For the third time, we were able to spend our vacation at Klaus and Marlies' Villa Malee Garden. The two are wonderful hosts, open to every wish, surprising us with great excursion ideas. The house itself and the property are beautiful, planned and equipped with so much attention to detail that you truly want for nothing. A housekeeper and gardener took care of us lovingly, ensuring tasks like our laundry being regularly washed and ironed, or serving us fresh coconuts or other fruits from the garden on the breakfast table whenever we wanted. Additionally, a property manager and his Thai wife are always on-site, stocking the new bar excellently, even offering us the luxury of being cooked for on the spot, including freshly grilled fish from their own pond!
Entertainment is also well taken care of: pool, music system by the pool, chess, bocce, table tennis, billiards, darts, a grand piano... every wish was fulfilled, and there was no boredom, not even for our 5 teenagers aged between 17 and 23.
The beach is within walking distance (approximately 2-3 km), although having a car is recommended, for day trips, and also for dining in the evenings at one of the larger beaches (Dolphinbay, Khao Kalok Beach, Pak Nam Pran) by the sea.
The property is adjacent to the Sam Roi Yot National Park, featuring beautiful attractions (e.g. Phraya Nakhon Cave) but remaining unspoiled by tourism. One can still experience elephants in the wild here or even feed wild monkeys. Klaus always has a great idea for activities. If one desires a bit more excitement, Hua Hin with its attractions such as the night market, water park, shopping malls, etc., is easily reachable in 40 minutes by car.
What we all find so special about this property is that you can enjoy the peace and relaxation of a private holiday home, while having the comfort and luxury of a well-maintained hotel. It's the perfect combination!
