Other nearby beaches are Laem Singh beach and Kamala beach, all within minutes of the villa.

We have a 70ft luxury catamaran which sails off the East coast of Phuket. We offer our villa guests a huge discount on a half or full day cruise on the yacht. this will give you an unforgettable day, sailing amongst tropical islands, swimming snorkelling or kayaking, or just relaxing in the jacuzzi on the yacht's pool deck, or the floating jacuzzies in the water. This is on a last minute standby basis only, if the yacht is not out on charter. Ask for information about the yacht, and for both the yacht and villa websites.
If this villa is booked for the time you want, please enquire, because I also let other villas close by, for friends. This is also useful if you have a very large group and want 2 or 3 villas close together. As we are often heavily booked, don't hesitate to ask if your dates do not quite fit our availability. We have a very nice reasonably priced guesthouse near the villa where you can spend one or two nights or so, if your dates do not fit our availability.

About Jacquie Pinnell
My name is Jacquie Pinnell, and my brother Richard is the owner of Villa Sanyanga, and the Yachts Shangani and Sanyati. He lives in Thailand and is a retired Captain with Cathay Pacific Airways. He runs Tigermarine Charter company in Phuket. I let the villa on his behalf. We grew up in England and Zimbabwe, and now he lives in Asia, and I live in Spain and France. With skype and emails we work closely together, and with Lily our Villa manager too, and are in constant contact with the letting of the villa and chartering the yachts Shangani and Sanyati.
Jacquie Pinnell purchased this villa in 2003
Why Jacquie Pinnell chose Phuket
Richard lives in Phuket with his wife and sons, and lived in Villa Sanyanga for several years, before moving to the East coast, closer to the boys' school and to the marina where the yacht Shangani is moored.
What makes this villa unique
The most fabulous thing about this villa, in my opinion, is the breath-taking view from the pool terrace, over the whole of Bangtao bay. But what makes it wonderful for holiday rentals is that it can take very large groups. Perhaps a family reunion for extended families spread out over many countries, or a group of friends celebrating a birthday. There is so much space and privacy in this beautiful villa. For instance, the garden level area alone can sleep 7 people, with lots of space, and is ideal when several different families renting the villa. Our biggest feature though, that sets us apart from other villas, is our staff. They are all exceptional people, and will do everything in their power to make sure you have a stress free holiday of a lifetime.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Posted on TripAdvisor end August 2015
5 of 5 starsReviewed August 31, 2015 for a stay in August 2015
We have just returned from 2 and half weeks of pure bliss at Villa Sanyanga. There were 14 in our party, 9 adults and 5 children, ages ranging from 73 to 4 years old. The Villa is so luxurious with beautiful views, and very spacious which suited our family group perfectly. Even though we travelled in August, the monsoon season, nearly every day we had beautiful sunshine with the odd shower or thunder storm but that only added excitement to the day.
Lilly and her staff were so helpful, and the cooking was delicious and plentiful. Jone drove us around everywhere, which added to the total relaxation of the holiday. The children fell in love with the staff and have returned home with many photos of them, my daughter even asked when we were going back to see them. Lillys' food was "out of this world" - cooking tasteful Thai food but also accommodating any requests we had.
Jacquies' help from start to end was top class. This holiday I can honestly say was the best I've ever had - the villa, staff, island and company were exceptional. If you ever have the chance to visit Thailand I would highly recommend it, and staying at Villa Sanyanga would be the perfect choice!

