Ataman Luxury Villas

Ataman Villas was truly amazing! We were in need of a relaxing and peaceful family holiday and that is EXACTLY what we had! The actual Villa was perfect - MUCH bigger than we expected and perfect for our family of 6+ grandma who travelled with us! The pool was huge, everything was clean and comfortable! The staff were phenomenal! So attentive and friendly we could not have asked for better service! Alex who hosted us was very accommodating, helpful and responsive both before and during our stay! The food was great, something for all of us and we never got tired of the menu! The Massages were absolutely Devine and again the people just so friendly. Would definitely come back again! Loved it

Location, Location, Location! Attaman Luxury Villas will provide you with an extremely spacious and completely private luxury refuge at a beach (respectively whole Island) that has not been hit by masses of tourists, yet. We booked one of the Honeymoon Villas beginning to mid November 2023. The resort consists of 6 Villas (with 5 of them for rent) managed by a Caucasian family with Thai employees. We had our most relaxing holiday, yet, and definitely got more than we came for. Alexander, lovely Groundmanager Key and all staff went out of their way, to tend to our wishes. Natalia and Alexander also organised trips to the main land for us. The Decorations of the Villas are luxury  (e.g. Crystal chandeliers), with the Villas being as mentioned above extremely spacious - we had to literally call each other's names when looking for each other in our place. Besides the multiple and extremely generously spacious joint areas (Dinning room, kitchen, living room, hall, pavilion, porches, terrasses, extra toilets, utilityrooms..), our Villa had next to the master bedroom 2 extra Ensuite bedrooms that were locked. So, even though there were bigger (e.g. Two-story) Villas available, our place would have offered more than ample of space for a family of 6 or e.g. 3 couples. Every Villa also sports a massive 6x12m private pool with a sizeable shared pool on the grounds. The most amazing attribute is the complete privacy in the Villa and at the private pool - only at 9:30 am Dimitri will walk over the ground to feed the fish in the Zen Ponds. Sometimes there might be a gardener, depending what works are necessary on the grounds. One can always ask for any upkeeping to be done when one is out, though. We e.g. were having breakfast at the main building at a different time every day and staff would fit their schedules around it. Since it was beginning of season, there were some small hiccups in the Villa, but, no matter what time of day or night there was an immediate reaction by Alexander and/or staff trying to fix it. Location: the Resort is set in a Tropical Garden with views of the sea. A picture postcard path between some trees leads to the wide and especially long sandy beach. To the north there is e.g. only 1 resort, after that there are almost 9km of sandy beach before there is the next resort. It was beginning of season and we met only 2 fisherman on a walk there. So heaven, if you are keen to unwind and recharge. To the South, there is a Naturalist Resort and another Resort (both have restaurants that can be used on walk in basis). After that, it will take a 25min walk on the beach before the next place and from there even longer to the next... Wildlife: at sunset and sunrise (about 6pm/6am), cicadas will start to "sing" for a few minutes, which is quite intriguing and something one starts waiting for. At night frogs will have a concert, which also gives the place another special appeal. As to Thai Wildlife in general: The Villas are of cause fully a

I stayed at this villa for two weeks, and it was a very nice experience. The stay was very quiet and private, and the staff did their best to ensure that we enjoyed our time there. They also suggested and organized itineraries for nearby attractions. The villa was clean, private, and had both common and private pools available for use. The restaurant was open when needed. All the villas there had plenty of room for multiple families, with everything you need, from TVs to kitchen appliances. Wifi worked well in all areas, including on the beach. However, there was always something that could have been done better. My separate bedroom also included a toilet and shower (all bedrooms had that), but there was a problem with the ventilation that caused bad smells. While the breakfast varied during the stay was quite ok, whenever possible, I decided to have lunch and dinner elsewhere. I really enjoy original spicy Thai food, which was only offered at neighboring restaurants. They were also missing BBQ sets; it would be nice to organize something on the beach. Don't get me wrong, the restaurant's quality was okay, and the staff was super nice, but I think it was more catered towards Western tastes. Having dinner on the beach with oil torches would be better than in the middle of the hotel complex. The spaghetti bolognese was good, but the portion size was for Thai people :) One night took "Chicken with cashew nuts" from hotel restaurant, it was super size and super good. But usually the restaurant was rather expensive compared to what you actually get. When staying at the villa for such a long time, it would be nice to have reasonable prices for common things. One annoying thing was the aircon; it was keeping some noise outside of my sleeping area nearby. Even though I didn't use it at night, other rooms were probably using the same outdoor unit. The owner also warned about using too much electricity, which is rather strange. I would recommend this villa to those who want to get away from "it all" and enjoy great privacy, such as for company events like we had, or with families for a long weekend. Enjoy the very long golden beach and incredible night sky with no light pollution. This small island can driven from pier to pier less than 30 minutes with moto. Moto is mandatory to getting around, you can forget taxis.
