blame you :D Good luck in the draw :)
Winning this would be a dream, especially since I have not yet traveled to Thailand!
Good luck Howard! Thanks for your entry :)
Entered (16/16)!!! A 4-night stay at Villa Iorama, Phuket would be awesome!I am imagining myself and my 3 buddies in front of your lovely photos having a great time.
Thanks for your entry Ash – good luck in the draw!
The villas in Phuket certainly are luxurious! Couldn’t think of a better way to spend my ways in paradise!
Good luck in the draw! Thank for your entry Raul :)
I entered. Pick me. :D
Good luck! Random draw so I can’t be bias :D
I love Thailand! And this place looks amazing too. Thanks much!!!
Who doesn’t love Thailand right :D! Thanks for your entry Steve :)
I’d love to go back to Thailand and the villa looks like the perfect place to stay!
Maybe this would be the perfect excuse :D Good luck in the giveaway!
What an awesome opportunity! I would absolutely love to visit here and experience all this beauty!
Thanks for your entry Kevin!
What an amazing collection!! That’s what I call ultimate paradise. If you are going to put me on the spot to choose a favorite area, I would have to go with Bali…would I say no to any of these breathtaking villas??? NO!!!!!! I would be there in a heartbeat. They look amazing and definitely on our radar for a future trip to this region.
They really do have such an incredible collection of villas at Eats & Retreats – and Bali in particular! I can highly recommend a villa stay for your upcoming trip; Villa Amy in Bali is my personal favorite if you’re heading that way :)
Looks beautiful! Visiting such places is so out of my regular travels that I must win! :)
Good luck! Thanks for your entry :)
This giveaway is amazing! I’m visiting Thailand in July to August and Phuket is on the list just we haven’t got anywhere to stay at the moment, so winning this would be a dream come true!
Perfect timing for you then! Good luck in the giveaway – and either way, enjoy your time in Thailand!
That’s amazing! We would love a villa holiday in Phuket! It’s been on our bucketlist for far too long!
I hope you have the opportunity to visit soon! Thanks for your entry .. good luck!
Haven’t had a chance to look at their portfolio yet but the villa looks amazing
If you find yourself planning a holiday to SE Asia definitely check out their collection of villas – it makes for an unfortgettable vacation :)
Look amazing! Would love to get this! I’ve never been to Thailand, ha :)
Maybe winning this would give you an excuse to visit :D God luck!
Villa Iorama in Phuket looks fabulous. We are heading to Bangkok later in the year, if I win, I will be tacking on Phuket.
Doesn’t it! Good luck! Thanks for your entry Rhonda :)
I’m going back to Thailand soon and would love to be the lucky one! Fingers crossed! :-)
Good luck! Thanks for your entry Pedro :)
Winning this would be a great excuse to return to Thailand! And in a luxury villa too. :)
Good luck Jan! Thanks for your entry :)
Hard to choose my favorite they all look breathtaking!
Choosing a favorite is definitely the most difficult part!!
Nothing beats Thailand and there wonderful resorts and villas, it screams out paradise and we all want a dose of that. Villa Iorama looks to be very appropriate for my family of 4.
Absolutely Anthony – definitely one of the most beautiful countries in the world! And the luxury vs affordability is on another level! Villa Iorama is a great choice for a family of 4 – good luck in the draw!
Can’t wait to be back in Phuket again. Villa Thousand Hills and Villa Iorama both look amazing. Both at Nai Harn. But there isn’t one villa that doesn’t look amazing.
Hope you have the opportunity to head back soon Art – you’re right, it’s quite difficult to choose a favorite when they’re all quite incredible! Good luck in the draw :)
I’m always looking for an environmentally-aware stay, so it’s a bit hard to say which villa would be my favourite, even though I’ve scrolled through many! I’ll need to do a bit more research, but I like the look of Blue Lagoon in Hua Hin, Thailand. I’ve only been to Hua Hin once years ago and I’d love to go again. Would be great to see an option to filter villas that are a bit more ‘green’.
Great recommendation Jen, I’ll pass on your feedback about developing a green filter to the Eats & Retreats team – they have many villas in their collection which are environmentally friendly and set among pristine surrounds, so it would definitely be great to highlight them :)
Love this giveaway so full of luscious luxury ideas. I’d love to go resort diving or spend time in a Lake Como villa. Can’t wait to take pictures & videos there. Imagine the drone shots that that, like my vacation memories, will replay for a lifetime.
Thailand is a great place for resort diving! Hope you have the chance to travel soon Elaine :)
Was looking for a place where we can spend our 3rd year wedding anniversary and this place is on my list but sadly when I tried to contact the villa it’s already booked. :( Hopefully by next year, we can experience the luxury and enjoy the magnificent pool of this resort.
Sorry to hear that it’s already booked Luke. Definitely keep it in mind for future trips though. Thailand is such an incredible destination, I have no doubt you’ll have an amazing anniversary!
Thanks for sharing this informative article. I will follow your instructions on my next tour.
You’re welcome Louis, I’m glad we could give you a bit of a villa tour :) Have a great trip!
