Surrounded by forest and rural scenes, Villa Indah Manis
commands breathtaking views spanning the Indian Ocean and the southernmost
tip of the island all the way up the west coast past Jimbaran, the
airport, Kuta and Canggu, and inland to Bedugul. On a clear day,
the awesome vista takes in Mt Batu Karu together with the volcanoes
of East Java. This beautiful area boasts some of the most idyllic
beaches in Bali, including Balangan, Dreamland, Bingin and Padang
Padang. These hidden, white sandy coves are great for both surfers
and non-surfers alike.
This villa is an ideal place for those planning
to get married in Bali. The self-contained one bedroom Villa
Bulan Madu located next door is an ideal hideway place from
the crowd. This villa is built and decorated with couples in love
in mind.
The elevated living area is open on two sides, and cooled by natural
breezes and ceiling fans. It features a coffee-coloured marble floor,
and is equipped with a TV, DVD, quality sound system and a mini
refrigerator.
The air-conditioned bedrooms, complete with ceiling fan, is accessed
by sliding glass doors on two sides. The room is exquisitely decorated
and furnished, and the enticing king-size bed is canopied in dreamy
diaphanous drapes.
The en-suite sumptuous bathroom appears to float upon a moat; this
open-air pavilion is supported by pillars and characterised by a
splendid Palimanan stone bathtub big enough for two, together with
a rainshower, and a floating vanity unit with a sculptured terrazzo
washbasin, plus a toilet. A gold Buddha statue rests in an alcove,
ceiling fans keep this area cool, and blinds can be dropped for
absolute privacy.
The pretty garden boasts a thatched ‘bale’ relaxation
pavilion, which is cushioned with a large covered mattress. It faces
the sunset and presides over the 6 x 4 metre private swimming pool.
The sea view is delightful both from here and also from the raised
living area. The pool deck is furnished with sunloungers and a sun
umbrella, and there is also a circular dining table together with
chairs, positioned outside.
Bedrooms
Kamboja Bedroom
The Kamboja Bedroom is accessed by double Balinese doors. It features
a marble floor under a soaring roof, and displays a bold use of
colour. Air-conditioned, with the additional provision of a ceiling
fan, it is attractively furnished with a king-size bed canopied
with diaphanous drapes. There is also a TV and plenty of storage
cupboards.
The en-suite bathroom is a stunning example of the romantic Bali
style, an open-air bathroom dominated by a sparkling, terrazzo,
circular bathtub, where guests can soak under an open sky and enjoy
wonderful views of the ocean in complete privacy. It is particularly
lovely at night. The air-conditioned indoor section of the bathroom
is comprised of creamy white Palimanan stone walls and a marble
floor, complemented by a Balinese statue and a terrazzo vanity unit
topped with a sculptured washbasin. Glass bricks channel an abundance
of natural light, and the toilet is hidden within an alcove.
Jempiring Bedroom
Heralded by an ornamental pond and an ornately carved Palimanan
stone frieze, the Jempiring Bedroom also features a marble floor
under a soaring roof. It is air-conditioned, with the additional
provision of a ceiling fan, and furnished with a king size bed.
The en-suite garden bathroom is surrounded by walls; a striking
feature is the glassless window, which frames a Balinese statue,
and looks stunning at night. The Palimanan stone-walled bathroom
is fitted with twin washbasins, a rainshower and a toilet tucked
away in an alcove.
The Jempiring is specially equipped to serve as a kids room. The
room can sleep six with the combination of pullout sofas in place.
Alamanda Bedroom & Melati Room
Alamanda and Melati are joined by a common doorway which can be
opened to make the two rooms into one large and functional suite.
Melati is flexible, and can be used as a sleeping (perfect for young
kids that need to be near their parents) or as a completely separate
room or with the door open, as a sitting room to complement the
Alamanda Room. Both rooms are air-conditioned as well as being fitted
with ceiling fans.
The adjoining open-air bathroom serves both the Melati and Alamanda
Rooms, with separate doors leading into each room. It features twin
washbasins in sculpted terrazzo, a glassless window showcasing a
Balinese statue, orange cupboards, a rainshower, and an alcoved
toilet.
Cempaka Bedroom
The Cempaka Bedroom is located on an upper level, and accessed
by an external flight of Palimanan stone steps. The adjoining wooden
deck offers more eye-popping views, and is furnished with a daybed
and a low opium table.
The air-conditioned bedroom is distinguished by a soaring roof
and a coffee-coloured marble floor. It is furnished with a king-size
opium bed, equipped with a ceiling fan, and it features a dressing
area behind the bed.
The en-suite bathroom, also located upstairs, is characterised
by slatted walls that allow the cool breezes to permeate. Blinds
can be dropped at night for privacy. There is a rainshower, a washbasin,
a large wall mirror and an alcoved toilet.
