The ultra avant-garde, four-bedroom villa known as 'Aqua'
is located in the heart of Bali’s fashionable Oberoi area,
just footsteps away from Seminyak’s sweeping beach, vibrant
night scene, world-class restaurants and chic boutiques.
Taking an inspirational approach to modern lifestyle, the
villa is constructed on two levels and set within a large
walled garden. It presents a 23-metre swimming pool, outdoor
Jacuzzi, steam room, alfresco dining facilities and soundproof
party room, in addition to four spacious bedrooms with
queen-size beds and en-suite bathrooms. There is a secure
carport at the main entrance. Boasting funky tropical
architecture, exemplified by an abundance of space, natural
light and places to chill, Aqua was completed in 2007 and
constructed of local materials. It was designed by ‘Gfab’, a
well-respected, international, architectural company with an
impressive portfolio of aesthetically beautiful villas,
resorts and boutique hotels in Australia, Southeast Asia and
Spain. A party villa for relaxation and play, Aqua offers a
captivating blend of luxury, recreation, party facilities,
privacy, and exemplary service.
Dining Pavilion
The dining pavilion is furnished with a sleek black
lacquered dining table for eight, positioned within an open
air pavilion sheltered by a roof with a wooden ceiling and
pendulous paddle fans. The pavilion features a bar and service
area, offering a delightful alfresco dining experience.
Sunken Lounge
The open-air sunken lounge is located adjacent to the
dining pavilion, and is an attractive space to enjoy
pre-dinner cocktails or after-dinner coffee and liqueurs.
Softly cushioned seating is arranged around three sides of a
cosy nook, complete with a black terrazzo floor.
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.
Barbeque
A black terrazzo outdoor buffet table complete with
barbeque grill, offers a facility for alfresco party dining.
Steam Room
The large walk-in steam room is located in one corner of
the garden. Big enough to accommodate four people, it features
a frosted glass door, bench seating, a non-slip white granite
floor, and creamy-white Palimanan stone walls extending into a
arched ceiling.
Party Room
Accessed from the garden via solid sliding wood doors, the
soundproofed party room is ultra private, spacious, windowless
and cool. The air-conditioned room is equipped with ceiling
fans and a wall-mounted, 39-inch, LCD flat screen satellite
TV, together with a DVD player and a quality sound system with
surround sound speakers positioned on the ceiling. 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 rainshower. 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.
Rooftop terrace and sundeck
On the rooftop level, fringed by pink flowering
bougainvillea, a large open-air terrace is fitted with a huge
2 x 4-metre daybed, which is sheltered by a pergola dripping
in red passionflowers. An open-air walkway winds around this
upper level, girded by a glass wall and backed in places by
banded wooden screens, with daybeds located at various
intervals. A sunny timber deck, with a shallow ornamental pond
on three sides, presents a great place for sunbathing with the
provision of four large sun-mattresses. In this peaceful,
elevated spot, guests will feel on top of the world.
Location
Aqua is located in the very centre of what is now
considered to be the Seminyak ‘Prime District’ – a safe,
upmarket neighbourhood that is home to some of the classiest
properties on the island. 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. The villa is just
a few minutes walk from a wide choice of internationally
acclaimed restaurants, including the famous Ku Dé Ta, La
Lucciola, Living Room and Hu’u Bar. It is also within walking
distance of a varied collection of chic designer boutiques,
and just 300 metres from the sweeping Oberoi Beach, renowned
for its world-class surf breaks, panoramic coastline views and
legendary sunsets. Easily accessible sporting amenities
include a choice of spectacular championship golf courses,
tennis, horseback riding, dive schools, sailing cruises and
much more.
