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 maximize 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 meter 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 sun beds 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, characterized 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
paneling, 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.
Children’s Bedroom with adjoining
babysitter room
The second bedroom on the ground floor is suitable for
children because it is adjoined by a small room designed to
accommodate a babysitter. The babysitter room is furnished
with cupboards and a bed.
The children’s room features twin mattresses
resting upon a wide base. This air-conditioned room is also
suitable for a couple, because the mattresses can be pushed
together to create a double bed. The room features a
wall-length desk, built-in shelf units, a timber floor, and a
very private verandah accessed by sliding glass doors and
located in the back corner of the villa’s walled garden. The
verandah is furnished with two chairs and a table. The bedroom
is also equipped with a 20-inch TV, DVD and sound system, and
a safe deposit box. A dedicated dressing area features a large
wall mirror and fitted cupboards. The en-suite terrazzo
bathroom presents a vanity unit with a washbasin, toilet and
walk-in shower, complete with tiled floor, random rock walls
and frosted glass screens, which are open at the top to allow
cross ventilation of the natural breezes.
Kitchen
The state-of-the art service kitchen is fully equipped with
everything that the staffs need in order to prepare delicious
meals. Located on the ground floor, it is fitted with gleaming
appliances, black marble units, a central island, and a large
oven with a six-burner gas hob. This expansive and impressive
kitchen is also a professional facility for outside caterers
to prepare lavish feasts for weddings, parties and special
functions. A precious feature, rarely seen in Bali, is the
electric food elevator, designed to convey food and other
items from the kitchen to the dining room on the upper floor.
The kitchen area is also the location of the
linen room, laundry, and staff rooms.
There is a guest washroom located on the
ground floor close to the main entrance.
Living & Dining Room
The magnificent Living & Dining Room is the central focus of
the villa; it is accessed by a grand flight of Palimanan stone
steps leading up from the pool terrace, in addition to another
staircase located near the front door. This long room is
characterized by a polished wood floor with a terrazzo border
under a soaring dark timber roof. Colourful local artwork
adorns the walls and, at one end, sliding glass doors open
onto a verandah with a gorgeous ocean view. As soon as these
doors are opened, the room is filled with cool sea breezes
accompanied by the melodious sound of the waves. A set of
folding glass doors above the central staircase can be opened
to increase the effects of the cross ventilation, and the room
is also equipped with four pendulous steel ceiling fans. When
the doors are closed, guests have the option of
air-conditioned comfort.
At one end of the room is black marble bar,
behind which is a small kitchenette complete with a 3-burner
hob, a sink, and a wine cooler housing a good selection of
wines. This is the area to which the food is transported by
elevator from the downstairs service kitchen, and there is
also a staff staircase with direct access to the kitchen. Next
to the bar is the dining area furnished with a large square
dining table that comfortably seats twelve.
The living area is on the seaward side of the
room, furnished with a long sofa, scatter cushions, ottomans,
a coffee table, an arching chrome standard lamp, and a dark
wood cabinet housing a TV, DVD player and quality sound
system.
More doors at the opposite end of the living
and dining room lead out onto a large U-shaped stone deck,
which wraps itself around the far side of the villa, more than
doubling the space of the living and dining area, thereby
making it a perfect venue for parties. One section of this
deck is sheltered by a timber and clear polycarbonate roof,
which provides shade while still allowing the natural light to
shine through. This cool verandah is furnished with a circular
table and chairs, ideal for casual alfresco dining. Another
area is furnished with a large built-in cushioned daybed for
relaxing, sleeping or sunbathing.
Bedrooms 3 & 4
The 3rd and 4th bedrooms are located on the upper floor, on
the same level as the living and dining room. Furnished with
queen size beds, desks and ottomans, these air-conditioned
bedrooms feature wooden floors, and each follows an olive and
chocolate colour theme. Each is equipped with a TV, DVD player
and sound system, and safe deposit box. One room has a narrow
balcony and the other boasts a large stone balcony overlooking
the pool and garden. Both of the bedrooms, the balconies and
the bathrooms boast glorious sea views. Each bedroom has a
dressing area with built in storage, and each has an en-suite
terrazzo bathroom equipped with a porcelain washbasin, a
toilet, wall mirrors, and a walk in shower comprised of
natural green tiles and frosted glass screens, open at the top
to facilitate cross ventilation of the natural sea breezes.
These two bedrooms have an interconnecting
door, located between the dressing areas. The door can be
locked or left open according to guest’s needs.
Rooftop Verandah
A spiral staircase extends from the living room verandah up to
a unique chill-out area located at roof level. Here, another
breezy verandah is cooled by sea breezes and sheltered by a
timber and clear polycarbonate roof. The view from here, of
Bali’s dramatic coastline stretching all the way down to
Uluwatu, is spectacular.
