The Amazing Villa is a beautiful summer house, set in spectacular natural surroundings. It's a place to chill out, to recharge and to get inspired, far away from the daily grind and noise. A place you can call home. The Amazing Villa sits on a very large property with 2 km of private coastline. The mountains in the background - covered in virgin rain forest - form a spectacular backdrop. Parts of our land include a pristine river, breathtaking cliffs (accessible via steps) and even a waterfall. The Amazing Villa exudes space and privacy. All our rooms are very generously sized with lots of open space and air. Build quality is high (no light materials were used) without being luxurious. The Villa's feel and build is a reflection of the way we like to live: unrestricted, uncomplicated, close to nature yet comfortable and safe. We want you to enjoy the feeling of being in open air. Our bar, kitchen and dining areas are part of this idea. You are covered from the elements by a roof but the breeze, the sounds and the view remain unobstructed. By the way, the name of your room is Tongkat Ali (named after the medicinal plant that invigorates you). We have built several private hideaways around the house, where you can enjoy the view and the sea breeze with a book, a cocktail or a cup of tea. Or just have a lazy afternoon nap in a hammock. Other amenities of the house include a cocktail bar, a yoga platform/view deck and an outdoor kitchen. We are leading a comfortable yet low impact life style. We produce our own veggies, make our own virgin coconut oil, natural bug repellents, yoghurt and chocolate. We cook using only the freshest ingredients straight from our garden. We avoid chemical additives and processed foods. We have some live stock to tend to as well (cows, goats, water buffaloes, chickens). At the Amazing Villa we like to eat fresh and healthy foods, so we have a large garden with vegetables, herbs and spices. We also keep chickens for eggs and meat. Freshly caught fish can be had daily from a nearby fisherman's village. We hope our cats and dogs will make you feel at home the moment you arrive. During the daytime you will most likely be enjoying the surroundings and the beach. At night you will fall asleep, soothed by the sounds of the waves and the rain forest. The house comes with a beach janitor (for cleaning of the beach and its surroundings), a maintenance man and a cleaning lady. You are welcome to do your own cooking, using our facilities (we cook on wood fire), but you may have to bring most of your ingredients from Puerto. The small shops near the Villa offer only basic things. If you wish, the hosts can also cook for you. We offer a gastronomic meal plan (minimum of 4 pax, including other guests, advanced reservation required). Theresa is very talented and highly passionate about cooking. She does wonders with all our garden fresh ingredients. Her cooking has been featured in two national newspapers as well as on local TV. Our meal plan is usually the highlight of a stay at the Villa. Theresa's unique flavors continue to impress the most discerning palates from around the globe. Our place is ideal for: * Families with children * Couples looking to spend quality time together in paradise (hidden away from the rest of the world) * Nature lovers * Adventure lovers * People who favor a healthy life style Possible activities: * Beach & Ocean (swimming, snorkeling, fishing, paddle boating, bonfire / BBQ) * Mountain River (swimming, fish spa, BBQ) * Jungle (hiking on old mountain trails, native hunting trails, bird watching, trip to waterfalls and relaxing in hidden lagoons)
