Indonesia Majapahit 2 | Urbane Nomads

Overview

Located right on a beachfront unique to Bali, with volcanic black sand and a wholly relaxing atmosphere, this villa boasts contemporary architecture influenced by the Balinese Hindu philosophy, and incorporating local materials such as white Palimanan stone, antique doors framed with dark volcanic rock, local artwork on the walls, a Merbau wood floor, and woven rattan-woodskin mats, into luxuriously fine finishings.

Extending from a lush tropical garden, one can access a private 14-meter long beachside buff with timber decking, and from there, enjoy an unhindered, spectacular view of the ocean and out to Lembogan Island, as well as the immense and mysterious cliffs of Nusa Penida. Tall and lofty coconut palms wave in the sea breeze overhead, creating that ultimate feeling of cozy, languid tranquility.

In the garden, guests can admire a beautiful lotus pond, and a 16-meter by 4-meter lap pool, 1.8m deep and paved with traditional green Java stone. After an invigorating swim, one can always adjourn to the comfortably large bale bengong (the relaxation pavilion), or perhaps request the use of the subtly-small spa beside the bale. Outdoor shower facilities and poolside lounges are also present, and interspersed with all these modern-conveniences are aged stone carvings, intricately-designed terracotta wall panels, fragrant frangipani trees, and the typical coastal greenery.

Beach-living at its best, the villa’s dining and sitting areas boast a semi-open concept by the swimming pool, furnished with bamboo blinds and ventilated by sweeping ceiling fans. Within the living area, a warm and bubbly Jacuzzi sits, blending into the pool by way of an attractive waterfall feature. A hi-fi system with surround-sound guarantees that guests will be able to enjoy their entertainment fully, and wireless high-speed Internet means that as and when needed, one can remain fully connected to the outside world. The most distinctive feature of this living space is the winding, floating stairway, built from tastefully-patterned wood and supported by 8 columns. The dining table seats six, and is set beside another lotus pond easily accessible (as for an after-dinner walk) by stepping stones that curve a path through the courtyard to the kitchen, at first hard-to-glimpse due to the artful placement of a row of wide stone pillars.

The master bedroom takes up the entire second floor of the villa, and is decadently-furnished with top quality linens and a Chinese silk bedcover. Embroidered drapes hang from the windows, leading to a timber balcony deck beyond, from which one can be awed by the magnificent view of the horizon. Two other bedrooms downstairs are identically furnished with a personal terrace, glass doors and fly screens. All bedrooms are en-suite, and allow for the use of a unique black terrazzo bathtub as well as a spacious washing and dressing area.
