A visit to Ombak Luwung will allow you to experience an entirely new dimension of beauty, peace and tranquility. Ombak Luwung means ‘magnificent waves’ in the Balinese language. In other words, Ombak Luwung creates the ideal environment to relax and enjoy the beautiful blue waters of the Indian Ocean, right at your doorstep. The name reflects the fact that the ever-changing view of the sea provides the backdrop for the buildings and its gardens. The pounding surf will set the rhythm of your stay here. Ombak Luwung is that very rare combination of absolute beachfront and exclusive privacy, exquisitely realized in the form of a Balinese-style architectural masterpiece.

Every element in the design of Ombak Luwung contributes to the harmonious enjoyment of this special place. The placement of the structures, shrines, gardens and ornaments are all informed by ancient Balinese principals that will maximize the peace and well-being of its occupants.

The overall design is executed in traditional Balinese materials and organization. Each room is a separate structure, with simple elements of natural wood and stone topped with alang alang (thatched roofs), offset by intricate and fascinating decorative touches. Naturally, the entire complex is set within lush gardens. The combined effect of the fundamental design features create a sheltered and peaceful center courtyard, from which one’s attention is inevitably pulled to the wide-open spaces facing our stunning sea view.

From the main entrance, one proceeds down a shady pergola-covered walkway to the central plaza. On all sides, you will see massive stone mural-walls depicting scenes of Balinese village life. On your right stands a two-storey structure which floats on a giant lilly-pond. The ground floor of this building is configured as a study/library/media room and can also be used as a fifth bedroom with en-suite and outdoor shower. Upstairs, another bedroom provides sea views, an en-suite bathroom and a beautiful Chinese wedding bed.

Look to the left from the plaza and you will see the wantilan, a traditional Balinese living room. This is the heart of Ombak Luwung, with its comfortable sitting area looking out to the pool and the ocean beyond. The wantilan is complete with a powder room, wet kitchen and sound system for your enjoyment. Beside the wantilan is the kitchen and air-conditioned dining room with seating for up to ten.

Opposite the kitchen is a garden-view bedroom with king size bed and en-suite. This bedroom opens into a private courtyard with a massage pavilion and outdoor shower.

A masseuse can be arranged by request through our staff.

On either side of the wantilan, facing the sea, are two spectacular sea-view bedrooms with king size beds and en-suite. The bathroom of the master bedroom is separate pavilion, floating in its own pond and composed from black stone and terrazzo.

In front of it all an expansive deck serves the beautiful black stone swimming pool (8 meters x 16 meters), with 360 degree infinity edge. Choose from teak wood lounge chairs or relax in the cooling stone lounges facing the sea. There is also a large heated spa-pool for your relaxation. An intricately carved lumbung (rice barn) at the edge of the beach makes a perfect venue for viewing the stunning sunsets of Bali.

Half an hour’s drive North, adjacent to the Tanah Lot temple, you will find the Meridien Resort and Nirvana golf course, frequently described as the most beautiful golf course in the world.Going South towards Kuta and the airport, one comes to Seminyak and Legian with many fine restaurants and shopping opportunities.
