    We recently held our wedding at Villa Kalyana in Koh Samui, Thailand with the wonderful Rebecca at the helm and as our wedding planner. We literally had the best wedding you could hope for, and we wanted to leave this review for other couples who might be considering Kalyana for their special day. We booked our wedding in October 2018 and it was originally planned for May 2020, unfortunately, due to pandemic we had to postpone our wedding 3 times, but we finally said I do Friday 25th February 2022. As you can imagine dealing with multiple postponements on our side was tough, especially given we also booked the travel for all our guests including further stays in Koh Phangan and Bangkok after the wedding week. But Rebecca gracefully was dealing with multiple weddings being postponed and moving goalposts every single day, and you would never have known it. She patiently supported us every step of the way and without a doubt made Feb 22 happen, with us both dealing with ever changing Government rules of entry, Rebecca moved heaven and earth to gain SHA+ status allowing the wedding to finally go ahead. It felt like Rebecca became an immigration, travel, government policy expert along with personal therapist to make this happen. We are so grateful and as are our 37 guests who came with us and my ever so proud parents. Putting that aside our wedding week was phenomenal! We hosted 3 events the first being a surprise birthday party on the Monday after we arrived on the Sunday for some of guests who had significant birthdays during lockdowns. Rebecca and the team organised an outdoor BBQ, DJ and Karaoke which everybody loved. We then hosted a further surprise on the Wednesday with a boat party on a floating bar called Heaven, this was the most fun day and because we couldn’t attend the full moon party Rebecca got us lots of Neon face paints, fancy dress, wings you name it she got it and it turned it into our very own full moon party floating out in the bay in the Samui. Finally, we then got to the wedding day on the Friday, and everything went to plan, and we couldn’t have wished for a better day. Rebecca and Beau managed all our suppliers and only choosing the very best to meet our brief which she massively guided us on every step of the way. We had the most stunning décor and the ceremony was just stunning in front of the ocean, we further surprised our guests (we LOVE a surprise) with our best friend marrying us and a Drag Queen stopping the ceremony to perform it should have been me (see social media, legendary) and then on to a Thai Water ceremony which we highly recommend, it brings all your guests into the ceremony and it feels quite spiritual and has so much meaning. We then had cocktails & canapes, a beautiful wedding breakfast which every said was the best Thai food they have ever tried! We went for the fire show which the guests LOVED and the pictures are out of this world and finally we danced the night away with a Saxophonist and DJ which bought it all together really well. So again, we say massive thank you to Rebecca, Mamm, Beau and all of the team at Villa Kalyana. You are the very best at what you do, and you will forever be in our hearts, you made our dreams come true and we are eternally grateful. Anyone considering getting married in Samui, consider Kalyana it’s the best decision you will ever make.

    Our family stayed at Villa Kalyana last week for 5 nights for my little cousin's wedding and had the time of our lives. Our villa was kept impeccably clean, with the perfect amount of privacy but convenience and splendid view of the pool, grounds and beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the service impeccable, the food delicious, and no detail was left untended. My husband and children and I were sad to leave and most grateful for our time there. Would highly recommend Villa Kalyana and it would be a dream to get to return someday.

    My husband and I recently visited Villa Kalyana with a group of friends for a beautiful wedding!  This was our first time to Ko Samui and my first time to Thailand.  We could not have enjoyed our experience more.  The rooms were spacious and beautiful with incredible views.  We loved spending time at the pools overlooking the beach. The ocean water was clear and warm.  The food cooked for us for every meal was delicious.  We enjoyed getting to know everyone that worked at the property.  We came back with so many amazing memories!  We can't wait to visit again!!

