			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Istana</strong> is located on south western tip of Bali in an area designated the Bukit. This five bedroom estate overlooks white sand beaches and a blue lagoon abundant with fish and living coral, and offers a prime location from which to witness the island&#8217;s stunning sunsets. When the trade winds blow, a massive swell from the Pacific Ocean crashes onto the reefs surrounding the area creating waves that attract surfers from around the world; the breaks are rated to be the fifth best in the world, and Uluwatu beach is only a ten minute walk from the villa. With the property located so close to the holy Pura Uluwatu, one of island&#8217;s nine mother temples, the site is spiritually inspiring and undeniably unique. The staffing is of luxury hotel level with restaurant-standard food, a live-in manager and butler service, all devoted to facilitating intimate service among private splendor.</p>
<div style="text-align: center"><img id="image164" alt="The Istana Bali" src="http://www.bali-villas.org/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/istana-uluwatu-bali_big.jpg" /></div>

<p>Set back forty meters from the cliff face, The Istana sits within a tremendous gated property and is composed of two swimming pools, a relaxation bale, a private guest house (containing the master bedroom), and a main house. Within the main house is a living room, dining room, entertainment room (known as the Dotcom room), and four identical bedroom suites. Both of the buildings are single-story and open-air with rich teakwood floors, inspiring a natural ambiance, while maintaining and accentuating the spectacular view. The overall style is a medley between understated modern architecture and traditional Indonesian detailing, with features that blend Indonesian materials and workmanship. The artwork represents a mixture of primitive art and antiques originating from Indonesia, keeping with the aura of tradition and style.</p>
<p>Ensuring the privacy and security of its guests, The Istana, which is Indonesian for â€˜Palace&#8217;, is surrounded by an imposing white wall, and it is accessed through a constantly manned massive wooden gate. Within, is a large parking area which accommodates many vehicles, facilitating hosting large groups and events such as weddings. Flamboyans and flame trees line the wall, providing shade, with flowering pink, white, and red oleander and fragrant lilac planted below. The modern kitchen, which is fitted with state of the art commercial grade equipment, is in this vicinity, set apart from the rest of the structures.</p>
<p><strong>Lotus water gardens</strong> flank the streamlined covered wooden walkway leading from the entrance into the main house, forming a straight line of sight leading all the way through the living room, over the central swimming pool, to the horizon. The colour of the pool water blends into the backdrop, merging within the mind&#8217;s eye, to that point that the pool becomes an extension of the Pacific Ocean that lies beyond it.</p>
<p><strong>The main garden</strong> is decorated with palms, heliconias and ferns, mixed with white flowering Spider lilies, Aturium, and dwarf lilacs, whilst the gnarled trunks of numerous frangipanis lead the view upward to their magnificent, flowering blooms. The tropical flora shades the side of the house and creates a privacy screen from parking area and kitchen, while the water-ponds serve to naturally cool the living room with the help of the south-easterly breezes.</p>
<p><strong>The walkway</strong> leads to the huge open-air living room, which overlooks this breathtaking estate. The living room is located at the center of the building, and the rich teak wood floors are accented by the eight-meter high, self-supported, exposed cathedral ceiling. Matching natural wood wardrobes, and a stunning U-shaped sofa bed surrounding a matching table enable the dÃ©cor to maintain a natural cozy interior, and a large white limestone carving, depicting the legendary establishment of Uluwatu, accents the right wall. The carving represents the arrival of the priest Pedanda Sakti Wawu Rauh, who, according to legend, came to Bali from Java riding on a Kaluwih tree leaf in A.D. 1546, and achieved Moksa, Hindu liberation, at the spot at which the temple was then established.</p>
<p><strong>The open view</strong> offers constantly changing natural lighting as the sun moves in the sky from dawn to dusk and into night. At night time, with tactfully placed ambient lighting accenting the villa&#8217;s design, one is immersed in the interior, and the villa becomes it&#8217;s own expansive private world.</p>
<p>Two symmetrical wings attached to the living room accommodate the bar and dining room to the left, and the Dotcom room to the right. Both rooms are slightly separated from the rest of the space, and are fully paneled internally and externally with teakwood, evoking a warm comfortable feel. The impressive dining room table consists of one solid slab of teakwood, and easily seats ten. This air-conditioned area is enclosed by four sets of swinging glass doors that can be opened if desired, and overlooks the lily gardens to one side, and the expanse of the ocean to the other. The specially designed lighting fixtures in the dining room offer an intimate atmosphere, complimented by the meditative sounds of the water feature in the garden.</p>
<p><strong>The bar area</strong> is connected to the dining room by a glass door, and from here one can look into the living room and out over the entire property. Chic barstools line the bar, offering a prime location to enjoy a refreshing cocktail.</p>