Amazing family holiday in paradise
Our party was made up of 18 people, flying in from Australia and England for special reunion birthday. Even before we arrived, we were so excited about our stay at Villa Sanyanga. We had all read the reviews - all excellent - and seen the amazing photos. But when we arrived we were still taken aback by the villa's thoughtful design and high end luxury, as well as its surrounding beauty. So much thought has gone in to the design of the villa which meant that 18 of us, with an age range from 60 years to 15 months, could enjoy so many aspects of it. With the morning view out to sea for breakfast, the beautiful coastal view in the other direction from the bathrooms to the amazing sunset view every single night from the sala. This villa captured it all.
The staff in the villa were nothing short of amazing. The food cooked by Lily is the best Thai food I've eaten by far. You will NOT be needing to go out for restaurant food, Lily will cook you anything you want. She can take orders or surprise you with her fantastic dishes. She has very good English and was a great help when we needed anything else sorted. Between her and Jone, the driver, there was nothing that we couldn't do or get our hands on. But the villa was so lovely, we didn't have too much of desire to leave and do too many outings! Nevertheless, Jone was there to run us about if we wanted and she always did so with a smile.
The sleeping accommodation is wonderful. Each room feeling spacious, far enough away form the other rooms to give privacy and maintaining luxury all the way through. With maids to tidy the room and take away any dirty washing, we really didn't have to lift a finger at all.
We had a wonderful family holiday and I would 100% return again for another holiday.
The perfect place to experience Phuket for the first time
I brought a photo and video crew from the US for a 10 day 'work plus' production to Phuket. We stayed at Villa Sanyanga and through their love and care we all had one of the greatest experiences of our collective lives. The chef and manager Lili is a gourmet chef and believe me that is an understatement. My brother-in-law lives in Bangkok and joined us at the villa, he assured me that there is no better Thai food in Thailand than what comes from Lily's kitchen. Every meal was spectacular and when asked Lili was happy to give us a cooking class (for 15 people!) so we could learn to cook our favorite dishes. She is a treasure and will be a very big reason why I return to Phuket. Her staff is fantastic and catered to our every need and ours were a bit more than the average travelers but that didn't phase them one bit. The driver Jone is a wonderful human being and tolerated our constant requests, we literally saw 80% of the island in Jone's van and she never lost her big smile. She helped my whole team feel safe and welcomed every time she opened the door.
As for the Villa itself, you have to see it to believe it. The photos are gorgeous but can not do it justice. To walk out of one of the gorgeous, separate locking entrances to the common dining room, every day...and see that gorgeous view was awe inspiring every single day. The suites are all gorgeous, the villa layout is perfect and the common areas are warm and inviting.
We Also chartered a boat from the Villa, a celebration of sorts for 20,people and none of us could believe how amazing it was. The crew plotted an amazing day for us including a fabulous clear water snorkeling spot, a gourmet lunch aboard this stunning power catamaran and then a breathtaking cruise to a unique little bar...on a rock..in the middle of the Andaman Sea. It all sounds to good to be true...and that's exactly what we thought as we enjoyed this life changing experience. If you are planning to visit Phuket, if you're thinking about it, think no further. Gather your friends, buy your tickets and stay at Villa Sanyanga. I've never experienced it's equal and I will be back for more because of it. I'm only on the plane back now and I miss it...and especially Lili already.
The absolute BEST decision we made was Villa Sanyanga
This was amazing! We are a family of ten with 8 kids ranging from two college students down to a kid who had just finished kindergarten. We read the awesome reviews. I am happy to say that the great reviews were spot-on. What an incredible experience. I am not even sure where to start.
Let me start with the home itself. It is a great location. You seem to have the ability to look out one side of the home and see an unbelievably beautiful view. Then you turn the corner and look out a different way and see something at least as beautiful. The rooms are fantastic. The setup is even better.
The home has everything. There is an entire large room to "chill out" and watch TV. There are outdoor tables. There is a large indoor, dining room type table. There are other tables for enjoying a BBQ meal while looking down on the beach. There is a beautiful pool that is part of the home so kids or others can go swimming and still be a part of the discussion that is going on. There is a bar downstairs (although we did not use it) in one of the rooms and simply an incredible setup for any large group. Incredible layout.
The truth is that the location and the layout of the home is not even the best part. The best part is the team. Lily is the cook and seems to run the team of four that is around the house. Her food was fantastic. Her personality was even better. We have never had better service anywhere in our lives. Whatever we needed or wanted was made. We are poor planners and changed our plans every day . . . or sometimes a few times a day. This team simply adjusted with a smile on their faces and made it happen. (One time we told them we would be gone all day and would not want dinner until late. I called mid-day and asked if they could throw together lunch for 10 with about an hour's notice. When we arrived there was a fantastic, made-to-order check prepared lunch. I do not even know how they pulled that off!)
In fact, Lily gave "cooking classes" to some our younger kids on 3 different days. Cooking and spending time with Lily became a highlight for some of my kids.
And then there is Jone. Jone is a driver that seems to know everywhere we wanted to go and was always ready for us. Having a personal driver always available made everything better. I am not sure what it is like to be royalty but I suspect it is like spending a week at Villa Sanyanga. Thank you to Lily, Jone, and the entire staff.
Perfect place to celebrate with family & friends
Well we had an amazing time in the Villa Sanyanga and the reason being was that we were soooooo well cared for. Not a thing to think about or a task to undertake. We all acknowledged the wonderful team and give thanks to them all anticipating our every need.
Because of the care given to every detail, we were able to relax and enjoy each other’s company as a family and create some very special memories.
So a big thankyou to everyone involved.
The perfect wedding holiday
We stayed for seven nights in in Villa Sanyanga and every single minute was great! The villa ist by far better than it appears on the website and the staff is outstanding. Lili prepared excellent dishes, always considering the wishes from us. Every meal was an event for our palate. There is no single point we could criticize: everyone was helpful and reliable in an unusal way: When you tell Lili to prepare the meal for 6pm, the mal was ready at 6pm! Always! And exactly at 6pm!
Jone is a careful and safe driver who made anything possible we had liked to see and the staff kept EVERYTHING clean - included our clothes. We arrived with a suitcase full of fresh clothes - and so did we leave. We lucky ones: no laundry to make at home.
But the best of all: the view from the terrace!!! Bang Tao Bay in front of us and a great view over the Andaman Sea to the left. The house surrounded by palms and trees that you get the impression of being in a small rainforest.
In short words: it was fantastic! The best accommodation I've ever been in (and I've been in many!).
Excellent family holiday, superbly run villa
A very well appointed villa with very helpful and friendly staff to make life so easy. The rooms are very comfortable and very clean, Lily does a wonderful job in the kitchen. Being up a steep hill, hence great views, having a driver, Jone, and vehicle to get you around is a joy.
Very little incentive to go to the beach when you stay by the pool.
The owners are very helpful and efficient.
Location
The villa is in the exclusive estate of Baan Thai Surin Hill, and is surrounded by a coconut palm grove, overlooking Surin Beach, with breathtaking views over Bang Tao beach and bay. It is 2 minutes drive from Surin Beach with many other beaches within a short drive, and the nearest golf course is 15 minutes away. There is a good supermarket only 5 minutes away, as well as many different restaurants nearby, from well known and luxury, to cheap and cheerful (and delicious!). The upmarket Plaza shopping centre is right by the entrance to the estate, with many boutiques selling clothes and artefacts. There is a wine shop at the entrance too.
Golf: 10 minutes from the famous Laguna Phuket golf course, with many other courses within 30 minutes drive.
