WhereToStay.com's Review
Absolute seclusion right at the water's edge makes this a perfect getaway for couples that want some privacy and alone time. The villa has an interesting shoreline that would be ideal for early morning beach combing and the twin kayaks offer guests the opportunity to expand their private explorations beyond the confines of the villa property. If you decide you want to see a little more of the island, you can indulge in some retail therapy or book a day cruise or deep sea fishing gig by driving just 5 minutes down the road. While you're in town, why not try some of the local cuisine at one of the many restaurants? The fish is fresh, and the native dishes will tempt your taste buds. Have fun sightseeing, but return home in time to enjoy watching the sun set on your own private beach. This is what creates memories.
Villa Description
Rambutan Villa is nestled on the western shore of Nail Bay. Steps away from the villa are sandy beaches, coral reefs, and tropical gardens. Enjoy sunsets and evening cocktails from the river rock pool or the naturally created ocean pool at the water's edge. Stroll down the hand-formed rock steps into the courtyard.
Open air living areas provide water views and sunsets. A wraparound deck encases the river rock pool that offers views of a horizon with sails and Dog Islands in the distance. Sightings of dolphins, turtles, and diving pelicans will add to your delight.
You'll find the suites and living areas have quality amenities. The suites and bathrooms are supplied with fresh hotel linens, towels, and bathing supplies. A two-person rainforest shower area provides decadent refreshment with views of the water and garden. The two-person Jacuzzi tub entices you to relax, Champagne in hand, to the soothing sounds of the ocean.
The master suites have towering open-beamed ceilings reaching 20 feet high with skylights on all sides. Recline onto the pillow top beds and take in the beauty of the Thai and Balinese architecture. The bamboo floors and hewn tiles, the graceful fixtures, the counter top basins, and the wall faucet are charming.
The living and dining areas provide dining settings for 10 as well as state-of-the-art audio and visual entertainment systems, including TV, VCR, DVD, CD player and Playstation 2, inclusive of a library of tapes, DVDs, CDs, books, and games for all ages.
The kitchen is a gourmand's dream with stainless appliances including a Thermador stove, GE double door fridge, Bosch dishwasher and trash compactor. Create your own culinary masterpiece indoors or poolside on the gas BBQ.
Might we suggest a chef to present your meal while you receive a massage on your private sea view balcony? We would be glad to arrange it for you (extra charge).
Two double kayaks are beachside for your water activities, explore the waters of Nail Bay, hop across to Long Bay, or kayak to the scenic waters of Mountain Trunk Bay.
Take advantage of the outdoor patio, dine alfresco or settle into the lounge chairs in the sun, on the deck, in the gardens, or on the beach. Rinse off at the beachside shower and prepare for another day in paradise.
The driveway to the villa has lights that highlight the canopy of trees, making Rambutan Villa all the more visible as you come toward it in the evenings.
