Wow! My extended family had an incredible 2 weeks at Villa Sanyanga and hope we can return again. A stroll down the beach for a morning swim then return to the Villa, and what a place for us to hang out and chill. Having the minibus was super handy for trips. The food was amazing and the whole team so lovely. Very special experience. Thank you!!!

Dear Jacquie, thank you for everything. Your staff was fantastic, the Villa, divine. I went in with extremely high expectations given all the rave reviews, and even those high expectations were exceeded. Congrats to you and the team for doing this so well. Only downside, the entire group now bugs me daily to book Villa Sanyanga again :-).

Our wedding in Villa Sanyanga feels like a dream. It was the best day of our lives and we keep reliving it all through the photos!

The villa and services were extraordinary. Jodie and I have never experienced ANYTHING like your team in all our time in Thailand. Our family absolutely adored Lily and the whole crew. They were flawless, professional and on top of everything but at the same time relaxed and warm. Lily was the real star of the show. She organised an amazing wedding buffet which everyone raved about and then the next day we had a barbecue which was just as brilliant.

Nothing was too much trouble. Lily even gave us the tip of letting her get the flowers and cake as she was able to get them at a much cheaper price than anything we could find! Lily made such a genuine connection with our family, especially the kids. Everyone back home is still raving about the time they had at the villa and the bonds they built with the staff.

The whole team was so harmonious and matched our energy completely. Jeffrey and Joy were amazing with the bar and decorations, Aoy and Aom kept everything running perfectly in the villa / kitchen, and Jon was brilliant with transport. We trusted them fully and everything was so seamless. We honestly cannot speak more highly of the team.

It was honestly unbelievable Jacquie. This feels like a really poor attempt to put our experience into words. Everything was perfect. We will never be able to thank you enough...you and your team are very special.

All our love, Ciaran & Jodie McAloran ❤️

Was on a 3 day girls' trip and it is an amazing place with amazing staff. Jacquie, the owner, was super co-operative, very responsive and was extremely helpful. The villa has its own chef (Lily) who cooked us some great Thai dishes. The villa also arranges a van and a lovely lady driver (Joan) for airport pick-up and drop and to commute in Phuket, which is an added incentive. Geoffrey, Joy and the rest of the staff is very polite and helpful. Place is conveniently located with an amazing vibe and atmosphere.

I recently celebrated my 40th birthday with 13 girlfriends at Villa Sanyanga, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime! The villa exceeded all expectations with its breathtaking views, stylish decor, and top-notch amenities, so much space!

The staff, particularly Jacquie, Lily, Joy, Jone, Jeffery, Richard and the rest of the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. The whole team at Villa Sanyanga truly made us feel at home.

What impressed me most was the staff's willingness to cater to our every need. From organizing special requests like birthday cakes, arranging in-villa massages, private Zumba sessions, cooking lessons, yoga sessions etc. They made sure everything ran smoothly and delivered exceptional service with a smile.

The lush gardens, infinity pool with a view, and delicious freshly cooked food added to the villa's charm!

I highly recommend Villa Sanyanga to anyone looking for a spacious, luxurious and relaxing getaway. With its perfect blend of elegance, comfort & exceptional service, this villa is a must-visit destination. Five stars isn't enough – I'd give it ten stars if I could! The price was well worth it for the experience we had. Can't wait to come back! ️️️️️

Wow, this is wonderful review Vee. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. We are so happy that your big birthday celebration was a success, and that our staff at Villa Sanyanga looked after you well. We are so lucky to have Lily and her staff in the villa, they go above and beyond to make sure our guests have a memorable holiday. We are really thrilled to get this review, and hope that you can return some day in the future. With best wishes from the VILLA SANYANGA team.

Good afternoon Jacquie,

I wanted to thank you for the wonderful stay we had in Thailand at the villa. Our guests were overwhelmed by the fantastic service we received and the atmosphere in the villa. None of us had ever stayed in such a magnificent place and we so enjoyed how relaxing it was.

Thank you for answering all my emails and questions and assisting in the smooth process of getting to and from the villa and helping make our stay a huge success.

