“Stunning luxury beachfront villa ”
I was able to enjoy a stay with my family at the Akatsuki villa this July. The villa is beautifully designed and set on one of the most picturesque beach settings with amazing sunset views. Jack and the staff were amazing and made us all feel very much at home during the stay. The food was amazing with a great menu to choose from to keep all the family happy. Thank you villa Akatsuki for the wonderful stay and we hope to visit again.

“First rate villa with exemplary service.”
Renting villas via the internet can sometime be hit and miss. Reviews are useful but different people have differing expectations and one persons 5 star is another person 2. The combination of a quieter west coast location and the clear Japanese influenced aesthetic were what attracted us to this property initially. The property and the service did not disappoint, Kuhn Jack and Nina run a very effective operation, succeeding in being highly attentive but not intrusive. The food was exceptional, so much so that prior restaurant reservations were hastily cancelled to allow us to gorge on Em’s fine Thai fare. The 2 kgs that I accumulated in 8 days attested to its quality and quantity! I looked hard to find fault with this package and failed. Highly recommended.

“There should be a sixth star for this place.”
This place is way better in real life than what it looks like on the website.
The Japanese design is just perfect for this style of villa. There is a certain tranquility that embraces you and it is the best holiday break we have ever had. All the facilities are six star and the villa is immaculately maintained. The pool and the beach area I just incredible and you can spend hours in the water. We had a sit down dinner for 32 people on the front lawn and it was memorable. The food was first class and the fairy lights and flowers just added a special touch for a special function. The staff are incredibly helpful and cannot do enough for one. They are incredibly helpful and cannot do enough for one. The chef Em is wonderful and the food is fine dining all the way. The manager Jack cannot do enough for one and is just a lovely human being. His main assistant Nina and the rest of the crew are absolutely amazing too. Even the massages were the best ever. We have no criticism of any sort. Just special.

“Luxury, Privacy & Beach”
For our annual boys trip our requirements were simple – “Luxury, Privacy & Beach” and Villa Akatsuki delivered us all the above three.
We were picked up by the manager jack from the airport and we reached the villa after a drive about 45 min and were warmly welcomed by the entire staff of 8, we were simply blown away by breathtaking architecture of Villa Akatsuki as we step into this elegant Thai villa which is located on beachfront and offers a full panoramic view of enchanting Lipa Noi bay.
The MAIN highlight of the villa is amazing staff including villa manager Jack, Asst Manager Ning, we had amazing breakfast out door daily & one evening has an amazing barbecue cooked by chef Yada and not to forget house keeper who made our laundry daily thus making our stay at Villa Akatsuki a memorable one.
Villa Akatsuki is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the ocean’s breeze & forget all the worries of this world & feel how blessed you are to enjoy this amazing villa.

“Soulful retreat with impeccable staff.”
We had the pleasure of spending 11 days at Akatsuki and felt at home from the first moment. All our wishes were accommodated for by the villa manager and the rest of the staff. The food was exceptional every day, we were not disappointed once. The architecture of the villa is extraordinary, the Japanese influence mixes well with the tranquility of Lipa Noi Beach. Special requests were tended to, massages, restaurants and other activities were arranged effortlessly.

“It felt like a home away from home.”
My family celebrated my sister’s 50th birthday at this resort. It is a resort which is lapped in luxury, we have the place to ourselves!! So it felt like a “home away from home”. From the time we arrived into the airport, we were welcomed by Jack, the manager and were whisked into a large comfortable van to the place. Once we arrived, the thai hospitality was just so well received by all of us. The rooms are comfortable and designed with a lot of wood and influenced by japanese arcitecture! The only weakness i can think of was probably one or 2 rooms which did not have the beach facing and they could improve on the ventilation of the rooms.
The food cooked by the thai chef was ever so delicious and every day, we could request and discuss with Jack on what we liked to have in our meals! It really felt like as if we had a high class butler at home! He organized for us the outdoor activities which included hiring our own boat to go fishing, kayaking and the night market. We were there for 3 nights and it felt it was not enough!
