A myriad of elegance among divinely furnished formal spaces - areas dedicated to relaxation and casual charm throughout - The Aquila not only prizes the ultimate enjoyment of its guests, it guarantees picture-perfection from any holiday - no matter who resides. Designed to the highest contemporary standards with every eventuality considered – from the fitness room to its spa facility; the 30m pool to the games room – whether arriving for activity or seeking solitude in front of the 70-inch home cinema screen, whims are easily placated.
Torrential waterfalls flow outside to create an oasis amidst the estate, the rich shrubbery of the surrounding jungle adding to the drama of the cliff-top setting. Below stretches a private expanse of ocean – beneath the surface a pristine section of undiscovered reef, as if grown for the enjoyment of only those who reside.
The central pavilion lies at the heart of the property, its glistening white walls offset by the deep-charcoal Chinese-slate roofs. The emerald hues of the outdoors add vibrancy, the palatial spiral staircase an aura of regal charm. Descending the stairwell, guests arrive to another pavilion, a north-south aspect that borders the cliff-face providing unencumbered vistas. Drift through the property and discover countless viewpoints: the challenge more in finding a room that lacks this obligatory feature. Ceilings tower so as not to obstruct the skyline, expansive glass facades continually draw the gaze to the sea. Removing the need for air-conditioning, each room utilises ceiling fans and the omnipresent sea-breeze to ensure all-encompassing comfort, vast glass walls maintaining a refreshing airflow.
The main edifice includes three levels and over 1100 square meters of floor space. At the top, an impressive library replete with all manner of literature, a setting for solitude with spaces to relax. Home comforts through teak flooring with added flourishes of Balinese art create a refined aura in the space. The main reception room is perfect for meet-and-greets, while a feature wall-hanging of delicate Thai silk is a magnificent showpiece. Terraces stretch from the front for expansive sea views and a bathroom sits to one side for additional convenience. A pantry contains a sink – an appreciated addition during any formal occasion.
Back to the impressive spiral staircase and to the ground floor – living space to the left with its minimalist furnishings and eclectic Asian artworks. Reside for an evening and enjoy Netflix’s latest offerings from the labyrinthine sofas that flow freely throughout the room in front of a 60-inch TV. A grandiose dining area neighbours and hosts up to sixteen in capacious surrounds. Dual kitchens afford ample space for banquet preparations and an outdoor BBQ creates the perfect chargrilled seafood at the hands of three expert chefs. The kitchen is equipped to commercial standards and comes stocked with any of your favourite items – requests will always be met. Then slide from comfort into tropical bliss through ceiling-high glass doors and embrace the expanse of the pool-side decking.
The 30m infinity pool stretches endlessly by the property: extending the length of the master pavilion, this is an enticing offering. Bejewelled with African Black Granite and enshrined amid myriad sun-loungers - the aroma of the frangipani creating a fragranced ambience – this is a tranquil setting in which to while away the days. Shimmering charcoal tiling lines the floor of the pool and offsets the iridescence of the surrounding scene – their dark hues not only a visual delight, but an energy-efficient way to warm the waters of the pool. Celestial sunsets draw the curtain on halcyon days bathing the front of the property in their ethereal glow. No other destination offers such a kaleidoscopic display of rainbow-tinged glory.
At one end of the pool lies an open-sided sala – a picturesque setting for shaded al fresco feasting beneath an elegant timber structure. The favourite dining spot of the villa thanks to its airy and cooling surrounds atop the stunning seascape. A separate sala lies at the other end for convivial relaxation – a casual array of soft-furnishings that draw in the crowds on sultry afternoons, readers and nappers enjoying the gentle sea breeze and soporific sounds as waves caress the foot of the cliffs.
Drifting back indoors towards a meandering staircase that invites guests down to the depths of the dwelling. A capacious entertainment room is a celestial space for hosting, and an equally attractive retreat when the climes become too much. Bedecked with a 65-inch flat-screen, alongside beer-on-tap, the bar-like surrounds hark back to homely comforts that are ideal for any match day – a frame of pool on offer for halt-time entertainment. A separate 70-inch screen sits at the far end – a cinematic set up for blockbuster offerings. Adjacent lies the in-house gym that boasts punching bags, TRX, multi-weights, free weights, as well as yoga matts amidst its facilities. For the cardio-inclined, rowing or running to the visage of the Andaman Sea is an unparalleled scene.
From the joyous surrounds of the games room stretch expansive manicured gardens that nestle within the hillside. Paths meander among the cliff-faces providing direct access to the sea, The Aquila enjoying access to its own private bay. A shoreline expanse with an exclusive coral reef, guests can drift atop the waters and enjoy the vibrant marine life that resides 50m offshore. Further afield and find a waterfall – the dramatic border that defines one corner of the property.
A recently-completed master pavilion lies in the north corner of the estate and houses three secluded guest suites. Spanning two floors, each presides over its own exclusive seascape vista.
To the other end, two paths slip between the lush landscapes and deliver guests to a further pavilion. Six bedrooms across two floors, idyllic escapes after hours of tropical sunshine – minimalist designs lending a cooling atmosphere that elicits the sophistication of the set up and the elegance of the interiors.
The ground floor is the final hive of comfort – two double rooms with adjacent twin offerings. Families adore the convivial space and parents with younger children appreciate the proximity. Wi-Fi is always available while the majority of fittings are connected – smart blinds retract for unobstructed sea views, windows ajar for cooling breezes and imported from Fletcher, New Zealand, for their trackless floor connections to protect bare feet. Arise in the morning to uninhibited panoramas and drift into your ensuite for a deluge under the waterfall shower. Fitted with top-end fixtures, this is opulence unlike any other, and the option of heated seats is a lavish indulgence not experienced elsewhere. A two-person plunge pool creates a final romantic setting – relax to the backdrop of untainted sea views, loved-one by your side.
