Booking Villa Casa Michael

The formal Balinese architecture makes use of local materials, such as white Palimanan stone, teak wood and limestone, together with alang alang grass for the thatched roofs. The pavilions surrounding the main residence are modelled on the conventional Balinese ‘Wantilan’ (village meeting place), but the self-contained guest area, comprising the Bale Bundar and two rotunda gazebo bedrooms with thatched conical roofs, has an African influence.

Location

Bayuh Sabbha is situated on the Bukit Peninsula, fifty metres above sea level on the cliffs that overhang Bingin beach, the property commands heart-stopping, spectacular views of the ocean and the southern regions of Bali .

The location is 30 minutes from the International Airport, 20 minutes from the restaurants and 5 star hotels of Jimbaran and Nusa Dua, and 45 minutes from the Seminyak / Oberoi area.

With beach access, tennis courts, a full gym, and 2 swimming pools, many guests at the villa find they have no need to leave the environs. Nevertheless, a car and driver is available for your use during your stay.

Accommodation

The layout of the property utilises and divides space, maximising the cliff top frontage. A group of fifteen people could stay at the villa and still lose each other in its depths. The staff quarters, laundry, and the fully equipped kitchen are located at the back, leaving every room to enjoy the wonderful ocean view. Approached via a 600-metre cobbled pathway, visitors are greeted by a pair of antique doors set within a traditional Balinese gateway constructed of limestone and Bengkirai (Ironwood). Stepping stones wend across a beautiful water court; a lotus pond ablaze with pink and white blossoms. Tiny islands support sweet-scented frangipani trees punctuated by the distinctive pattern of lily pads; while gentle ripples originate from a soothing fountain beside clusters of noble bulrushes.

Facilities

The estate is completed with recreation facilities, which include a glass encompassed, self contained home-gym fully equipped with treadmills, a rowing machine and much more. An exciting children’s playground lies to one side, and the floodlit tennis court is situated near the main entrance to the property.

Booking Villa Moonlight

Khayangan Estate rests in blissful seclusion upon 1.5 hectares of prime, cliff top land, 170 metres above the rolling surf of the Indian Ocean on the southernmost tip of the island of Bali.

The Estate is located near the famous Uluwatu temple, and is immediately adjacent to the Bvlgari Hotel and Resort, overlooking Selonding Beach below.

Set in a magnificent tropical garden, the Estate comprises of a cluster of traditional, antique, wooden Javanese houses, known as ‘Joglos’, which have been collected by the owners of Khayangan and saved from destruction. The Joglos, with their distinctive funnel-shaped roofs, have been carefully grouped in a semi-circle, echoing the feeling of a traditional Javanese village. Each is blessed with stunning ocean views, while skilful landscaping enhances the ambience and adds to the privacy. The Estate currently provides luxury accommodation for up to six persons in three, self-contained, fully air-conditioned bedrooms, complete with en-suite bathrooms. The focal point of the property is the splendid, hand-carved, century-old Joglo that serves as the main living and dining room, situated beside a 12-metre swimming pool. There is also a business centre, a magnificent cliff top spa complex, known as the Seventh Heaven Spa, a cliff top pavilion, a tennis court and a well-equipped gym. Phase two of the project will introduce three more bedrooms and another pool.

Designed by Cheong Yew Kuan, one of Asia’s leading resort and luxury villa architects, in collaboration with the owners, the architecture blends Javanese tradition with contemporary design and European influences. The buildings incorporate an abundance of recycled teak wood in the form of floorboards, doors and elaborately-carved ‘pondopo’ centrepieces. This is complemented by ironwood shingle roofs and natural stone finishes. Some of the wall panels have been replaced with ceiling to floor glass, giving the buildings a contemporary feel, and allowing more natural light to enter.

The interiors reflect the travels and passions of the owners, who invite guests to share and celebrate the rich heritage of Indonesia through an eclectic collection of Indonesian antiques, artefacts and artwork. At Khayangan, tropical island living meets metropolitan convenience, with state-of-the-art entertainment and communication facilities, together with all the comforts and service you would expect from a luxury boutique hotel. Khayangan Estate takes its name from an ancient Sanskrit word, which could best be translated as ‘Seventh Heaven’.

Khayangan offers numerous relaxation areas, so guests will always find a private spot for peace and quiet. In fact, a large family or group of people could stay at the Estate and still lose each other within its depths. Cool sea breezes and the rhythmic sound of the waves combine to create a close to nature experience.

Living & Dining Pavilion

Serenaded by the tranquil sound of water, guests will traverse an ornamental pond before entering the living and dining pavilion. This is the largest of the time-honoured teakwood Joglos, created over 100 years ago in Central Java in an area where skilled artisans have developed the art of carving wood to the highest degree of refinement. The Joglo’s most striking feature is its towering core of four intricately and exquisitely carved pillars, showcasing traditional patterns and flowers. Destined to be demolished, this wonderful old building was saved and carefully transplanted to Bali to create the heart and social hub of Khayangan Estate.

