About this property

Villa Sanyanga, Surin Beach, chef, Mini bus with driver, staff, ocean views

Villa Sanyanga is a beautiful seven bedroom, fully staffed villa, above Surin beach. We provide a free mini-bus with driver, included in the rental, as well as a private full time chef, and three cleaning staff. The villa is very spacious and can sleep up to 18 or more, depending on how many are children, with plenty of space and privacy for everyone.

There is a beautiful private infinity pool, with shallow end for children, and several outdoor dining areas, a typical Thai Sala by the pool, with revolving table, and sun loungers. Villa Sanyanga is two minutes drive from Surin beach, as well as close to many restaurants and shops, and 15 minutes from the Laguna golf-course.

Located in a private and exclusive residential estate high in the hills above Surin Beach on Phuket’s West coast, this very large villa has spectacular ocean views over the Andaman sea on two sides. Being so spacious, this is perfect for family reunions, large groups of friends, or business team building. There are many separate private areas and the communal area on the pool terrace, with living and dining room, is perfect for everyone to get together.

Villa Sanyanga is one of the most popular luxury rental villas on Phuket Island. It is a “home from home” family friendly villa, with five star service. Our chef Lily has been praised in more than 200 TripAdvisor reviews over thirteen years. She not only produces the most amazing delicious meals, but also manages the villa, and takes care of our guests, ensuring they have a holiday of a lifetime.

We welcome children of all ages, and have baby and child equipment such as pool protection, playpen, 3 cots, 3 highchairs and 4 baby car seats, as well as a table tennis table. You will feel pampered and relaxed, enjoying the spectacular ocean views from the villa, while our chef prepares all your meals, our staff clean the villa, and your driver awaits your request to take you anywhere you would like to go.

Our latest improvements in the villa are a dartboard and table tennis table. We also have several mahjong tables. We have recently created an 8th bedroom. This is a pretty single bedroom sharing an en-suite bathroom with Room 5.

You can have a discounted private yacht cruise too!
We have four luxury power catamarans which sail off the East coast of Phuket as well as two speed boats. We offer our villa guests a discount on a full day cruise on the yachts. This will give you an unforgettable day, sailing amongst tropical islands, swimming, snorkelling or kayaking, having fun on the boat slides or water-scooter, or just relaxing in the floating donuts or floating mats, in the water.

Ask for information about the yacht, and for both the yacht and villa websites. Even if you dont book our villa, you can still go on the private yacht tours, just ask me for details.

If this villa is booked for the time you want, please enquire, because I also let other villas close by, for friends, and can also rent other villas if your group is too large for Villa Sanyanga.

Ineffable
There are not enough words to even BEGIN to describe how amazing the villa and the staff are. We were taken care of down to the finest detail. The most loving, kind efficient group of people I've ever come across. I had my 10th wedding anniversary there and Lilly, Jone, Geoffrey, Pat, Rose and Boom went above and beyond to take care of absolutely everything. Food was amazing Staff were amazing Villa was incredible Everything was just *chefs kiss* Jacqui is phenomenal to deal with. Super helpful and patient, she even arranged a surprise banner fornus fornour anniversary!!!! BEST HOST!!!!! I CANNOT WAIT TO COME BACK. It felt like home.

Sensational Sanyanga
The online information about the Villa Sanyanga was excellent, indicating a high satisfaction rating by all who had stayed there. From the moment we entered the Villa, we realised that the ratings and reviews had not been exaggerated. Our whole family of 10, including granny and grandad; daughter; son-in-law; 2 children age 11 and 9; son; daughter-in-law; 2 children age 3 and 6 months - all had an exceptionally outstanding holiday. All the bedrooms and ensuite facilities were superb; the swimming pool was ideal for our group; the shaded outdoor seating and sunbathing areas; the living accommodation - all were perfect including excellent wifi, sound and tv equipment. BUT by far the most wonderful aspect of this gorgeous villa was LILY and her superb team of staff. Lovely, lovely people. All so very helpful and insistent that they do all the work in order to make our holiday simply the best. Lily provided wonderful menus for us to choose our daily food requirements and liaised with us wonderfully to provide delicious, fabulous meals catering for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Simply superb. Lily is quite exceptional. And then, in addition, we had access to a mini bus and Jone, our driver who took us anywhere we wanted to go. Without this facility, the villa would have been too remote as it is accessed by an extremely steep hill, far too steep for children to negotiate or Granny and grandad. But Jone took us anywhere we needed to go, so perfect!!! And the other staff took care of the cleaning, pool maintenance, laundry and everything else. They became part of our family. Simply superb. If I could rate this Villa and holiday higher than 5 * then I would. Prior to the holiday Jacquie, our host, liaised wonderfully with us ensuring the whole process was problem free, providing all the information we needed to arrive safely and have a magnificent time. Thank you to all involved in making this THE holiday of a lifetime, perfect to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.

