Three-bedroom villa with covered parking at Nicky Villas, Bang Tao

This three-bedroom, three-bathroom villa is part of Nicky Villas, a small development in Bang Tao on Phuket's west coast. The home is arranged around an open-plan kitchen, living and dining space that looks out over the pool terrace, with an outdoor dining area alongside.

Practical touches include covered parking behind automatic gates and security within the complex. Bang Tao itself puts the Laguna resort area, its beach clubs, restaurants and supermarkets within a short drive of the villa.

The property is available for long stays or holiday lets, with rates on request. Single-level layouts of this kind tend to work well for families with younger children, and the matching bedroom and bathroom count makes sharing straightforward.
