Arthaya Villas

Lovely breakfast and amazing place I order a smoothie bowl, a pineapple and banana shake and some coffee, it was so delicious. The staff at the place, are very helpful and kind. Im gonna stay here for 4 weeks. I can definitely recommend the place

Nice place room and gardens. Expensive cafe. Pool was broken when we stayed but we weren't informed, I just thought it looked really dirty so didn't go in. The pool was a major reason for booking this place, the owner could ve given us a discount,or even a free couple of coffees to make up for the absence of the pool, but she chose to charge us full price for everything. Her energy around money I think hoovers over the establishment, and you can feel it a bit in the slight tension in the other staff. That said, the gardens are beautiful and the rooms are nice. Not a very good location for walking to the beach as the closest one, around 10 mins away on foot, is approached by a red dust road and the dust blows up alot on windy days. A couple of restaurants within walking distance. You need a moped or motorbike if you stay here. Nice breakfast served. Cafe is only open in the daytime and was pricey, but the food/drinks were nice.

My partner and I have just spent 10 weeks at Arthaya Villas. That's right - 10 weeks! We are in our 70s and need to get away for 3 months of the English winter and we always spend that time in Thailand. Arthaya was recommended to us by some German friends who have stayed there twice before (and came again while we were there). They told us we would feel at home and comfortable, and we did. It was just what we wanted and we are so happy we went. Our villa was spacious and had a kitchen and lounge area. The bed was so comfy, the wifi was fast, and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Lovely pool and gardens, and beautiful coffee bar where you could eat until 6pm. Just gorgeous! The owner, Ya, is the kindest and most helpful host ever, and her small team of staff are absolutely wonderful. Liam, who keeps the villas immaculate, is always smiling and laughing. Ead, who is the chef, cooks the most beautiful food, and Lid, who can turn his hand to anything is amazing. If you're planning a trip to Koh Lanta, don't hesitate to book here. I can highly recommended it. Oh, and if you see Chatty Cat (small, cute, black and white with a tiny bit missing from her ear) please go and buy her a pack or two of cat food from the first 711 (turn left out of the drive). She'll love you forever, especially if it's the tuna flakes in jelly! Thank you so much Ya and team for a wonderful, relaxing, time!

We (family of 4 adults, 2 teens) had a great 4 night stay here. This was our last stop of 4 island hopping vacation. This was great value for money compared to other places we stayed. We were in a family villa- two rooms, one bathroom, kitchen, living area. They are wonderful clean villas and spacious. The kitchen has stove and oven but I’m not sure anyone would use it with so many great restaurants nearby! The pool and gardens are gorgeous. Pros: - clean rooms -beautiful pool and garden setting -spacious villas -nice table seating outside each villa -cafe has non-dairy options for all drinks! -best smoothie bowl! - 5 mins walk to two fab restaurants: the garden restaurant and Yang Garden -lovely helpful host! Khun Ya is really lovely -Netflix! This was great because my husband was sick for 3 days and wanted to just chill out in the villa. Cons: - not on the beach- it’s about 5-8 mins walk to a beach. If you have kids that are hard to motivate to move, then better to stay on a beach! - possibly a bit understaffed and busy during the peak period. - the villa doors should have mosquito screen door as another layer. It would have been nice to be able to have doors open for air circulation but there was no mosquito screen.

We loved our stay here! Everthing from the mattress to the coffee! The owner and staff are professional and kind! The food is excellent, no need to go anywhere else once you have checked in. The resort is a little sanctuary.
