Welcome to Wao Villa
This villa was designed and built with great care to offer a private, peaceful and memorable stay overlooking the sea. We are delighted to welcome guests from around the world and we do everything possible to make each stay comfortable, smooth and enjoyable.
The purpose of these guidelines is simply to preserve the quality of the villa, respect the surrounding neighborhood and help our small local team maintain the property in the best possible condition for every guest.
We thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
Stay Conditions
Accepting the keys to the estate signifies a mutual understanding.
By taking possession of the villa, the Lessee graciously embraces these thoughtful guidelines as part of our rental agreement.
-
Occupancy & Registered Guests
For comfort and safety reasons, the villa accommodates:
- Up to 2 overnight guests
The maximum daytime capacity of the villa is 4 people, so guests can invite friends provided that this capacity is respected.
To ensure security and insurance compliance, only registered guests included in the reservation may stay overnight at the villa. If you wish to invite additional overnight guests, please contact us in advance so we can confirm whether it is possible.
-
Respecting the Peaceful Atmosphere
Wao Villa is designed as a calm and exclusive retreat.
We kindly ask guests to:
- Avoid excessive noise, especially in the evening
- Respect neighboring properties and the natural environment
- Avoid parties, loud music and events
The villa is ideal for relaxing stays, couples, families or small groups looking for privacy and tranquility.

Smoking & Fire Safety
Smoking is permitted only in outdoor areas.
Ashtrays are provided on the terrace and we kindly ask guests to use them carefully for fire prevention.
For safety reasons:
- Barbecues, fireworks and open flames are not permitted
- Smoking inside the villa is strictly prohibited
The tropical climate and natural materials used in the villa require particular attention regarding fire safety.
-
Respect for the Property
We would greatly appreciate guests treating the villa with the same care as they would their own home.
If something is accidentally damaged or not functioning correctly during your stay, please inform us promptly so we can resolve the issue quickly and avoid further damage.
Normal wear is understood. However, significant damage, missing items or excessive cleaning requirements may result in repair or replacement costs.
Rather than applying automatic penalties, we always prefer transparent and reasonable communication with guests.
-
Air Conditioning & Energy Use
Electricity on Koh Phangan is particularly expensive and island resources are limited.
To help reduce unnecessary energy consumption, we kindly ask guests to:
- Switch off air conditioning when leaving the villa
- Keep doors and windows closed while the air conditioning is running
- Turn off lights and fans when not needed
The villa cools down quickly, usually within a few minutes.
Your cooperation helps us maintain a high-quality experience while keeping our accommodation environmentally responsible.

For operational efficiency, housekeeping is generally carried out while guests are outside the villa whenever possible.
If guests prefer to postpone a scheduled cleaning, we will always do our best to reorganize depending on team availability.
Additional housekeeping services can also be arranged upon request.
-
Recycling & Environment
We encourage guests to use the recycling bins provided for bottles and cans.
Recycling plays an important role in Thailand’s local economy and helps support both the environment and local workers.
In addition, a compost bin is located near the collection point and accepts your organic waste.
Thank you for helping us reduce waste on the island.