This expansive, air-conditioned living and dining area embraces the spectacular view with the incorporation of glass walls on two sides. It has been furnished with large sofas and chairs, a coffee table, a dresser and a rustic dining table for twelve, all custom-made from antique wood. White drapes fall between the central pillars, recycled floorboards are scattered with rugs, and the muted colour theme follows the natural hue of the timber. Antique statues and carvings from the islands of East Nusa Tenggara have been fondly placed in well-lit settings that show them off to their best advantage. Funky wrought iron lamps and lanterns, designed by the owners, channel a soft light by night, creating a romantic ambience. A large, flat screen, satellite TV, DVD and quality sound system is provided for guests’ entertainment. To the rear is a separate, fully-fitted, modern kitchen.

Bedrooms

The master bedroom and guest rooms are housed within three, separate, self-contained Joglos, complete with en-suite bathrooms, wide verandahs, and lovely views of the ocean, the garden, the pool, and the social centre of the Estate. The authentic-style is elegant and enchanting. Each Joglo is air-conditioned and furnished with fitted wardrobes, seating, mirrors and lamps. Each boasts a king-size four-poster bed, built into the beams within the central funnel of the roof. Soft muslin drapes are clutched within simple tiebacks. Paintings, local textiles and ikat cushions create a personal touch. Each bedroom is equipped with a mini bar/fridge, safe, satellite TV, stereo system and telephone as well as wi-fi internet access.

Each luxurious en-suite bathroom is characterised by unique features. Each is equipped with air-conditioning, an all-embracing rainshower, a splendidly appointed bathtub, a toilet, single or twin washbasins, large mirrors, and the thoughtful provision of cushioned bench seats.

Master Bedroom & Bathroom

The master bedroom is particularly spacious, and enhanced with the added feature of a bay window and curved window seat, a wall of fitted wardrobes, a desk, an armchair, and a 39-inch flat screen plasma TV with satellite TV.

The sumptuous, air-conditioned en-suite bathroom is a study in symmetry, equipped with large mirrors and ‘his and hers’ washbasins resting upon separate wooden vanity units within two distinct areas. A toilet, together with a bidet, is discretely positioned at one end, while a walk-in rainshower with a pebbled splashback is situated at the other end. The pièce de résistance, however, can be found on the far side of an external glass door. Here, in a beautiful private water-garden, and accessed by stepping stones, a dreamy oversized bathtub, complete with an overhead canopy, appears to be floating in a gin clear ornamental pond. In the far corner of the pond is a ‘floating’, open-sided relaxation pavilion, sheltered by a roof and furnished with a built-in sofa and cushions. The serene picture is completed with an ancient frangipani tree, staghorn and bird’s nest ferns, and a cascading waterfall.

Business Centre

The air-conditioned business centre is a rare, two-storey timber Javanese house that has been transformed into a private office or work space, with a small, open-air meeting area upstairs. This enchanting building represents a bygone era with its raised, wrap-around verandah, and two-tiered roof. It features large glass windows, and has been lovingly furnished with an antique desk, chair, bookshelves, cupboards and a kilim rug. It is well-equipped with a computer, a multi-function printer, scanner and photocopier, and free Broadband Wifi Internet, which can be accessed all over the Estate. An external staircase leads up to the breezy meeting or relaxation area, furnished with a marble-topped table and chairs. Guests’ needs are further considered with the provision of a washroom.

Cliff top Pavilion

A large open-sided relaxation gazebo, fitted with cushioned seating, rests on the clifftop beside a freshwater Jacuzzi with a chiller. The pool is flanked by a timber deck furnished with canopied chairs.

Seventh Heaven Spa

The architecture of the clifftop spa blends rusticity and glamour. Landscaped into the cliff, with a flat roof supporting a grassy lawn, it is built directly into the rock. The fully-equipped, air-conditioned spa with its glass-fronted curved façade, presents a Vichy shower, hot tub, steam room, massage tables, manicure and pedicure facilities, and a cave-like room for scrubs and water treatments. Overlooking the ocean and the beach, it is also a great spot for meditation. The spa menu offers a full range of massage, beauty treatments and therapies, such as the Ocean Bath, Flower Bath and Aromatherapy Bath, as well as a Cucumber Wrap for sunburnt skin.

Gardens and Pool

The gorgeous landscaped gardens of Khayangan Estate present a very natural feel. Pathways are paved with timber and bordered by dense beds of tall, gently swaying yellow irises. Immaculate lawns are punctuated with palms and other carefully selected native plants and trees, such as bougainvillea, frangipanis and climbers, to provide a balance of fragrance, colour and shade.

The infinity-edge, swimming pool is located in front of the main living and dining area. Shaded by coconut palms and frangipani, and lined with natural stone, the pool appears to flow over the edge of the cliff. The timber pool deck is furnished with canopied sunbeds, while a barbeque and pizza oven is positioned nearby, making alfresco dining easy and fun.

