    Luxurious Private Resort

    We arrived at The Aquila Villa and were welcomed by the staff, as bags were whisked off to our rooms. As we began our descent from the parking area, all stress washed away once we saw the fantastic view of the Andaman Sea. This non-stop view is truly spectacular and is just one of the many perks of staying at The Aquila.

    Our rooms were large, well decorated and all had some fantastic views of the sea (some also had private outdoor showers). We were truly staying at our own, private, luxury resort. The staff ensured that our stay was as stress-free and relaxing as possible. Their willingness to help with anything allowed for us to have a constant feeling of peace. The Chef’s menus were tasty, well-thought out and extensive.

    Aquila is built on a cliff and, at daylight and sunset, local eagles put on a show by soaring over the sea. The sounds of the jungle and the waves below were ever ever-present. The infinity pool enhances the serenity and tranquility, as you look out across the vast horizon getting lost in the sounds of nature. The game room with billiards and ping pong provided a handy escape from the sun, and occasional, rain.

    There are many beaches and towns nearby, but our favorite was Surin Beach. You really do not ever need to leave Aquila though, as the food and the view are better than you will experience going out to the surrounding areas. We still imagine ourselves sitting at the outside dining table, daydreaming of the great meals and breathtaking scenery.

    We also had wonderful massages in The Aquila’s spa room that were arranged by the staff. If you are looking for a relaxing, beautiful and amenity filled villa to rent on Phuket that will calm your soul with great views and service, The Aquila Villa will meet your every need and exceed even the greatest expectations.

    This Will Ruin Your Future Travels!

    I reviewed ALL the pictures I could find before I got here, and still it left me speechless.

    With every room facing the ocean, the view doesn’t get much better than this. The Villa itself is breathtaking and won’t leave you disappointed. The privacy is really something you will appreciate. Even coming here as a big group, you will be able to find your own space and privacy (the villa is massive with more lounge areas than what you will use!). From the glassed runway to the cool stairs that connects all floors, to the infinity pool – and don’t get me started on the bedrooms!

    And just when you think you’ve seen it all – you get the sunset. UNBELIEVABLE! We will find it hard to “downgrade” back to real life.. Thank you Aquila for an amazing experience.

    World Class Villa In a Stunning Location

    To say that I had been stunned with the Aquila is to say nothing. Located in a picturesque cliff and complimented by an infinity pool, villa boasts 7 bedrooms and 8,5 bathrooms, a library, a home theatre, a game room, a dining room and even a private spa!!!

    The calmness of the grandiose villa that is surrounded by an exotic tropical forest i could only compare to some delightful venues in Cote D’Azure.

    We had been greeted by all the staff at the arrivals and throughout the stay we had been treated as royalties, being served by the private chef, waiters and an amazing butler Deaw.

    I can assure you-you will have enough entertainment in the villa itself but once you want to go out in town, a car with a driver is to your service for a quick 20 min ride to one Phukets lavish restaurants or a fun boasting Walking street.

    Back to The Aquila you will find your dinner cooked and rooms are fresh and ready for a restful and relaxing night.

    True bliss. Highly recommended.

    Speechless… Going to Ruin All Future Vacations

    Words can’t describe this place. Pictures don’t do it justice. You have to stay here to understand how magnificent and perfect everything is.

    No real reason to leave the villa compound. It’s better than anything you’d see in a movie. Every meal that’s cooked for you was delicious.

    Bummer now that I’m going to have to try and not compare my future vacations to my stay here.

    Loved everything about our incredible week at the Aquila. The views, the pool, the facilities, the tech, the rooms all get 5 stars from us. What made our time truly special was the team who looked after us – you won’t find more welcoming, attentive, energetic and thoughtful people than Diew, Boom, Chef and the entire team at the Aquila. They catered lovingly to every single one of our needs and made us feel so at home and relaxed. Only been home for a month and we are already planning a trip back!

    “Straight From a Hollywood Movie”

    This is the type of villa that needs to be experienced to be believed. A simply magnificent clifftop location on a perfectly secluded private bay. Nothing but jungle on either side and the most amazing villa you could ever imagine.

    Infinity pool, rainfall showers, day-spa, games room. Its got it all, along with an amazing chef and staff. Words can’t describe The Aquila, you need to feel it!

    A guest at the Aquilla for five days including a family wedding. Rooms are massive and stylish, communal areas likewise. Beautiful pool and top notch staff for who nothing is a problem.