    This place has so many 5 star reviews. All of these are completely accurate about both the service, experience and especially Bec. We’re here to tell you about our wedding at Villa Kalyana. Before even booking, we spent a full day of our holiday driving around Koh Samui looking at weddings venues. We didn’t find anything inspiring and went back home to Australia a little disappointed. But then we found Villa Kalyana online. We made an enquiry, and from the outset Bec was nothing short of amazing. She truly made our wedding happen. She thought of everything to make our dream wedding a reality (more than we could have even considered). Her extensive knowledge, contacts around the island, and the staff around her made it all incredible. Her professionalism aside, Bec is warm, positive and genuinely cares and is invested in making your wedding the best that it can be. The villa itself is simply amazing. The wow factor you get when you arrive is just on a whole other level, and made a huge impression on us (even after we spent a LOT of time looking at the photos). It was breathtaking. It was like our own private island with all our wedding guests, we wish we’d stayed more than the 4 nights we’d booked. The food during our stay was fantastic, and we give massive props to the chefs for accommodating everyone. Speaking of staff, Mam and Sonia and the rest of the crew were incredible. They were so good with all our guests, especially the kids we had among our party. The wedding day itself was like a fairytale. We’d seen photos on Facebook of past weddings and thought we’d have to spend an exorbitant amount to achieve that, but it was all achievable in our budget. Bec’s hands on approach made sure things ran smoothly, she coordinated all the vendors, took care of everything and was a legitimate angel at every single stage. Even with the coronavirus closing in on the world (and we think we were the last wedding guests they had before international travel stopped) we had an absolute blast. All our guests had nothing but high praise for Bec, the staff and the villa. We really cannot recommend this place enough. If you’re considering a wedding anywhere in Southeast Asia, this is where you need to have it.

    I was lucky enough to experience this incredible villa for a full week alongside friends and family for my sister's wedding. From the second we arrived to the villa, it was 5-star service everyday all day. I honestly can't say enough nice things about Rebecca, Mam, Sonya and the amazing villa staff. They truly went above and beyond to make sure that the guests felt comfortable and relaxed. Not to mention, they were able to throw an EPIC wedding for my sister pretty last minute. The property itself is so luxurious yet you still get that island vibe since you have access to two crystal clear pools and your own private beach. Also, major props to the chef as every single meal, snack and dessert provided by the villa delighted all of our picky palates. It's safe to say that Villa Kalyana holds a special place in all of our hearts and we can't wait to come back in the near future!

    Spent one week here for sister's wedding. Looking to get shacked up now so I can go back. The grounds and food were certainly predictable highlights, but the service was beyond any expectation. Truly wonderful people at Villa Kalyana and I already miss them dearly, they'll make you want to go back! 5/5

    Spent a week here for a wedding and Villa Kalyana was more amazing than I ever could have imagined!! The villa is beautifully appointed and pristinely maintained. It's located on an exquisite beach at the bottom tip of the island so it feels very private. My room was super comfortable with everything I needed, and the views were incredible! Many wonderful indoor and outdoor common areas for entertaining and hanging out. The ocean is right there to enjoy, and several pools and lounge areas sit just in front of the beach. We had visits from masseurs and a yoga instructor, all of whom were excellent. The food onsite was so delicious I looked forward to every meal! Many many thanks to the lovely staff who were so sweet and helpful. Such a wonderful and special place!

