| "We, as a party of seven teachers stayed at White Azure for four nights for a relaxing half-term break. We were all amazed by the peaceful setting of the villa, giving us the most amazing views towards the horizon from all windows.
The villa was well equiped and Dominic (The owner) stopped at the local supermarket to allow us to get some basic provisions for our stay. You can also order food food from the local restaurants and Khun Noi or Mon, the lovely Thai managers of the Villa will deliver it for you.
The beach is a 10 minute walk to Than Sadet and is down a steep path but it much easier after you have managed it once and know the terrain.
Overall, we had an amazing time and would recommend the Villa for a relaxing break with breathtaking views and scenery."

| "We spent half of our honeymoon at the "white azure" and then moved on to other resorts on koh phangan.
Of course there are a lot of possibilities to stay on koh phangan, that are far cheaper - but the "white azure" cannot be compared to anything we encountered on our journey to thailand!
The location in the east of koh phangan is the most beautiful spot we´ve ever seen on the world. That is, if you like living quiet and peaceful surrounded by the jungle wildlife. Youll see amazing animals, lush green and an astonishing view over the sea. In the morning youll awake by the rising sun, that floods the bedroom and in the evening you can watch some gekkos on the hunt for insects in the living room. Except for the sounds of untouched wilderness (and sometimes a boat passing by) youll hear nothing else. Nearby you have the possibility to hike the than sadet waterfalls, wich were the only waterfalls during our stay on koh phangan, that were not dry.
Tho owner and staff are most pleasant people and are happy to provide anything you need.
Including laundry, food delivery, cleanig and taxi-service (by 4-wheel-drive normal taxis cant get to the villa! So make sure youll get picked up by Mr. Dominik with your baggage! Dont try to manage the arrival by normal taxi! Youll have to carry your baggage up the cliffs!)
Things you should prepare for:
- If not enjoying the villas private beach, youll have to walk down a steep cliff/stairs to reach the beautiful beaches than sadet and thong reng. Not to mention youll have to climb up afterwards... But the beaches are most idyllic, with fine sand shallow water and during our stay (september) very quiet/empty of tourists.
- In the "white azure" and in than sadet in general youll have no mobile service, except in the nearby (5 min walk) seaview resort.
But you have internet access via WiFi in the villa (bring your own laptop).
- Than sadet has no electricity, so youll depent on generated electricity, wich is swithed off at midnight. Afterwards the villa is powered by batteries, which last (depending on your power-consumption) long enough for the night.
The power-needs for the warm water sometimes exceeds the generator-capacity. But dont worry youll prefer a cold shower anyway, because of the hot climate.
- Life on koh phangan is fairly cheap, but the road to than sadet is so poorly built, that the taxi from Thong Sala (capital) to Than sadet beach costs about 1.000 Baht / 20 EURO.
- If youre looking for party and nightlife the paradise-villa "white azure" is not the right place to be, because its far from the main party locations and its not easy to get home at night.
- If you have a problem with nature and you are afraid of insects, spiders, lizards maybe its not the best idea to rent a villa "in the jungle".
- The "white azure" is built to enhance the feeling of open spaces, so the windows are very very spacious. This is no place for small children, because of the danger of falling out of the window!
It was the most pleasant and paradise-like holidays we ever had and well certainly come back again! Thank you!"

This villa was out of this world. I saw it from the sea when on a day trip to Thansadet waterfall and saw that it was for rent and took it for a few days. The views are amazing from everywhere. The bedrooms are spacious and always cool and breezy. The infinity pool was deep enough to always be cool and refreshing. The owner is really friendly and helpful when we needed advice or day trips organizing. The small walk to the beach is easy yet the villa still feels private and secluded. One of the most comfortable places I have stayed. A real gem and will definitely be coming back. Great value for $$$. So tranquil. Loved it!

This house is perfect for a getaway holiday.
Very comfortable with charming staff, always on hand to help with anything and to drive if necessary. Wonderful swimming off the rocks,
lovely garden and good little local places to eat. Great walks and beaches a few minutes away. Not suitable for small children.or the very elderly because there are steps down to the rocks. I will be back next year and would recommend this as a very special place to stay.

The views from this house are what sticks in my mind. The windows are so huge that you can lie in bed and look at the full moon reflecting on the sea.Lazing in the infinity pool watching the sun go down is another unforgettable experience. This was the most relaxing stay I have ever had anywhere and I highly recommend it to anyone as a completely unique getaway."

If you are looking for a fantastic luxury villa with all modern facilities yet dream of getting away from it all, White Azure certainly delivers.
With breathtaking panoramic views and infinity pool, the setting is magnificent and the house is a joy to stay in.
Although a very social house with open plan living, it still provides everyone with the opportunity to find his/her own space and get away to relax in private.
We all really enjoyed our time there and reveled in the snorkeling and jungle walks as well as the fantastic food and wonderful atmosphere.
Waking up to such views really recharged all our batteries and the teenage kids loved the wild surroundings and nearby restaurant culture.
All in all I cannot recommend White Azure enough and cant wait till next year when hopefully we will come out again with more friends to enjoy it all over again!
Thank you to everyone who together made our stay so enjoyable, you really know how to host the best parties and make your guests feel at home!

| "Without doubt the best thing about White Azure is the view. The photo on the website promises great things but the reality is even better. The ground floor of the house faces East (strictly South-East) so it gets the sun all day until mid-afternoon when the southern end of the building casts its own shadow over the pool, bringing welcome relief. While we were there (end of January) the weather was great sunny every day with cooling breezes off the sea.
The nearby beach is lovely with lots of trees to provide shade later in the day. The sea is warm and good for swimming. Plus, there are several beach bars/restaurants.
The on-site staff were friendly and helpful. I recommend that you write your requests down so they can be translated by the owner.
The road to the villa is not for the faint-hearted. You shouldnt even consider hiring a 4x4 and driving yourself unless you have lots of experience over difficult terrain. Both of the people who transported us around (the owner and his on-site helper) were great drivers and had a good vehicle so I would recommend that guests rely on them and save themselves the stress. Similarly, even though its a short distance to the beach, the path is not suitable for the elderly or those with walking difficulties but the owner and his helper are happy to drive you.
I recommend that you take advantage of the supermarket run when you arrive (the driver will take you) because there is nowhere to buy supplies once you get to Than Sadet.
The location, views and pool make it value for money and Id recommend White Azure to any reasonably fit people who want to get away from it all and hole up by themselves for a while."
