The most fabulous 5 weeks in Phuket
We've just had the most fabulous 5 weeks in Phuket with family and friends staying at Villa Jasmine and Villa Malee.
The hilltop setting under the iconic landmark Big Buddha provided a fabulous panorama looking out to Kata beach and the prevailing sea breezes were refreshing.
The infinity pools were a haven after days of golf, shopping and sightseeing.
The villas are comfortable, spacious and impeccably clean.
The manageress Khun Noi is in the know and can organise anything and everything you could possibly want. Whether it be in-house massages, fresh lobster, more drinks, medical supplies or a tuk tuk, nothing was too much trouble.
Our resident chef, Khun Arm, cooked up tasty culinary temptations from an even more tempting menu.
Khun Muay and the housekeeping team with their beaming smiles and attentive service took care of everything.
I highly recommend these villas to family and friends looking for a tropical getaway where you are spoilt from the moment you arrive.

I can't wait to return!
Thank you for the wonderful stay at Villa Jasmine. I can't wait to return in the future. Set up high and away from the noisy buzz of the Kata and Karon areas, Villa Jasmine is the perfect place to retreat to if you need a break from work to recharge with friends or have a wonderful family holiday. I had stayed near Patong in the past and far prefer Kata, it's beaches and Kata Noi. I loved the restaurants and would recommend visiting to anyone who loves the idea of a holiday in beautiful Thailand.
Villa Jasmie is located a kilometer or two from the main shopping area and beaches and I loved to walk for exercise there in the morning and would often get a tuk tuk back which was about $10 Australian after doing a spot of ‘retail therapy' and buying a bottle of vino for the evening.
From the moment I arrived at Villa Jasmine (and Villa Malee was next door), I felt so welcomed and a huge effort had been made by Brian and his staff, so I felt comfortable and informed about the home and its traditional charm and beauty. Each room was so private and I could never hear anything from the other guests' rooms.
The meals included in my stay were the best Thai I've eaten and freshly prepared by a wonderful chef and villa staff. Imagine beautiful curries, salads, rice and noodle. The menu to select from was huge and could easily come from a restaurant! The staff even went to the effort of preparing the meals in an outside kitchen so as not to impact on the privacy and relaxation of the guests. Breakfasts were also totally delicious with all the best seasonal fruits, eggs prepared to your tastes, yoghurts, toasts, jams and beautiful juices.
In terms of my bedroom and bathroom, the size was wonderful, and everything was so clean and cool to return to after a warm day out exercising/shopping and exploring the local sights. I had my own desk and chair (essential for me to get a bit of work done), a huge bed and plenty of power points.
The cleanliness of the entire villa was immaculate. I never felt even one grain of sand under my feet and it's a very large space with multiple rooms and other friends staying also! There was even the convenience of a small mini-shop 20m down the road for essentials.
N.B. After recently staying at the Hilton in Hua Hin, the room was nowhere near as large and the bathroom also. I loved to be able to open a sliding door and let some fresh air in with my own mini outdoor area each evening. We also needed the air-conditioner to sleep at night, and they all worked so well and made sleeping a dream. There are also large ceiling fans in all rooms, if you prefer to sleep without aircon.
I also absolutely loved the sparkling pool at Villa Jasmine and especially in the evening where the warm winds and sunset views made every swim memorable, as well as the backdrop of greenery from the nearby mountain with green vegetation.
Everyone I met during my stay at Villa Jasmine was so warm and welcoming and would do anything to make your stay more enjoyable. A beautiful, relaxing Thai getaway!
Thank you so much!

5 out of 5 - Spectacular!
Noi and her staff spoiled us!! We got the royal treatment as they cooked delicious food for us, cleaned up after us, arranged massages in house, arranged transportation, etc. First class on everything!! This was a highlight for us on our Southeast Asia trip with our family of 8 adults!

Luxury Villa with private chef, full staff, infinity pool , Ocean Views
***** (5 stars)
I recently had the pleasure of staying at your esteemed establishment, Villa Jasmine, from May 1st till May 5th, 2025, and I am writing to express my satisfaction with the experience. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the warm welcome of the staff. Their professionalism and willingness to assist with any inquiries set a positive tone for my stay. Our rooms were delightful. It was immaculate, featuring comfortable furnishings and a pleasing décor that made it feel like a home away from home. The amenities provided, such as the around-the-clock staff, personal chef, high-speed Wi-Fi, complimentary breakfast, and infinity pool to name a few, were greatly appreciated and added to the overall comfort.The Villa's location is another highlight, offering convenient access to the beach, restaurants, nightlife and shopping. This was particularly beneficial for my itinerary and contributed to a hassle-free stay. Moreover, the dining options were excellent. The chef prepared everything as specified and served an array of delicious meals that catered to our various tastes. The service was prompt, and the staff was always courteous and attentive. One aspect that stood out was the level of cleanliness and maintenance throughout the Villa. It was clear that great care is taken to ensure the environment is pristine and welcoming. Overall, my experience at Villa Jasmine was highly satisfactory. I am grateful for the hospitality, and the high standards of service provided.

