Villa Sembilan (5 Bedrooms)

pristine — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:47:37 +0000

Delightful Villa Sembilan nestles within the Laksmana Villas private estate, just footsteps away from the Indian Ocean at Seminyak Beach on Bali’s southwest coast.

This five-bedroom property is comprised of two self-contained villas, each with a private entrance and a private pool, presenting guests with a two, three or five bedroom renting option. The three-bedroom main villa and the two-bedroom Master Suite can either be linked or remain totally separate and private.

Villa Sembilan’s style blends modern Balinese architecture with local materials and imported fixtures and fittings, with interior design that features startling splashes of colour complemented by soft furnishings and other sumptuous fabrics. Romantic walled gardens showcase the villa’s lush tropical vegetation including fragrant flowering trees and shrubs, orchids, ferns, scarlet hibiscus, pandanas and coconut palms.

Main Villa

The beautiful, open-sided, living and dining pavilion epitomises tropical living at its very best. Bordered by the main pool and adjoining koi fish ponds, this ample lounge is cooled by natural breezes and ceiling fans. Wooden pillars support a traditional ‘alang alang’ thatched roof above a cream terrazzo paved floor. The contemporary furnishings include a pair of deeply cushioned rattan sofas, a coffee table, ottoman, desk and table lamps that are complemented by hand-carved stone statues and antique Indonesian artefacts from around the archipelago. Ideal for entertaining and relaxing, there is also a dining table that seats ten people and a quality music system with surround speakers in the ceiling.

White Palimanan paving stones beside the 12 x 4 metre swimming pool create an attractive patio, with four teak sunloungers and sun-umbrellas provided for the comfort of guests. Beside the pool is a ‘bale bengong’ relaxation pavilion furnished with cushions and a comfortable mattress. The Balinese word ‘bengong’ means ‘lost in thought’, and ‘bale’ means an abode, so a bale bengong is literally a ‘contemplation house’, designed for reflection, dreaming and meditation. This is also a great spot for practising yoga or enjoying a massage while being serenaded by the tranquil sound of the cascading waterfall at the far end of the pool. A bench seat is positioned in the pool, so that guests can sit underneath the waterfall and experience an exhilarating shower.

Two of the bedrooms, the Sinta Room and the Rama Room, are located on the ground floor, with the entrances heralded by a terracotta replica of a ‘candi’ from the Majapahit era, positioned in a red alcove. The prime room is situated upstairs under a soaring thatched roof with a lovely view overlooking the garden and pool. Each bedroom is tastefully furnished with a king-size bed, armchairs, tables, lamps and local artwork. Each is equipped with individually controlled air-conditioning, DVD/CD player, flat screen TV with satellite channels, and a safe deposit box. The Sita and Rama rooms are each characterised by Palimanan stone floors, French windows and walk-in dressing rooms. The Prime room is distinguished by a warm timber floor and a fitted wardrobe.

Each bedroom has a luxurious en-suite bathroom, fashioned in cream marble with built in cupboards, shelf units and mirrors. The ground floor garden bathrooms are open to the sky, walled for privacy and planted with leafy shrubs harmonised with staghorn ferns and whimsical stone carvings. Each features a semi-alfresco bathtub, twin washbasins, a raindrop shower with a built-in seat, and a toilet. The en-suite bathroom for the Prime Room features marble walls, timber floor, twin washbasins, toilet and walk-in raindrop shower with a built-in seat. A terracotta tiled sundeck next to the Prime Room presents a tempting spot for a sunset rooftop cocktail.

Master Suite

The self-contained Master Suite is accessed by its own private entrance or via an adjoining door that links it to the Main Villa. It is comprised of the master bedroom, master bathroom, large dressing room, a study room that also doubles as an additional bedroom complete with an en-suite shower room, a kitchenette, an alfresco dining terrace, a verandah with a built-in daybed, and a walled garden with 6 x 3 metre pool fed by waterspouts.

The air-conditioned master bedroom is distinguished by glass doors on two sides and a marble floor. It is dominated by a king-size bed and is also furnished with a desk, chairs, oriental rugs, and a cushioned daybed. It is equipped with a DVD/CD player and flat screen TV with satellite channels. The large walk-in dressing room features plenty of hanging and storage space and is also equipped with a safe deposit box.

The master bathroom is crafted in cream marble and fitted with a luxurious Jacuzzi bathtub, twin washbasins, a toilet and bidé, and a walk-in raindrop shower with a built-in seat.

The air-conditioned study is a cosy room with a warm timber floor, a computer with high speed Internet broadband connection, and wooden shelves containing a library of books, DVDs and magazines. It is furnished with a desk, two chairs, and a sofa bed that can be converted into either twin beds or a double bed. The adjoining bathroom is fitted with a rainshower, washbasin and toilet.

The kitchenette is equipped with a gas hob with four burners, a fridge, kettle, drinking water dispenser, and a microwave. The open-air terrace is furnished with a dining table for four, two planter chairs and a coffee table.

