Welcome, a small relaxing piece of paradise at the south-west coast of Bali, close to the new trendy hotspots of Seminyak. Lounging in the blue hour with a view of the sea as the pool glimmers in harmony with the ocean. Slowly the sun sets, reflecting its brilliance in the spray of the whitecaps. The sky changes color; bizarre figures emerge, orange and gold, luminescent pink melting into copper. The glowing red ball of the sun, immense and seemingly close enough to touch, hovers for a breath over an equally huge black rock -- as if the sun would fit inside it -- until it sinks into the golden water. This is the evening drama from a lounge chair at vilas’s swimming pool. The ever-changing spectacle brings us together every evening to enjoy a drink and gaze in awe.
What makes the villa so different is its privacy and a non-commercial atmosphere that never sacrifices professionalism. As you arrive and the doors shut behind you, a row of Buddhist stone figures form a guard of honor.
The path gently winds down, over a small bridge, past flowers and fountains to the villa. There is an ensemble of four very different small villas on the property, openly designed and sensitively furnished.
Villa sits on a rise, separated from the sea by a strip of beach, with a view of the majestic rock formation in the water where the sun goes down.
An ancient temple appears on the left of the rock.
The architecture of the villa is classic Balinese, spacious with deep wood tones. The houses are arranged on the property with sure intuition: none blocks another’s view of the sea. Each has its own style, atmosphere and function:
Canggu Bali, You can sense that this is a place of privilege before you even arrive. The way from the airport to villa goes past restaurants and shops, through avenues and streets packed with chic young people on Vespas.
A couple of minutes later comes the turnoff and the landscape changes to bright green rice fields. Suddenly the view opens up and before you lies the sea and rock formations. Curving to the right is the beginning of a small, private coastal road. In a moment a beautiful ancient temple set on a spur of rock in the ocean comes into view.
And there is villa, right out of a storybook, a glimpse of paradise.
You are 45 minutes away from the airport by car, 20 minutes away from the best restaurants and the beach where you will find the coolest bars in Bali.
The driver will take you when and where ever you want to go.
