A day among the limestone islands and a gentle morning with elephants.
Calm water, slow mornings and time to be looked after.
Temples, cocktails and a Thai feast you cook yourselves.
Eight nights, one private villa, and seven people worth knowing.
Slow mornings at the villa, a driver for the days you want to explore, and evenings that are your own. You unpack once.
Slow. Most of the week is yours to shape.
Phuket is Thailand's largest island, on the Andaman Sea.

What the £2,295 covers, and what it doesn't.
Included
Not included
You book your own flights. Your 10GB of data is our founding gift.
Our first villa is Villa Coral in Nai Harn. We confirm the villa for your week once it goes ahead.
Nai Harn is in the quiet south of the island. Your driver takes you to everything on the map, and boats for Phang Nga Bay leave from the east coast.
You fly into Phuket International Airport (HKT). Airport transfers on arrival and departure are included. We share the best arrival and departure times for your week when we confirm it goes ahead, so you can book flights knowing the plan.
Of course. Nothing is compulsory. If you would rather stay at the villa or do your own thing, just tell us.
We only visit a park where the elephants roam freely. There is no riding, no bathing and no touching. You walk with them and help prepare their food.
Flights, travel insurance, the meals and drinks that are not included, and anything extra you choose to do. Before you travel we send a short guide with typical local prices.
Rooms are ready from 3pm, Phuket time, and you leave the villa by 11am on your last day. If your flight lands earlier, tell us and we'll help you plan the morning.
Twice a month from February to May 2027. Every date is listed here and on our Trip Calendar.
January to April is Phuket's dry season: warm, sunny and calm seas. May is the start of the wet season, so expect hotter days and the odd tropical downpour, usually short and in the afternoon.
Usually not. If your application leaves us with questions, we'll invite you to a short WhatsApp chat at a time that suits you.
Once your application is approved, you can pay a £500 deposit or the full £2,295 to secure your place. After a deposit, you can pay the £1,795 balance any time before its due date, 60 days before departure. If you secure your place within 60 days of departure, you pay the full £2,295, once the departure is confirmed. Paying in full does not confirm that the trip is going ahead; please wait for SKYMIA confirmation before booking flights.
Every trip needs at least 6 of its 8 places confirmed before we ask for the balance. If it doesn't reach 6, we'll tell you before you pay anything more, and you can move to another date or have your deposit refunded in full.
Before you fly, your group chooses one of four packages together. It's included in the price, and our driver takes you to and from each experience. We confirm the final details with our partners before your week.
No. We arrange the villa, the driver, the dinners and your experience package. The rest of your time is yours, together or apart.
Every trip is for one of our two age groups, 30 to 49 or 50 to 67, so you travel with people at a similar stage of life. We aim for a mix of men and women in every group, but we can't guarantee it. Above all, each group is chosen for how well people will get on.
Nobody does at first. That's the point. Everyone applies individually, and the private WhatsApp group means you'll know a few faces before you land.
Yes. Every founding member gets a 10GB eSIM, sent before you fly, so you're online the moment you land. It works on most recent phones.
Flights, travel insurance, any visa fees, meals beyond the eight breakfasts, five lunches and two group dinners, extra activities, and personal spending.
It depends on your nationality. Many can visit Thailand visa free for short stays, but please check the current rules for your passport before booking flights.
