Incredible Villa, 100% recommendable

I have no words to describe this villa in Phuket. It is a real wonder that you will enjoy, not only for its location in one of the best areas of the island, but also for its pool, its garden, its spaces and above all for the assistance that the person in charge offers you at all times. Not only did they satisfy all our requests, but I have to say that the next time I return it will go to the same place.
Regarding the wonderful Villa, it is much more impressive in reality than what can be seen in the photos, spectacular for couples with children or young people as we were, with a spectacular pool and an unbeatable cleanliness. I finish as I started, if you go to Phuket, do not think about anything else. It is next to the village, located in Rawai and the island can be visited perfectly by motorcycle or car that you can provide the assistant himself. Incredible Villa. 100% recommendable

Fantastic stay in Villa Papaya

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful, very spacious and modern villa. The setup of the entire place was stunning: The rooms were all large, bright and smartly furnished. The pool was perfect for swimming, and the garden with the many exotic trees lovely. Everything was clean and well maintained. The maid on site was very helpful, organizing taxis and telling us where we could buy things. She also offered excellent massages at the villa. Villa Papaya was the perfect place for us to relax and unwind and to enjoy the luxury of a private home. We are looking forward to coming back soon.

Villa Perfect (Papaya)

There was 6 of us in a group aged between 20 - 25. Villa Papaya is everything u can imagine and more. Very clean and well looked after. Pool was fantastic. Can not say one negative thing about the villa. Mrs Pond and her staff are fantastic. Villa is in a great location away from all the tourist hot spots. We hired a car for 800 Baht a day made getting around Phuket alot easier. Great commucation between myself and the owner Richard. I was never worried about anything going wrong. Thank you to Villa Papaya for making our stay in Phuket amazing. Anyone thinking of staying at Villa Papaya and think twice cause without staying at Villa papaya your stay in Phuket is not complete. Will be back! Thanks form the crew from AUS.

We all had a really great time

We were a group of 7 staying at the villa, and wanted a nice place to relax after traveling around Thailand for 2 weeks and that was exactly what we got. We found it very spacious and had everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. The owner was very helpful from my initial contact and all through arranging taxi's from they ferry terminal and then back to Phuket airport, also answering any questions while we were there very quickly. I would recommend the hire of car to get out and about to see what Phuket has to offer, also there is not many restaurants within walking distance of the villa, so used the car a couple of evenings to go into the town. The owner advised of which company to use and they were very reliable and delivered the car and collected it from the villa. (Nina's Car). The maid on sight was very helpful and her massages were great, well worth it! The swimming pool was also very well kept and a nice temperature for swimming, in the 6 days we were there the pool maintenance men came twice which was encouraging to see that it is well maintained. We all had a really great time and would definitely recommend the villa.

BOOK! You will not regret it!

Me and my 3 friends had a great stay here. The owners are very helpful in regards to information of the best beach/ restaurants in the area and were always there with quick replies when we needed them. The villa is exactly how it looks in the picture..if anything it’s bigger than you think. The maid on site helps keep the villa clean and gives great massages in villa for good prices. I would highly recommend this place to family and friends in the future and to anyone reading the reviews and thinking of booking ...BOOK! You will not regret it!

It is so big and clean

Villa Papaya is beautiful modern-styled very spacious and very convenient for short time vacation as well as for longer time accommodation. Well equipped, light and air-filled house outside the crowded Thailand resorts, where you can relax and have pleasure looking at the local nature and listening to bird's songs and frog's sounds. Transfer from and to the airport is provided by the host that is really convenient. The pool is amazing, it is so big and clean that you won't go to the sea. I highly recommend the property to all who appreciate privacy and comfort in conjunction with wonderful Thai weather. Thanks a lot to Richard for this great opportunity to stay there!

We will definitely repeat out stay

Everything was perfect. The villa and environment was as described, if not better than in the picture. We were fortunate to have good weather, but even in the rain you will have an open-air vacation. If there was a small problem, the manager, Oum, would take care of it immediately. The massages are also very pleasant. The owner, who also speaks Japanese, is always in touch with us, so if you have any problems, you will be reassured. We had a relaxing time with our family of three. We will definitely repeat our stay.

