Panacea Retreat

Sublime. 11/10. Out of this world. We were 5 of us all adults in Purana villa. Purana in Hindi/Sanskrit means old/ancient- there wasn't anything old about it.. 4 bedrooms- we occupied 3. All with ensuite washrooms. Both the rooms and the washrooms very spacious with at least 2 cupboards each. The living/dining area- is humongous - maybe 5k+ sq. ft. Huge sitting area, huge dining table with an open kitchen with every amenity possible- fridge, stove, coffee machine- everything. You enter on the first floor and then walk down to the ground floor to the bedrooms and the pool. The pool, the pool, what a pool- large, easy to wade in, with a bar area on the side. There is also a barbeque area next to it with a large dining table, cooling cabinets and a barbeque grill. The villa comes with a staff of three. They spoil you. Breakfast is included. If you want to get anything else cooked- you tell them what- they get the groceries and cook. We did dinner two nights like that and it was sumptuous. Amazing spread. You can order in also- Grab works effortlessly. For me personally the best thing was that the audio system. Sonos amp (old style ZP100/120). Speakers in the living/dining area and next to the pool. Spotify will work (not much else- as the Sonos amp is very old)- great sound quality. If you download the S1 app you can even sync both sets of speakers. One thing: this place is not walkable from anything- but you don't to get out - at least not for utilities. You need a car to move about - Grab works. If you need to get alcohol- there are online services though if you take a Grab you can reach multiple stores within 5 minutes. Will surely go back-thinking of doing remote work from here. Special call out to Iew.

What an amazing experience having the opportunity to stay at Panacea Retreat. It was private, spacious and Noei and her team were friendly and professional. The villa’s view was stunning and the building architecturally beautifulZ Highly recommend this stay.

We had an unforgettable stay at the hillside Villa Kalya! Perched high above the stunning landscape, the views were nothing short of spectacular. Each morning, we woke up to breathtaking sunrises and the gentle sounds of nature, making it the perfect retreat from our busy lives. The private infinity pool was the cherry on top swimming while taking in the incredible scenery was a dream come true! The staff were exceptional, always exceeding our expectations with their warmth and attention to detail. Best part is my family loves to play Mahjong 🀄️ as part of our family activities even without proper table, staff manage to arrange for us, simply amazing. they were always there to help. This hillside villa was the perfect getaway for our family, offering both relaxation and adventure. We can't recommend it enough and can’t wait to return!
