Secret Beach Villa

Secret Beach Villa overlooks the pristine and secluded Haad Thong Lang Beach on Koh Phangan’s peaceful north west coast. With no other properties built directly on the bay, guests enjoy what is essentially a private beach, just a few steps down from the villa, along with uninterrupted tropical views over the bay and neighbouring Koh Ma island.

Set across several levels, the villa is filled with natural light from its many large windows. The interiors are clean and modern, softened with traditional Thai touches and warm wood, while the main living and dining space features white vaulted ceilings set against beautiful wooden trusses for a lovely blend of style and character.

The villa has five bedrooms plus a kids’ room, sleeping 10 adults and 2 children across three separate spaces, making it ideal for families and groups who like a little privacy. For smaller groups, a four bedroom option sleeping 8 adults and 2 children is also available. In the Principal Villa, the master suite sits on the upper floor with panoramic views across the bay, a king size bed and an en suite bathroom with double sinks, bathtub and separate shower. On the ground floor, a second king bedroom connects to a kids’ room with a trundle bed for two children under 12, sharing one bathroom, perfect for parents with young children.

The Honeymoon Villa is a romantic hideaway with a king size bed, panoramic ocean views, an en suite bathroom with Jacuzzi bath, its own sauna, a separate kitchenette and direct access to the pool. The Beach Villa has two connecting bedrooms, one with a king and one with a queen size bed, sharing a bathroom with bathtub, along with a dressing room, a separate kitchenette and an outdoor terrace with a table for four. All bedrooms have air conditioning, ceiling fans and a safety box.

The main living areas include a fully fitted open plan western kitchen where the Thai chef can prepare delicious meals, a dining table for 10 and a large living room with a TV game room, bar and pool table, which can double as an extra dining table. Outside, the huge terrace has a covered dining area and a poolside sala, perfect for long lunches and in villa massages.

The 12m pool is surrounded by sunbeds and parasols, and on sunny days the staff can fire up the barbecue on the front deck for lunch at the covered outdoor table, before you sink into the comfy chill out area next door. As the sun sets, have your camera ready, as the villa enjoys some of the best sunsets on the island, with the sun dipping between the edge of the bay and Koh Ma.

For pampering, the open air massage sala on the far side of the top deck looks out over the sea and is the perfect spot for spa treatments, manicures, pedicures or a yoga session, all arranged by the villa team. The air conditioned gym on the lower floor has a treadmill and elliptical machine, with floor to ceiling glass making the most of the view.

Head down to Haad Thong Lang through the front gate or the private entrance at the bottom of the house. Tucked into the bay with calm water, the beach is great for children, and the villa’s private kayaks are ready to push out and paddle around the bay.

The villa is fully serviced by an experienced villa manager and a live in couple, so there’s always someone on hand. Rates include a daily continental or Chinese breakfast, daily housekeeping, concierge service and one complimentary return transfer from Thong Sala Pier, and a baby pack with high chair, cot, baby bath and car seat is available. Cooking classes, babysitting, yoga and Pilates instructors, swimming, Thai boxing and cocktail lessons, massages, car hire and excursions can all be arranged at extra cost.

Koh Phangan’s north west coast is the island’s quiet side, a world away from the Full Moon crowds of Haad Rin. Just seven minutes from the villa, the little fishing village of Chaloklum has great Thai and European restaurants, shops, a bakery for fresh warm bread and another beautiful beach. Nearby Koh Ma, joined to Mae Haad beach by a sandbar at low tide, offers some of the best snorkelling around the island, and Thong Sala, the island’s main town and ferry port with its lively night markets, is an easy drive away.

Secret Beach Villa is a brilliant family home and an ideal choice for friends, reunions or simply getting away from it all.