We loved the joy of sitting around the table and pool if an evening and having Lily cook the best Thai food ever. The staff were so helpful and friendly and nothing was a bother. Especially when a few of us were sick Lilly and Joy were there making us warm lemon drinks and healthy soups.

I’ve highly recommend the villa to others and hoping we might return again with a different group or other family members.

Best

My family of 13 recently stayed for a week at Villa Sanyanga. The quality of the accommodation and exceptional service exceeded all of our expectations. We had planned to eat out regularly but ended up having most meals at the villa due to Chef Lilly's amazing skills. Having a bus available at all times for transport was also a huge bonus. The villa is very good value for the reasonable price. Highly recommend.

Thank you very much for this lovely review Harry. I am glad your family enjoyed the long planned holiday so much. Nice of you to take the time to write this and we all appreciate it... Best wishes to you and your family from Jacquie, Richard, Lily, Jone and the rest of the Villa Sanyanga team.

Once Again Outstanding.
5 Australian girls on the Ultimate Girls Family Group Holiday.
This Villa is palatial.Every bedroom is huge with your very own outdoor space for peace and quiet and plenty of room to gather togetherin common areas.
This Villa is much higher rated than 5 star with personal chef and driver available to you all day.
Lily is truely the best .Nothing to much for her and her food is better than most restaurants.
Jone the driver is cautious and always there for you when you need her.You will feel very safe with her navigating you around the crazy traffic in Phuket.
Som and Oi were fantastic and kept the Villa impecable.Jeffrey is awesome he cooks ,gardens he is everywher and does a fantastic job.
These people make your holiday a true experience they are an absolute credit to their employer.
Jacquie makes the booking process exceptionally easy and can even have the Villa stocked with food for you on arrival.
I cannot wait to return.

You just can't go past Villa Sanyanga views are amazing it really is difficult to leave you could spend your entire holiday there.
Can't wait to get back it really is my favourite place on earth.

We (family group of 10) had a fantastic time at the Villa. The whole group was impressed by the Villa and the facilities but even more by the team that made it work. Lily is clearly the “mother” of the team. All of them were fantastic and all of them always had a smile on their faces and they just seemed so happy to make our stay an unforgettable one. Which is exactly what they did !
Shopping and cooking worked out fantastic and there was never any shortage of anything !
You have the Villa run by a fantastic team !
Thank you.

It was amazing 10/10 stay. The whole team was extremely friendly, warm , inviting and flexible to look after all our needs. Jacquie has you sorted and prepared for the holiday with all the arrival arrangements and responds super fast via email.

Lily the chef and host was so easy to communicate with and a lovely person who helped organise our daily meals, trips and massages. Very talented chef and team of staff who made great Thai or western food. Her noodle soups/pad see ew/papaya salad/ tom yum/pancakes were super delicious.

She was super flexible to our meals in terms of when we wanted to eat how many of us were eating at which parts of the day and always offered great recommendations for what to do with food and day trips. We also got daily massages organised by her.

The rooms are huge and all have airconditioning. We also managed to ask to turn the living room into a bedroom so we got an extra room to work with.

villa is clean and everything was working perfectly. Pool is super clean and relaxing to chill at all day. Speakers are everywhere to connect your phone to. There is also a villa mart you can order groceries online or get driven to by the private driver to get snacks or drinks. And if youre worried about getting sick don't be because none of us in the group were sick with any of the food or drinks at the villa everything is freshly prepared and sourced.

It was a holiday to remember for sure as we alll celebrated various things in that one place as a group of friends from all around the world.

We 14ppls were just had a wonderful stay at Villa Sanyanga for my wedding ceremony.

I had visited Villa Sanyanga in Jan 2018 with my colleagues for team building trip. I like this villa so much and decided right away to hold my wedding ceremony here.

All of my family and friends enjoyed a lot. Rooms are huge. Foods are yummy with various choices. The environment is super relaxing. Their staffs are so nice and helpful and made us just feel like home.

All of us had a wonderful and unforgettable wedding trip with full of love and fun. If you are considering to travel with your family or friends or colleagues. I would definitely recommend Villa Sanyanga to you. ^_^
