We put together a list of the best senior and elderly-friendly villas in Phuket with world-class features and amenities designed with the guests’ safety and ease in mind. For instance, villas with ramps, handrails, stair lifts, and elevators are a huge plus for easier access and mobility. Wider corridors and more spacious common rooms to accommodate guests who use walkers or wheelchairs are also important. Rugs, carpets, and floors are also non-slip and textured for safety.
Some of the luxury villas also have motion lights especially in the bathrooms and the hallways to make trips at night safer and easier. Direct and ambient lighting across all rooms, hallways, doorways, and living areas are also considered. These villas also offer plenty of cushioned seats and recliners, chairs with back support, and sensible furniture both indoors and outdoors so guests can comfortably sit back and relax anywhere on the property.
