We were a family of 7 adults and 2 babies. We usually make our annual family trip to Hua Hin. This time, we decided to try Villa Nilaya due to its many good reviews.
We called the owner from the advertised mobile number and asked her many questions about the villa. Surprisingly, the owner was very calm and patient and gave us all the answers to our queries.
We politely asked whether we could rent the villa for just 2 nights since we are locals from Bangkok. Luckily, she agreed since our booking was done at least 2 months in advance.
The villa provided 2 full-time housekeepers to assist us with all our needs.
The villa had 5 rooms. There were 3 rooms in the main building, while the other 2 rooms are in a connected building.
Although the swimming pools are shared with other villas, there were no problems since the pools are big.
We would definitely come back next year. Highly recommend for privacy.

We rented this villa for 10 days and really loved spending our holiday here. the main house is very nice with lovely bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms. And what a joy to wake up to breakfast ready at nine with the staff ready to cook us eggs and bacon at our desire. After breakfast we went to the beach sala and spent hours on the deck in front of the sala, swimming, reading and sunbathing. The staff who live in a room just outside the kitchen speak thai, and not any other language. All important communication is done through Bee the house manager. We used messenger to text her, and she replied within minutes. We had massages several times at the spa sala, organized by Bee and at a very good price. The staff made dinners at our request and we had thai food and enjoyed the food a lot. Most evenings we had food made by the staff, but some evenings we went to the 'beach restaurant " next to the property and enjoyed the food there as well. The rooftop terrace is the best terrace I have ever seen, such a vast terrace with a large dining table and lots of comfortable relaxing furniture. Even though the house is part of a resort we felt quite a lot of privacy and not too disturbed by others. We used the facilities of the resort and played tennis, table tennis and used the gym. The beach outside the house is really deserted, not a lot of people and nice for long strolls on the beach.

After having stayed at this resort before on a beautiful mini vacation, we decided it would also be an ideal place to hold our wedding party of about 100 people.

With the main house, two salas, a big common area and a large, beautiful rooftop (we must have had over 60 people up there at one point) that overlooks the beach and ocean...the Villa comfortably fit our 100 person celebration.

Each time, Pui and the staff has been kind, welcoming and incredibly helpful. Their cooking is delicious and they keep the place impeccably clean. After the late night party, I woke up early to start cleaning up a bit...only to find they had already cleaned the whole villa! It looked like we had just arrived.

The beds are soft and the rooms are dark, which we also love! Combined with the sound of waves, it is impossible not to have a good nights rest.

This villa really is an ideal place for a large celebration such as our wedding party OR a private getaway; as our first trip here was.

I usually don't bother writing too many reviews on the Internet...but I whole heartedly recommend this place and want to share the news to othersl. We plan on coming back soon for some work related functions.

Enjoy!

We had a lovely stay, but the rooms are part of a larger complex. The grounds and pool are shared with a large complex and it's not totally clear on the website. It's not a private villa. If you have rented villas in other parts of Asia and expect the amenities that usually come with a villa then don't rent this place. The 2 people that worked at the complex only spoke Thai and communication was hard. They were very pleasant and kept the place clean for us. They were never in our way, but tended to the house needs well. The only service that was provided was breakfast, which was basic but good.
If you're looking for nice rooms in a pretty setting, then this place is good, but I wouldn't call it a private villa as that implies a bit of luxury (usually a private cook,driver, etc). The staff did call for a masseuse and taxis when we needed it, but not without a bit of confusion. All in all it was nice, but not fantastic. The only other thing that was weird was that the 2 separate 'salas' didn't lock, which was awkward because as mentioned, the grounds weren't really private so people did wander into the space.
