“I don’t usually write reviews, but the villa deserves some love. Living in Thailand we get to experience many different luxury villas and hotels, on many various islands/locations throughout the country, and this one rises to one of the top. The villa views were stunning, the layout of the villa was unique and interesting with the infinity pool centered throughout (plus you can jump off the second story, which was a nice/fun touch). There are many beautiful and luxurious villas in Phuket but this one stands above given its amazing service and food. The chef created restaurant-best dishes, and the presentation of each was great as well. The staff was super attentive and was also not overbearing, as many villas tend to do. They were able at any time of the day to get us what we needed and everything done with a gracious smile. We traveled in a group of four, but this villa can easily accommodate 10+ (the group after us was 17 people!), so it’s pretty dynamic if you’re in a small or large group. It’s also 5 minutes away from the marina, so you can hop on a boat, go island hopping and cave kayaking (which is only about 20-30 mins away).”
“We want to thank Joy and her team at Villa Amarapura for making our stay wonderful and memorable. Service was immaculate, super friendly and helpful. Her smile and warm gestures were very welcoming! Villa was tastefully decorated and designed, exactly the same as what you see on the photos and video. Every corner of the villa was kept at pristine condition – always spotlessly clean. Chef was beyond great. Meal was served in family style but was cooked to precision and garnished like fine dining – every single meal. Booking arrangement was very easy and Lyn from the office was highly responsive and attentive. Of course these amazing things come with a price tag but it’s worth every penny. This is by far our best experience in Phuket!”
“As a seasoned traveler and vacationer, one could say that not many things can wow me.
However, Jimmy and his team at Villa Kalipay is nothing short of exceptional ! From the very day we arrived till the day we left, the team took care of our very INDIVIDUAL needs ! The food, the cleanliness, the impeccable focus on little details on who likes what and prefers what… they basically customized the service to every single person.
My family of 9 comprises of very old people to very young children. Not many places can cater to such varied needs. But Villa Kalipay, a perfect place with an in-house pool, cinema, gym and beautiful setting, plus the amazing service leaves us with great memories.
Thank you for everything !”
“We came all the way from the US and are thrilled that we did. Villa Akatsuki is defined architecturally by its gorgeous, sleek Japanese aesthetic right on a lovely beach. But it’s true magic comes from the 7-star service delivered by Kuhn Jack and the team. The food is off-the-charts good. An outstanding gym and spa on property. No shortage of activities can be done from the beach or on the property (we did fishing, yoga, paddle-boarding, tubing, snorkeling, island hopping, and more). Your only regret might be taking excursions off the property…you only want to come back! You will feel like royalty during your stay.”
“If you want to relax and indulge in complete luxury this villa is simply a must. We traveled with 2 families with 5 kids, we didn’t need to leave the villa the 25m infinity pool and the huge movie room kept the kids busy and quiet for the entire week, where the villa’s grounds and seating areas were plenty big…”
