About The Hideaway Village

Tucked away in the lush mountains just seven to thirteen minutes from Pai town center, The Hideaway Village is a private villa-style retreat that draws travelers seeking peace, natural surroundings, and a genuine sense of home. Hosted by Michael and Wainam, the property is known for its warm, personal hospitality that sets it apart from more conventional resort stays. The setting, nestled in the hills away from the main road, offers a quiet atmosphere complemented by the sounds of the surrounding nature in the evenings.

The property suits a range of group sizes and travel styles particularly well. Visitors have used it for multi-family vacations, birthday celebrations, and extended solo stays, with groups of up to eleven people finding it well-suited to communal use. The combination of a tranquil hillside location, attentive hosts, and villa-style accommodation makes it a practical choice for those wanting more space and privacy than a standard hotel room provides.

Reception is open daily, with hours running from 09:00 to 19:00 on most days and slightly shorter on Sundays, closing at 17:00. Travelers planning late arrivals should coordinate with the property in advance. Those considering a longer stay will find the environment lends itself well to it, as several guests have extended their time there beyond their original plans. Booking directly through the official website is recommended to confirm availability and arrange any specific requirements ahead of arrival.

Reviews from Google

Our group of 11 stayed at The Hideaway Village for 6 nights to celebrate my 30th birthday, and it was the most perfect experience from start to finish. I cannot recommend this place enough! • Location: The location is absolutely ideal. It’s nestled in a quiet, peaceful area which we loved, but it was just a quick and easy ride into the main town of Pai. It was also conveniently located near many other highlights we wanted to see. It truly offers the best of both worlds. • Accommodations & Amenities: The villas are simply stunning! Every detail is beautiful and the entire property is so well-maintained. We spent so much time enjoying the gorgeous pool. We were hoping to use the fire pit, but the rain had other plans – it still looked like a wonderful spot to gather! • Host & Communication: Michael was a phenomenal host. His communication in the months leading up to our stay was excellent and incredibly helpful, which made planning for a large group completely stress-free. We appreciated it so much. • Private Chef: I have to give a special shout-out to the chef, JC! He was absolutely incredible. Every single meal he prepared for us was delicious and beautifully presented. It was such a treat and a definite highlight of our stay. If you are looking for a special place to stay in Pai, especially for a group, look no further. The Hideaway Village exceeded all of our expectations and made my birthday celebration unforgettable.

I’m so grateful I found this secret gem in the lush mountains of Pai. Michael and Wainam have created a truly magical environment that feels like home the moment you arrive. I stayed for two weeks and loved every part of it — the peaceful grounds, the nourishing food, and the warm, inviting energy. My room was cozy and thoughtfully designed, with special touches everywhere. JC took incredible care of me with the most delicious homemade cooking ... healthy, comforting, and made with so much love. It was exactly what my body needed to ground and heal. Michael shared his beautiful vision for the space, and I even got to visit their other location, The Hideaway Farm, and learn more about Pai through their eyes. They’ve created something unique, warm, and full of heart. If you have a chance to visit, stay here and experience the relaxed, nurturing vibe they’ve cultivated. The sunsets and star-lit nights alone are beyond words. I can’t thank them enough for hosting me.

“The Hideaway”, as the name, the place is situated behind one of the lane and about 7 mins away from the main city centre. Nice chilling and relaxing resort with great owners! They are friendly, chatty and attention to details on every part of the resort to make it better for their guests. I booked a 3 bedrooms bunglow which is situated just next to the main area in front of the swimming pool! Resorts are clean with their bedsheets and well packed with amenities in the room! The living room is a great place with gathering and chit chats! Great welcome drinks too ! If u r looking for a place in Pai to chill, relax and be calm. This is the place to stay!

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts

Compare OTAs and Direct Rates

Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.

Location Matters More Than Stars

A well-located 3-star hotel often beats a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, staying near a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the beach you actually want matters most.
