On the upper level, the main living and dining pavilion opens onto a wide terrace.  In a separate pavilion on the same level, are two master bedrooms, one with a view of the sea and the other with a mountain view.

The 25-metre infinity pool, sauna and steam rooms, another master bedroom with sea view and three double guest bedrooms are on the next level down, as well as another lounge area and a study.

Below, an entire floor is dedicated to leisure, fitness, and a nursery, and on the villa’s lowermost floor is the Muay Thai boxing ring with adjoining 12-metre swimming pool.

LIVING AREAS

INDOOR LIVING

The crowning glory of this exceptional villa is an enormous living and dining pavilion with a soaring nine-metre-high ‘cathedral’ ceiling hung with custom-designed chandeliers.  This luxurious space features wraparound glass doors that fold back onto a wide terrace overlooking the pool, one level below, and spectacular birds- eye views.  Cool cream terrazzo tiled floors merge with sandstone of the terrace to create a seamless indoor-outdoor living space.

On one side of this pavilion is a lounge with large comfortable sofas and stylish easy chairs set before a wide flat-screen TV.  A grand piano separates the lounge from the dining area, which can seat up to 14 guests, and a western-style kitchen with island bar.

An office/study and a more informal lounge and TV area are located on the floor below, at pool level, overlooking the garden and dining sala, together with a sauna and steam room.

A highlight of this outstanding villa is a lifestyle area devoted to a plush private nightclub with karaoke, cinema entertainment room with full-size billiard table and gaming table, wine cellar, massage room, extensive gymnasium and a nursery.

Elegant furnishings, finishes and design features, as well as a curated collection of Thai sculptures and art pieces, complement the sophisticated style of the villa.

OUTDOOR LIVING

At Praana Residence, the view is ever present.  Whether you’re relaxing in the comfort of your room, sunning yourself by the pool or lounging on a daybed admiring the jungle-clad hills that surround you, the scene is mesmerizing day or night.

Stretching across the entire width of the villa grounds is the 25-metre infinity pool.  Wide terraces are set with sun loungers and umbrellas, and designer daybeds are positioned around the pool to catch the cooling breezes.

Two salas are located at either end of the pool - one for alfresco poolside dining with a large table and barbecue grill, and the other a stunning location for socialising and relaxing – especially at sunset.

A luxuriant lawned garden filled with palms, frangipani and other fragrant tropical trees and flowers makes an ideal venue for weddings and other grand celebrations.