    Amazing villa and staff! We had our wedding here in March 2019 and it was the trip of a lifetime! It’s hard to know where to start with this review as I feel that nothing I can say will ever come close to describing the most incredible experience we were so lucky to have. We stayed for 5 days and the service was impeccable from start to finish. I thought planning a destination wedding abroad would be hard but Rebecca was phenomenal! She took care of every detail and made all of our dreams come true! We were pretty nervous about arranging a destination wedding across the world for 45 people, all of our guests were coming from the United States and some had never traveled international before! Rebecca instantly puts your mind at ease throughout all of the planning. Even the day of and day before the wedding she was so helpful in helping me not be nervous and remain calm. All of our travelers made it to the Villa easily with the transport they arranged from the airport. As soon as we arrived at the villa we were welcomed by the staff with welcome drinks and were just in awe of how beautiful the villa is. I had never seen it in person and had only seen pictures. The pictures do not do it justice, it is overwhelming how stunning the location and facilities are! It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen and I could not believe that this was where we were going to have our wedding. The villa is right on the beach and there are kayaks you can take to a nearby temple. The beach is beautiful as well as the 3 pools! The 3 villas are spread out enough that it isn’t loud if people are hanging out by the pool. The people that went to bed early couldn’t hear us at all. The 3rd villa has a cool pool that has colored lights in it that we had fun with. All 3 of the villas are gorgeous and have their own unique special things about them. The staff at the villa were absolutely incredible! The staff was so helpful in helping us to inflate the pool floats we brought. Mam and Sonja were outstanding! From minutes after arriving they made us feel as though they had known us for years and instantly put us at ease. They knew all of our guests names by day 2 and were always asking if everything was ok and if there was anything else they could do to help. They were so helpful in organizing lunch and transport for daily activities for the guests. Every single one of our guests were blown away by the service. We absolutely fell in love with Mam and Sonja and felt like they were part of our family! Rebecca is also phenomenal! She listened to exactly what we wanted and she delivered it far beyond our expectations. I don’t have words to do her justice except I just wish everyone could experience having their wedding day planned by her. Everything was absolutely beautiful, she was so helpful helping me to pick out the vendors and décor. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted at first and she was able to help me with ideas and finding great suggestions for me to pick from. She also arranged for fire dancers to perform at our wedding that were incredible! All of our guests said our wedding seemed like something out of a movie, some said it was the best wedding they had ever been to! On our wedding day, we were guided through the proceedings seamlessly, not having to think or worry about anything at all. Rebecca had everything planned perfectly. From start to finish, everything was perfect and we genuinely had the best day of our lives! Rebecca, Mam, Sonya and every single member of staff were just fantastic and genuinely wanted us all to have and amazing time. We honestly wouldn’t change a thing about our whole experience and all our guests have said the same (so much that they are all pushing for a Thailand reunion trip out there again for one of our anniversaries!) You have created such a special venue, team, and experience that we will be forever grateful for. We hope to see you again very soon! Trelle and Adriel

    I stayed at Villa Kalya for 1 week with ~40 others for an onsite vacation and wedding. It was all simply unreal from start to finish. Rebecca, Mam and the onsite staff were so thoughtful, and kind. The property itself was perfect for a group of 40 ,mostly couples—it was so well balances between congregating (big dining and seating areas, and more private areas (hammocks, and quiet nooks by the beach). I would say our number was perfect for this venue, and I wouldn't exceed 50 if you plan to eat each meal together. The beach is simply gorgeous. The wedding was the most unreal - there were so many surprises for guests and for the bride alike. I don't know that it's possible to experience something so amazing. My favorite things: Strong air conditioning, Excellent shower, Sunrise from the beach, Soft beach sand, Well-appointed gym, good coffee maker, and the food - thai, american - their cooking and the quality of the food was just so good, I couldn't resist seconds and thirds), and of course - the entire staff! —we all left in tears like we were leaving family.

    I find it difficult to find the words to describe Villa Kalyana and the experience we had there. It was an absolute dream. It was the perfect place for all our family to celebrate our special day, and was everything we hoped it would be and so much more. I’ve never stayed anywhere so luxurious, and the setting is absolute paradise. Mam and Sonja were so wonderful at looking after everyone and the food they put on for us was the best we had on the island! Rebecca was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process, during the planning she was always on hand to answer questions and put my mind at ease when I was stressing and she had so many amazing ideas that made our day truly unique. She perfectly executed the wedding of our dreams and we couldn’t be more grateful to her and the other wonderful staff that made it all happen. Thankyou for everything, I really hope we can return one day xxx

    We had an incredible experience at Villa Kalyana Koh Samui Thailand Beachfront. The location was beautiful: views, rooms, pool area, etc. We loved the staff as well - they were so lovely, and made us feel as though we really were at home. No question whether we would return if given the opportunity.
