Villa Anda

Villa Anda is a bright, contemporary beach house on the Kamala shoreline, where the garden ends and the soft white sand begins. Floor-to-ceiling glass, white walls and splashes of ocean blue bring the sea indoors, and the sound of the waves follows you from room to room. It is an easy, relaxed place for a big family or a group of friends, with everything set up for long, unhurried days by the water.

The star is a sixteen-metre infinity pool, eight metres wide, that seems to pour straight into the Andaman Sea, with a gently shelving shallow end that suits younger swimmers. Loungers line the deck, a shaded seating area sits among the greenery, and the beach is only steps away, with a paddleboard and a two-person kayak ready for exploring the bay. Inside, a double-height living room opens onto the pool terrace through wide glass doors, with deep sofas, a Smart TV, a billiards table, a mahjong table and board games for slow afternoons.

The two master bedrooms sit behind full-height windows facing the sea, each with a king bed, a television and a bathroom with a soaking tub. Four guest rooms with single beds each have their own bathroom, so everyone has privacy. A chef is on hand at the villa and breakfast is included.
