An elegant residence located in the
fashionable restaurant and bar district of Kerobokan, just 15
minutes from the international airport and minutes away from
the many world-renowned cafés, restaurants and beaches within
the same area.
It is one of Bali's most famous and
celebrated villas with beautifully landscaped gardens and
breathtaking sunset views over terraced rice fields.
4 air-conditioned double bedrooms with
en-suite bathrooms.
Istana Semer was built in
the Grand Bali style and is made up of several wings expanding
from a centralized living pavilion. Entry to the complex is
through a set of large double wooden gates and access to all
areas is via a series of slatted teakwood paths and stone
steps across lotus pond waterways. From these paths is entry
to both bedroom wings - at opposite ends of the main living
pavilion.
The chic and
simplistically styled living pavilion consists of a large
circular room with a dramatic thatched-roof ceiling. An
antique teakwood carved-wall sits behind a formal dining
alcove, while on the opposite side of the room is an open-air
walkway with a beautifully carved stone wall leading to a
separate continues-flow plunge pool. The main room also
features luxurious cushioned sitting areas against an open-air
backdrop with picturesque views across Japanese grass lawns to
the swimming pool and rice fields beyond.
Of the two bedroom wings,
the two fully air-conditioned master suites are located on the
southern side of the villa, both with their own elegant
en-suite bathrooms and canopied king-size four-poster beds -
made with imported linen.
The upper bedroom has a
covered open-air balcony while the lower bedroom integrates a
charming open-style breakfast veranda - each bedroom overlooks
the sweeping tropical grounds, swimming pool and sunsets to
the west. A second bedroom wing consists of 2 more
air-conditioned double bedrooms with a shared fully equipped
indoor/outdoor garden bathroom. The wing is completely
surrounded with tropical lotus ponds.
Other garden aspects and
features include an ancient Hindu temple, a traditional
Balinese balé (thatched sun-sheltering pavilion), sun
loungers, a 15-meter swimming pool, children's playhouse and a
level lawn area perfect for badminton or croquet.
A separate kitchen area is
fully equipped with modern facilities. It has 2 excellent
cooks who cater to both local and international cuisines.
Stylish dinner parties can also be catered to upon request.
