Staying in a villa is always fun – but some villas are extra fun. From private cinemas to fun filled playgrounds and rooftop Jacuzzis, these villas are fully loaded for having a good time with your crew.
Palm Villa pulls out all the stops to entertain you and your crew. From top to bottom, this villa was designed for having a good time. The most epic feature is probably the rooftop Jacuzzi – it’s actually the largest private Jacuzzi in Thailand. Offering sweeping views of the neighbouring rice fields, the Jacuzzi can easily seat a group of 40(!) guests.
And there’s more! One level below the Jacuzzi is the villa’s “Wine Spa.” This sleek, man-made grotto features a saltwater pool flanked by a fully stocked bar. The waterfall feature really takes this spectacular space to the next level.
When you’re not busy enjoying the pools, you can kick back in the cinema room, work up a sweat in the gym, or sneak off to the villa’s “secret” pub. The pub features a flawlessly designed bar (complete with backlit bottle cabinets displaying your favourite spirits), pool table, darts, and board games. Let the games begin!
Canggu has fast become party central in Bali. If you’re looking to host a private party in this trendy district, this is the villa for it.
The villa features an epic, underground party room that’s fully loaded with DJ and karaoke gear, huge sofas, two TV screens, and a swanky lit up bar. This room is so decked out that you do need to pay an extra fee to use it – but if you’re really looking to PARTY, it’s definitely worth it. It’s like having your own private nightclub!
If you’re heading to Canggu with a large group, you can book this villa in conjunction with Villa Elite Tara. Together, the two villas offer 14 bedrooms, two swimming pools, and huge living and dining areas. It’s everything you need for an epic stay in Canggu.
Villa Enjoy certainly lives up to its name as it’s very, very easy to enjoy life to the fullest at this Phuket stunner. The villa offers seemingly endless lawns to run around on (you can also play a game of croquet, badminton or basketball), and the 18-metre-long pool is obviously pretty hard to resist. The design is packed with fun and whimsy, from the rainbow hued beanbags by the pool to the multi-coloured lights that bring the villa to life after nightfall.
The living areas are made for fun and games. Challenge your mates to a game of pool or work your way through the 999 games(!) loaded on the arcade games system – will it be Mario Bros, Mortal Kompat, or Tekken?
While every TV in the house is hooked up to Netflix, we doubt you’ll have much use for them – there’s just too much fun to be had elsewhere! We love the sunken lounge by the pool, but the scenic rooftop terrace is obviously the best place to hang out and have fun.
Reign over your own Balinese kingdom at Permata Ayung. This sprawling estate is set amid magical Balinese gardens and gazes over a sacred river and picture-perfect paddy fields. You and your group will have a blast darting from pavilion to pavilion, discovering fun features and luxe surprises behind every ornately carved Balinese door.
There’s a lacquered grand piano in the main living pavilion (who’s up for some singalongs?), and each of the 12(!) bedrooms boast the most amazing ensuite bathroom. The villa’s cinema features sculpted green seats, with the next-door bar serving as your very own speakeasy.
But the most amazing feature has got to be the villa’s spa. This bamboo cathedral was designed by Elora Hardy and sits right above the Ayung River. It’s arguably the most beautiful and exclusive spa on the whole island.
Powderhouse might just be the most fun-filled chalet in the Hakuba Valley. Located less than five minutes from the Goryu and Hakuba 47 ski lifts, this six-bedroom chalet is fully loaded for hosting epic apres-ski get-togethers.
The huge living room offers plenty of room to relax and have fun together as a group, with a cosy fireplace adding ambiance. The chalet has a fun games lounge with a pool table and bar, so there’s really little reason to venture outside in search of apres-ski fun.
This chalet also has what is arguably the best private cinema in Hakuba. The room is decked out with a huge 75-inch screen, plush leather lounges, and state-of-the-art AV equipment. It’s absolutely perfect for hosting a movie night with your mates. And after a long day of skiing, who could resist a soak in the chalet’s huge snow view bathtub?
This beachfront estate in East Bali is like the most luxurious playground, filled with fun, games, and delightful surprises. A private pool is a given – though the jump tower definitely adds some extra oomph. The rooms are divided into standalone pavilions scattered between palm trees. This makes exploring the grounds all the more fun.
As you wander through the estate, you’ll discover an underground cinema which can also be transformed into a karaoke room or even your very own nightclub. The games room features pool and foosball tables flanked by a swanky bar; the outdoor “jungle gym” is perfect for monkeying around; and the spa with its infrared sauna and ice bath looks directly into the pool through glass panels.
Keeping everyone entertained could not be easier – did we mention that the villa also has its own private restaurant?
Praana Residence is the crowning jewel of Koh Samui. Perched on a hilltop, this villa presides over this paradise island and offers sweeping views of the clear blue ocean. The villa is designed in opulent Thai style that feels almost regal. It’s fitting really as the villa offers amenities and extras that are truly fit for royalty.
Let’s see, where should we start? Of course, we have to mention the fabulous, 25-metre-long infinity pool, though that is far from the most dazzling feature here. That accolade would have to go either to the villa’s private tennis court or its exclusive Muay Thai boxing ring – though we’re also partial to the 10-seater cinema with its La-Z-Boy recliners.
Kids will obviously love the playroom while the grownups can duke it out in the games room. The villa also has a fully equipped gym and a spa room and sauna for soothing those sore muscles.
This Cambodian villa was made for fun and play. Its sprawling gardens are packed with fun surprises that will delight guests of all ages. Kids will have a blast running around the outdoor playground or hosting tea parties up in the treehouse. Then there’s the archery range with solid and moving targets, a climbing wall, swing set, trampoline… And the list goes on.
Kiddos and grownups alike will appreciate the villa’s 18-metre-long pool. The pool goes from 1.4 metres to 3.7 metres deep and of course, there’s a fun diving platform to boot.
When the kids are busy running around the gardens, parents can relax in the woodfired sauna, followed by a refreshing dip in the adjoining ice bath… or perhaps you’d prefer a lazy nap in the hammock instead?
This one’s for the cinephiles! Villa Splash has one of the best private cinemas we’ve seen, complete with a three-metre-wide screen and plush recliner seats for up to 20 guests. When you’re not busy bingeing on your favourite movies, the villa has plenty of other fun features to keep you occupied as well.
Villa Splash was designed by the award winning GFAB Architects so you know you’re in for a world of high design. Built on a clifftop, the villa’s fabulous infinity pool offers mesmerising views of the ocean, with the nearby conversation pit offering an equally scenic setting for group hangs.
Shoot a game of pool in the games room, work up a sweat in the Life Fitness gym, or enjoy a relaxing massage in the spa room – this villa is all about following your bliss.
Embrace the great outdoors at this sprawling Sri Lankan estate. Villa Mine is surrounded by enormous, 9,000 square metre gardens so there’s plenty of room for your group to let loose and explore. And oh, what fun you’ll have!
The most unique feature is arguably the floodlit skate bowl – unless it’s the swimmable lake at the heart of the property? If you’re feeling less adventurous, there’s also a swimming pool to splash around in, complete with a generous shallow ledge for the kids.
Those massive gardens also have a slackline and a trampoline, while the open plan games room allows you to play some billiards surrounded by the tropics. When you need a break from the elements, the villa also has a cool media room where you can all gather up on the sofa and host a movie night.
