Villa Layang - Tampah Hills

Villa Layang’s unique exterior mirrors the overall topography. In fact, the challenging terrain the villa was built on adds to its distinctive overall design. It is perched on a hillside with a steep gradient which is snugly anchored between two ridges. This supports the lower level and makes the upper floor’s expansive flat section include the swimming pool possible. The sloping roof is is eye-catching and is quite reminiscent of Indonesian layang-layang kites.

The overall design aesthetic is a mix of flowing lines with minimalist flair, combining a touch of stylish Scandinavian and modern tropical touches. Constructed with natural materials in warm hues, almost all fixtures and some soft furnishings have been custom built. The interiors have a compelling mix of smooth handcrafted wood fixtures and exposed natural stonework, again mimicking the surrounding terrain.

The open-plan flowing layout encourages social interaction with many spaces – inside and out – perfect for intimate gatherings or a private celebration. Well placed dividers offer self-contained areas for private relaxation too. A grand dining table looks out over the sweeping ocean view through full height sliding glass doors and the high ceilings enable the flow of cool ocean breezes. This expansive open social/living area also houses a huge modern kitchen and breakfast bar.

The angular pool (with a kid friendly shallow area) and terrace is an inviting vantage point to take in the view, relax and enjoy al fresco snacks or dinner. The poolside sunken sofa is the perfect spot to unwind.

Beneath the pool terrace are the two master bedrooms and two spacious guest bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms featuring organic bath products. The bedrooms have modern sleek lines in natural tones with a touch of bold, contrasting colours. They have ample storage space and lounging area. Room amenities include a TV, coffee machine and a minibar. There is free, fast Wi-Fi connectivity throughout.  

Villa Layang is a unique architectural gem at Tampah Hills, as are all the custom designed luxury villa residences here. Each one of them is a self-contained mini resort oasis with unmatched privacy. Still, this growing luxury villa community has an array of amenities such as expansive park areas, dining, a sports centre and spa. There is even a downhill mountain bike track through the jungle.
