Accommodation

Bedrooms
There are five air-conditioned bedrooms at Villa Kalyani, all with en-suite bathrooms. The two master rooms are situated in separate wings on the upper floor, there is one guestroom on the ground floor of the main building, and there are a further two guest suites located at ground level within the self-contained guest pavilion on the far side of the swimming pool. Additionally, the air-conditioned home theatre can also be used as an extra bedroom with two comfortable upholstered daybeds, which can be made up as double queen size beds. For this purpose, a guest bathroom with rain shower is located just a few meters away from the home cinema. Each bedroom features brushed marble floors, and all are furnished with king-size beds, wardrobes, desks, chairs, shag pile rugs, bedside tables and lamps. In one of the guestrooms, the king bed can be converted to twin beds. Every bedroom boasts an LCD satellite-channel TV and DVD player, and WIFI Internet access is available throughout. All en-suite bathrooms have non-slip Indian slate floors, walk-in rain showers, twin washbasins and huge wall mirrors. The master bedrooms have dressing areas and one of the master bathrooms boasts an enormous 196 x 180 cm bathtub beside a private rooftop garden enclosed by living bamboo. The two self-contained guest suites share an open-air living room complete with a kitchenette and a 7 x 3 meter plunge pool. One of the guestrooms is known as the VIP Room because its en-suite bathroom has a bathtub that appears to float upon a lily pond, flanked by a water cascade.

Dining Room
The dining room is located on the ground floor of the main building, overlooking the garden and pool; it features concertina glass doors that can be closed for air-conditioned comfort or folded open for a semi-alfresco dining experience. The room is furnished with a solid wood table which comfortably seats 14, complete with comfortable upholstered dining chairs. Music and soft lighting emanates from speakers and down lights in the ceiling.

Playroom and Bar
To one side of the dining room is a bar with a black polished granite top, a decorative stacked limestone facade, and four barstools. Next to this bar is the open-sided playroom, which is cooled by ceiling fans, equipped with a full size pool table and another set of hidden speakers, and furnished with a large L-shaped sofa, ottoman and a rustic coffee table.

Home Theatre
The state-of-the-art home theatre is characterized by dark red walls and ceiling, dark red blackout curtains, and some funky, conceptual multi-media artwork. Two huge and comfortable, contemporary-styled daybeds take up the length of the back wall. This air-conditioned room is equipped with a 130-inch screen, supported by surround sound and a projector for showing movies and DVDs, in addition to satellite TV channels. Nintendo Wii is also available and can be transferred to the outdoor cinema, if required.

Living Room
The open-sided living room is cooled by natural breezes and ceiling fans and softly lit by down lights. This stylish contemporary living space is furnished with comfy segmented sofas and a glass topped coffee table. Two speakers bring music into this area and a floating two-toned suar wood staircase is a striking feature, which leads up to the master bedrooms and rooftop sundeck.

Rooftop Decks
The roof of the main two-storey building serves as a sundeck, offering fabulous views of the rice fields. This is a lovely private area for sunbathing or chilling out, furnished with two double daybeds and a red umbrella. To one side is a romantic ‘floating’ swing bed, which is literally a double, deeply cushioned daybed that hangs from the roof and gently rocks its occupants while shading them from the sun. There is another rooftop deck above the guest pavilion, surrounded by pink bougainvillea. This breezy space is ideal for parties and entertainment or for enjoying the magnificent views and sunset from the romantic bale relaxation pavilion, which is draped in white muslin. From here you can see the Bukit Peninsula as well as the mountains on a clear day.

Garden Bar & DJ Booth
Next to the living room and extending poolside, complete with a timber decked floor, is the garden bar and DJ Booth. The Pioneer Pro DJ equipment with deck, mixer, effecter and accessories is provided for the use of professional DJs only at parties and events, but the player sound system is available for guest use, with speakers in every area of the villa apart from the bedrooms. The well-stocked polished black granite bar is flanked by seven fixed bar stools fashioned in chrome and black leather. Adjacent are four very chic and comfy black armchairs positioned around two small drinks tables crafted from solid blocks of wood. The timber deck here doubles as a dance floor.

