Villa Amana

Description

Large, airy and elegant rooms, a terrific swimming pool and the choice of outdoor or indoor air-conditioned living make this a one-of-a-kind villa. With a total of ten bedrooms, it is also one of the largest villas at Tryall.

Built-in a striking colonial style with white-rendered walls, the villa is on two levels offering large rooms and a backdrop of tropical hillside forest. To the front, the commanding ocean view is truly spectacular and because of the elevation, at certain times of the day, the curvature of the earth can be seen. The large circular courtyard entrance to the villa is backed by a spectacular hillside garden with a lovely water feature that cascades down. The bedrooms are large offering air conditioning as well as ceiling fans. Most are designed to maximize the spectacular views with huge windows and private balconies. En suite marble bathrooms with travertine floors accompany each bedroom with the master bathroom being clad in beautiful white marble. All of the bedrooms are furnished with beautiful Jamaican mahogany four-poster beds. There are eight bedrooms in the core of the villa; two upstairs including the master and six downstairs. A further two bedrooms – both with king beds – are in the west wing; one upstairs and one downstairs. Throughout, the white walls are accented with beautiful fabrics from Nina Campbell, Schumacher and Brunschwig and Fils.

The main balcony of the villa easily accommodates 50 people for a cocktail party and is the natural lounging, entertaining and dining spot. A combination of modern rattan furniture and white upholstered sofas and armchairs invites relaxation and the mahogany dining table can seat 20 guests. The formal, air-conditioned dining room can seat 20 guests at the bench-made mahogany table with elegant pineapple-back dining chairs. There are spectacular views out to sea as well as across the swimming pool and to the hills beyond.

The large and exceptionally high-ceiling sitting room has three wide and tall openings onto the veranda bringing a stunning view of the ocean inside. These openings can be closed allowing the room to be air-conditioned if so wished. Comfort prevails with conversational groupings of large sofas and armchairs. On the lower floor of the villa is a business office which is well-equipped with a computer, fax machine and printer.

Outside on the lower level is a superb infinity pool with a poolside bar overlooking the sea to the front and countryside to the side with deep rattan pool chairs and plenty of umbrellas. A dedicated children’s playground with swings, a slide as well as a basketball court is always a hit with youngsters as is the pool table located on an upper veranda.
