This perfect location is close to every
amenity guests might need, yet it presents a fascinating
insight into the life of rural Bali. The culture of rice is
one of Bali’s most ancient traditions. Legenda, surrounded on
two sides by rice paddies, is in the center of that tradition.
There are also glimpses of the Indian Ocean and on clear days,
there is a spectacular view of Bali’s majestic mountains.
Easily accessible sporting amenities include world-class
surfing at the Berawa Beach surf break; and golfing at Nirwana
Bali Golf Course, designed by Greg Norman and voted the number
one golf course in Indonesia. For horse lovers, the Umalas
Equestrian Centre is just a few kilometers away. Surf board
and golf club rentals can be arranged.
The Villa
The air-conditioned Media Room is equipped
with a 32-inch LCD flat screen TV, VCD player and surround
sound system. It is entered via folding doors leading from the
Dining Room. This comfortable room is furnished with two
deeply-cushioned sofas, traditional batik cushions, a games
table with Plexiglas chairs, and an innovative glass topped
coffee table created by hand from coffee-wood branches.
Sliding windows on one side overlook an ornamental pond and a
window on the other side looks out at the pool. Books and
artifacts fill the bookcases.
The Master Suite is accessed by an elevated
covered walkway on the Living Room level, bridging a water
garden below. A sliding door opens to reveal the
air-conditioned Office/Sitting Room, complete with merbau wood
floor, antique desk, chairs and original artwork on the walls.
The Master Bedroom is entered via another
sliding door, where a splendid king-size, canopied bed,
dressed in white linens and mosquito netting sits in the
center of the room like a throne. It features intricate
carving and is a copy of an old Madurese Royal bed. This
air-conditioned room is equipped with a TV and VCD player. The
walls are decorated in a cool shade of blue. There is a
vaulted wood ceiling and folding glass doors that open onto a
wide wrap around slate-floored balcony. This allows guests to
choose open air sleeping instead of air-conditioning if they
wish.
Service & Facilities
The Guest Suite is equipped with a safe
deposit box and a mini-bar fridge. A beautiful old cabinet
holds a TV and VCD player. The dressing area and ensuite
bathroom follow the same layout and have the same amenities as
the Master Suite.
The wide wrap around white Palimanan stone
terrace is furnished with an antique carved Timorese table and
chairs for private dining, or just relaxing and viewing the
rice fields.
The free standing Guest House is located on
the far side of the living and dining pavilion on ground
level. It can be reached from the Dining Room or by an outdoor
staircase which leads from the Living Room. It is
air-conditioned and features a soaring ceiling and a merbau
wood floor. The furnishings include a queen size, four-poster
bed fashioned from carved teak, with exquisite white linens
and mosquito netting; an antique cabinet housing a TV and VCD
player with surround sound; a writing table and chairs.
