Villa Windu Sari—the name is loosely translated as ‘a beautiful place in time’ - is a peaceful oasis in the heart of Petitenget on Bali’s southwest coast. Designed by the internationally acclaimed architect Glenn Parker, with interiors by Dean Kempnich and landscaping by Anto Kusnanto, the four-bedroom villa is characterised by an abundance of teakwood and marble. It is comprised of two shingle-roof pavilions housing a magnificent open-sided living and dining area, a cosy media room, an entertainment terrace, a gym, four bedrooms on two levels, a kitchen and a service area. The property is set within a delightful walled garden complete with a feature swimming pool, and nestled within a safe and secure private estate, just a few minutes’ walk from the beach and a whole host of world-class restaurants. It is ideal for families with older children.

Living & Dining Pavilion
The spacious Living & Dining Pavilion is characterised by a soaring roof, splendid honey-coloured teakwood panelling, a creamy-coloured Indian stone wall and a polished marble floor. Open on three sides, it is cooled by gentle breezes and ceiling fans and dramatically lit by pendulous copper lanterns. The solid teak dining table boasts five stage banquet extensions enabling it to accommodate up to 20 guests. The living area is furnished with comfortable sofas and ottomans complemented by a glass coffee table with hidden lighting that creates a soft glow at night.

A Sonos digital music system, with many thousand sound tracks sorted into a wide variety of genres, can be controlled remotely from anywhere within the Living & Dining Pavilion, the garden or the poolside ‘bale’ Pavilion.

Kitchen & Service Area
The service area runs behind the Living and Dining Pavilion and includes the villa manager’s office, laundry with washer and dryer, and a fully equipped kitchen fitted with Smeg appliances including a steam and convection oven.

Garden & Pool
Villa Windu Sari is securely located within a small private estate, the entrance of which is monitored 24 hours a day by a professional security team. With a garage and an adjacent night security hut outside the front entrance, the villa is entered via a pivot door positioned within a traditional Balinese gateway.

The neat walled garden integrates a sparkling, deep blue 13.5 x 4.5 metre lap pool complete with a timber deck. The depth of the pool ranges from 1.5 metres to 2.2 metres; it is accessed by wide steps and flanked by an impressive pandanas tree.

A large ‘bale’ open-sided relaxation pavilion and a Himalayan-stone water cascade are located poolside, and the deck is furnished with sun-beds and umbrella. A pool shower is provided for guest convenience.

There is a built-in 5-burner gas barbeque in a specially allocated area of the garden, creating an alternative dining or party option. Flat velvety lawns are bordered by an eclectic selection of tropical plants, flowering shrubs and trees including palms, mini hibiscus, stag horn ferns and orchids.

At night the garden and pool take on a different and special persona, due to clever recessed lighting designed and provided by Light-Com under the direction of Paul Turner.
