Villa Chada

From the moment you lay eyes on Villa Chada you will be enchanted with its elegance and peaceful splendour. Sandstone walkways lead you around the spectacular gardens revealing immaculate lawns and lotus ponds guarded over by gargoyles. Casuarina and coconut trees soar into the sky and stone statues and authentic wood carvings transport you back to ancient times.

This classic villa, named after a traditional Thai headdress, has four peak-roofed pavilions spread out around the grounds, a perfect retreat for groups of friends and families with teenage children. The classical architecture along with the high ceilings, polished wood floors and antique objects of art, collected over the years by the owner, create an interesting ambience.

What really sets this six-bedroom villa apart from others is the 16-metre pool, extending towards the sea -it’s an alluring focal point. The pool and living pavilions create open comfortable spaces that bring everyone together, as does the master suite’s wraparound terrace, an idyllic spot to gather and watch the sun slowly descend into the horizon.

A dedicated service team is available during your stay, including a manager to help with bookings, reservations and transport, while the full-time private chef works his magic in the kitchen delivering dishes with authentic Thai flavours.

This stunning villa has a real chilled-out appeal, ideal for unwinding, soaking up the sun’s rays and sprawling on comfortable sofas watching movies or playing board games. It’s always fun to explore when on holiday too, just below the villa beckons the estate’s private beach, ideal for snorkelling, or you could venture to a neighbouring luxury resort for a sunset signature cocktail at the rooftop bar. Also within easy reach by car is the laid-back Kamala Beach and the infamous nightlife of Patong Beach.
