Designed by Geoffrey Bawa, this convivial two-storey villa offers five ensuite bedrooms – each opening onto gardens, balconies and sea views – as well as a courtyard swimming pool and a grassy lawn for playing cricket, volleyball and badminton.
This stylish villa comprises two interconnecting buildings with two bedrooms on an upper floor and a further three on the ground floor along with open plan living and dining areas and a fully equipped tropical kitchen. The villa is fully staffed and the chef serves up some of the region’s best Asian-fusion cuisine.