Sunken ‘Bale’ Lounge and Outdoor Cinema
The ‘bale’ relaxation pavilion has a soaring roof, which protects guest from the sun and ensures that they are always in the shade. Cooled by two ceiling fans, this innovative sunken garden lounge, complete with surround sound, presents a sitting area with two sofas, two chairs and a coffee table. Bordered by the timber pool deck, guests can sit here in comfort and watch movies on the massive 250-inch outdoor cinema screen. This is also a great facility for private functions and weddings. Cleverly disguised speakers rest upon the deck, and the daybeds can be turned to face the screen.

Kitchen
Villa Kalyani’s immaculate, designer kitchen reveals a discriminating taste for functional beauty and cutting-edge style. This professional kitchen is crafted in gleaming white marble with a central island and ample storage. It is fully fitted and fully equipped with two imported ovens, a five-burner hob, a built-in microwave, two large refrigerators, a wine cooler, a cappuccino maker and everything else that the chef needs in order to prepare delicious meals.

Garden and Main Swimming Pool
The expansive garden comprises a flat lawn punctuated with towering coconut palms and flowering shrubs. The central feature is the sparkling 22-metre swimming pool, which incorporates a three-meter shallow area suitable for kids. The ambience at night is enhanced by a fire bowl, which is lit at sunset. The pool is bordered by a timber deck furnished with three double daybeds and red umbrellas in true Ku De Ta-style.

Villa Services

Food and Beverage
Fresh food is prepared daily by the accomplished Chef Gede, who previously worked with the internationally – re-known Kafe Warisan in Bali, and also spent time honing his skills in Japan. He specializes in French, Continental, Asian and Japanese cuisines. The Villa has a house menu to provide ideas for meals, which the chef will tailor to suit guests’ needs by discussing food preferences. Dinner parties, functions, unique dietary requirements and special orders can all be catered for, and meals can be a simple affair or a grand banquet according to guests’ whims. Food products and drinks are purchased in well-stocked supermarkets and delicatessens, or in the local markets where the fresh healthy produce is especially good and inexpensive. Guests are asked to pay for the shopping at the time of ordering the food, upon purchase of which all receipts and change will be returned. The only additional charge above menu ingredients is a modest amount to cover the transportation cost.

Villa Kalyani offers a standard of service and privacy that exceeds hotel levels. The staffs are specially trained to be discrete and will never disturb guests while they are in their rooms. The staff team comprises one manager, one chef, four butlers, one pool attendant and two security guards. All are devoted to attending to guest needs with immaculate, unobtrusive service.

Location
Villa Kalyani is located within the beautiful agricultural belt between Kuta and Tanah Lot, an area that is home to some of the most luxurious private residences on the island. This out of town setting offers the double attraction of being close to the shops and restaurants of Seminyak, while also presenting a fascinating insight into the traditions of rural Bali. Cows are herded through the fields, rice is planted and harvested throughout the year, and the sound of ritual music is carried on the breeze. On a clear day, the rice field view from Villa Kalyani is enhanced by the magical sight of Bali’s mountains. The trendy areas of Seminyak and Petitenget (15 minutes drive), offer a wide choice of international restaurants, including the famous ‘Ku De Ta’, Metis, ‘Living Room’, ‘Hu’u', ‘La Lucciola’, ‘Sardine’ and ‘Sarong’, as well as plenty of bars, nightspots, designer boutiques and lavish spas.

At the nearby Echo Beach, guests will find a strip of restaurants and cafes set upon a beachside buff. Here, the Beach House restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating, live music, and an extensive international menu, together with a daily barbeque. This is a fun social scene, especially around sunset. For horse lovers, the family-run ‘Kuda P’ stables is just five minutes’ drive from the villa, offering rides and tuition. The Nirwana Golf Course designed by Greg Norman and renowned as one of the best golf courses in Asia, is a 20-minute drive.