Living and Dining Pavilions
Approached via a wide paved driveway, guests enter the property
to find a pathway lit by lanterns and lined with palm trees. The
13 x 6 metre Living & Dining Pavilion is the focal point and
social hub of Villa Indah Manis, boasting a graceful shingle roof
unobstructed by pillars, therefore giving it the appearance of a
floating structure. Open on four sides with sliding glass doors
at the front, which can be closed for protection against the elements,
the pavilion is flanked by a lotus pond and serenaded by the mellow
sound of water bubbling over ornamental urns. A stepping stone bridge
marks the entrance, and the soaring roof is lined with bamboo. The
pavilion is furnished with a modern dining table that can comfortably
seat fourteen. The custom-made furnishings and accessories include
three deeply-cushioned sofas, lazy chairs, sideboards, coffee tables,
two impressive wrought iron chandeliers, ceiling fans and candelabra.
Entertainment and Game Room
Two sets of steps lead down to a lower level, below the garden
and swimming pool. This area houses a cozy snug known as The Maharajah
Room.
Decorated in rich reds and complemented by a comfortable built-in
L-shaped sofa, silk cushions and framed textiles, the room is equipped
with a TV, DVD and surround sound speakers. There is also a library
of over 150 DVDs and books, a refrigerator, and an additional dining
table for casual dining.
Immediately outside is a special sandy area allocated for Pétanque
– a game similar to boules. Unique Pétanque packages
are a specialty of Villa Indah Manis. Additionally, kids, teenagers
and adults will enjoy the games room complete with pool table located
immediately underneath the swimming pool.
A daybed is positioned beside the pool table, and there is also
a dartboard.
Pool and Garden
The 14 x 4 metre, infinity-edge lap pool is lined with green Java
stone, and appears to overflow into the forest below. At the far
end, it is sensationally suspended eight metres above the ground
and the water is 1.4 metres in depth. There is a 60-centimetre shallow
end for kids, and this part of the pool is also very pleasant for
sitting in. The terrazzo pool deck is furnished with stylish, high
quality, lightweight metal sunloungers and Chinese-style sun parasols.
Mini parasols are also to be found throughout the property for the
use of guests. There are numerous relaxation areas, strategically
positioned in the shade, so that guests will always find a private
spot for peace and quiet.
The garden is planted with frangipani and flowering shrubs, and
adorned with pots of bougainvillea and a carved frieze depicting
characters from The Ramayana.
Spa
The spa is positioned on the same level, on the far side of the
games room. Here guests can enjoy beautiful views and blissful spa
treatments including a complimentary massage on arrival. Flanked
by sweet-scented frangipani trees, the spa boasts an open-sided,
thatched massage pavilion, known as a ‘bale’, in addition
to a Jacuzzi, a washroom and a fabulous bathtub for rose petal baths.
The spa is equipped with a massage bed, and a chair and washbasin
designed for the Indonesian ‘creambath’ – a special
treatment for the hair that includes a conditioning scalp massage
and moisturising hair crème together with a relaxing neck
and shoulder massage.
Study Room
Located to one side of the Maharajah Room is a study with a desk
and Internet access. There is also a wine cellar, regulated at European
cave temperature.
Fitness
The Fitness Room, located between the Studio and the Spa, is equipped
with a running machine, an exercise bike, a stepper, a rowing machine,
light weights and wall mirrors.
Sunset Bar
A stand-alone teakwood bar rests at the edge of the pool terrace
to one side of the Living & Dining Pavilion. This square bar
is characterised by an ‘alang alang’ thatched roof and
furnished with ten high chairs. The slatted wooden sides have been
cleverly designed to hide some discreet lighting, which means that
the bar dramatically lights up at night.
In addition to being very useful during pool time, the Sunset Bar
provides a pleasant place to enjoy the spectacular late afternoons,
as the sun sets into the Indian Ocean. In the evenings, the Bar
area is a pleasant gathering point for guests before dinner, or
to enjoy a cigar al fresco after your meal.
Events
The property is built to be functional, and has been designed for
both guest comfort and for the ability to handle gracefully weddings,
parties and celebrations. A full service kitchen provides the facilities
to cater for up to eighty guests, all of whom can be seated on the
terrace. The main garden can accommodate the same number for a Champagne
reception, and the open-air bar is also a suitable area for stand-up
cocktails. The pool can be covered with a temporary platform to
create a dance floor or a stage for a live band. The terrace and
lawns are also perfect for dance performances, and barbeques, which
are a specialty of the villa. The modern Balinese architecture makes
use of local materials, such as white Palimanan stone, teakwood
and sandwash, together with ‘sirap’ ironwood shingle
for the roofs.