WONDERFUL STAY
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Malee! Our trip was too short but the staff made us feel right at home. They were very accommodating to our requests of food choices and finding masseuses. They have an excellent chef and the food is exquisitely delectable! Noi is a great house manager and Muay is an excellent chef!

The Villa Is Brilliant
The villa is brilliant. The pool, terrace, bedrooms, bathrooms etc are all better than the photos. Spotlessly clean and everything works perfectly. There is a sea view from the pool and terrace, great air conditioning, secure grounds and its less than a 5 minute tuk-tuk ride to Kata beach and resort.But what absolutely made our stay here was the people - the housekeeping staff are just incredible. Welcoming, kind, friendly, helpful and exceptional chefs! This villa was the highlight of our holiday in Thailand, and we did stay in other more expensive villas and hotels. Often a downside to a villa holiday with a large group (8 of us) is the constant food shopping, cooking and clearing up after a meal. Not at this villa. All this is done for you with a smile and genuine hospitality - nothing was too much trouble for Mauy and her team. Fantastic fresh food every time, from western breakfasts to thai dinners, every dish was superb.Having the support of the villa manger and her team gave us a sense of security and surety as they would help arrange taxis/tuk-tuks, recommend restaurants and generally be there to help with anything and everything. I can't recommend this property enough. Book it, you won't regret it.

Our 2 families had a fantastic stay
Our 2 families had a fantastic stay, the staff at the villa were fantastic, so helpful and polite. We had several meals at the villa which were so delicious and amazing value, as other people had said - much cheaper than eating out. Noi and Otto were fantastic at helping us to book trips and everything was great with these too. Thanks to Noi, Muay and the rest of the staff for such an amazing stay and making many happy memories. I would highly recommend staying at the villa. It is so comfortable and away from the chaos of Kata town and absolute Gem thanks so much.

MAGNIFICENT VILLA
Magnificent villa with amazing views of Kata beach. A great infinity pool showcasing said views across the area. The bedrooms are spacious with ensuites and aircon. The included chef prepared for us each night a great selection of local cuisines along with western food for the children. The staff/team were excellent and always ready to help for any request. The location was good, being close to the main areas without being right in the action so it was quiet a calm. Highly recommended.

Our 4 kids had a blast in the pool.
My family of 6 greatly enjoyed our stay at Villa Jasmine. Our 4 kids had a blast in the pool. And the stone elephant never stopped being a source of entertainment for them. The breakfasts were delicious and presented with every last thought taken care of. The staff were incredibly helpful, thoughtful and friendly. Noi was so incredible. She made the experience so easy. Cannot thank her enough for everything. We hope to stay again in the future and would definitely recommend the villa to other people

My Most Popular Stay
Over the decades I have been to Thailand many times. My most popular stay without doubt is Villa Jasmine for excellent accommodation and service. Superb staff and food is next level. The in house management can organise anything from a tuk tuk to the beach or a day trip to the islands. Do yourselves a favour and stay at one of Brian's luxurious villas at a most affordable rate. Needless to say I will be back again.

wow ! what a week
Myself and my family recently spent a week at villa Jasmine. wow what a week it was. The villa was spotless, The views was amazing but above all the staff were so lovely, nothing we asked was too much. Every morning ,we woke up to a lovely breakfast. You can also request dinner to be cooked for the cost of the ingredients only, every dinner we ate at the villa was amazing. Better than the restaurants and much cheaper. The only disappointment was leaving, we should have booked for longer. We would 1000% recommend Villa Jasmine and we will definitely be returning.

Better than described
We have just returned from our 10 day holiday spent at Villa Jasmine. Everything at the villa is better than described and the photos do not do it justice. My family of 7 - 5 adults and 2 children (4&5) fell in love with it. The villa is kept spotless by the staff who are the friendliest, kindest people you will meet. They also did laundry for us that came back after a day and was pristine and the cost was minimal (I can't speak highly enough of them) and the food cooked and prepared by them to order was delicious and better value than any restaurant in Phuket. The pool area became our favourite place after hot days out and chill days at pool. The trips and house massages arranged by Khun Noi the house manager, were excellent and nothing was any trouble for her. If you don't have a car you will need to arrange transportation either via Noi or the Grab app both were very dependable and well priced. I will definitely be recommending Villa Jasmine to all our friends and family.

10 Days over Christmas and New Year
My family & I (pax 7) spent 10 days over Xmas & New Year at Villa Jasmine. In the run up to our stay the Villa Owner, Brian, not only answered all our queries. He provided additional information, support, suggestions & also contacts & bookings for places. Then during our stay, he continued with great assistance when required. (Note this was not really needed as his Villa manager Noi & her team were also fantastic.) Another added bonus for myself was that as a golfer Brian arranged for me to not only play golf but at a discount on 2 separate occasions. Noi & her team provided great food & ensured that our villa stay was great. The villa was always spotless & we wanted for nothing. We never needed anything from them which is testament to how good they all are. We all had a wonderful time & would highly recommend the villa to family & friends. Thanks again to Brian, Noi & the team

Three night Stay - Five Stars
We stayed at the Villa Malee for three nights before boarding our sailboat. The villa was very clean, and everyone enjoyed their stay. The highlight was the two meals that the staff prepared. Excellent!The walk to the beach was very long; I wouldn't recooomend it.
