Amanzi Kamala

Merging modern design with its breath-taking tropical setting near Kamala Beach, the six-bedroom Villa Amanzi Kamala is an inspiring holiday escape. Found in a secured estate with panoramic sea views from every room, this award-winning designer villa offers families or groups cutting-edge elegance and flawless indoor outdoor connections for a lavish immersion into island life. Reaching out to the horizon is the villa's 15-metre ‘floating’ pool, surrounded by expansive living and dining areas for entertaining in style. A family/games room, guest kitchen and jacuzzi, plus the signature Thai hospitality of the villa’s team of staff, add the finishing touches to the magical Amanzi experience.

Amanzi Kamala is arranged over three levels with two top-floor wings housing the master suite and three guest bedrooms. The middle floor and entry level is the social heart of the villa, with the open-plan living and dining room set in front of a landscaped garden, and the pool, terrace and barbecue entertaining area extending towards the sea. Adjacent to this is the guest kitchen, featuring an outdoor dining table on a balcony to the front. Two more guest bedrooms occupy the villa's lower floor, along with the family/games room and a large bathroom with Jacuzzi.

Describing Amanzi's main living and dining room as ‘indoor’ doesn’t quite capture the essence of this spectacular space, which, even when its huge glass doors are slid shut and the air-con switched on, feels like an extension of its tropical surrounds. This uncluttered area is simply furnished with an L-shaped sofa and a picnic-style wooden dining table, with soft, subtle tones letting the eyes rest after all those hours spent gazing out to the glittering sea and pool panorama. The adjacent guest kitchen is a no-fuss space too, with crisp white accents and a dining table for eight offering a cool, calm place to gather for breakfast. The Chef's kitchen is hidden away behind the guest kitchen, while downstairs the family/games room boasts an Apple TV entertainment system, pool table, table tennis and more.

Amanzi's much-photographed pool is the defining feature of the villa, with its 15-metre length extending towards the sea creating an eye-catching illusion of floating in the air. A sunbed-lined deck, lawns and a barbecue entertaining area set around the pool offer a perfect setting for a cocktail party or small wedding ceremony. Behind the living room is a sloped landscaped garden area with a stunning white Buddha statue.
