Lazydays in Goa vacation rentals and holidays villas and apartments in Goa, India.

Whether you are a couple looking for that romantic get away or group of friends, Coco Shambhala will suit all.

COCO SHAMBHALA IN THE MAKING

After 11 years of operating villa holidays in Goa we are very proud that Giles and Neil Knapton, the owners of Coco Shambhala, conceived planned and created their wonderful project specifically with Lazydays and our guests in mind.

The brief given to their architect was to design a house which celebrated the romance of living in the tropics acknowledging that the most seductive rooms have no doors or windows and are sumptuously furnished indoor-outdoor spaces. As Tim Street Porter the author and photographer says “The ambient warmth of the tropics causes distinctions between indoors and outdoors to evaporate, along with the walls that divide them”.

Coco Shambhala has recently been completed and we are now welcoming our first guests. These lovely villas fully encapsulate the ethos of Lazydays providing tranquil, highly individual contemporary holiday homes with a great deal of thought to levels of comfort without compromising the experience of a holiday in a tropical setting. A perfect synthesis of nature and architecture with inside gardens and outside rooms.

Ground Floor

COLONNADED GARDEN ROOM
The architect used his penchant for hedonistic spaces to create a luxurious open-air jet pool area. By day this tranquil space is a shady haven cooled by cross ventilation and by night an atmospheric cloistered space with artistically lit pillars, flickering candles and dappled reflected light on the walls.
BEDROOM 1
This lovely air-conditioned double bedded room has 3 sets of French windows that open onto a totally private garden. There is a flat screen TV with satellite channels and a DVD/CD player. The bathroom is en suite with his and hers basins.

First Floor:
The first floor is accessed by two staircases, one directly from the garden up to the living area and the other an internal one leading to the second bedroom.

BEDROOM 2
This first floor bedroom is also air-conditioned and has an enormous 6-foot wide double bed or twin beds on request. There is a flat screen TV with satellite channels and a DVD/CD player. There is a sit out balcony on one side and a Juliet balcony on the other allowing cross ventilation. En suite bathroom
KITCHEN
The kitchen although a separate room flows seamlessly outdoors onto a shady dining terrace and lounge area through two sets of double French doors.
LIVING/DINING AREA
Truly tropical living. Enjoy the comfort of a fully furnished open air living room but at tree top level!.

ADDITIONAL BEDS
This villa can accommodate:

1 Extra Bed
1 Roll up mattress for accompanying staff

OUTSIDE
In addition to the small private garden area immediately outside the villa you can also enjoy the luscious shared tropical gardens and swimming pool which make up Coco Shambhala. The swimming pool is immediately outside your villa. This freeform jungle pool blends perfectly into its tropical surroundings with tempting cool emerald green water - it is as much a water feature of the garden as a recreational pool. It has a lap area with grand entrance ghats for the swimming enthusiast and shallow shelves for lounging on for the not so energetic. And for that added touch of indulgence why not spoil yourself each day with an Ayervedic treatment massage. In a quiet corner deep in the lush exotic garden is secreted a private therapy area where by appointment a therapist from Shatayu Ayurvedic Health Clinic can provide full ayurvedic treatments and massage on site.

LOCATION
Nerul, with its ideal position close to Coco, Candolim and Sinquerim Beaches and lovely creeks and rivulets flowing through the area, is fast becoming the place to put down roots in Goa. With the arrival of fashion designers, Bollywood film legends, socialites and the like all currently with projects on the go it is most definitely the place to be. Coco Shambhala is in a quiet backwater approached along a lane that runs from the centre of the Nerul village towards Coco Beach. A car and driver is provided for up to 10 hours a day to help you explore the area and make the short drive to the beach, restaurants and lively shops of Candolim and beyond.