<p><strong>The Dotcom room</strong> is an enclosed air-conditioned space, which can be opened up if desired to overlook both the front and back of the estate. Dominating the room is a massive relaxation couch, which easily seats the capacity of the house, covered in Thai silk pillows, which faces the wide-screen projection TV and entertainment centre. Alcoves in the back feature desks and internet access, providing a convenient place to catch up with the outside world.</p>
<p>Four bedrooms are located down open corridors, two of which lead past the dining room, and two of which lead past the Dotcom room. Each suite entry is decorated with carved limestone blocks representing traditional Ikat weavings from the islands of Flores and Sumba.</p>
<p>Each of the four matching suites is comprised of a bedroom with a capacious walk-in closet, and indoor and outdoor Bali-style bathrooms. All of the bedroom walls are faced with timber paneling to mid-height with white sand wash on top, leading up to the high cathedral timber-lined ceilings with ceiling fans, and air-conditioning.</p>
<div style="text-align: center"><img alt="The Istana Bali" id="image177" src="http://www.bali-villas.org/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/istana_1.jpg" /></div>
<p><strong>The furniture in the bedrooms</strong> was designed especially for The Istana, as were the exquisite lighting fixtures, and are made exclusively of recycled teakwood. The dÃ©cor in each room is primarily the same, with differences in the color schemes. All of the bedrooms are walled on two sides by folding glass doors which open up to the private gardens in the case of the bedrooms facing the entrance of the property, and on the other side which open onto the ocean.</p>
<p><strong>Each bedrooms&#8217; ensuite bathroom</strong> is walled in white sandstone and feature bands of intricate designs in carved stone. All have huge teak-framed mirrors above twin vanities set in wood. The indoor showers have huge rain-heads, and are enclosed on two sides with glass but open to open-air private gardens with sunken bathtubs, allowing for immersion al fresco.</p>
<p><strong>The master bedroom</strong> is located within the guesthouse, which is separate from and slightly more elevated than, the main building, and set back so as to offer complete privacy. It has its own entrance way, parking facilities, and private swimming pool. The L-shape pool is two and a half meters deep and is faced with a black volcanic stone. It has its own outdoor shower and lounge chairs.</p>
<p><strong>The master bedroom/guesthouse</strong> which is built completely from wood is divided into a covered deck, private kitchenette, living area, and a bedroom with a expansive ensuite bathroom. The living area and bedroom both look out over the property, and are enclosed on either side by sliding louvered glass doors. A spectacular view of the ocean is provided from the massive ironwood bed which is the center piece of the room along with its palatial mosquito net. The bathroom is much like those in the main house; only it has both an indoor and outdoor shower. A large day bed sits on the deck and one can look directly out from over the private pool to the relaxation bale and the horizon behind.</p>
<p>Set near the cliff face adjacent to the property&#8217;s Hindu shrine, the relaxation bale is composed of a white, solid stone bench encircling a large wood table. This creates a luxurious setting, ideal for dining or just for sitting and relaxing. At sunset, the island&#8217;s volcanoes are silhouetted against northwestern skies, and form one of the most spectacular settings of anywhere in the world. During the night, fishing boats, carrying twinkles of light travel constantly across the vast expanse of ocean, provide for a magical, constantly changing backdrop.</p>
<p>The grounds of the property are in two levels. The upper level consists of a large grass lawn of thick, comfortable grass and two water gardens with fountains to either side of living room. Tall coconut palm trees create shaded areas without obstructing the sea view, and are lit at night, brushing the lawn, water features, and swimming pool with a serene glow.</p>
<p><strong>The thirty meter long swimming pool</strong> is set on this level, and offers a breathtaking side to side infinity line leading to the ocean background as the waters spill over the edge nearest the ocean. It is 2.4 meters deep at one end, and two meters deep at the other, and is faced with a green granite stone originating from West Java. Starting with the fashion of a spring bubbling, a backlit waterway aligned to the main axis of the building traces across the lawn leads into the pool and makes for a striking light show at night.</p>
<p>The lower level of the property consists of succulent ground cover and a meticulous sprawling lawn, lined along the cliff-side by five meters of spiky bougainvillea to dissuade any wanderers and to create a subtle contrast with the lawn. This large area is ideal for wedding parties or events.</p>
<p>For additional guest comfort and convenience, The Istana comes with a chauffeured vehicle service included in the price. The villa&#8217;s late model two litre luxury vehicle, which seats seven passengers, is fully air conditioned and features a VCD player with dual monitors and a mini fridge. The villa chauffeur is on standby for up to ten consecutive hours every day.</p>
