Golden Lotus Villas – The Purity

Golden Lotus Villas The Purity sits high on the hillside above Chaweng, with a sweeping view across the treetops and rooftops to the bay and the green hills beyond. True to its name, the villa is all soft whites, pale stone and glass, with splashes of colour from bold artwork and woven black pendant lights, and the result feels calm, bright and uncluttered. It suits a family or three couples looking for a peaceful base close to Chaweng.

Outside, a private pool sits right on the edge of the terrace, with the coast laid out below it. There are loungers for the sun, a shaded outdoor sofa set beneath an open pergola, an outdoor shower and a hanging rattan chair placed for the best of the view. Inside, an open-plan living room with a deep sofa and TV leads to a long dining table and a sleek kitchen in black and grey, with a cooking island and stools looking straight out to sea.

All three bedrooms have king beds, air conditioning, a TV and their own bathroom, and wide glass walls bring the sea views right to the bed. One room has a hanging chair by the window and a desk with a view. Breakfast is made fresh each morning, housekeeping and a villa manager look after the house, and a chef can cook lunch and dinner on request. Chaweng’s beach, Walking Street and restaurants are a short drive down the hill.
