Villa Samudra Description
This absolute beachfront villa is characterised
by a large 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 Samudra also boasts a
14 x 4 metre lap pool, which is 1.8 metres in depth and lined
with green Java stone. A massage pavilion rests at one end of
the pool and a 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 Samudra’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 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, one with queen
size bed and the other one with twin bed, other facilities 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
The recent construction of the Sanur-Kusamba
by-pass road has made this area accessible to the rest of the
island and positions Villa Samudra within easy driving distance
of most of Bali’s tourist attractions. Villa Samudra 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 Samudra, 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 Samudra can look forward to experiencing
unrivalled service within the calm tranquility that is the true
essence of Bali.
