Purana Residence Thailand
Holiday Home Rental Description
Nestled into a lush hillside on Koh Samui’s popular northern coast, the Purana Residence is a striking holiday villa in the exclusive Panacea Retreat gated community just moments away from Bophut.
With four incredible bedrooms, this villa sleeps 8, providing the perfect retreat for a family, group of friends or multiple couples travelling together. Incorporating both traditional Thai decor and stylish contemporary living, this stunning villa has everything guests need to relax in absolute luxury.
The entire residence is filled with natural light; Through a large wooden gate you enter an astonishing living area with a soaring wood-lined, vaulted ceiling and glass walls running virtually the entire width of the villa, opening onto an expansive terrace soaking-up the view.
At one end is a lounge with comfortable sofas, easy chairs and wall-mounted TV surrounding a natural wood coffee table, tastefully decorated with contemporary ornaments and works of art. An eye-catching rectangular dining table takes centre stage, served by a modern show kitchen with island bar for breakfast and casual meals, and built-in wine cooler.
Guests have their own private chef on hand to cook breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in-between. The residence’s chef is skilled in the preparation of both Thai and Western cuisines. Guest requests are accommodated as far as possible (including special diets and children’s menu).
On the pool and garden level, guests will find four stunning ensuite double bedrooms with king-size beds, bathrooms with rain shower, and in the case of the master bedroom, terrazzo bathtubs opening onto the pool. Pale woods and natural finishes and fabrics create a light, comfortable ambience with tasteful occasional chairs and Thai art pieces. Flat-screen TV and modern AV accessories make each room far more than a place to sleep.
Beside the welcoming blue-tiled infinity pool, a swim-up bar with sunken stools adjoins the sala – where a dining table and cushioned seating is ideal for lazy lunches by the pool, resting in the shade or for your own private pool party. Lying by the pool, sipping a cocktail under the stars or just gazing at the breathtaking views, your imagination is freed for your own stories to unfold in this gorgeous private retreat.Located high in the lush green hills above Koh Samui’s popular resort of Bophut and charming Fisherman’s Village, Panacea Retreat is just a 15-minute drive from the island’s international airport and 10-15 minutes away from the white sandy beaches of Bophut, Big Buddha and the island’s main tourist centre, Chaweng.
All five Panacea Retreat villas have spectacular views over Samui’s north-east coastline and the Gulf of Thailand, to mystical islands such as Koh Phangan, popularly known as ‘Full Moon Island’, as well as Samui’s striking interior with its jungle-clad hills and dramatic waterfalls.
Circumnavigating Koh Samui by car takes just over an hour, so nothing is very far away. The main ferry port of Nathon, with connections to the Thai mainland, is around 30 minutes’ drive and the key jumping off point for boat excursions to offshore islands is a mere 10 minutes away at Big Buddha.
Panacea Retreat is a peaceful sanctuary far above the hustle and bustle of Koh Samui’s coastal resorts, while retaining convenient proximity to Bophut beach and Fisherman’s Village. The night market at Fisherman’s Village is the scene of the island’s biggest night market.
Every Friday evening and on certain holidays, literally hundreds of vendors set up shop to offer everything from Thai and international street food and snacks, to chic fashions, electronics and local souvenirs. The atmosphere is buzzing and an absolute must-visit for locals and tourists alike.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
