Surin, long nicknamed "Millionaire's Mile", packs designer villas, boutique resorts and one of Phuket's prettiest beaches into a compact stretch of prime west-coast hillside.
If you are searching for surin villas for rent, you are looking in one of the island's most rewarding markets. On this page you will find our up-to-date selection of villas for rent in Surin, together with everything you need to know about the area, the renting process and what makes Surin special.
Surin's reputation was built on its hillside estates overlooking the Andaman Sea — the original luxury address of Phuket. The beach below is a perfect crescent of white sand and clear water, framed by rocky headlands that keep it intimate.
Buyers choose Surin for its position: squeezed between Bang Tao and Kamala, it sits at the centre of the west coast's best dining and beach-club scene while remaining a residential, low-rise neighbourhood.
Surin's market mixes sea-view luxury villas, boutique condominiums a short walk from the sand, and renovation opportunities in established estates. Supply is structurally limited by the hillside topography, supporting long-term values.
Typical villas for rent in Surin feature:
Our portfolio for surin villas for rent changes weekly as new listings arrive and the best villas are taken — if you do not see the right match below, contact us and we will source it.

Long-term rentals in Phuket usually run from six to twelve months, with one-year leases the standard for the best homes. Renting through Empire Estates Phuket is free for tenants — our fee is paid by the owner — and follows a simple path:
Rental prices in Phuket typically include garden and pool maintenance for villas; electricity and water are metered separately. We will always clarify exactly what is included before you commit.
Renting before (or instead of) buying is often the smartest way to experience Phuket. A long-term lease lets you test a neighbourhood through both high and green seasons, understand your real running costs, and stay flexible. Sea-view properties around Surin rent exceptionally well in high season, and the area's prestige keeps resale demand strong among international buyers.
Many of our long-term tenants eventually become buyers — and because we know both markets, we can structure your search so that today's rental shortlist doubles as tomorrow's purchase research.