Sports Facilities

The tennis court and a fully-equipped gym are located near the entrance to the Estate.

The tennis court has a covered spectator/viewing pavilion with benches and antique “gerobok” (rice storage trunks on wheels) with cushions.

The gymnasium is fully air-conditioned, and includes a full selection of machines, as well as a stereo system, satellite TV, fridge and cold water dispenser.

Weddings and Parties

Khayangan Estate presents the perfect setting for weddings, parties and other special events. The extensive lawns are also ideal for open-air Balinese dance performances and parties. The catering can be managed by professional caterers who have the world-class expertise to prepare a sumptuous feast in addition to the coordination of decorations, flowers, lighting and entertainment.

Services

The Estate is supported by a carefully selected team of highly trained staff including chefs, housekeepers, gardeners and security guards.

Baby-sitting services, together with the facilities of a car, a driver, a tour guide and extra staff are also available on request.

Booking Villa Khayangan Estate

The Istana is located on southwestern tip of Bali in an area named the Bukit. This one and a half acre property perched high atop dramatic cliffs, is more a palace than a villa, with cathedral ceilings, rich teakwood interiors, Thai silk bedding, Lotus water gardens and two swimming pools. Located in Uluwatu, featuring five bedroom suites and a thirty-two meter swimming pool facing west onto the pacific ocean, The Istana sets new standards for private luxury villas in Bali.

The overall style is a medley between understated modern architecture and traditional Indonesian detailing, with features that blend Indonesian materials and workmanship. The artwork represents a mixture of primitive art and antiques originating from Indonesia, keeping with the aura of tradition and style.

Set back forty meters from the cliff face, The Istana sits within a tremendous gated property and is composed of two swimming pools, a relaxation bale, a private guest house (containing the master bedroom), and a main house. Within the main house is a living room, dining room, entertainment room (known as the Dotcom room), and four identical bedroom suites.

The Istana Bedrooms
This five bedroom estate overlooks white sand beaches and a blue lagoon abundant with fish and living coral, and offers a prime location from which to witness the island’s stunning sunsets.

The Master Bedroom is located within the guesthouse, which is separate from and slightly more elevated than, the main building, and set back so as to offer complete privacy. It has its own entrance way, parking facilities, and private swimming pool. The L-shaped pool is two and a half meters deep and is faced with a black volcanic stone. It has its own outdoor shower and lounge chairs.

The other four bedrooms are located down open corridors, two of which lead past the dining room facing the ocean, and two of which lead past the Dotcom room. Each suite entry is decorated with carved limestone blocks representing traditional Ikat weavings from the islands of Flores and Sumba.

Each of the four matching suites is comprised of a bedroom with a capacious walk-in closet, and indoor and outdoor Bali-style bathrooms. All of the bedroom walls are faced with timber paneling to mid-height with white sand wash on top, leading up to the high cathedral timber-lined ceilings with ceiling fans, and air-conditioning.

The Istana Living and Dining Area
The Living Room is located at the center of the building, and the rich teak wood floors are accented by the eight-meter high, self-supported, exposed cathedral ceiling. Matching natural wood wardrobes, and a stunning U-shaped sofa bed surrounding a matching table enable the d?cor to maintain a natural cozy interior, and a large white limestone carving, depicting the legendary establishment of Uluwatu, accents the right wall.

The Dotcom Room is an enclosed air-conditioned space, which can be opened up if desired to overlook both the front and back of the estate. Dominating the room is a massive relaxation couch, which easily seats the capacity of the house, covered in Thai silk pillows, which faces the wide-screen projection TV and entertainment centre. Alcoves in the back feature desks and internet access, providing a convenient place to catch up with the outside world.

The impressive dining room table consists of one solid slab of teakwood, and easily seats ten. This air-conditioned area is enclosed by four sets of swinging glass doors that can be opened if desired, and overlooks the lily gardens to one side, and the expanse of the ocean to the other. The specially designed lighting fixtures in the dining room offer an intimate atmosphere, complimented by the meditative sounds of the water feature in the garden.

The Istana Garden
Lotus water gardens flank the streamlined covered wooden walkway leading from the entrance into the main house, forming a straight line of sight leading all the way through the living room, over the central swimming pool, to the horizon. The colour of the pool water blends into the backdrop, merging within the mind’s eye, to that point that the pool becomes an extension of the Pacific Ocean that lies beyond it.

The main garden is decorated with palms, heliconias and ferns, mixed with white flowering Spider lilies, Aturium, and dwarf lilacs, whilst the gnarled trunks of numerous frangipanis lead the view upward to their magnificent, flowering blooms. The tropical flora shades the side of the house and creates a privacy screen from parking area and kitchen, while the water-ponds serve to naturally cool the living room with the help of the south-easterly breezes.

The Istana Facilities Summary

* Five luxurious air-conditioned double bedrooms
* Two Swimming Pools
* Integrated CD system, satellite televisions and VCR/DVD players
* Fully equipped kitchen and bar
* Spacious living area