    Add to that amazing coral reef to snorkle around and its heaven on earth. If you are thinking of staying somewhere different or have a special occasion to celebrate this is the place to go.

    “AMAZING!”

    We needed a place for a big family and I’m glad we settled on the aquila. This villa was beautiful and the views were breathtaking. Enjoyed every moment. Only thing was that our grandmother found it difficult to get around and they did say an elevator would be installed which would make it perfect!

    Nothing to complain about this stay would be one to remember!

    “Feels like heaven..”

    We stayed at the Aquila Villa in the beginning of January. To say the villa exceeded our wildest expectations would be an understatement. The Aquila is simply extraordinary! From the time we arrived, we were treated like VIP’s by the staff. We continued to be impressed with their professionalism throughout our stay, and no request seemed to bother them. They always seemed to be nearby somewhere at just the right moment. The villa manager always tried to do that little bit extra to ensure we had the most relaxing holiday we had ever experienced.

    I was amazed at the beautiful outlook from every room. The quality and cleanliness of each room was outstanding.The villa is located in a jungle oasis with beautiful ocean views. The villa is a haven of tranquility. Don’t come here if you want the hustle and bustle of Thailand, but if you want a truly luxurious getaway, this is the place for you. The food at the villa was excellent. They had a wide range of menu options, and the villa manager would check our preferences each morning to give the Chef time to make us some delicious meals.

    Honestly cannot speak too highly of the Aquila, and it’s exceptional staff. If you
    are looking for a truly first class, exceptional holiday, this is the place. Would I stay here again? Definitely. Would I recommend it to others? Absolutely! The Aquila is without doubt one of the best villas in Thailand, and probably South-East Asia as well!

    “There is a reason they call this a supervilla..”

    Actually there are many reasons.

    The sheer audacious size of the villa is staggering – 4 pavilions with over 35,000sq feet of living space. So after 2 days of wandering around the villa i finally got to see every room in the villa.

    There are effectively 4 living rooms. Once of those has a private bar, a pool table, and a private movie theater set up at the other end. Which is next to the private gym in the adjacent room.

    Could not spend enough time in the pool. Endless horizon – amazing view – as its in a bay lots to look at – boats cruising past – sometimes as curious about us and swinging closer to see who is handing out at the pool at a villa like this.

    The there is the spa, and the amazing food served by a very friendly and professional team.

    I cannot say enough nice things about it – recommending to all my friends.

    tip – if you get your choice of bedrooms (there are basically 3 masters in the 7 bedrooms) ask for the Suite room.

    “Living the dream…”

    Staying in this villa is like living in a dream, it topped all our expectations with ease. Upon arrival in this secured domain we were welcomed by the friendly staff with a refreshing coconut drink. Subsequently we were guided throughout the villa, we were blown away by the outstanding luxury architectural design and especially amazed by the ocean views. The villa consists of a main building with three levels and several separate buildings containing the 7 bedrooms including 7 bathrooms.

    My bedroom had a highly comfortable bed, walk-in closet, a sitting area and an amazing bathroom including an outdoor shower with view on the Andaman sea. Waking up with these fantastic views feels extra-ordinary. Thanks to the chef of the villa we discovered the delicious Thai cuisine, he made us numerous traditional Thai dishes and a Thai barbecue with fresh seafood. The villa is perfect to spend quality time with family and friends. A part from enjoying the infinity pool, you can swim in the sea (direct access from the villa), snorkelling in its own reef, there is a extended library, movie room, a private spa, gym, and much more to do. In the neighborhood you can find some wonderful beaches as well.

    This is a place where you can truly disconnect from the world within a few hours after arrival and escape from the busy world and your daily hectic life. We sincerely had the best time here. Again a big thank you to the staff who made our stay unforgettable.

    Reward For Our Valued Employees

    Our company decided to reward us for a very successful year by arranging a short holiday in Thailand. We were chauffeured from Phuket airport to a secluded villa, Aquila.

    WOW, nestled on its own secluded headland with amazing views over the Andaman Sea, Villa was something else, openplan living with infinity pool, accomodation for the ten of us. Surprise was the huge games room with large tv, pool table etc plus bar with beer on tap, yes, beer on tap. Loved the food and staff were ever ready to satisfy yet unobtrusive.

    Great to have the whole gang together away from work. Would strongly recommend to any company wishing to treat their staff to something special which I am sure they would.
