			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The quiet traditional village of Sebali, home to Villa Vajra, is a one hour drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport. From Sebali new road winding through tiny villages, river valleys and panoramic views of Bali’s emblematic rice fields leads to the town of Ubud. As Bali is renowned for its arts and culture, Ubud is its artistic hub. Each of the surrounding villages specializes in one of the native arts of traditional or contemporary painting, wood or stone carving, delicately modeled silver and other jewelry, batik textiles, and furniture making. Ubud’s museums showcase the island’s rich history and the numerous art galleries, shops and market stalls sell handicrafts, paintings, wood carvings &#038;c. It is also a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the Kecak, Fire, Monkey, and Legong dances delicately performed and elaborately costumed in their original temple settings.</p>
<p>The Villa is named Vajra. The Vajra is a Tibetan Buddhist ceremonial object; it is a symbol for the wisdom that cuts through ignorance, with the ultimate goal of compassion and equanimity. The Villa is designed to create an aura of peace and tranquility.</p>
<p>Vajra is located 300 metres above sea level in the foothills of the central mountain range; this gives it a fresher, more pleasant climate than the southern coastal regions. The location is also very convenient for tours all over the island and is only a forty-minute drive from the coast</p>
<p>Vajra Villa is comprised of several thatched pavillions joined by stepping stones across a magical lotus pond; a pergola covered by hanging thunbergia flowers; floating stairs that stand beside a cascading waterfall veiling a traditional seated Buddha. A comfortable lounge area rests beside the cooling swimming pool and warming jacuzzi. Stone stairs lead to a ‘moon’ garden of white flowers and an intimate deck for massage. On the next level is a traditional open-sided pavillion known as a ‘bale’ for rest, meditation, yoga practice or simply to absorb the exquisite natural beauty. Wide open to the elements is the cathedral sized living/dining area with it’s marble floor, aviary and orchid garden. Protective blinds are lowered when the weather requires. Each bedroom is equipped with telephone and distinguished by its furnishings, antique and contemporary art objects and unique view. Two of the bathrooms have large terrazzo bathtubs and are set in their own gardens.</p>
<p>Music, which can be heard throughout the grounds, is controlled from the comfortable library which overlooks the living room. It is the entertainment center, offering a growing library, games, music, television, and DVD movies.</p>
<p>The night lighting is particularly breathtaking.</p>
<p>The villa includes 3 full bedrooms, and a lounge which can be converted to sleep two persons (hence our description of the villa as containing “3.5 bedrooms”). Two of the bedrooms face the river valley, one faces the rice fields. To read full descriptions of each room, use the links on the left side of this page.</p>
<p>The total living area of the villa is 8,000 m2, and the total area of the ground is 18,867 m2.</p>
<p>The Master Bedroom, Guest Room, Studio and Study each feature individually controlled air-conditioning units and powerful ceiling fans to keep the rooms pleasantly cool. There are telephone lines for IDD calls and in-house calls in each room, and also safety deposit boxes. At night the villa takes on a different persona, with cleverly concealed lighting. Guests will appreciate the fresh cool air, and will be serenaded by a chorus of frog song to the accompaniment of ritual music from the village temples and the constant murmur of the river.</p>
<p>There is a barbeque terrace at the front of the villa beside the rice fields and parking space for up to six vehicles. Due to the steep hillside elevation, the villa is not recommended for disabled people or young children.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Villa Atas Awan is a serene complex of two magnificent wooden houses separated by a stunning 30 meter swimming pool. The houses, perched on a hillside among rice paddies 20 minutes north of Ubud, provide grand vistas of Bali&#8217;s central mountain range. The expansive gardens, pool decks and open sitting areas on the first and second floors of the house provide wonderful spaces for outdoor living.</p>
<p>The houses, which are over 100 years old, were transported from Java and reconstructed on former rice paddies on the edge of a small village. The only sounds heard at Villa Atas Awan are those of nature; birds, insects and the occasional crow of a rooster. After a day relaxing in the peace and serenity of Villa Atas Awan a trip to the small, artistic town of Ubud feels like a visit to a bustling city.</p>
<p>Ubud, which is reached by driving through small villages and picturesque rice paddies , is Baliâ€™s artistic capital. All manner of artist, whether working in stone, paint, wood or ceramic is located in Ubud. The town boasts arts galleries, shops, a wide variety of restaurants as well as cultural shows, bookstores and supermarkets. Ubud is approximately 75 minutes from Bali&#8217;s international airport.</p>
<p>The houses, which were built by two brothers, reflect their love of outdoor living and Balinese art. In total there are seven bedrooms that can easily accommodate 14 or more people. The complex is ideal for groups whether they be families, seminars, yoga retreats or other groups. The 30 meter pool is perfect for relaxing or for those who like more strenuous exercise such as swimming laps. The house has 4 full time staff with a driver on call. Villa Atas Awan is ably managed by Miss Rita Dewi and her staff at Red Lotus Bali. The Red Lotus staffs, including the house manager at Villa Atas Awan, are all fluent English speakers.</p>
<p>Our staff will provide you with daily breakfast, keep the house clean and comfortable and provide you with suggestions and information to make your stay more enjoyable. Our guess is that after a day or two at Villa Atas Awan you will not want to leave the peace and tranquility of this wonderful complex.</p>
