Villa Thahan Thailand

Villa Thahan is a dazzling example of Thai heritage style architecture and unadulterated luxury, offering an unforgettable panoramic skyline, private pool and jacuzzi on the lesser trodden island of Koh Yao Yai.
Guests of this sumptuous home get to enjoy the best of a resort experience, including fine dining, impeccable staff care, pampering and excursions, along with the tranquillity of a self-contained abode – a little slice of magic on a Thai cast-away island! This beautiful island remains a quiet refuge that feels far removed from the crowds of Phuket, simply known for its pristine beaches and luscious coconut groves and mangrove forests.
Crafted in honey-coloured teak, this ornate home is a haven of style, quality and serenity; a dash of local flavour with a streak of upmarket resort flair. Stepping inside, guests would be forgiven for thinking they had stepped into the glossy pages of an interiors magazine, while indoor and outdoor living interplay seamlessly, billowing pristine white curtains, ethnic style carvings and sedate finishes. All the attention to detail that makes a place special, from silk robes in lavish tones to fluffy slippers and coffee machine, while the stand-out features including an infinity pool and jacuzzi lend an indulgent touch.
The double bedroom offers a living room space, with elegant desk, dressing table and styling reclining space, decked out in exquisite natural timbers and plush fabrics.
The terrace is framed with decadent day-beds and exquisite views, setting the scene for romantic meals at sunset and refreshing post-swim breakfasts as the resort wakes up. The views at every turn are sublime, looking out onto azure waters from the bed or living space creates wonderful vistas, and every contemporary comfort it in place from flat-screen television to wifi.
With an array of restaurants on-site, elegant dining rooms to local fare, pampering treatments and the beach on its doorstep, this tropical oasis of Thai hospitality and gracious holiday living won’t be forgotten in a hurry.Koh Yao Yai is nestled in the Andaman Sea, a glistening jewel in its crown, accessible by long-tail boat from the Bang Rong Pier on Phuket’s east coast. And within just a 25-minute taxi drive.
This low-key island is best discovered by scooter, adopting the local pace of life, and its unadulterated nature, stunning beaches and uncommercial vibe can be enjoyed at visitors leisure. A far cry from the bright lights of Phuket, there is no bustle of nightlife on Koh Yao Yai or tourist traps, simply stunning mangrove forests, unknown beaches, tranquil nature and local style seafood restaurants run by friendly locals.
When meandering through the island by scooter, visitors will take in local wooden style Thai homes, buffalos taking mud baths in rice paddies, winding roads through rubber plantations, and luscious mangroves and coconut groves.
Water sports such as diving, boating, sea kayaking and snorkelling are all available on the island; the conditions are ideal for these.