Villa Jajaliluna (4 Bedrooms)

pristine — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:39:09 +0000

The symmetrical villa is comprised of three separate, self-contained pavilions positioned around a stunning swimming pool, adjacent to a flat green lawn within a walled courtyard garden. The main 2-storey pavilion houses the living room, together with a breezy upstairs mezzanine and balcony, and four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. There is also a family lounge, which doubles as a yoga pavilion, and an elegant dining pavilion. Taking advantage of the villa’s tropical location, all of the rooms boast large teakwood-framed glass doors that can be pocketed away to allow the cool breezes to circulate, thereby ensuring that guests can enjoy the full impact of the surroundings while sheltered from the elements. With its spacious and luxurious atmosphere, Villa Jaja-Liluna is ideally suited for families and small groups of discerning people who want to experience the best of Bali.

Location

The 4-bedroom Villa Jaja-Liluna is a peaceful oasis, nestled in the heart of the fashionable Oberoi area on Bali’s south-western coast. Twenty-five minutes’ drive from the international airport, and convenient for all of the main shops, tourist attractions and vibrant nightspots, the villa is just 100 metres from the magnificent Seminyak beach, renowned for its world-class surf breaks, panoramic coastline views and legendary sunsets. A wide choice of world-renowned fine dining restaurants, including the famous KuDeTa, Hu’u, Living Room, and La Lucciola are all within a five-minute walking distance. The ideal location is also within walking distance of an eclectic collection of designer boutiques. Guests at Villa Jaja-Liluna will be eligible for complimentary membership of The Canggu Club throughout the duration of their stay. Located about fifteen minutes’ drive from the villa, this is Bali’s first and only international private members’ club; offering sports, social and leisure facilities, including a state-of-the art gym, a 25-metre swimming pool and a tennis & squash centre.

Architecture

Designed by the internationally-acclaimed, Bali-based, Glen Parker of ‘Glen Parker Architects’, in collaboration with the owners who spend much of their time at the property, Villa Jaja-Liluna is a masterpiece that blends the very best of modern Balinese architectural elements with elegant finishes and superior amenities. The architecture of the villa utilises local materials including ironwood shingles for the roof, creamy white Palimanan stone, Bengkirai wood floors, cream terrazzo, white pebbled pathways and decorative pebbled borders. The fresh white walls and furnishings, the warm brown of the teakwood frames, and the cool aquamarine and cobalt blue of the ceramic pool tiles, form the dominant colours, juxtaposed against the greenery of Bali’s exotic plants. The style is based on the concept of the traditional Balinese family compound with a separate building or ‘bale’ for each function, and a licence to amend the purpose of each in accordance with the comforts of modern living. Recessed lighting creates a romantic ambience at night.

Entrance, garden and swimming pool

A snaking pathway leads from a spacious car parking area to the main entrance marked by an unusual pivot door. Visitors will then traverse an ornamental pond flanked by twin palm trees and firebowls. Water plays a central and important role in the agriculturally-based culture of Bali, and this has been reflected in the layout of the property. A stunning swimming pool has been designed to link the three pavilions. The pool flows with the living design and joins everything together, coming right up to the edge of the rooms to create an intimate connection between each pavilion. A timber sundeck extends from the main living area, and Palimanan stone sun terraces are situated opposite each other on either side of the pool. One terrace is furnished with sun-loungers and umbrellas, the other with a barbeque and a large table with bench seats for alfresco dining. Additional shade is provided by two twisting frangipani trees; during the day these sweet-scented flowering trees cast cool shadows, while at night they appear to dance on the shimmering water of the pool.

Living and Sleeping Pavilion

The symmetrical living and sleeping pavilion is a 2-storey building. The downstairs living room opens directly onto the timber deck bordering the pool. Graced with lazy chairs and deeply cushioned sofas, the white colour theme is broken by the occasional splash of colour and a fine collection of antique framed prints on the walls. This carefully crafted room, with its cool terrazzo floor, easily earns its place as the nexus of the property, and is ideal for entertaining and relaxing. The doors at each end open fully to create a moving air flow, while exposing a sparkling water cascade bounded by a hedge of young bamboo at the back. A guest powder-room, with toilet and washbasin, is located to one side of the water cascade. Big circular cushioned cane chairs rest upon the pool deck at the front underneath a Sunbrella canopy, which provides shelter and shade and is reminiscent of the sails of a boat. A Palimanan staircase leads up to a timber floored mezzanine, another breezy living space furnished with a large daybed and a plasma wide-screen satellite TV and DVD player. This area is fitted with doors that open completely onto a balcony running the length of the pavilion, overhanging the garden. The balcony is also accessed from each of the upstairs bedrooms. Large picture windows on the stair landing overlook the neighbouring rice fields. The main living area and upstairs mezzanine face directly west. Due to the close proximity of the beach, the skyline is uncluttered, presenting great views of the Balinese sunsets complete with the palm trees silhouetted against red and purple skies.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

