Three-Bedroom Garden Villa

There is one Three-Bedroom Garden Villa at Amanpuri, on 3,200 square metres of its own ground — that figure is the plot, not the floor. Inside the wall, the plan is the one the villas repeat at every size: free-standing pavilions holding 3 king bedrooms, indoor and outdoor living and dining, a kitchen, and a pool with the terrace built round it.

What this one has that the others do not is a rooftop lounge, and dusk is the hour for it. A housekeeper and a Thai chef live in, and the chef cooks what you ask for when you ask for it — which, more than the square metres, is what a villa here is.