The Villas
The villa’s design combines traditional Balinese architecture with clean modern lines, numerous indoor and outdoor spaces that allow groups to gather but also allow the privacy to get away from everyone and everything. Set in almost an acre of wonderful tropical gardens overlooking the rice fields, the villa is a short walk from the beach and a short drive to the chic restaurants and bars of Seminyak.

Designed in partnership with internationally renowned architect Glenn Parker, Villa Bendega Villas respects the style, proportion and symmetry of traditional Balinese architecture within a modern tropical design. Built as a series of five pavilions totaling almost 1,000 m2 and constructed with uncompromising attention to detail, the villa is finished with the highest quality materials including Indonesian hardwood floors, Balinese ceramics, Indian sandstone and Italian travertine, chosen for their natural beauty and durability.

Villa Bendega Villas offers plenty of private spaces to get away from it all and unwind. The four large bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms and private balconies, are positioned to capture stunning views. A reading bale, a gym and massage room with outdoor bath, a library with 50-inch plasma TV, a games room complete with pool table, and a sun deck hidden below the pool provide ample opportunities for relaxation. For gatherings, the villa has a stunning open sitting area that overlooks the rice fields, a separate air-conditioned dining room with a table that seats up to 20, a pool pavilion with outdoor dining for 10 or more and an 11m x 11m infinity-edge pool, both situated to catch the fabulous Bali sunsets.

The villa’s contemporary design is enhanced with thoughtfully chosen Balinese and Javanese sculptures, cabinets and artifacts – many of them antique – as well as bright floral fabrics and custom-printed traditional ikat textiles that bring the stylish dark-wood furniture to vivid life. State-of-the-art facilities include a Sonos digital music system that can be programmed to match musical moods in several different ‘zones’, a modern kitchen, satellite television and DVD players and air conditioning in all the indoor areas.

The extensive gardens surrounding Villa Bendega Villas are laid out as a series of courtyards separated by the pavilions, three large koi-filled ponds and two large lawns. The gardens are dotted with frangipani, oil palms, jasmine, yuccas, African tulip trees and an abundance of tropical fruit.

A dedicated, discreet team of staff, including an excellent chef, are on hand to look after visitors with wide smiles and willing service, leaving you free to indulge in the special charm and beauty of Bali.

Location
Surrounded by terraced rice fields and only five minutes’ walk from the beach, Villa Bendega Villas (meaning ‘fisherman’ in the local language) borders a small fishing village of the same name in the district of Canggu, southwest Bali. Despite its rural setting the villa is only 20 minutes’ drive from the restaurants and shops of cosmopolitan Seminyak, an hour from Bali’s cultural centre of Ubud, and 30 minutes from the international airport.

Staff
One of the greatest advantages of staying in a villa is the personal service provided by the villa’s dedicated team of professional staff. The team will look after every villa guest – from toddler to grandparent – in true Balinese style by understanding individual expectations and preferences. The Villa Manager and Chef, in particular, will be delighted to discuss your desires or concerns.

TOUR THE VILLA

Orientation
Villa Bendega Villas has been carefully designed to maximize its 3,500m2 of land amidst the rice terraces of Canggu. The villa’s six buildings form a rough ‘H’ shape, with the main living and sleeping accommodation spread across the two-storey horizontal bar of the ‘H’, and one of the three master bedrooms, the pool pavilion, the gym and the staff quarters forming the four ‘prongs’. This pleasing symmetry is carried through to many elements within the villa, including the 11m2 swimming pool which lies between the pool pavilion and a master bedroom pavilion.

Entry
The villa is entered via gates which slide open to reveal a 2m-high black-stone Buddha head serenely welcoming visitors to the property. The entry courtyard provides ample room for parking and is dotted with frangipani, oil palms, jasmine, yuccas and African tulip trees. Guests walk over sandstone steps across a large koi-filled pond to the main entrance doors.