Family holiday in excellent surroundings
Villa Sanyanga was everything we expected it to be and more. This was a holiday we had cancelled twice due to COVID, so had waited two years to stay at the villa. From the moment we arrived, Lily, Rose, Luna and Geoffrey looked after us so well in so many ways. Lily is a wonderful chef and gave us so much help during our stay to make it a great holiday for the 11 family members. We had two children under two years of age with us and there were excellent play facilities for them. All of the bedrooms were spacious and provided plenty of storage for our clothes. Each had its own bathroom too. The lounge area and sala were ideal for spending time relaxing with the pool being perfect in size. The food that Lily cooked for us was so good that during our 9 night stay, there was no need for us to eat out. It is difficult to find any negatives about the villa and it’s staff, so would highly recommend the villa to any family or group.. We were also helped greatly by Jacquie the owner in respect of planning our visit, who was so easy to deal with. Definitely 5 stars all round!,

20m from huge building site
Villa Sanyanga itself is beautiful and the staff are great. However, unbeknown to us at the time of booking Villa Sanyanga is c.30m away from a huge building site of multi-storey condominiums. The construction noise (power tools, diggers, trucks, shouting) continues from sunrise to sunset 7 days per week. This made our stay almost unbearable.

Review of Villa Sanyanga - April 2019
We stayed for 7 nights (5 adults / 5 kids). Spectacular property with very spacious bedrooms / bathrooms / dressing areas etc (too big for our group !). Pool area and views are fantastic and living / kitchen areas also very high quality. The staff are incredibly helpful and having a cook of Lily's quality is a real bonus, The access to a minibus was also great (and necessary given the how high up the property is !). No downsides, other than worth being aware that there isn't really much within walking distance due to the walk back up the hill, however I think this probably applies to the vast majority of the rental properties in the area and is largely mitigated by the transport provided..

About the host

Hosted by Jacquie Pinnell

Host profile image
My name is Jacquie Pinnell, and my brother Richard is the owner of Villa Sanyanga, and Tiger Marine Charter, which operates many boats for cruises off Phuket island. We offer Shashani a 43ft catamaran and Sanyati, a 51ft catamaran at discounted rates for villa guests on day cruises.

Richard lives in Thailand and is a retired Cathay Pacific Airways Captain. He runs Tigermarine Charter company in Phuket. I let the villa on his behalf. We grew up in England and Zimbabwe, and now he lives in Asia, and I live in Spain and France. With whatsapp and emails we work closely together, and with Lily our Villa manager too, and are in constant contact with the letting of the villa and chartering the yachts.

Why they chose this property

Richard lives in Phuket with his wife and sons, and lived in Villa Sanyanga for several years, before moving to the East coast, where he runs Tiger Marine Charter out of the Boat lagoon on the east coast, and where all the tiger marine boats are moored.

What makes this property unique

The most fabulous thing about this villa, in my opinion, is the breath-taking view from the pool terrace, over the whole of Bangtao bay. But what makes it wonderful for holiday rentals is that it can take very large groups. Perhaps a family reunion for extended families spread out over many countries, or a group of friends celebrating a birthday. There is so much space and privacy in this beautiful villa. For instance, the garden level area alone can sleep 7 people, with lots of space, and is ideal when several different families renting the villa.

Our biggest feature though, that sets us apart from other villas, is our five star service and fantastic staff. They are all exceptional people, and will do everything in their power to make sure you have a stress free holiday of a lifetime. All the reviews we have ever had, stress how wonderful our staff our and what great service we offer.