This place is Heaven

I don’t know where to begin! I went here for my 21st birthday party and it was beyond what i expected. This place is HEAVEN. Looks exactly like the pictures or even better! Communication is very easy, not to mention the host & the very amazing helper that has made our stay perfect.
We were allowed to play music all day, all night without any complaints from the neighborhood. I highly recommend staying here if you are going as a group! One more time, thank you so much Yasko, Richard, and Oum for making this trip memorable! ♥️

Fantastic Time

Villa Papaya is just perfectly located, swimming pool's far big enough, garden's great, villa's spaceful and tasty decorated. Villa's manager is very helpful and kind and Villa's owner provided a very good customer service. There is everything in the Villa itself to ensure a great stay in Rawai area. There is also a nice market at walking distance, some days of the week. We stayed, unfortunately only 5 days, 2 couples and 2 kids and everybody had a fantastic time! We hope to be back soon.

Villa to the Stars!

We had ten (10) nights at the Villa in the second week of September - sadly we had a reasonable amount of seasonable monsoon. However due to the lay out of the pool and the Villa in general we still managed to have a fantastic time. If we were in a normal Resort we would have no doubt gone crazy with cabin fever. No chance at the Villa to the Stars ! Mrs Pond and Mr Joe were well organised and as a result everything from the airport pick up to the hire vehicle delivery went off without incident. Looking forward to a return tour.

Perfect family villa

We were 2 families with children. The private environment, the safety, the pool and the cozy kitchen corner were absolutely the best. Mrs Pond and her husband are super and makes everything easy. You feel that the owner of the house has thought of every small detail, very clean and maintained house. The location is perfect for trips around the island. We had a great time.

A fabulous holiday in a fabulous villa

Coming from France, we spent the whole month of February in this villa. Everything that was displayed on the site was exactly what could have been expected. There was no surprise, and as soon as we stepped into the villa, we felt at home. The exquisite style and decoration, the large bedrooms with their bathrooms, the well-thought details in every part of the villa, the silence of the environment, the large, comfortable and more than pleasant swimming-pool, the different facilities (shops and services) not far from the house made our stay the most enjoyable we ever experienced. Moreover, the staff was so attentive to us, so respectful with an everyday disponibility, able to solve any problem within minutes that we regretted to have to leave them. They were more than staff with their efficient and friendly attentions. There's no doubt we'll come back. Thank you to them and to the owner.

Perfect Family Stay

Over the last years we have rented several villa's in different countries. We stayed for 10 day's in villa Papaya. . It was perfect for our family stay. Perhaps too big for 2 adults and 2 children ( 11 and 17) but having individual bedrooms/bathrooms is extra luxury.
The house is spacious and not photoshopped :-) !!. The soft water in the private pool and privacy was appreciated by all of us. The Corner Restaurant (5 min walk) provided excellent Thai food without any stomach problems for a very fair price so cooking in the large kitchen was seldom done... Weather wise we where lucky given the monsoon time. Rental Car for this location is recommendable in order to see more of Phuket ( although public transport could do as well) Thanks for offering such a housing for public.

We recommend this Villa to any family or group

A very well maintained Villa with excellent service from Oum (onsite manager). The villa is very comfortable and we were welcomed by Oum upon arrival. Oum showed us around and gave explanations on how everything works. There were also guide books available to discover local flavors and places to visit. We thoroughly enjoyed the facilities and the service from Oum was out-standing. We recommend this Villa to any family or group looking for a nice on the island of Phuket.

the villa is so convenient and luxurious

As the first tenants from China mainland, we spent the whole week in papaya. It`s a cozy place for our family to have a great time. We didn`t expect that the villa is so convenient and luxurious. If you like the sunset view, the balcony on the 3rd floor is a perfect spot for you. It won`t take long for anyone to get familiar with the neighborhood. Renting a motorcycle is a good choice for traveling around or going to a supermarket. It`s a little bit far from the central area like Patong. But it`s easy to hire a driver to take you there with a minibus. The landlord and landlady are a cute couple. They are nice and funny. Like a Chinese saying, which means this place makes us feel like being at home but only better. I`ve been missing there as soon as leaving.

