Kalya Residence at Panacea Retreat

Kalya Residence is a sanctuary of luxury and serenity. A wooden gate with a shingle roof structure brings you into the landscaped tropical garden of this delightful 4-bedroom villa. Steps lead up to a terrace area on the side of the main building, while bordering the garden, a high, natural stone, retaining wall drops all the way down to a water feature that runs behind the villa with steps up to a bridge.

The elevated living and dining room extends almost the whole width of the property and has a very high, wood-lined vaulted ceiling with windows on both sides that increase the grandiose sense of space. A square pedestal table for ten sits in the centre of the dining area, next to an open plan fully equipped kitchen with an island breakfast bar and top-of-the-range fitted appliances, and a built-in wine cooler. On the other side, the villa's spacious lounge area is furnished with a creamy white sofa and two comfy chairs set around a cream marble coffee table and oriented towards a Smart TV. The room is complemented by a hanging candelabra and mood enhancing table lamps, while outside, a covered balcony runs along the entire length of the pavilion, protected by a clear glass barrier and overlooking the tropical garden and 20-metre infinity pool.

As you make your way down to the villa's lower level, you will find three of the four bedrooms, looking out across the garden, pool and views. A covered walkway runs along the front of these king-bed guestrooms all of which are adjoined by ensuite bathrooms with rain showers. In front, a lawn and garden extends to the wide pool terrace.

On one side of the pool, sunken stools are positioned by a swim up bar, which is integrated into a covered sala, also housing a dining table and cushioned bench seats. On the other side of the pool, you’ll find the villa's master suite complete with a vaulted wooden ceiling and doors opening directly onto the pool terrace. A separate dressing area behind the king-size bed leads into an ensuite bathroom with twin washbasins, a rain shower and a terrazzo bathtub positioned next to a window that looks directly out to the ocean beyond.