Sitting room
Two sets of tall sliding doors at the entrance to the main building open to reveal a spectacular open-air, double-height sitting room which faces the garden and pool, and overlooks the rice fields beyond. This space, which seats 12, is furnished with two oversized black teak sofas and armchairs set around matching coffee tables. The black upholstery is brought to life with vibrant contrasting green and orange cushions. Along the back wall of the sitting room, an ancient canoe has been topped with glass and transformed into a 6m-long table; a stunning centerpiece for a buffet dinner. Above the canoe, 10 antique carved wooden panels are framed against the golden sandstone walls.

A galleried timber walkway runs above the sitting area and then ducks back to the upstairs of the bedrooms, providing another opportunity to enjoy the views.

Dining room and Kitchen
To the right of the sitting room, glass sliding doors lead into the formal, wooden-floored, dining room, displaying a massive 5m-long solid Marbau dining table which will seat up to 20 people. More sliding glass doors open onto the garden at the front, while a large mirror is set in an antique door frame at the far end of the room. A charming old green glass-fronted cabinet houses glassware and crockery next to a door which leads through to the kitchen.

The kitchen at Villa Bendega Villas reflects the owners’ love of cooking. The fully-fitted, air-conditioned, modern kitchen has dark wood cabinets and cream-colored Corian work tops. The chef’s biggest delight is the range of equipment – including an extra large oven, a Jura Impressa coffee machine, waffle-maker, Cuisinart panini toaster, ice cream maker and dishwasher, to name but a few. The kitchen is also equipped with two large fridges, a freezer and wine fridge in the pantry.

Library
On the other side of the open-air sitting room is the comfortable library and adjoining games room. A set of floor-to-ceiling shelves contain numerous books on Bali and Indonesia as well as more popular holiday reading. The library has a 50-inch flat-screen television with DVD player and more than 50 international satellite channels. An L-shaped sofa and two floral printed chairs offer plenty of comfort in front of the TV.

Games room
The games room is surrounded by glass and can be opened up on three sides to the gardens if desired. A high, round table and bar stools plus two easy chairs provide seating for spectators. While the full-sized pool table is the centre of attention, there is a wide selection of games, for those less adept with the cue.

Across from the library and games room is a delightful guest washroom. Finished in warm Indian Sandstone, and furnished with a very beautiful antique cabinet featuring colorfully painted Indonesian characters, this washroom opens into a small walled garden planted with frangipani trees and decorated with carved stone panels and pedestals.

Pool and Pool Pavilion
Across the lawn, directly opposite the living room, the 11m x 11m stone-tiled infinity-edged swimming pool overlooks the rice fields. As well as being large enough for some serious swimming, the pool is perfectly positioned for sunset cocktails, which can be enjoyed from the wide stone ’shelves’ set into the pool at just the right depth. To the right of the pool a large open-sided pavilion is home to a huge L-shaped daybed, upholstered in waterproof orange Sunbrella fabric and scattered with bright, sunny cushions; and you can roll straight into the pool from the matching beanbags at the edge of the pool deck.

The round table and chairs at the centre of the pool pavilion will seat up to 10 people for casual outdoor dining. This is a great place to congregate at the start of the day for a ‘come-as-you-please’ breakfast. Behind a sliding louvered door at one side of the pool pavilion is a water cooler, bar fridge and sink. Around the corner a door leads into a guest changing room with toilet and shower.

Garden Bale
To the far side of the lawn, perched over another koi pond that leads to one of the bedrooms, is a peaceful relaxation bale furnished with a comfortable daybed, floor cushions and two petrified-wood stools.

