The Rising Sun Residence is an enclave of 12 upscale villas sitting on a lovely hillside with views over Chalong Bay and the Chalong Temple below. Exclusive and quiet, the property offers a host of special amenities for guests who book villas directly, including a dedicated personal chauffeur each day during their stay and a free welcome Thai massage. Rates are surprisingly reasonable and breakfast is included -- and delivered to the rooms. Villas are spacious and elegant, some with private pools. However, while the villas have air-conditioned bedrooms, they have only fans in the living areas.

Villa Zolitude Resort and Spa is a four-and-a-half pearl, all-villa property with one major difference from most of its luxury competitors: it's set in the rain forest of Phuket and not on the beach. For those who are more interested in visiting Wat Chalong Temple or Phukana Golf Course, the location is convenient. Each of the 45 stylish villas has an individual pool and outdoor living room space. The largest villas have four bedrooms. Free minibar snacks and Wi-Fi are nice touches. Though kids are welcome here, Zense Spa, Thai cooking classes, and a small infinity-edge pool with fiber optic lights for swimming at night are more appealing to couples than families. Prices are on the high side for Phuket, though a breakfast buffet and shuttle to Nai Harn Beach (a 30-minute ride) are nice freebies. If a sandy beach is a must-have, compare rates at the five-pearl Pullman Phuket Arcadia Naithon Beach -- it's cheaper and has private access to one of the best public beaches in Phuket.
