We found ourselves once again in Phuket, but this time we were looking for a special and somewhat less well-known place to stay. We got a little fed up with popular luxury hotels where dress-to-impress travellers check-in to take photos of them in the “famous” pool villas.

Luckily we came across this hidden gem in a prestigious private estate in West Phuket: Villa Baan Phu Prana private luxury boutique villa.
