Baan Napa The open plan sitting room and dining room both contain furniture that has been made to our specifications.
Baan Napa is a villa of immense proportions; natural elements used throughout include tall, cathedral-like teak ceilings, large glass folding doors and materials such as traditional tropical hardwood doors and marble floors to extenuate the design.
Arriving at the front of the villa, the traditional Thai gate leads to a wooden bridge, which takes you up to the elegant carved front doors, just hinting at the luxury within. When the doors open, the views through the house, across the pool and out onto the ocean will simply take your breath away. Stepping into the villa, you'll instantly recognise the magnificence of this property. The traditional architectural features are blended perfectly with a mix of contemporary anglo and Thai furniture, all fashioned out of natural materials, that create a modern, stylish and luxurious envirminated by a large teak table and eight solid teak chairs. The sitting room has solid teak coffee tables and chairs in a mixture of Anglo/Thai styles, together with cream, comfy sofas that are watched over by a beautiful teak Buddha wall carving. The folding doors from both the dining area and sitting room, lead onto a very large balcony, with stunning views over the swimming pool and gardens to the sea beyond, offering a genuine indoor/outdoor living experience. The room is wired with speakers to a powerful i-Pod music unit, allowing you to select from hundreds of tracks of all styles of music - or you can bring your own i-Pod to plug in. It also has a wireless remote control to give you full control of your i-Pod from all over the villa.Just off the dining room is a small, stylish cloakroom.

The sofas have been designed to be used as a king-size double bed if required. Just off this room is another, spacious, en-suite wet room, with a basin on a black granite plinth and shower area.
Steps from the television room lead down to the main terrace and swimming pool, which is surrounded by large planters full of bougainvillea and other colourful plants. Six teak sun beds line the pool edge, together with stylish cream sun umbrellas and teak tables. The azure-blue pool is over 40 square metres and is a constant 1.5 metres deep, with shallow steps leading in at one corner - its infinity edge merges the pool with the sea, just 40 metres away. The pool is ideal for both leisurely and serious swimming. There is also a pool shower to one side of the terrace.
From the terrace, taking the teak walkway, steps lead up to the expansive games room. This is open to the terrace and pool and has a full-size slate-bed red baize-covered pool table, dart-board and table tennis facility, together with a rattan table and chairs. A door at the end leads into the large storeroom, housing back-up generators, one for each building, in case of occasional power failures.
Two metre wide steps lead down from the swimming pool terrace to the staff quarters and to the walkway below the swimming pool, with its unique natural slate-faced waterfall edge. Further steps at the end of the walkway lead down to the large Thai-style sala, which has stunning views across the Thai Gulf.The sala has rattan furniture comprising a large table, six chairs and a barbeque - ideal for barmy evenings, eating dinner in the tranquil surroundings, or just sipping tropical cocktails. It is also wired with outdoor speakers attached to the Music Unit in the sitting room and comes with a wireless remote control, to allow you to select the music that fits the mood, without leaving the sala.
The villa has immaculately landscaped gardens surrounding the property. The large lawn area, below the swimming pool, leads to steps that take you down to the rocky water's edge, where you can swim in the sea, fish or sunbath on the huge granite rock slabs that edge the sea.
LocationBaan Napa is situated close to Thong Nai Pan beach, on the idyllic north coast of Koh Phangan, Thailand. This unspoiled corner of the island provides the perfect setting for Baan Napa, nestled amidst the coconut palms and looking out across the Gulf of Thailand.
Guest Reviews
Wow! What an experience. What a villa! Baan NaPa exceeded our greatest expectations as a place to stay with friends and family on Koh Phangan. The quality of the villa itself, as well as the furnishings and decor, was exceptional. The photos of the villa on the website don't begin to do justice to how nice this villa actually is.
The staff of KP, Ian, nik and Andy were incredibly helpfull, assisting us with numerous and varied queries and demands in the lead up to our wedding on Thong Nai Pan beach. It seemed nothing was too much trouble for them, including helping us with food, transport and transfers, and even locating friends that went missing on the island!
Chai and Deng, the two villa staff onhand, went out of their way to ensure all our needs were catered for and that our stay was all we could have hoped for. Our entire group also had the opportunity to enjoy Deng's fabulous Thai cooking, which was such a wonderful treat for us all.
The part of the island the villa is located on, Thong Nai Pan Noi, is a quieter and more secluded area of Koh Phangan, giving us breathing space from the madness of Haad Rin, but still only an adventurous drive from all the island has to offer.
I would most definitely recommend Baan NaPa to anyone looking for a beautiful home type environment on this most unspoiled and beautiful of Thailand's beaches on what we think is the best island Thailand has to offer.
Again, we thank you all for providing us with the incredible opportunity to experience Baan NaPa.
Sincerely,
Maurice and Mariana Johnston
Melbourne,
We stayed here in Ban Napa 2 weeks. The location is peaceful and amazing. Deng and Chai were great!!! When needed something, they arranged it. Deng is an excellent cook, you really must taste her cooking. GREAT two weeks we will recommend this place to all our friends.
Kati and friends
We had an excellent stay in this wonderful place. The house gave us no end of pleasure. Deng and Chai took excellent care of us and made us feel at home. We will certainly recommend the Ban Napa to our friends.

After travelling through Thailand for 2 weeks arriving in this beautiful, peaceful haven was just what we needed. Deng and Chai looked after our every wish. Deng spoilt us with her cooking which was amazing. (word of warning though - when Deng says 'not too spicy' that doesn't necessarily mean the same as your not too spicy!!!
We travelled the island but decided that Tong Nai Pan beaches were the best really!!!!
We have had a lovely time at Baan Na Pa it is a beautiful place. Thank you all.
