Preferred Boutique, the intimate resort specialist, has just announced its latest hideaway adventure in Phuket, Thailand

The Andara Resort sits on the West Coast of Kamala bay and consists of 26 free-standing villas and 37 suites. They're all rather lovely, with glorious views of the Andaman Sea that make it worth having your glasses on when you open the curtains in the morning.

The villas range from 1200-1500 sq foot so you've got enough space to play some indoor football. But best of all get your own kitchen with a private chef and a 24-hour live in attendant. How soothing does that all sound?

If you've got children or even friends you're happy to see sun-creaming up, then you can get a suite with up to 4 bedrooms. Most have their own private pool, with some even placed on the villas' rooftops. Which is very cool.

The rest of the resort is as you'd expect. Swimming Pool. Tennis Courts. Gym. Spa. And so on. There's also a couple of boats available if you felt like exploring the surrounding islands.

So if you're game...