Gym and Massage Room
To the right of the entry courtyard, a stepping-stone pathway leads across the lawn to the gym and massage room, housed in its own private pavilion. This room is divided by a folding carved wood screen, with a massage bed on one side and an exercise bike and treadmill on the other. While they exercise, gym users have the option to watch TV or listen to music, which can be programmed specifically for this room. Although surrounded by glass on three sides, the gym and massage room is fitted with blinds which can be pulled down for privacy and the room can be fan-cooled or air conditioned.

Tucked away behind the gym is an outdoor bathroom with toilet, rain shower and, the piece de resistance, a huge bathtub carved from a single piece of black granite, reached by stepping stones over a tranquil pond. The walled garden surrounding the tub is planted with frangipani and palms and a Flame of the Forest tree – a sublime place to relieve those aching muscles after a good work-out.

Bedrooms
Every bedroom at Villa Bendega Villas has lovely open views across the greener-than-green rice fields of Canggu. The villa can accommodate eight people in three king-bedded rooms and one twin bedroom (which can convert into a fourth king-bedded room). There is capacity to add two more fold-away beds for children if required. All bedrooms are generously sized, tastefully furnished, and have en-suite bathrooms and outdoor balconies.

Master Bedroom – Ground Floor – Purple Room
Accessed by stepping stones across a garden pond, the first master bedroom is housed in its own pavilion at the front of the gardens, directly overlooking the rice fields. This room is private, peaceful and perfectly placed. A canopied, four-poster, king-size bed is the focus of the room, facing a private terrace and the rice fields beyond. Behind the bed is a large, walk-through, mirrored dressing area with enough wardrobe space for even the most extended of stays. The room is furnished with antique console tables, bedside cabinets and an easy chair upholstered in ikat fabric, custom-printed to match the other purple accessories in the room. A door at the side of the bedroom leads out to the pool and gardens.

The en-suite bathroom is vast. At one end, again overlooking the rice fields is a sunken double bathtub. Two wash basins are set in Travertine vanity tops running along the side of the bathroom while, at the far end, a large walk-in shower offers both rain shower and hand shower fittings.

Master Bedroom – Upstairs – The Orange Room
This bedroom is positioned at the far right of the upper floor in the main building directly above the dining room. Accessed by a private walkway, a centrally placed, canopied, four-poster king-size bed looks out onto a private terrace with daybed which, in turn, overlooks the gardens, pool and rice fields. To the right of the bed is an antique yellow and green painted Javanese cupboard, on top of which are two painted wooden cockerels.

Directly behind the bed, the dressing area leads through to another large en-suite bathroom presenting similar fittings to those in all the master bedrooms, but this time the super-size bathtub overlooks the gardens of the villa. Adjoining the bedroom is a study equipped with a laptop computer and printer.

Master Bedroom – Upstairs – The Green Room
At the opposite end of the upper floor another king-bedded master bedroom awaits. The large bathroom also has a separate shower and a large bathtub with views of the ocean. The room is furnished with teak console tables, bedside cabinets and an easy chair upholstered in ikat fabric, custom-printed to match the other green accessories in the room. A canopied king-size four-poster bed looks out over a full ‘wall’ of sliding glass doors that lead out onto a balcony furnished with a colorful daybed which is shared with the twin room next door.

Twin Room – Upstairs – Turquoise Room
Villa Bendega Villas has been designed with families in mind and this twin-bedded room, with its turquoise accessories is ideal for children (the beds can be easily converted to a king size if preferred). This bedroom also features a 37-inch flat screen TV. Fitted wardrobes and shelving, an antique console, an easy chair and bedside tables complete the furnishings. The en-suite bathroom has a spacious walk-in shower and double wash basins.

VILLA FACILITIES

Wine & Dine

An open dialogue will keep both chef and guests happy! Please discuss meals in advance (ideally 24 hours) to allow the chef the time he needs to prepare the provision. Daily breakfast is included in the villa rate.

