Nestled along the unspoiled shores of Natai Beach, Villa Ananda at Jivana offers a serene escape where luxury meets tranquility. This stunning beachfront retreat presents panoramic views of the Andaman Sea, effortlessly blending with the surrounding natural beauty. The soothing sound of the waves welcomes you, while the villa's lush tropical gardens create an inviting backdrop for this peaceful haven. Step into a world where comfort and understated elegance come together, ensuring an unforgettable stay in this idyllic coastal paradise.
The villa comprises four pavilions, of which two house the bedrooms for guests. The first pavilion has four bedrooms, the second pavilion has the master bedroom and an office, and the third pavilion is home to the children’s bedrooms. Each bedroom has been decked out in comfortable double beds, wooden interiors, spectacular ocean views, and large glass doors that lead to the pool! There are bunk beds in the children’s room and the same pavilion also houses a nanny room, if needed! There are en-suite bathrooms in each of the bedrooms that are fitted with bathtubs and are partially open-air in some!
Bordered by the pavilions that are home to the bedrooms at Villa Ananda, ensconced by lush tropical greenery including swaying palm trees, and stunning foliage, a 25-metre swimming pool with a magnificent black-tiled bottom spills into a nearby children’s wading pool with shallow waters suitable for kids. While you lounge in the big pool or on the sun chairs found beside it, the kids can safely splash around in their own pool without a moment’s worry. There are salas that house individual sitting/dining areas on the vast property for everyone to enjoy a good meal while watching the sunset!
The direct access to the beach is another notable feature as you can enjoy the sandy shores all to yourself since not many people can be seen in the area! A gorgeous landscape with lotus ponds and soothing waterfalls, as well as the tranquility of being away from the crowds is just what you need for the perfect tropical cocktail!
The living area at Villa Ananda is termed, rightly so, as ‘The Great Room’, for its spacious, open-concept layout which allows for natural lighting and the ventilation all throughout. It is designed to offer a luxurious and comfortable fair to guests, a place where they can all collect and relax on the plush sofas, chairs, and ottomans. The rich, wooden interiors create an opulent ambiance in which to lounge in, and so does the muted lighting. Since you can clearly observe the great outdoors from the room, it will be hours before you call it a night and move to the bedrooms!
There are several dining options at the villa including alfresco and the ones inside the living area. There is a ten-seater dining table, as well as a four-seater table for guests to dig into their meals comfortably. Another pavilion houses the kitchen and the staff rooms, and the kitchen is fully-equipped and ready for use with its modern facilities!
With a great team of people to look after your needs at the villa, assuredly your stay will be a wonderful and memorable affair. Welcoming you with the hospitality so intrinsic to Thai heritage, they will take care of the maintenance and housekeeping of the villa. They can prepare delightful meals, if you wish, at an additional charge and surely you will fall in love with the food!
The villa is perfect for those who are looking for a respite from their busy lives since the area is frequented by few giving you complete access to the beach. Natai beach is a quiet and clean stretch of golden sand and the ocean is conducive to a great time! There are beach bars where you can grab a drink or two after splashing around in the water!
10/10We stayed with friends including their daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren. The setting was just unbelievable - beautiful grounds looking straight out over the (deserted) beach with palm trees waving in the breeze and sunsets to die for. We each had a separate villa with large and comfortable bedroom, dressing room and spacious bathroom. The staff were superb, totally friendly, always helpful and nothing was too much trouble and the cook was just fantastic. We've always liked Thai food but day after day, the most delicious Thai dishes would appear, each better than the last and then, when I realised that I was missing my good old English breakfast, the most perfect eggs and bacon appeared! And I could even justify it by swimming 20 lengths of the glorious 25 metre pool every morning. Then there were long walks on the idyllic beach, ending up with drinks at a beachside bar before turning round and returning. The place was very children friendly and they seemed to have a wonderful time with their own paddling pool and plenty of room to play without being all over us oldies. My wife and I have never had such a luxurious and relaxing holiday.
10/10Ananda at Jivana has simply luxurious sea facing villas. Having stayed 5 sleeps at this stunning place..I have been woken up by the beautiful sunrise each morning along a serene view of the spacious garden's green grass and coconut trees ...just perfect to start a day off with. The beach is only a 10 second walk from the villa front and there is a beautiful infinity pool just before the beach if one would rather swim in the pool. The food served at Ananda was delicious authentic thai food and the service from the friendly staff was perfect. I'd definitely head back to this heavenly place for my next visit if I could ... for a business trip or a romantic getaway.. It's simply gorgeous.