Villa Papaya!!! We all loved it!!!

We were a group of 7, first time in Phuket. Staying for 7 nights.
We were picked up from the airport by a van that was arranged with the owner. The moment we set foot in the villa we loved it. It was not only like the pictures it was even better!!!!!!!
The villa was immaculately clean, and everything was organized and managed perfectly by the owner Richard and his lovely wife Yasuko. They we so nice and helpful in anything we needed.
The pool, rooms, living area and basically the villa is very spacious and is designed beautifully in a way that 4 couples can stay there easily and have their privacy as well.
We practically didn't want to leave the villa. The pool area and the sound system with it were that good. We were having lots of fun.
Transportation was easy for us. A car is recommended for tourist spots but we didn't bother and there was a really nice driver Mr. Lee who took us everywhere, anytime easily and would come to pick us up too. Scooters are an easy option, you can rent one just around the corner.
We all loved the villa and I would highly recommend it to anybody who looks for comfort, luxury, and fun for their vacation.
We would definitely come back.
Richard and Yasuko, thank you again! Hope to see you soon again. You made our stay more than complete!

A Perfect Christmas Vacation

Firstly I need to echo previous reviews relating to the hospitality of the villa owners and the ease of booking and coordination of 3 families, including 5 children all under 4, arriving and departing at different times; thank you.

The villa is perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay - there is easily enough space and privacy for 3 families and a nanny.

There is a large staircase which the children respected and the door frame on the first-floor bedroom is suitable for baby gate installation (a basic Ikea gate fits - we bought our own)

Every bedroom is ensuite and an additional outside shower and downstairs toilet and shower room were very practical.

The gardens are fantastic and provided endless opportunities for the children to explore.

From the villa location, almost all Phuket attractions and popular beaches are within a 45 min drive. But to be honest, our favorite beaches were just round the corner (Ya Nui & Nai Harn) approx 10 min drive.

Overall I would recommend this villa for a fantastic family holiday - and big enough for multiple families.

Perfect Place To Relax

Lots of space, clean, modern, and hard not to enjoy :)
Quiet area so for a family that just wanted to relax, I found this the perfect place. Resting by the pool, with a cool beer or a drink, listening to the outdoor music - what is not to like? The pool is large enough to actually swim in as well. Lots of good places to eat in the surroundings, on all levels. Very friendly owners, who answer all questions we had swiftly. I can only recommend!

Go ahead, you won't regret it!

Quiet, spacious, modern, impeccable place. Adults and children enjoyed the pool. Convenient to order meals at the nearby restaurant which delivers them. Attention car essential. Driver and his BB sitter are a plus as well as the cleaning lady. Richard always answered our questions quickly and helped us to organize everything in the best way. Yasuko, his wife, is very welcoming. Thank you both, we will come back and recommend Villa Papaya to our friends. Monique, Marc, Clémence - Ela and her three children the AAA.

Wonderful

The description does not defy reality. We were able to spend a wonderful time in the villa. Great on-site service. The center of daily existence was the large pool. However, if you also like to swim in the salt water, you should head for Nai Harn Bay (is unlike the main bays Kata, Karon, Patong not so crowded and clean). There are good shopping possibilities in the direction of Phuket Town on the 4024 (e.g. supermarket in the Home Pro Village/ just behind the traffic circle - German bread and other products). On rainy days the shopping center Jungceylon) in Patong is recommended.
Good Thai food can be found right near the pier on the promenade of Rawai or a bit further towards Nai Harn in Foodland.
Highly recommended, especially with children, is a snorkeling trip by speedboat to Racha Island or Coral Island (don't forget to bring toast or bananas).

Perfect Recreation Place

This holiday was definitely the most relaxing I ever had!

Everything was perfectly arranged.