Once selections are made, guests can relax and enjoy delicious home-cooked food – Asian and Western – prepared where and when they like. The chef loves to delight villa guests with his beautifully presented dishes – from roasted vegetable salads, to Balinese chicken curry, to nasi goreng (friend rice), to steak and chips. His desserts are not to be missed either – or his home-made jams and chutneys. He is happy to try out new dishes and willing to share his kitchen with guests – especially if they can show him how to prepare their favorite dishes.

Wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks are also available on request and will be charged for at the end of your stay.

Villa Mana is entered via a bridge over a shallow pool fed by a water cascade and lined with black candi stone. As well as being an architectural feature of the villa, this also makes for a wonderful children’s paddling pool. To the left of the entrance pool is a flat grass lawn dotted with palms and furnished with sun loungers.

Living & Dining areas
The entrance bridge leads into the reception area, open-air living and dining areas and pool deck. From here, guests’ eyes will be drawn to the highlight of Villa Mana; the amazing view of Bali’s famous rice terraces and, in the evenings, magical sunsets. This beautiful vista is framed by the architecture of the building and reflected in the swimming pool. The main dining area has a large wooden table that can seat 12, and to one side of this is the main sitting area, wired for sound with a Bose CD player and comfortably furnished with deeply cushioned sofas and a coffee table. To the front is a more casual seating area that segues into the timber pool deck area spanning the expanse of the villa.

Ensuite Bedrooms
To the left of the living and dining area are the three principle ensuite bedrooms, all of which are air-conditioned. The downstairs master bedroom faces the rice terraces and features floor-to-ceiling glass doors that can be fully opened. The room is furnished with a king bed, and there is a dressing area to one side, a mirrored wall and leather-clad wardrobes. A kilim floor rug adds a splash of colour. The expansive, elongated bathroom has a skylight roof and is partially open at one end, allowing the cool breezes to permeate. It is fitted with a circular concrete bathtub, double washbasins and a pendulous rainshower that hangs above the tub. Outside of the glass doors on the deck to the pool area is a semi-private round daybed for reading and general relaxation. The other two en-suite bedrooms face the flat lawn and again the glass doors can be fully opened. Both bedrooms have king beds, built in wardrobes and desks. The bathrooms are similar to the downstairs master bathroom.

Kitchen
To the right of the living room is an open plan kitchen, a chef’s dream in black, separated from the living area by a floor-to-ceiling river rock wall. The kitchen has state-of-the-art cooking facilities including an imported oven and five-burner hob. It is fitted with a central island, a black mirrored splashback and black cabinets; even the refrigerator is black! Guests are welcome to cook at any time together with the chef or on their own.

Swimming Pool
Behind the kitchen and bordering the pool is a casual dining table with long bench seats accommodating up to 12. There is also a casual sitting area here furnished with a sofa and two chairs. The polished black concrete floor extends to the timber pool deck, which is furnished with all-weather rattan sunbeds and sofa-style daybeds, and dappled by five beautiful century-old white flowering frangipani trees. The 18 x 7 metre pool is designed in the style of Japanese onsen baths with four infinity edges over which the water appears to cascade into the breathtaking rice field view beyond. At one end of the pool is a ‘bale’ covered seating area and behind this is an additional open-air bathroom with outdoor shower. On the far side of the pool is a broad wooden staircase flanked by a pair of coconut palms, descending to a lower level. This is a great entrance for a wedding. The steps can be used as seats forming an amphitheatre, leading onto a huge flat lawn the size of a football pitch, bordered by flowering shrubs and trees and open to the rice terrace vista. The property is surrounded on three sides by natural river stone buttress walls that rise up to six metres. A decked walkway across the front of the villa leads to a secret spot, a huge half moon daybed, shaded by an ancient frangipani tree with red blossoms.

Entertainment Room
Further down, beyond the kitchen and approached by a narrow high passageway with black timber walls, is an enormous air-conditioned entertainment room / children’s playroom furnished with a massive sofa, armchairs and a lazy chair, and equipped with a 2.3 x 1.2 metre satellite projection screen TV/ DVD player, Fu&ball (table football), and shelves brimming with films, books, toys and games.

