Villa Maya Description
This absolute beachfront villa is characterised by a garden that
extends directly onto a private 14-metre beachside buff with
timber decking, towering coconut palms, and wooden steps leading
down to the beach. This is the place to chill out 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.
In addition to the wonderful
views, the garden of the two-storey Villa Maya also boasts a
lotus pond and a 14 x 4 metre lap pool, which is 1.8 metres in
depth and lined with green Java stone. A massage pavilion rests
next to bale bengong (relaxation pavilion) is also located in
the garden, together with an outdoor shower, sunloungers,
timeworn stone-carvings, terracotta carved wall panels, palms,
sweet scented frangipani trees and coastal shrubs and plants.
Villa Maya’s semi open-air
living and dining area 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. A 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 another 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.
Villa Maya
Location The recent
construction of the Sanur-Kusamba by-pass road has made this
area accessible to the rest of the island and positions Villa
Maya within easy driving distance of most of Bali’s tourist
attractions. Villa Maya 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 neighbouring village of Sawa produced the finest Legong
dancers on the island. The beach of Pabean, in front of Villa
Maya, 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 Maya can look forward to experiencing
unrivalled service within the calm tranquility that is the true
essence of Bali.
