The system

Guests are encouraged to meet with the villa manager and chef soon after their arrival to plan meals and discuss their preferences and any special dietary requests. The chef ideally needs a day’s notice to buy groceries and prepare meals. Guests who prefer to self-cater have the full Western kitchen at their disposal, and may request assistance with the grocery shopping (charged at cost plus a modest charge to cover petrol costs).

Food and beverage charges

The food material will be purchased by the chef and charged to guests at cost plus a small service charge. Receipts will be provided either daily or at the end of the stay – as preferred. It is also requested that the chef be given a ‘float’ to cover the grocery shopping.

Children at Villa Napalai Surin

The family friendly advantages of a villa holiday are many, including access to your own private facilities and the freedom to use them whenever you want. Knowing that the kids can run around happily, independently and safely, without you having to worry about other guests, is a real plus – and one that means parents are certain to have a more relaxed holiday too.

Villa Napalai Surin is an ideal family holiday villa. Kids will love the bright playroom stocked with toys and games and the adjacent garden area, which is fully enclosed to give parents some added peace of mind (supervision is recommended around the pool and terrace area). Kids, of course will love the pool, especially with its easy access to the kitchen and living room for swim breaks. When it’s time for some respite from the tropical sunshine, there are TVs with cartoon channels and DVDs to keep the wee ones entertained indoors, as well as the playroom.

The team of friendly staff at Villa Napalai Surin will make children feel as welcome as adults, and  for guests who wish to do some child-free exploring beyond the villa, babysitting services can be arranged for a small extra charge.

Although the equipped kitchen allows you to prepare meals for fussy eaters or babies with ease, staff will happily to do this for you – just talk through your requirements and meal schedules with the villa manager or chef and they will take care of the rest. Banana pancakes by the pool for breakfast? Toasted sandwiches in the playroom for tea? No problem. The chef can customise all meals to suit children’s taste buds. Don’t worry about packing all that cumbersome kids’ equipment for your stay. Just let us know what you need (the villa comes equipped with stair gates and a bed rail), and if it’s not already at the villa, we can hire on your behalf.

And when the excitement of exploring the villa starts to wear off, check out our Things to do page; there’s plenty in the area to keep kids of all ages amused throughout the holiday.

Spa

Feel like a relaxing massage in the comfort of the villa’s specially designed spa room? Or a poolside pedicure? Just ask our staff to bring the spa to you! We can arrange to bring in local massage and beauty specialists to help renew and restore your body and mind. Here’s just a sample of the treatments on offer:

Thai massage

An energising and rejuvenating healing technique, traditional Thai massage combines the deep kneading of pressure points, stretching and bending to stimulate flow along the ‘meridians’ of the body without using oil.

Foot massage

Foot reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet which correspond to every part of the body. Through application of pressure on these reflexes tension is relieved and circulation improved leaving you feeling balanced.

Manicure/Pedicure

Our hands and feet work hard for us every day but rarely get the attention they deserve. Treat them to a manicure or pedicure, with the added bonus of a quick hand or foot massage.
