luxurious 3 Bedrooms Private Villa
Villa des Indes, part of the
exclusive Laksmana Villas, is located in the most
fashionable area of Seminyak, offering selected holiday
visitors a unique opportunity to experience colonial
lifestyle in top end luxury. For many years Bali has been a
favorite tropical paradise of world travelers where
hospitable residents of this extraordinary island open their
homes to visitors who arrive seeking tranquility and repose.
In recent years Bali has acquired a new reputation, as a
glittering global resort, where elite world travelers mingle
in chic beach cafes and restaurants.
Villa des Indes is built in
a unique style and decorated with museum quality Indonesian
art. Enter the villa through huge antique doors and across a
koi pond to the magnificent centerpiece of the estate, the “Joglo”.
This century old residence of a Javanese nobleman has been
carefully transplanted to Bali. It is a masterpiece of
intricately hand carved teak wood that needs to be seen to
be fully appreciated. The Joglo rests on a lagoon-style
swimming pool featuring an island and set in an amazing
tropical garden.
The owners who are well
traveled, with long experience in South East Asia, have
decorated the Joglo and the three individual bungalows with
selected museum-quality art from their extensive collection,
which include: paintings, period furniture, classic
sculptures as well as charming colonial prints.
None of the tranquility of Bali’s timeless charm has been
lost, the exclusive residences of Laksmana Villas are
situated in complete privacy down a shady lane that keeps
the outside world at a discreet distance, and all this only
one hundred meters from the Indian ocean ! At night the only
sounds heard are that of a tropical breeze in swaying
coconut palms, and the distant crashing of surf.
Villa Des
Indes Bungalows
Each of the three individual colonial style bungalows within
the villa residence have wide verandas and magnificent views
of the exquisitely hand carved Javanese Joglo, the social
center of the estate and overlook the pool. All of the
bungalows are fully air conditioned with oversized antique
Balinese wooden beds, splendidly appointed baths, and
outdoor showers.
Three of the bungalows have
den-libraries attached to the bedrooms. The third bungalow
has an upper open pavilion for sunset cocktails with
adjacent butler’s pantry and guest toilet. The best of
Seminyak is within walking distance of the villa, but many
visitors find they will seldom leave this elegant ambience
which transports all who enter to a gentler more civilized
era.
