CLICK HERE to get to the updated information about Villa Samudra
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.
Accommodation
Living Area
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.
Dining Area
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.
Master Bedroom
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.
Guest Bedrooms
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.