<h3 class="int"><a name="villa">Accommodation</a></h3>
<p>One enters Villa Atas Awan through the outer courtyard which is graced with a beautiful fountain, pond and Balinese statues. Climbing the stairs through double Balinese doors the first sight is of another tranquil fountain surrounded by a plethora of tropical plants. A path leads left to Villa Atas and left to Villa Awan.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Villa Leha-Leha takes its name from the Javanese word for peace, day-dreaming, relaxing, or being empty-minded while lying prostrate and gazing at the sky! It’s an appropriate title for this enchanting four bedroom retreat, complete with swimming pool and plunge pools, nestled on the edge of a steep sided valley through which Bali’s sacred Ayung River wends it way on the final stage of its journey to the sea.</p>
<h3 class="int"><a name="villa">Living Pavilion</a></h3>
<p>The large two-storey living pavilion incorporates two living areas on two different levels.<br />
The downstairs open-sided living room is encompassed by fish ponds and a timber deck. This breezy raised pavilion presides over the pool and garden and its marble floor is gracefully furnished with an Oriental rug, lazy chairs, sofa, standard lamp and a coffee table. A 42-inch, flat screen, multi-channel TV, DVD, CD player and radio stereo system is discretely housed within a wooden cabinet, and there is also a comprehensive collection of videos, books and games. The decor is enhanced by some colorful local artwork and artifacts; a ceiling fan helps to keep the area cool and blinds can be dropped for privacy.</p>
<p>A guest washroom is located downstairs, just off the living room</p>
<p>The upstairs lounge is accessed from the dining room, via a sliding door that leads onto a Palimanan stone staircase. This peaceful lounge is another wonderful, breezy open-air space. It features a teakwood floor under a soaring thatched roof, and is furnished with wide opium daybeds, a pair of leather Kartini chairs and an Oriental rug. Boasting a splendid view of the garden and the river valley extending to the ocean, this is a great area for chilling out and relaxing with a book. Every need is considered with the additional provision of a ceiling fan.</p>
<h3 class="int"><a name="villa">Work Room</a></h3>
<p>An all-glass Cathedral window extends from the roof to the ground floor, and separates the upstairs lounge from the air-conditioned work room. This delightful study presents a teak desk with a computer and internet access for the use of the guests. An eye-catching painting adorns one wall, and a long Oriental rug rests on the warm timber floor, together with leather-upholstered Kartini chairs and a bookcase full of magazines. To one side of the work room is an open-air stone terrace surrounded by a balustrade.</p>
<h3 class="int"><a name="villa">Dining Room</a></h3>
<p>The air-conditioned dining room is linked to the downstairs Living Room by two sets of Palimanan stone steps. With a marble floor, and large glass sliding doors on three sides, the room has an open feeling; it is furnished with a dining table for eight, and fitted with a glass-fronted teak cabinet.</p>
<h3 class="int"><a name="villa">Kitchen</a></h3>
<p>The small but well-equipped air-conditioned kitchen is conveniently positioned next to the dining room. It features a marble service counter, marble work tops and teakwood wall cabinets. On the far side of the kitchen is an attractive water court, with large stepping stones across the fish pond. Carved water-spouting griffins create a serene ambiance with the constant sound of running water.</p>
<h3 class="int"><a name="villa">Bedrooms</a></h3>
<p>Villa Leha-Leha is equipped with four self-contained bedroom suites, each located in private thatched pavilions and each one linked to its own indoor bathroom and private outdoor shower. Two of the bedrooms boast private plunge pools, and two are supplied with music systems. Each marble-floored, air-conditioned bedroom is furnished with a queen-size four poster canopied bed, a chair, bedside tables and lamps, while bold local artwork adorns the walls. Dressing areas, with fitted cupboards and walls mirrors, lead into marble bathrooms each complete with twin washbasins, a bathtub, an indoor shower and a toilet hidden behind a teak door. Each bathtub is positioned beside a picture window with doors opening into a small private walled garden. These doors can be opened to create an alfresco bathing experience, and there is also an open-air shower in each of the private gardens.<br />
A fifth bedroom (without en-suite bathroom), furnished with up to four extra single beds, is ideal for children.</p>
<h3 class="int"><a name="villa">Garden and Swimming Pool</a></h3>
<p>The beautiful landscaped gardens of Villa Leha-Leha are planted with sweet scented flowering shrubs and tropical trees. The free form, infinity-edge swimming pool overhangs the river valley and is flanked by a stone pool deck. At one end of the pool are some sunken stone bar stools flanking a pool bar with an attractive ironwood shingle roof.</p>
<h3 class="int"><a name="villa">Location</a></h3>
<p>Quiet and safe, Villa Leha-Leha is ideally situated in a rural setting five minutes from Sindhu Beach and the historical village of Sanur. The nearby Sanur-Kusumba by-pass, which extends from Seminyak to East Bali, positions the villa within easy driving distance of most of Bali’s tourist attractions. The diversity of Bali presents everything from diving, cruising and trekking, to adventure sports and theme parks. Horse riding takes place just a few kilometers away at Saba stables, and three of the best golf courses in the world are located within easy driving distance. The villa is just twenty-five minutes’ drive from Bali’s international airport, forty minutes from the cultural town of Ubud, fifteen minutes from Sukawati art and handicraft market, and conveniently close to the Island’s numerous spas, shops, restaurants and vibrant nightspots</p>