Children’s & Master Bedrooms
Opposite the entertainment room is an air-conditioned children’s bedroom with twin beds and a trundle bed. Next to this is an air-conditioned office with a glass topped writing desk, and a queen bed on a mezzanine platform above. Both of these rooms share a large bathroom. Here, a square polished concrete bathtub with a rainshower is flanked by a pandanus tree that reaches up towards a semi-open glass roof.

There are more surprises to come… The rooftop of Villa Mana supports two more master bedrooms, a TV room / study, and an abundance of open-air space for lounging, dining, reclining and relishing the extraordinary 180 views over the rice fields to the sea and the distant mountains. Sunsets from this lofty perch are awesome! The breezy roof terrace presents an open-air sitting area with a huge cushioned built-in daybed under a pergola roof. The concrete deck is also furnished with a number of daybeds and umbrellas, and a wooden outdoor table for 12, which is perfect for sunset cocktails. The two air-conditioned master bedrooms feature walls of glass and Chinese-styled sliding doors. Both rooms are furnished with king size beds crafted in leather, huge mirrors and black lamps. Each bedroom also showcases a padded screen wall cloaked in black and gold silk, and a chair in the same fabric. Each huge ensuite bathroom incorporates a dressing area with mirror-fronted wardrobes, a central polished concrete vanity unit with sunken sculptured washbasins, a walk-in rainshower with timber decking underfoot, and a deep Japanese wooden bathtub for two, fashioned in suar wood. The toilet in each bathroom is situated in a large cubicle hidden by soft white drapes. The air-conditioned TV room / study is furnished with a black leather sofa and ottoman, and a glass topped desk with a chair and a reading lamp. This spacious room is also equipped with a large flat screen TV and DVD player.

Villa Mana caters to children of all ages. For babies, a sleeping cot is available, as well as two highchairs and pool toys. WiFi connection to the internet is available on-site at no additional charge.

Location
Villa Mana is hidden away in the traditional village of Babakan, just ten minutes’ drive from the beach at Canggu on Bali’s southwest coast.

The Setting
The property is entered via a traditional Balinese gate, sheltered by a thatched roof and framed in a patchwork of random rocks. A pathway leads past bulrush ponds and water spouts, and a welcome ensemble of five gamelan musicians hand-carved out of local paras stone. Stepping stones weave through the neat garden, past palm trees, dwarf lanterns, tipsy earthenware pots and sweet scented frangipani, between twin lotus ponds stocked with fish, to the 9 x 6 metre stand-alone living pavilion, which is centrally positioned, facing the ocean and bordering the pool deck. This room is completely encompassed by glass to preserve the view through the garden; the clever design allows guests to completely fold back the doors to create an open-air pavilion, cooled by natural breezes and ceiling fans. Bamboo blinds on all four sides can be dropped for privacy and shade. Featuring a cool terrazzo floor, the room is tastefully furnished with deeply-cushioned sofas, a low coffee table and stylish lamps. A selection of games and magazines is provided for the use of the guests, together with a high quality music system with surround sound provided by speakers hidden in the roof.

Positioned on the seaward side, aspected west towards the magnificent sunsets, the angled swimming pool appears to overflow into the beachfront garden. A timber sundeck is located on one side, the raised position ensuring that it catches the cool sea breezes. It is furnished with four sunbeds and two umbrellas and there is also an outdoor shower. A Buddha statue rests at one end overlooking the fresh green coastal lawns, which are dotted with coconut palms. The gardens are perfect for weddings, parties and functions, and also provide a great play area for children.

Dining & Kitchen
Approached by stepping stones, the striking hexagonal dining pavilion is completely open-air, sheltered by a soaring alang-alang grass roof. It features a terrazzo floor and is furnished with a grand dining table and ten chairs; a wonderful place to enjoy a semi-alfresco dining experience within sight and sound of the sea. A guest washroom and toilet is discreetly positioned to one side.

