How it Started
The first time we (my wife, children and I) came to Thailand was 20 years ago. After this first trip we have visited the country at least once a year. Much has changed but the best is still there, the climate, the food and the friendly people. After having traveled around in almost every corner of the country for 15 years we started to become quite tired of staying in different hotels. For two years we were looking around in the areas we liked best to find our dream land where we could build our dream house and the best place to stay at Koh Tao.
We were on our way to Koh Lanta to look at a plot that we were interested in, luckily we went even beyond Koh Tao to have a look what land was availabe there. After only 6 hours on the island, we had found our dream plot with an amazing location 35 meters above the sea, and it was for sale! Good was also that the ground was perfect for the dream project that we had in our minds for all these years. A villa facing south treating us with both sunrises and sunsets. Our wish was to have 3 bedrooms in separate buildings so that one can live undisturbed but close to rest of the family or friends, a main house with kitchen/dining/sitting areas, a large free form swiming pool and a private access to the sea from the large sundeck.
After 2,5 years of planning and construction our dream project was finished and we could move in.
It feels great to share this amazing villa with others that have the same feelings about it as we do. We try to spend as much time as possible in the villa, but since we have had more bookings than we ever thought we have now built two new pool villas (Gecko and Turtle Villas) on another cliff just 150 meters from Eagle Villa.
As we mentioned we have been staying in many hotels around the country (and the world). Whenever you come to a new place you have to get to know the place and it takes time. Maybe you miss the best things because you didn´t know about them. That´s why we have prepared two binders, one about the villa and one about the island with redommendations of what to do, where to eat and what beaches to visit etc. So it will be easy for you to get a quick feeling about the island. We hope you find them useful!
Make your dreams come true!

Conservation
The villas are build almost only with natural materials and have an energy-efficient building technology installed in order to avoid waste of natural resources.
For example the following:
House building materials are concrete, building blocks, stones from the island, reused wood from old houses in northern Thailand and thatched roofs
Only AA class electric house hold appliances
Keycards in all houses, switches off the electricity automatically when taken out of the holder
Low consuming water toilets
Water tank for collecting rain water
Low electricity consuming water heating (air heating pump) in Eagle Villa
Solar panels on all villas
LED lighting throughout Gecko and Turtle villas and more than halfway changed in Eagle Villa
All wooden furniture made of old reused teak wood from northern Thailand
Bulk dispensers for toiletries
Recycling bins for cans, glass, paper, plastic and food waste
Since there is a lack of water and the electricity is produced in local generators on the island, we ask you to use the water and electricity carefully whilst your stay in the villa.
Don´t use more water than needed and ALWAYS switch off the AC when not needed and when leaving the house.
Thanks,
Villa Sabai Jai Team
TESTIMONIALS
Stunning views, beautiful villa
When we arrived at the villa Phyu the housemaid was waiting to show us around the villa. The decoration of the villa is very stylish, clean and neat. It was dark when we arrived and we couldn't wait to wake up and see the view from the pool terrace as we knew it would be amazing. The view did not disappoint, you could spend your whole visit getting lost in the beauty of it. The beds are all positioned so that you can see the stunning views whilst lying in bed. The villa contained extremely detailed information about the villa, the restaurants and beaches of the island. Bob and Asa have supplied wonderful descriptions of each beach, restaurant and the activities available on Koh Tao, taking away the worry of having to spend too much time figuring out what to do and where to eat for yourself. Phyu, the maid, was extremely helpful. On our first day we asked her for directions to the nearest beach and instead of just telling us, she walked down there with us to show us the way. The villa is situated quite high up which does mean that it's quite a workout to get to the beach, but is well worth it. The taxi's, although quite expensive are really quick and reliable. You can also order take away food to the villa which we did on a couple of occasions and both times the food arrived quickly and tasted amazing. Bob and Asa were on location whilst we were there and they couldn't have been more helpful. We were also invited to have a few drinks with them the day before we left and they are just the loveliest people who really want you to feel at home and enjoy your holiday. We really didn't want to leave. Thank you Bob and AsaJoanna, Great Britain, Tripadvisor
Wonderful
Stayed in Villa Sabai Jai "Gecco villa" for five days in June. When we got to Koh Tao, the taxi driver Mr. Bear was there to pick us up. Very friendly and helpful. The friendly and smiling housekeeper was there to welcome us when we arrived the villa, and served fresh juice while showing us the villa and the folders wich is made out of the owners own experiences, and has a lot of useful information. The villa is absolutely amazing. The pool and the balcony was bigger than we thought, and the view is incredibly beautiful. The pictures do NOT lie. We also like the personality of the villas and its easy to see the owners Bob and Åsa's passion for the place. I think the location is good, because its in a quiet area, and only a 10 minutes drive in taxi or motorbike to the harbour, and the streets with shops and restaurants. But maybe not so good for older People because of the steep roads. The housekeeper was cleaning the rooms and balcony everyday, and if we have any questions or needs we could always call her at anytime. The pool was also cleaned everyday. We hope that we could spend our holiday in Villa Sabai Jai again in the near future. We would love to come back again.Niklas, Denmark, Booking.com
Amazing Views and A BEAUTIFUL Villa!!!
We arrived on Ko Tao and we're picked up and taken up the cliff side to the stunning Gecco Villa!! We walked in and our jaws dropped. The view was amazing with the infinity pool looking over the ocean. We were more than pleased with our stay and how beautiful the property was. We would return in a heart beat and tell everyone that is looking to stay in Ko Tao to stay at the Gecco Villa or the Eagle Villa. We got to see the Eagle and looked even more amazing!!!!Lisa, USA, Tripadvisor
Fabulous villa that made for a wonderful family holiday
The villa was excellent in so many ways: beautifully presented, tastefully decorated, extremely comfortable beds, amazing bathrooms...and the views across Shark Bay were just fabulous. There was also plenty to meet everyone's needs - snorkeling off the community piers, diving, walking, lazing around the pool and lots of restaurants to explore. The Taxi driver that the owners recommend was always punctual and extremely helpful. The housekeeper cleaned each day and was available should we need anything but was also very respectful of our privacy.Jayne, Australia, Booking.com
