White Azure Villa Koh Phangan

In the nature with wonderful views! Private and very sweet! Would recommend 10/10

Everything was perfect for us and our plans!!! But if you want to be in the city then… It is very east and you need 25-40min depends where you want to go on the island! But in return nobody else is there and you can do what you want!

the place is far away from any major city and the road to the property are designed for 4x4 car only. the closet beach are road for 4x4 and there is no path for pedestrian. everything in the property are old and not clean, I can send pictures if you want. the kitchen are dirty and not properly maintenance. the way to the property is down the hill and we carry the suitcase and almost fall away . the living room, pool, kitchen are open space with no way to close and protect yourself against mosquitoes and there is a lot of them here .

This is an amazing villa. Away from all the tourists that flood the island there is a lot of privacy and amazing views. I wish we stayed here longer. The host, Eye, is amazing. She helped us with every aspect of our trip like transfers and booking taxis. Her family made our trip so much better. Every room at the villa is different, as there were 8 of us we occupied every bedroom and were all happy. The Wi-Fi speed is great for such a remote location. The pool is the star of this villa. I recommend this place for big groups of friends looking to hand out and relax together.

For a short stay like ours this villa is quite far away form everything so we were dependent on transfers. So this is definitely a place for longer stays.

Very nice villa. Terrible location.

The location. We knew it was secluded, however it was a 30 minute drive to the nearest shop so don’t forget anything from the supermarket on your first journey and stock up! Luckily me and my friend can ride a motorbike and managed to do the road so we could keep nipping and fetching supplies because unless you are REALLY GOOD on a motorbike the road to the villa is horrendous. Eye will take you wherever you need to go but at the cost of 1000 baht each way. We spent £200 in 3 days on getting places as there was 8 of us so had no choice, if you are happy to go there and not leave, great. If you like to get out just bare that in mind.

Eye at White Azure picked us up from the ferry pier. She stopped and waited to allow us to grocery shop. She also stopped and allowed me to pick up a scooter from a reputable rental company. She was very hospitable and always available to guide us or drive us as needed. She even drove us to the Half Moon Festival beach and jungle parties and waited late into the night/early morning to pick us up when we were all ready to return to the villa.

Literally no taxi service can take you to and from the villa. So you either need to walk to the villa from the main road (and down from the villa to the main road), or pay a premium taxi fee (1000 THB 1-way) each time you need to leave or return. Eye was a wonderful experience driver with her well kept 4x4 truck. It can get pricey if you want to venture out enough though. Also beware, you need to be expert level rider to reach the White Azure property on a scooter/bike, as it is riddled with loose rocks (some quite large), dirt and gravel with a winding steep grade. Do not try to attempt this if you have never ridden a scooter and/or have no motorcycle experience. Also, the large loose rocks can potentially do damage to the scooter fairings on the bottom (or worse) if you're not careful, even if you don't drop it or fall. The rental company will check for this and will charge you additional fees for scratches/etc.

La villa en si es una barbaridad, las vistas son lo mejor que tiene. El acceso al mar a través de sus escaleras. Las hamacas en la piscina viendo el mar y las palmeras es una estampa brutal. La casera trata de solucionar todos los problemas que puedas tener, te ayuda en todo momento, muy simpática, agradable y atenta en todo momento de la estancia. Hemos estado muy a gusto.

El desague de la ducha que se inundaba ya que es muy pequeño y no absorve suficientemente bien. El acceso a la villa es complicado, incluso con 4x4 el coche resvalaba…

With a little effort (stairs to/from villa, restaurants, trails and a 4 wheel drive in/out), this villa gives you lots of amazing views, privacy and jungle life (flowers, trees, birds, geckos, etc). We had a long day of travel to the villa from Mae Rim so opted to eat in for the first few nights (this was such a great option as I don't know if we would have had the energy to go out and look for a restaurant by evening when we arrived!) One flight was delayed, causing us to miss our scheduled ferry. We were in contact with Eye, and she was helpful in having the truck rental company meet us directly at the other pier we were now arriving at, avoiding us needing to get a taxi for 5. It was a Buddhist Holiday so no alcohol was being sold in any of the stores for 2 days. Luckily, Eye and her family had the refrigerator stocked with tons of cold beer, water and soft drinks, and brought a heaping platter of Chicken/Veggie Pad Thai down to the villa when we arrived (pre-arranged)! After a few days of enjoying lots of villa time, we were ready to go out and explore. There is a restaurant (Plaa's restaurant in walking distance with great views of Than Sadet beach (as you leave the villa, turn left on the paved road instead of right - this will lead you to the back of the restaurant, and all the way down to the beach too with another restaurant). There is also High on Hideaway within walking distance too (to the right as you leave the villa) with great views, cold drinks and conversation. Eye, her sister and son were so helpful in answering questions, being available for anything, setting up things (massages, boat trips, mailing my mom's postcards), and keeping pool/villa clean! Thank you!
