Villa
Raj - Sea View
This
beach-view two-storey villa is characterized by a walled
garden featuring a 14 x 4 meter lap pool, which is 1.8 meters
in depth and lined with green Java stone. A massage pavilion
rests at one end of the pool and a balé bengong (relaxation
pavilion) is located in one corner of the garden, together
with an outdoor shower, sun-loungers, timeworn stone-carvings,
terracotta carved wall panels, palms, sweet scented frangipani
trees and coastal shrubs and plants.
A walled pathway leads from the garden to a
sliding door, which provides access to a 13-metre, beachside
buff with timber decking and wooden steps leading down to the
beach. This area is shared between guests staying at Villa Raj
and the next-door Villa Nataraja. This is the place to chill
out beneath the tall coconut palms and gaze at the graceful
kites scattered throughout the sky, or watch both the sunrise
and the sunset create a warm pink glow across the mysterious,
towering, sea-cliffs of Nusa Penida Island.
The semi-open air living and dining area at
Villa Raj borders the swimming pool. Open at each end,
equipped with bamboo blinds and cooled by ceiling fans, this
is tropical living at its very best. A Jacuzzi extends into
the living space and overflows into the pool creating an
attractive waterfall feature. Hi-fi system with surround sound
is provided for the entertainment of the guests, and wireless
high speed Internet access allows guests to send and receive
their e-mails inside the villa or beside the pool, in the
garden or on the beach. The contemporary furniture is set off
by a myriad of textures from smooth white Palimanan stone to
carved antique doors framed by dark grey volcanic rock.
Impressive local artwork adorns the walls,
harmonized with primitive artifacts. A rustic coffee table,
and comfortable sofas and chairs, are complemented by richly
colored silk cushions, together with a woven rattan and
wood-skin mat resting upon the Merbau wood floor. A striking
feature is the curved floating staircase, fashioned in richly
patterned wood and supported by eight columns. The open plan
dining area is furnishing with a table for six and overlooks a
lotus pond. The pond is traversed by stepping stones that lead
through a pebbled courtyard to the fully equipped service
kitchen where the staff will prepare delicious meals. Every
need of the guests has been considered, and a particularly
thoughtful touch is the provision of a barbeque. A series of
wide stone pillars create a partition, for privacy, between
the kitchen and the living and dining area.
The air-conditioned master bedroom, complete
with en-suite bathroom and wide balcony, covers the whole of
the upper floor under a soaring pitched roof. A queen size bed
is made up with top quality linens and a red and black Chinese
silk bedcover. Rich drapes frame the windows, local paras
stone bricks form a wall behind the bed, old photographs
enhance the decor, and a wooden cabinet houses a satellite TV,
DVD and CD player. Glass doors and fly screens open out onto a
timber balcony deck commanding breathtaking views of the
coastline and ocean. The en-suite bathroom comprises two
mirrored dressing rooms with ample storage space, together
with two separate washing areas linked by a covered balcony
walkway. This clever design allows the dressing rooms and
bathroom to be accessed by two different doors from the
bedroom, and the walkway is enclosed with fretwork wooden
walls, which allow the cool breezes to permeate. One of the
grey terrazzo-floored bathroom areas features a black terrazzo
corner bathtub and twin washbasins. The other area features a
shower, toilet and washbasin.
The two remaining air-conditioned bedrooms
are located downstairs and are mirror images of each other,
each with en-suite bathroom, satellite TV, DVD and CD player.
Glass doors and fly screens in each room open onto a personal
terrace furnished with daybeds, and a dressing area is located
behind the bed. Each garden bathroom features ‘his ‘n’ hers’
washbasins, toilet, and a black terrazzo sunken bathtub and
shower, bordered by plants, together with a three-tiered
running water feature, and a wall for privacy.
Location
Villa Raj located at Banjar Pabean, Ketewel
Village, Gianyar Regency, the recent construction of the
Sanur-Kusumba by-pass, has made this area accessible to the
rest of the island and positions Villa Raj within easy driving
distance of most of Bali’s tourist attractions. Villa Raj is
.just forty-five minutes drive from Bali’s international
airport, thirty minutes from the cultural town of Ubud, ten
minutes from Sukawati art and handicraft market, ten minutes
from Sanur, and thirty minutes from the restaurants, shops and
nightlife of Kuta and Seminyak. Ketewel village is the origin
of the famous Legong Bededari Dance, and the neighboring
village of Saba produced the finest Legong dancers on the
island.
The beach of Pabean, in front of Majapahit
Beach Villas, was once a small port through which oriental
traders brought their products; at low tide you can still see
the structure of the old harbour and a Chinese cemetery is
located nearby. Balinese Hindu purification ceremonies are
held beside the ocean at the sacred Pura Segara sea temple,
and the nearby reef is renowned for its world class surf
breaks. Guests staying at Villa Raj can look forward to
experiencing unrivalled service within the calm tranquility
that is the true essence of Bali.