All four air-conditioned bedrooms, with their en-suite bathrooms and cream terrazzo floors, are the same size and shape; two are located downstairs and two are located upstairs, mirror images of each other in keeping with the perfect symmetry. Three of the bedrooms are furnished with king size beds with diaphanous white drapes. The fourth bedroom, upstairs, is fitted out as a children’s room, designed to sleep four kids in bunk beds. Each bedroom is complemented by fitted white louvre wardrobes, white storage units and white curtains. Each en-suite bathroom is entered through an Asian-influenced sliding frosted-glass door, designed to let the light through. All of the bathrooms feature grey streaked marble topped vanity units, huge wall mirrors, ceramic washbowls, toilets, and sizeable glass shower cubicles with powerful rainshowers. One of the upstairs bathrooms features “his & hers” washbasins, while one of the downstairs bathrooms boasts a bathtub, bordered by mosaic tiles in shades of brown and beige. The doors from this downstairs bathroom open into a private walled garden area with an outdoor rainshower, complete with mosaic tiled splashback and washbasin.

Lounge Pavilion

The single-storey lounge pavilion is a square building characterised by a Bengkirai wood floor bordered by Palimanan, underneath a soaring pitched roof displaying the neat rattan lining on the underside of the roof. The clever design allows guests to completely fold back the doors on three sides to create an open-air pavilion, cooled by natural breezes and ceiling fans. Bamboo blinds can be dropped for privacy and shade. Equipped with a satellite TV and DVD player, this family room is a cosy snug for reading or watching TV or movies, while also doubling as a yoga pavilion. One wall is fitted with white cupboards and shelf units stocked with books; this is flanked by twin alcoves, positioned opposite each other, each one showcasing a Buddha’s head resting upon a pedestal.

Dining Pavilion

The dining pavilion is the same shape and size as the lounge pavilion, complete with a Bengkirai wood floor and glass doors that can be completely folded back on three sides to create an open-air ambience, cooled by natural breezes and ceiling fans. The mood generated by the unique furnishing styles, however, is very different from that of the lounge pavilion. This elegant dining room is furnished with an attractive square dining table and eight chairs, together with a service counter.

Kitchen & Laundry

The fully-equipped kitchen, together with a laundry, is housed in the service area to one side of the property, leaving the remainder of the villa free to enjoy the environs of the garden and pool.

pristine — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:15:00 +0000

Garden, Pool, and Chill-out Areas

The entrance to the Zen-inspired property leads guests past an ornamental pond into a walled garden dominated by a 23-metre swimming pool, which is bordered by flat lawns punctuated with palms and frangipani trees. The spectacular pool extends the length of the garden and features a wide, deep channel for swimming laps, in addition to stepped levels that allow guests to sit, lounge or lie in the water without actually having to swim. Four poolside cabanas – actually modern translations of traditional Balinese ‘bale’ relaxation pavilions – appear to float upon the surface of the water. Each bale is fitted with a yielding mattress and sheltered from the sun by white roller blinds and a white Sunbrella canopy. Located in the centre, with two bales on either side, is a large bubbling, open-air Jacuzzi. Indeed, the theme of The Aqua is total relaxation, and everything has been designed around the comfort of the guests. Another restful seating area can be found at one end of the pool, where an external staircase leads to the sunny rooftop level.

It is furnished with large upholstered sofas and corner units, a coffee table and built-in shelving. A black terrazzo and teakwood bar is positioned at one end, adjacent to a guest washroom. Mirrored detailing adorns the white walls, lights are recessed into the ceiling, and there is plenty of floor space for dancing. With no fear of disturbing the neighbours, this room presents a wonderful party facility and can comfortably accommodate 20-30 guests.

Kitchen

The modern and compact, fully-equipped kitchen is located out of sight at the rear of the property, yet close to the dining pavilion for ease of service. It contains all of the facilities that the staff require for the preparation of delicious meals, innovative buffets, and party snacks.

Bedrooms

Each of the four air-conditioned bedrooms is accessed by floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, and each is furnished with a queen-size bed and built-in bedside cabinets, funky lamps, white wardrobes and drawers. Two of the bedrooms are located on ground level and two are located on the rooftop level. Embracing fresh white walls, cool creamy-white terrazzo floors, soft grey and white furnishings, and an abundance of space and natural light, the urban chic decor is a study in progressive minimalism. Each bedroom is linked to its own spacious bathroom, fitted with a large terrazzo soaking tub, twin washbasins, and a glass frosted cubicle housing a toilet and an indoor rain shower. Additionally, three of the bedrooms incorporate an open-air, garden rainshower; each shower is centrally positioned between the bedroom and the bathroom and is accessed on either side by clear glass doors. Each bedroom is equipped with a safe deposit box, a Bose iPod sound dock, and ceiling fans in addition to the hidden air-conditioning units. There is a satellite TV connection in three of the bedrooms, and a TV can be provided upon request.

In this peaceful, elevated spot, guests will feel on top of the world.

It is close to the well-known Oberoi and Legian Hotels, twenty minutes’ drive from the airport, and convenient for all of Bali’s main shops, shopping malls, tourist attractions and vibrant nightspots.
