Panacea Retreat - Avasara Residence

Sophisticated luxury sums-up this exceptional private villa in the lush green hills above the popular resort of Bophut.

Part of the exclusive Panacea Retreat collection of five individual villas in a magnificent gated community, Avasara Residence enjoys stunning views over the Gulf of Thailand and outlying islands from sunrise to sunset.

Avasara, meaning ‘opportunity and chance’, takes every opportunity to showcase its views wherever you are in the villa.

Through an ornate gateway into an astonishing living space running virtually the whole length of the villa, a captivating experience unfolds from the moment you step in.

This is your social hub – a soaring space with wood vaulted ceiling and wrap-around wall of glass opening onto the terrace and breathtaking vista. At one end a comfortable tropical lounge with Thai artefacts, lamps, curiosities and large rattan sofas and chairs is set around a flat screen TV for a warm and homely ambience. An impressive pedestal dining table – a piece of art in itself – is served by a sophisticated show kitchen with an island bar for breakfast, casual dinners and social gatherings.

Five en suite double bedrooms on the pool and garden level feature king-size and twin beds, bathrooms with rain shower, and terrazzo bathtubs opening onto the pool from two master suites. Pale wood and rattan furnishing continues the theme in the main living pavilion, combining natural finishes and fabrics for a breezy, comforting ambience. Flat-screen TV and modern AV accessories make each room far more than a place to sleep.

Centre stage is the generous infinity pool with its whimsical bronze sculptures. At one end, sunken stools serve a swim-up bar at the sala with dining table and cushioned seats – an ideal spot for lazy lunches, taking a little respite from the sun or for your own private pool party.

The hallmark of this beautiful villa is the elegant combination of its natural sandstone surfaces, complemented by light wood and rattan furnishing with splashes of vivid colour such as the red on the pool loungers contrasting against lush garden greenery. This luxurious tropical paradise simply can’t fail to charm.
