The 4-bedroom Villa JajaLiluna is a peaceful oasis,
nestled in the heart of the fashionable Oberoi area on Bali's
south-western coast. Twenty-five minutes' drive from the
international airport, and convenient for all of the main
shops, tourist attractions and vibrant nightspots, the villa
is just 100 meters from the magnificent Seminyak beach,
renowned for its world-class surf breaks, panoramic coastline
views and legendary sunsets. A wide choice of
world-renowned fine dining restaurants, including the famous
KuDeTa, Hu’u, Living Room, and La Lucciola are all within a
five-minute walking distance. The ideal location is also
within walking distance of an eclectic collection of designer
boutiques. Guests at Villa Jaja-Liluna will be eligible for
complimentary membership of The Canggu Club throughout the
duration of their stay. Located about fifteen minutes’ drive
from the villa, this is Bali’s first and only international
private members’ club; offering sports, social and leisure
facilities, including a state-of-the art gym, a 25-metre
swimming pool and a tennis & squash centre.
Introduction
The symmetrical villa is comprised of three separate,
self-contained pavilions positioned around a stunning swimming
pool, adjacent to a flat green lawn within a walled courtyard
garden. The main 2-storey pavilion houses the living room,
together with a breezy upstairs mezzanine and balcony, and
four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. There is also a family
lounge, which doubles as a yoga pavilion, and an elegant
dining pavilion. Taking advantage of the villa’s tropical
location, all of the rooms boast large teakwood-framed glass
doors that can be pocketed away to allow the cool breezes to
circulate, thereby ensuring that guests can enjoy the full
impact of the surroundings while sheltered from the elements.
With its spacious and luxurious atmosphere, Villa Jaja-Liluna
is ideally suited for families and small groups of discerning
people who want to experience the best of Bali.
Architecture
Designed by the internationally-acclaimed, Bali-based, Glen
Parker of ‘Glen Parker Architects’, in collaboration with the
owners who spend much of their time at the property, Villa
Jaja-Liluna is a masterpiece that blends the very best of
modern Balinese architectural elements with elegant finishes
and superior amenities. The architecture of the villa utilizes
local materials including ironwood shingles for the roof,
creamy white Palimanan stone, Bengkirai wood floors, cream
terrazzo, white pebbled pathways and decorative pebbled
borders. The fresh white walls and furnishings, the warm brown
of the teakwood frames, and the cool aquamarine and cobalt
blue of the ceramic pool tiles, form the dominant colours,
juxtaposed against the greenery of Bali’s exotic plants. The
style is based on the concept of the traditional Balinese
family compound with a separate building or ‘balé’ for each
function, and a license to amend the purpose of each in
accordance with the comforts of modern living. Recessed
lighting creates a romantic ambience at night.
Entrance, garden, and swimming pool
A snaking pathway leads from a spacious car parking area to
the main entrance marked by an unusual pivot door. Visitors
will then traverse an ornamental pond flanked by twin palm
trees and firebowls. Water plays a central and important role
in the agriculturally-based culture of Bali, and this has been
reflected in the layout of the property. A stunning swimming
pool has been designed to link the three pavilions. The pool
flows with the living design and joins everything together,
coming right up to the edge of the rooms to create an intimate
connection between each pavilion. A timber sundeck extends
from the main living area, and Palimanan stone sun terraces
are situated opposite each other on either side of the pool.
One terrace is furnished with sun-loungers and umbrellas, the
other with a barbeque and a large table with bench seats for
alfresco dining. Additional shade is provided by two twisting
frangipani trees; during the day these sweet-scented flowering
trees cast cool shadows, while at night they appear to dance
on the shimmering water of the pool.
Living and Sleeping Pavilion
The symmetrical living and sleeping pavilion is a 2-storey
building. The downstairs living room opens directly onto the
timber deck bordering the pool. Graced with lazy chairs and
deeply cushioned sofas, the white colour theme is broken by
the occasional splash of colour and a fine collection of
antique framed prints on the walls. This carefully crafted
room, with its cool terrazzo floor, easily earns its place as
the nexus of the property, and is ideal for entertaining and
relaxing. The doors at each end open fully to create a moving
air flow, while exposing a sparkling water cascade bounded by
a hedge of young bamboo at the back. A guest powder-room, with
toilet and washbasin, is located to one side of the water
cascade. Big circular cushioned cane chairs rest upon the pool
deck at the front underneath a Sunbrella canopy, which
provides shelter and shade and is reminiscent of the sails of
a boat. A Palimanan staircase leads up to a timber floored
mezzanine, another breezy living space furnished with a large
daybed and a plasma wide-screen satellite TV and DVD player.
This area is fitted with doors that open completely onto a
balcony running the length of the pavilion, overhanging the
garden. The balcony is also accessed from each of the upstairs
bedrooms. Large picture windows on the stair landing overlook
the neighboring rice fields. The main living area and upstairs
mezzanine face directly west. Due to the close proximity of
the beach, the skyline is uncluttered, presenting great views
of the Balinese sunsets complete with the palm trees
silhouetted against red and purple skies.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
All four air-conditioned bedrooms, with their en-suite
bathrooms and cream terrazzo floors, are the same size and
shape; two are located downstairs and two are located
upstairs, mirror images of each other in keeping with the
perfect symmetry. Three of the bedrooms are furnished with
king size beds with diaphanous white drapes. The fourth
bedroom, upstairs, is fitted out as a children’s room,
designed to sleep four kids in bunk beds. Each bedroom is
complemented by fitted white louvre wardrobes, white storage
units and white curtains. Each en-suite bathroom is entered
through an Asian-influenced sliding frosted-glass door,
designed to let the light through. All of the bathrooms
feature grey streaked marble topped vanity units, huge wall
mirrors, ceramic washbowls, toilets, and sizeable glass shower
cubicles with powerful rainshowers. One of the upstairs
bathrooms features “his & hers” washbasins, while one of the
downstairs bathrooms boasts a bathtub, bordered by mosaic
tiles in shades of brown and beige. The doors from this
downstairs bathroom open into a private walled garden area
with an outdoor rainshower, complete with mosaic tiled splash
back and washbasin.
Lounge Pavilion
The single-storey lounge pavilion is a square building
characterized by a Bengkirai wood floor bordered by Palimanan,
underneath a soaring pitched roof displaying the neat rattan
lining on the underside of the roof. The clever design allows
guests to completely fold back the doors on three sides to
create an open-air pavilion, cooled by natural breezes and
ceiling fans. Bamboo blinds can be dropped for privacy and
shade. Equipped with a satellite TV and DVD player, this
family room is a cosy snug for reading or watching TV or
movies, while also doubling as a yoga pavilion. One wall is
fitted with white cupboards and shelf units stocked with
books; this is flanked by twin alcoves, positioned opposite
each other, each one showcasing a Buddha’s head resting upon a
pedestal.
Dining Pavilion
The dining pavilion is the same shape and size as the
lounge pavilion, complete with a Bengkirai wood floor and
glass doors that can be completely folded back on three sides
to create an open-air ambience, cooled by natural breezes and
ceiling fans. The mood generated by the unique furnishing
styles, however, is very different from that of the lounge
pavilion. This elegant dining room is furnished with an
attractive square dining table and eight chairs, together with
a service counter.
Kitchen & Laundry
The fully-equipped kitchen, together with a laundry, is
housed in the service area to one side of the property,
leaving the remainder of the villa free to enjoy the environs
of the garden and pool.
