The
spectacular 4-bedroom Villa
Canggu, complete with 20-metre swimming
pool, is located just 50 metres from the beach
in the tiny fishing village of Nelayan –
literally meaning ‘fisherman’ –
close to Canggu on Bali’s southwest coast.
Designed to maximise the natural
light, and catch the cool breezes even at the
hottest time of year, the property offers a
blend of air-conditioned comfort and tropical
open-air living. There are numerous relaxation
areas, so guests will always find a private
spot for peace and quiet. In fact, a large family
or group of people could stay at the villa and
still lose each other within its depths. In
addition to this, guests have the choice of
a number of different eating areas, all of which
present a unique atmosphere, enhanced by the
constant sound of the waves together with wonderful
views of the beach and the Indian Ocean.
Garden,
Pool & Sunset Deck
The garden of the villa is dominated by a 20
x 5 metre lap pool, with a waterfall at one
end. There is also a children’s pool fed
by water spouts. A timber sun deck, furnished
with four sunbeds and two umbrellas, runs the
length of the pool and on the opposite side
is the ‘Sunset Deck’ a large wooden
deck resting at the same elevation as the upper
floor of the villa. Soothed by the sound of
the waterfall, this is an enchanting area for
chilling out with a cocktail at sunset enhanced
by beautiful views of the Indian Ocean. Underneath
the deck is another relaxation area, which is
also suitable for al fresco dining, and furnished
with sofas, a dining table and bench seats.
The walled garden boasts a neat flat lawn dotted
with sweet-scented frangipani trees and towering
coconut palms. At the top end of the pool is
a stone deck sheltered by pink frangipani trees,
and above this is a wide flight of sixteen stone
steps, this grand entrance takes visitors up
to the large living and dining room on the upper
floor.
Master
Bedroom
The air-conditioned Master Bedroom is located
at ground level. It features a warm timber floor
and modern dark wood furnishings including a
king size bed, softly cushioned chairs, an ottoman,
a large wall mirror and an L-shaped desk in
one corner. A large cabinet houses a 21-inch
TV, together with a DVD and quality sound system.
The interior décor showcases the chic
signature style of Dean Kempnich, with an olive
and deep cerise theme. The bed is dressed in
sumptuous silk fabrics with an array of scatter
cushions in toning shades. This picture of luxury
is completed with funky cerise-pink lamps.
A spacious adjoining dressing room presents
plenty of storage and hanging space, with fitted
cupboards and large wall mirrors. There is also
a safe deposit box.
The dressing room leads into an
en-suite terrazzo-floored bathroom, characterised
by a large terrazzo bathtub. Twin ceramic washbasins
rest upon a terrazzo vanity unit and the toilet
is positioned to one side. All of the guests’
needs have been considered with the installation
of excellent lighting. At the far end of the
bathroom is a walk-in shower boasting a semi-open
air ambience and an abundance of natural light,
due to the provision of an open area at the
top and sides of the shower, which allows the
cool breezes to circulate. The shower is complemented
by a myriad of textures with a Palimanan stone
and pebble floor, timber panelling, frosted
glass, and a random rock wall.
Sliding glass doors open
from the bedroom on to a stone verandah furnished
with two cushioned chairs and a table. Sheltered
by a roof, this shady nook is bordered by a
hedge of bulrushes for privacy. |
