The focal point of the villa is on its prime position on the island’s mesmerizing western coastline. A dramatic traditional Thai sala entrance at the upper level, with a path through lotus flower ponds, leads to a striking outdoor staircase. The stone steps run down the center of the villa to a small path through the lawns to the poolside terrace. With the gorgeous sands and the turquoise Andaman Sea viewed through green palms, this picture-perfect setting adds a sense of upscale glamor. Crisp, white, modern interiors pop with gorgeous, rich wooden floors and tiles with natural hues, plus Thai-style roofs with exotic wooden gabled ceilings. The effect is to create a contemporary and cool villa that feels like an extra-special and homely retreat; a seaside hideaway with gardens, easy access to the beach, and a lovely infinity pool. The gloriously spacious rooms are thoughtfully designed with warm, minimalist flair and a combination of garden, pool, beach, and sea views. Each room is ensuite with bathtubs in the 3 master bedrooms and rain showers in all, plus balconies and terraces, sofa seating, and a desk. Big windows let in natural light and create a jungle oasis ambiance that is incredibly tropical. One of the master bedrooms connects to two guest rooms too; a unique feature which makes Villa Analaya perfect as a family vacation pad. Separate grown-ups’ and kids’ TV rooms are a nice touch, with the villa boasting 7 flat-screen TVs and a sound system throughout. There is even a TV in the villa’s small library with sofa seating too. A private, relaxing stay for lounging on the beach or by the pool, there are activities too. There is an estate tennis court as well as an in-villa fitness room with pretty sea views and floor-to-ceiling windows that open wide to give the impression of an open-air gym. There are also single and double kayaks for marine adventures, and a villa yoga platform with inspirational views of the beach and the coastline. The sense of space indoors at Villa Analaya creates the atmosphere of being outdoors, with a seamless design connecting to the lawns, gardens, and poolside terrace. The wide-open living, dining, and kitchen with island area is a vision in white, with big full-length window doors sliding open one step from the green grass. This light and breezy place during the day turns into a cozy, chic space after dark. Outdoors, the poolside dining sala feels set enough apart from the main villa to exude an intimate air with soft lighting for mellow dinners at night and breakfasts and lunches out of the sun during the day. On the other side of the pool, an alfresco lounge is a perfect spot to watch the sun go down; a breathtaking part of the incredible vacation experience of a stay at Villa Analaya.
