The entry into this walled estate is lined with huge palms and
there's a two car covered garage with maid's quarters detached from
the villa. When you arrive you'll walk up a sweeping curved stairway
and enter through huge carved doors with stained glass windows on
either side. You will immediately notice the incredible 30-foot
cathedral ceiling, carved stone walls, Greek floors with Bali rugs,
indirect lighting, domed brick ceiling in the dining room and
unbelievable sweeping view of Akumal Bay.
The kitchen is
immense, has a domed brick ceiling, is fully equipped and has a
breakfast table - it even has a wet bar that passes through to the
living room! There's a great powder room and the living room couches
are decked out in tiger print fabric with lots of cushions.
Every room in Taj-kumal has a beautiful view of the ocean.
There are two large air-conditioned guest bedrooms downstairs with
high ceilings, walk in closets, king-size beds and huge bathrooms.
You reach the immense and very dramatic master bedroom upstairs by
ascending a spiral wooden staircase. The first thing you'll see is
the canopied teak king-size bed in front of a carved stone wall. It
has a wraparound covered balcony where you will want to spend many
hours reading and enjoying the constant breeze off of Akumal Bay.
The bathroom is actually three rooms: one for the toilet and bidet,
one for the two basin main room and another for the double head
shower stall. The dcor is unique and beautiful with gorgeous tile
work.
Taj-kumal is on an incredible beach and has a gorgeous
"lagoon style" swimming pool with Pagoda pool house on the beach
side of the villa. There's a pass-through from the kitchen for
outdoor entertaining and the entire roof of the villa is an
observatory for looking at the stars or watching the spectacular
Sunrises over Akumal Bay. The villa was designed to enjoy the
constant ocean breeze so has no air conditioning in the living area
or master bedroom - the ceilings are so high and there are so many
windows that it stays very very cool. Honestly.it doesn't need air
conditioning.
This villa is special..special dcor, special
location, location, location! It will be ready for it's first guests
Christmas week, 2001. |
