Villa Samsara ~ Turks & Caicos

Samsara is a luxury retreat located in the beautiful beaches of Turks & Caicos overlooking the reefs of the Princess Alexandra National Park. The 3.5 acres ocean side property is edged by soft white sands, clear turquoise waters and pristine coral heads.

Award-winning designer Architect Ronald A. Shaw designed this Caicos paradise with guest’s enjoyment in mind. The pavilions and guest suites surround a cascade of swimming pools and opulent facilities, designed to provide tranquility for each guest whilst allowing the pleasure of collective experiences.

The villa’s elevated position above the beach enhances the spectacular views from one end of the island to the other. The living room and kitchen is outfitted with Panda’s retractable glass doors to maximize the indoor/outdoor experience and to capitalize on the breathtaking views.

The “al fresco” dining pavilion and terrace forms a seamless outdoor space when the horizontal sliding walls are stacked parallel to the corners providing a 180° view of the sea and the rest of the island.

The luxurious dining room for formal dining; floats above the pool, with a curved Lift & Slide door system, coral chandelier and a double height roof evoking the shape of a giant manta ray.

Each guest suite features an open plan concept where glass wall systems can be fully opened to give the appearance of the roofs floating over the almost endless, coral-stone decks and floor span. The guest suites are quietly lavish with either views of the ocean or the landscaped gardens where guests can be lulled to sleep by the soothing sounds of the sea.
