Bed­rooms
The air-conditioned Mas­ter Suite at this Bali villa fea­tures a warm tim­ber floor and slid­ing glass doors on three sides under a high roof. The mod­ern fur­nish­ings include a king-size four poster bed, a couch and a desk and chair.

This bed­room is com­ple­mented by a spa­cious tim­ber bal­cony, which looks across the river to the rice ter­races beyond. Here, two cush­ioned daybeds pro­vide the facil­ity for com­plete relaxation.

A dress­ing area and wardrobes (com­plete with a safe deposit box) are built in behind the bed and linked to the en-suite air-conditioned bath­room, which fea­tures a black ter­razzo floor and twin wash­basins upon a cen­tral van­ity unit with two mir­rors. A toi­let and walk-in rain­drop shower are located in two sep­a­rate cubi­cles with frosted glass doors. The bath­room extends into a large and pri­vate walled gar­den planted with trav­ellers’ palms, spi­der lilies and torch gin­ger. Here, a roman­tic over­sized bath­tub rests in the open air, shel­tered from the ele­ments by the over­hang­ing roof. There is also an open-air shower.

Suites 2 & 3 are located in the fam­ily build­ing. Suite 2 is fur­nished with twin beds that can be con­verted into a dou­ble bed if required, while Suite 3 presents a king-size bed.

An ornately tiled out­door bath­tub is posi­tioned upon a breezy bal­cony, where there is also a cush­ioned daybed. Addi­tion­ally, there is an open-air shower and, to one side, a glass­less win­dow presents a won­der­ful view that guests can enjoy from a cozy window-seat.

Kids’ Bed­room / Nanny’s Room
A stair­case leads down under the Din­ing Pavil­ion to a small ‘spill-over’ room, which can sleep up to five kids. It is fit­ted with bunk beds and is also suit­able for a children’s nanny. There is a bath­room next door with a toi­let, shower and washbasin.

Liv­ing Pavil­ion
The mag­nif­i­cent Liv­ing Pavil­ion pre­sides over the prop­erty. It is flanked by a ter­race laid with grass-edged Pal­i­manan paving stones, and over­looks the swim­ming pool, ter­raced gar­dens and rice fields. This open-sided pavil­ion is mod­elled upon the tra­di­tional Bali­nese ‘Wan­ti­lan’, or vil­lage meet­ing place, with a soar­ing, two-tiered roof sup­ported by pil­lars, com­plete with pen­du­lous lanterns and ceil­ing fans above a mint-white sand­stone floor. The expan­sive space is fur­nished with two com­fort­able sofas, ottomans, a cof­fee table, a dec­o­ra­tive, antique Javanese daybed, and a pair of white coconut shell chairs with a small match­ing table. The Liv­ing Pavil­ion is linked to the rest of this Bali villa by a cov­ered, colon­naded walk­way with black and white che­quered tiles. Off the walk­way is sit­u­ated a guest wash­room dec­o­rated with Indian stone tiles and accessed by a colour­ful, antique Bali­nese door.

Din­ing Pavil­ion
The open-sided Din­ing Pavil­ion is ele­vated above a high but­tresses com­posed of indige­nous serai stone, por­tray­ing a geo­met­ric jig­saw of shapes. A long suar wood din­ing table seats up to 14 din­ner guests. The pavil­ion is cooled by nat­ural breezes and ceil­ing fans and com­mands fab­u­lous views of the bor­der­ing rice fields.

Kitchens
There are two fully equipped kitchens at Puri Bawana Estate ser­vic­ing this bali villa, one is the ser­vice kitchen and the other is a state-of-the-art kitchen posi­tioned next to the din­ing pavil­ion and linked by a large ser­vice bar. This immac­u­late, designer kitchen reveals a dis­crim­i­nat­ing taste for func­tional beauty and cutting-edge style. Crafted in black mar­ble with a cen­tral island, sil­ver grey units and glass­less shut­tered win­dows, it is equipped with a hob, oven, wine fridge, cof­fee machine and other high tech appli­ances. There is even the pro­vi­sion of a sound system.

TV & Enter­tain­ment Room
Also located under the Din­ing Pavil­ion, is the air-conditioned TV and Enter­tain­ment Room. The room is equipped with a ceil­ing fan, teak wall units, and a large satel­lite TV mounted upon the wall, com­plete with sur­round sound, a DVD/CD player, and a Wii Game Sys­tem. The furnishings?two large sofas, a glass-topped antique cof­fee table and two ottomans?can be pushed back against the wall to cre­ate an impres­sive party space. In one cor­ner is a bar that can dou­ble as a DJ’s nook. Glass doors open from the Enter­tain­ment Room onto a ter­race with a per­gola sup­ported by serai stone pil­lars beside the pool deck. Fur­nished with an out­door din­ing table for eight, this is a great spot for a barbeque.

Swim­ming Pool & Gar­den
The swim­ming pool is 30 metres in length, incor­po­rat­ing a kids’ pool at one end. It is lined with rus­tic blue Java stone and the curved infin­ity edge fol­lows the con­tour of the rice ter­races. The Pal­i­manan stone pool deck is fur­nished with sun loungers and there is an open-sided ‘bale’, relax­ation pavil­ion, posi­tioned within the pool and accessed by step­ping stones. Addi­tion­ally, a raised walk­way leads to an ele­vated bale, a tra­di­tional lazy, breezy gazebo with a thatched roof, open sides and a cush­ioned floor. There is an out­door din­ing table with seats for 8, that is often used for out­door bar­be­ques and casual day­time din­ing. This is the place to relax, con­tem­plate and med­i­tate, over­look­ing the river and enjoy­ing the sights and sounds of nature, but­ter­flies and birds. A wide flat lawn planted with four palms is the ideal set­ting for par­ties, wed­dings and events. A path­way leads down to the river and the gar­dens spill out into the padi fields to a tra­di­tional pavil­ion designed for wed­ding cer­e­monies. There is also an herb gar­den and an environmentally-friendly waste water gar­den. If the tim­ing is right, guests will have the oppor­tu­nity to plant some rice. Many of the rice fields that sur­rounded the villa are part of the estate. On the far side of the river, a pic­turesque rice ter­race is carved like an amphithe­atre into the con­tours of the land.
