Villa Name: Panacea Retreat  Atulya Residence

Villa 4

Atulya means unrivaled in ancient Sanskrit, and although this villa is part of The Luxury Panacea development on Koh Samui and therefore one of several impressive villas within an exclusive compound, its name certainly suits the impressive facilities and surroundings on offer to guests. A feeling of luxury and total comfort surrounds the property with natural stone walls adding privacy to the upmarket homes and tropical landscaping enhancing the breathtaking natural environment

Atulya combines striking architectural features, exceptional furnishings and natural materials to create an enchanting luxury escape with stunning sea views from every room. Entering the house through the stylish wooden gate, a large covered driveway connects via steps to the grand living pavilion, with its shingle roof adding a sense of tropical elegance.

Large wooden doors open into the impressive elevated living area, an expansive room that runs virtually the entire length of the property. The high, wood-lined, and vaulted ceiling with windows on both sides guarantee a feeling of spacious opulence and bi-folding glass doors ensure constant panoramic views across the palm-clad valleys, and out to the bay of Bophut and offshore islands.

An eye-catching wooden dining table sits in the centre of the room, served by a sophisticated kitchen with an island breakfast bar and brand name, fitted appliances. The kitchen not only looks great with its wooden units, chrome fittings and marble surfaces, but it is also well designed to include everything guests may need during their stay. It even features a built-in wine cooler for chilled refreshments day and night.

On the opposite side of the dining table, the villa's spacious lounge area boasts a huge, flat screen TV mounted on a cabinet with plush sofas and chairs poised for visual repose. Contemporary ornaments and artworks add a sophisticated ambience to the interior, while outside, a covered balcony runs along the entire length of the pavilion, guarded by an invisible glass barrier and overlooking the villa's tropical garden and generous infinity pool. All-weather chairs add a final touch, offering the perfect place to relax with a book, take in the ocean views or sip a cocktail at sunset.

Stairs on both sides of the balcony lead down to the villa's lower level where three attractive and comfortable bedrooms look out across the garden, pool and views. A covered walkway runs along the front of these rooms giving each one its own outdoor terrace and all three bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes and appealing en-suite rain shower rooms. All three rooms have double king size beds, making this an ideal villa for families or groups. In each bedroom, the furniture is of the highest quality, with stylish modern accessories and AV equipment making them far more than just a place to sleep.

In front of the bedrooms, a lawn and garden extends to the wide pool terrace. To one side of the pool, sunken stools are served by a swim up bar that is incorporated into a covered sala or gazebo, which also houses a dining table and cushioned bench seats, the ideal place to gather and relax day or night. On the other side of the pool, one of the villa's two master suites offer an experience to remember. A vaulted wooden ceiling with glass at the front and back creates an airy, light atmosphere with doors opening directly onto the pool terrace and drawing in the spectacular views. A separate dressing area behind the kind sized bed leads into an en-suite bathroom with twin sinks, a rain shower and an indulgent terrazzo bathtub with windows looking directly out to the ocean beyond.

Steps at the rear of the lower master suite lead back up to the lounge area and from the steps, a door leads into the second upper floor master bedroom that mirrors the one below. Dramatic views and luxurious interiors create an atmosphere of cosseted privilege for those lucky enough to stay in one of these fine suites.

Atulya Residence offers complete quality and unrivalled luxury in a truly dramatic island setting. The finish, the furniture and the layout are all perfectly planned to make staying here a practical and enjoyable experience. The house also boasts a warm and comfortable atmosphere that immediately makes guests feel at home. A full team of dedicated staff is on hand to cater to guests needs, including a full time chef who prepares delicious meals to order and an experienced villa manager to answer special requests and assist with bookings and travel arrangements.

CONCEPT By reinventing the ultra-luxury hospitality offerings in the high-end travel space, Panacea is aiming to
define and create a new concept through focusing on the following key aspects.

EXCLUSIVITY Being firm believers that genuine luxury requires true exclusivity; our properties comprise less than 6
suites, allowing us to provide each of our guests with the undivided attention needed to treat them
as if they were the owners.

INDIVIDUALITY Through identifying the individual profiles of our guests, we are able to anticipate their expectations
and embark on an on-going quest to adapt and provide intuitive service at any moment, thus crafting
truly bespoke journeys.

SUBSTANCE In essence, we aim to add substance to the luxury experience. As such, we operate unique active
lavish retreats that offer guests customized leisure and physical activities making their stay intensely
memorable.

experience that unites exclusive substance and bespoke luxury, tailored around and reaching beyond
our guests’ highest expectations.

challenges to tackle, new experiences to live, new skills to acquire and new horizons to explore.

Our aim is to leave our guests with authentic, deep, and lasting impressions, creating memories of
distinctive moments alive through stirring and intimate emotions.
