V is for Vijitt and V is for Victory. And I have to say, The Vijitt Resort on Friendship Beach Ruwai, Phuket is victorious when it comes to fending off its rivals in the stakes for exclusiveness and sophistication. The Villas have an indomitable presence in the big world of resorts undoubtedly, as the founding family in my mind, have not spared any comfort they would not afford themselves whilst taking some time off.
The 92 Thai Villas are brilliant white which in turn accentuates the colour scheme of the building’s trimmings and
natural-surrounding foliage. The manicured gardens and undulating landscape add extra appeal to an already exotic look and feel.
When walking towards the beach area, there’s no escaping those propped ruby-red umbrellas overlooking the sea with its infinity pool in the forefront we see in those glossy magazines – upon first sight, there was a realisation this view truly does exist. As a non-swimmer (some of the time) I noticed each day how calm the sea was in Chalong Bay which I’d imagine would be a relief to anyone with small children.
My rating -good enough to live in - and would love to. The Vijitt has upped the ante for any nearby contenders when it comes to facilities and service. The bedroom/living area had a full-length work surface directly behind the bed head which allowed me to work whilst having an external outside view, or watch the full-screen TV and not compromise any floor space.
There was a separate dressing and bath area with the rain shower outside giving a sense of freedom with privacy. My only concern being so tall was the down lights in the bathroom were a little too low for me and not quite bright enough.
I’m being nitpicky but that’s my personal opinion.
There was a free shuttle service at varying times and the choices were Nai Harn Beach, Coral Island, Central Festival Phuket Town or Patong with a timed return service each day.
Breakfast was well catered for with coffee being brought to the table occasioning a smart casual café feel whilst overlooking the Bay. I like how the hot food bar had clear glass lids so you can see what’s inside without having to keep opening each one before making a decision of what to eat.
The staff in all areas of the property can converse on many levels with overseas guests as they try very hard to please wherever possible. At all times I was made to feel welcome and without doubt worthy of a return visit.
