VILLA SAMADHI is Kuala Lumpur’s best-kept secret. This ravishing villa-in-a-room residence is a hidden oasis of calm in the bustling capital city. Tucked away within an upscale locale surrounded by foreign embassies, VILLA SAMADHI is mere minutes away from the heart of the city, its towering skyscrapers and Golden Triangle of entertainment and shopping. Yet it remains a place of quietude, an acces
sible respite to restore balance to one’s exhausted self. Luxuries here are opulently simple – the luxury of breathing space, the luxury of freedom to do nothing if you wish. VILLA SAMADHI’s collection of 21 contemporary Asian-inspired cribs, span from from 600 square feet to over 2,000 square feet, each different and unique. Indulge in over-sized plunge tubs, romantic balconies overlooking the villa’s very own ‘Blue Lagoon’, plush high-beds, walk-in closets and tech amenities like iPod docks, DVD players and satellite TV. Some are fully equipped with their own modern kitchens and private gardens. The most distinguishing feature is its towering thatched-roof that houses “Bumbung”, its rooftop bar lounge, the ideal location for sunset drinks. The Blue Lagoon is the epicenter of the villa and at its edge is Mandi-Mandi where Chef Thiti’s cuisine is undefined and borderless with an unmistakable flair in French and Japanese cooking techniques. Philosophy
Discreetly receded from street view, VILLA SAMADHI’s bamboo-clad gates open to reveal a most astonishing secret. It is a tribute to the natural beauty of Malaysia, a celebration of the country’s rich natural resources, yet implemented in a polished and sophisticated way. A deep respect for nature and appreciation of aesthetic deign inspired the owners to create not only a living space that is raw and beautiful, but one that endorses a way of life with and within nature’s tapestry. At VILLA SAMADHI guests will find timber salvaged from abandoned kampung (village) houses, bamboo and natural materials sourced from the indigenous Orang Asli, as well as bamboo and wood carpentry crafted on-site by the villa’s own craftsmen. Artisanal crafts are valued, with colourful Southeast Asian hill tribe artwork, Indochinese artifacts, old Chinese furniture adorning the interiors against the signature backdrop of modern glass, polished cement and modern finishings.