The immaculate, well equipped western-style kitchen adjoins the dining pavilion, and is fully fitted with gas stove, oven, and numerous appliances. Here, the cook will prepare delicious meals from a menu of Indonesian and International dishes.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The master bedroom is situated within another self-contained single storey pavilion. It is entered by a pair of solid teak antique doors complemented by a teakwood floor, and is characterised by a king-size four-poster bed draped in white muslin, together with cane planter chairs, ceramic lamps and eye-catching local artwork. The bedroom is also equipped with a flat screen satellite TV with DVD/music system, together with a split air-conditioning unit and overhead ceiling fan. Large sliding glass doors open on to an outdoor verandah running the length of the bedroom. This sheltered timber deck is furnished with a huge daybed, where guests can relax and enjoy the ocean vista and the rhythmic murmur of the waves. A door leads off the bedroom into a walk-in wardrobe complete with shelves, hanging space and a safe deposit box. The romantic en-suite garden bathroom is walled for privacy and is characterised by an open-air shower on a Palimanan stand, bordered by frangipani, palms, giant taro leaves and colourful croton. The room is dominated by an oversized sunken bathtub, fashioned out of cream terrazzo. The toilet is hidden behind a half-wall, on top of which reclines a Buddha statue.

Two more air-conditioned bedrooms, each complete with an en-suite bathroom, are located on the ground floor of the main two-storey building. One room is furnished with twin beds, ideal for kids, together with desk, chair, radio/tape player, built in wardrobe, ceiling fan and safe deposit box.

A double bedroom is also accessed from the wooden deck, and is a mirror image of the room next door complete with adjoining garden bathroom. It is furnished with a king size bed, together with desk, chair, radio/tape player, built in wardrobe, ceiling fan and safe deposit box.

An external sweeping staircase curves up to a large wooden balcony deck with a comfortable daybed from where guests can enjoy fantastic panoramic views while chilling out with a book or a sunset cocktail. This upstairs area houses the fourth air-conditioned bedroom, complete with sliding glass doors onto the balcony. It is attractively furnished with a four-poster king-size canopied bed and a time-honoured chest of drawers, and is fitted with a ceiling fan and safe deposit box. It also features an antique wooden door that leads onto the balcony. A third door accesses a bathroom with shower cubicle, toilet and shell-veneered washbowl. The top section of the exterior wall is open to allow the fresh air to permeate together with the soothing sound of running water from the fountain in the garden below.

The study room is positioned next door to the upstairs bedroom and shares the adjoining bathroom. This room also doubles as a fifth bedroom, where guests can relax in snug, air-conditioned comfort. It is well equipped with a desk, Broadband Internet access, computer, 29-inch flat screen plasma TV with satellite reception and DVD/music system.

Practicalities, such as the staff quarters and laundry, are taken care of in the service area beside the entrance to the property, leaving the remainder of the villa free to enjoy the garden and ocean view. Guests also have use of a full-size tennis court and mountain bikes. With its spacious and luxurious atmosphere, Villa Tanju Bali is ideally suited for families and small groups of discerning people who want to experience the best of Bali.

The Location
Villa Tanju is located on the coast, within the beautiful agricultural belt between Kuta and Tanah Lot; an area that is home to some of the most luxurious private residences on the island. Remarkably laidback and undeveloped, this tranquil out-of-town setting offers the double attraction of being relatively close to everything that guests might need, while also offering visitors a privileged insight into the traditions of rural Bali. The nearby sweeping beach is renowned for its panoramic coastline views and legendary sunsets. It has some world-class surf breaks but the currents are strong and it can be dangerous for swimming. The trendy Seminyak area, a mere twenty minutes drive away, offers a wide choice of international restaurants, chic cocktail bars, exciting nightclubs, lavish spas and elegant shops. Convenient for most of the island’s tourist attractions, the villa is forty-five minutes’ drive from Bali’s International Airport and fifteen minutes from Nirwana Golf Course.
