Ananda at Jivana

The double entrance doors of Villa Ananda open up onto a courtyard with granite water feature and soothing pond. Views from here are of the impressive, centrally located ‘Great Room’ and the sea beyond. To the left of the courtyard is the family room and TV lounge; to the right the kitchen and children’s quarters. Either side of the ‘Great Room’ are the two bedroom pavilions. Spread luxuriously across the front of the villa is a 25 metre pool and expansive lawn with relaxation and dining salas.

Indoor living
Villa Ananda’s elegant indoor living areas are perfectly designed for peaceful relaxation and dining. Commanding most of the attention is the centrally located ‘Great Room’ with comfortable sofas and ottomans providing plenty of lounging space. Adjacent is a long dining table that can seat up to fourteen guests. To the left of the ‘Great Room’ is a fully equipped kitchen. On the opposite side is a cosy family room with built-in cabinets housing an extensive library of books and DVDs. The room is equipped with a 40-inch flat-screen satellite TV and sound system, and comes complete with lounge seating, a games table and small office space for those with business to attend to. Next to the family room is a guest bathroom.

Outdoor living
To the front of Villa Ananda is a stylish 25 metre infinity pool with shallow section for children, and an immense lawn that stretches to the sea. This beautiful beachfront garden is shaded by tall coconut trees and offers the perfect setting for outdoor games. Six poolside sun loungers line the pool deck, with a convenient guest changing room and shower nearby. Within the garden is a sunken dining sala with seats for eight and a beachside relaxation sala –  the ideal spot for in-house spa treatments. 

The breezy verandah in front of the ‘Great Room’ is furnished with cushioned rattan seating, and offers ample space for al fresco dining.

BEDROOMS
Villa Ananda’s six main bedrooms are housed in two contemporary Thai style pavilions with vaulted ceilings, rich teak wood features, whitewashed walls, desks and elegant ensuites. Each is equipped with air conditioning, ceiling fan and sliding glass doors that lead to garden areas. All six of these rooms have unobstructed views of the sea and enjoy easy access to shared verandahs and courtyards. A separate children’s bunk room with nanny’s quarters lays towards the back of the villa, providing ample space for kids to play and sleep.

Master suites 1 & 2
The two master suites, one in each pavilion, are the largest of the six bedrooms and offer comfortable private spaces with intimate lighting. They come furnished with four-poster king size beds dressed in crisp white linens, and soft-cushioned armchairs. Large teak wardrobes separate the bedrooms from the generously sized marble and terrazzo ensuites. Included are deep built-in bathtubs, his and her sinks, rain showers and enclosed tropical gardens set behind glass walls. The master suite to the left of the ‘Great Room’ shares an office space with an adjoining twin room.

King guest rooms
The two king size guest rooms are furnished with plush mattresses dressed in fresh white linen, comfortable rattan armchairs and ottomans, teak writing desks and large wardrobes. Their ensuites include rain showers, his and her sinks and granite bathtubs set within private tropical gardens.

Twin guest rooms
These two rooms are furnished with twin size beds that can be combined to form king beds, and comfortable armchairs. Their terrazzo and marble bathrooms are identical to the neighbouring master suites, and include deep built-in bathtubs, rain showers, his and her sinks and enclosed tropical gardens set behind glass walls.

Children’s Room and Nanny’s Quarters
The children’s bedroom and nanny’s quarters, set quietly and securely towards the rear of the villa, are unique features of Villa Ananda. The large children’s room is furnished with two sets of bunk beds and equipped with a variety of toys, books and a 30-inch flat-screen cable TV with DVD player. Its ensuite bathroom comes with special kid-sized fittings. Attached to the children’s room is a nanny’s room with direct access to the staff and kitchen area.