The day we landed at Phuket airport we were picked up and driven to the villa in an air-conditioned minibus. That trip took about one hour and the holiday began to start. At the villa, we were welcomed by the local property manager and her husband who showed us everything about the villa. There was even a nice fruit basket and bottled water in the fridge. But we still needed to buy some things, so they drove us to the bank and the store. We wanted also some scooters, which were arranged and delivered a few hours later to the villa, while we were relaxing for the first time at this great pool with a great garden view. I already miss the palm trees waving in the wind... before we came there we had some ideas about what to do, but then everything changed. The villa, the pool, the garden, the tranquillity... we had not much requirement to go to the beach and lay there around. For us, it was perfect, that the villa was not that close to the beach. And it was also great that it was not located at one of the hotspots. With the scooter, we were within 5 minutes of lots of great restaurants and markets. Rawai and Nai Harn are really blessed with good restaurants To name a few: Mando (my favorite), Sala Loi, Baan Haad, Da Vinci, Banana Corner, Crepes Village, M&M Pizzeria, Kan Eang@Pier (Chalong). In Chalong, you have the villa market you get everything you could possibly need. If you really want to hang around at a beach, go to Ya Nui Beach in my opinion the most beautiful beach on Phuket - definitely the best sunset - and quite small.. not a load of other tourists and you get even a place to lay on without paying 200bht for a pair of sun loungers and a parasol.

A few more words about the villa: It's huge!! and I am lucky to have a huge living room myself, else I would have claustrophobia coming back home ;)

This is a modern villa with modern furniture - lots of stone, aluminum, and glass. I love it! The kitchen is huge (every room is huge) and has all you need... there is a brick grill in the garden and also a weber grill, but we did not use that - we were just too lazy to do anything, so we were also happy about the cleaning lady who came every 3/4 days to clean up and recover the beds.

And there is also a nice A/V system (bring your own ps3 - what we did) if the afternoons are getting too hot outside. I have to cut this down no more words left:

PERFECT LOCATION AND SERVICE!!

Amazing Get Away

Would really like to thank the owners of this amazing house. The pictures do no justice to how nice this house was to stay in. The pool was a delight to come back to every afternoon and hard to leave most mornings. Rooms were spacious and well presented. Owners were always contactable to help at any time. Would go back tomorrow if I could. I can't recommend this house highly enough. I would recommend this accommodation to my best friend!

We definitely will come back

The house and the garden are both big. The water in the swimming pool is cleaned with salt which makes the bath experience very enjoyable. Swimming pool is big enough to swim. The plot is beautifully surrounded by a lake and some greenery but no mosquitos. There are 4 big bedrooms each with own bathroom with showers (no bathtubs). Rooms are spacious with huge closets equipped with safe boxes. Kitchen is also huge and very well equiped. No photoshop on the pictures of the website. Everything is very clean and well maintained. The house, is located near Rawai beach, 5 minutes walking distance from a main road where to buy basic groceries, drink a beer and take taxi. To reach the beach car or moto (renting is 6 Euros a day only including helmet!!) is required. Management is very kind and helpful and come in 10 minutes if anything happened. We definitely will come back.

A beautiful, sophisticated vacation home

Alone the online service, the pickup from the airport, the warm welcome of the caregiver who is available to help with any questions (within 2 hrs we had our rental car at the front door - great!)(car you need!)the house a splendor, very well maintained, housekeeper, gardener, pool attendant, everything on balance we were allowed to spend a dream vacation in Villa Papaya! Weather was very nice! Food we were mainly on the promenade of Rawai, where many locals, very tasty and very cheap! Supermarket there are some in Rawai! Bakery we got us now and then delicious cake or rolls! Everything easy to find! Beaches easy to reach by car! Have also made a day trip by boat from Rawai to Coral Island - gorgeous! Shopping is good in the Festival Center!
We will definitely not have been the last time in Villa Papaya!

Fantastic villa near beautiful beaches

We spent a wonderful vacation in Villa Papaya. Everything corresponded exactly to the description and the pictures, just great. We were personally received by the landlord at the airport and after taking over our rental car brought to the villa. The restaurant and shopping recommendations were excellent. We were very often directly at the fish market in simple but excellent seafood restaurants. Also the cuisine of "Mama" just down the street was super delicious. The beaches are easily accessible by car, you just generally need a good set of nerves for the traffic in Thailand. Our children had a lot of fun in the huge pool and often did not want to go to the beach. Food can also be ordered very well directly to the villa, even Züricher Geschnetzeltes is on the menu and was excellent. All in all, a very relaxing and interesting vacation. We can highly recommend the villa!