<p><strong>Uluwatu</strong> is a powerful and awe-inspiring place, thus the elements of The Istana have been assembled so as to match the heritage of the site. The house blends modern and antique, with a European influence on an Oriental focus of style and detail. The natural materials and abundant usage of rich teakwood and ironwood throughout the house compliment this mix, and help the building merge well with the landscape, lush gardens, and incredible view. Combined with an extensive staff who provide a level of service unrivaled outside a luxury hotel, there is no parallel. A villa whose name means palace and fulfills every dimension of that description; The Istana is for those who deserve a truly regal experience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Villa Maridadi</strong> is a spacious 5-bedroom beachfront villa, located in the Canggu area just thirty minutes drive from the busy shops and nightlife of Seminyak and about forty-five minutes&#8217; drive from Bali&#8217;s International Airport. Most of the islandâ€™s tourist attractions are within easy access and the villa is close to the Nirwana Golf Course, designed by Greg Norman, and the famous Tanah Lot sea temple, one of the islandâ€™s most dramatic and venerated temples.</p>

<p><span id="more-35"></span></p>
<p>The approach to the villa is along a quiet winding road through the traditional village of Mengening. The narrow streets of this pretty Balinese village are surrounded by rice fields and punctuated by holy Banyan trees. A small intersection is the venue of a fruit and vegetable market and colourful temple ceremonies are a common sight.</p>
<p><strong>The Setting</strong><br />
The entrance to Villa Maridadi is equally time-honoured; fringed parasols flank an antique doorway and moss encrusted statues of Balinese gamelan musicians line the driveway. Built within the rice fields and boasting forty metres of beach frontage, the property is also blessed with panoramic views of the sweeping coastline and the distant volcanoes. The rugged Cemagi Beach is renowned for its world-class surf breaks, and the legendary sunsets here are among the best in Bali. The villa also overlooks the Hindu temple of Pura Bata Ngandang, perched on a rocky outcrop and lashed by the waves of the Indian Ocean.</p>
<p>Maridadi is set on 4050 square metres of land, and rests within a private walled garden complete with a 20 x 5 metre lap pool. The fresh green coastal lawns are dotted with fragrant frangipani trees and young palms; lobster claw heliconias hug the walls and in one corner, overlooking the beach, a raised balÃ© pavilion is a peaceful haven for chilling out with a book or a sunset cocktail. The smooth flat gardens are perfect for weddings or functions, and also provide a great play area for children. The swimming pool with sunloungers and a timber deck reaches a depth of 2.5 metres and has a toddlerâ€™s pool at the shallow end.</p>
<p><strong>Living and Dining Areas</strong><br />
The property is comprised of a number of separate thatched pavilions arranged symmetrically between the main two-storey building and the open living and dining pavilion. Constructed of local materials, the style is restful with a fresh cool dÃ©cor; and the modern fittings and fixtures are harmonised with antique furniture from India and Indonesia. Twin lotus ponds, linked by a central pathway and wooden walkways, complete the symmetry. Designed to maximise the ocean views, the magnificent 12 x 8 metre living and dining pavilion is cooled by natural sea breezes and large pendulous ceiling fans. Tall coconut wood pillars support the traditional â€˜alang alangâ€™ grass roof, and the pavilion is furnished with carved sideboards, a day bed, local artefacts and a beautiful three metre long antique dining table that seats twelve people. Ideal for entertaining and relaxing, this ample lounge has a quality music system with surround speakers in the ceiling. A covered walkway leads to the fully equipped service kitchen, which is located within a self-contained pavilion beside another lotus pond dominated by a white marble Buddha.</p>
<p>There are two further living rooms for the comfort of the guests. An air-conditioned indoor study, with a cosy cushioned window seat and large floor cushions, is located next door to the master bedroom and is provided with a cable TV and VCD/DVD player. A second casual living area is located upstairs in the main building. Sliding glass windows take full advantage of the awesome views, and this sizeable games room is furnished with colorful cushions, an antique Javanese daybed, a pool table, a multi-gym, and a large flat screen cable Television with VCD and Play Station system.</p>
<div style="text-align: center"><img id="image116" alt="Villa Maridadi Bali" src="http://www.bali-villas.org/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/room-115.jpg" /></div>
<p><strong>Bedrooms &#038; Bathrooms</strong><br />
The five bedrooms are all air-conditioned with the additional benefit of overhead ceiling fans and built in wardrobes. Each bedroom is at ground floor level and enjoys ocean views and the luxury of an en-suite garden bathroom. The master bedroom features teak-wood floors and sliding glass doors, which open on to an outdoor verandah furnished with daybeds and rattan chairs. Guests will be lulled to sleep by the constant murmur of the waves in an antique four-poster bed complete with diaphanous drapes. Each romantic garden bathroom is walled for privacy and is characterised an open-air shower, whimsical stone carvings and an impressive array of tropical plants and shrubs. The bathrooms adjoining the master bedroom and the two main guestrooms each have a large bathtub that is protected from the elements by a thatched roof. Following the symmetrical theme, the two guest pavilions are mirror images of each other, each one a self-contained pavilion with teak floors, sliding glass doors, a canopied bed, an open verandah, and a cream terrazzo bathroom suite within a pretty garden bathroom planted with peace lilies. The remaining two bedrooms, and their adjoining bathrooms, are located on the ground floor of the main building; each room is furnished with antique twin trundle beds, making them ideal for children.</p>
<p>Another large lawn to the north of the main building makes a great play area and is suitable for badminton or volley ball. A door in the wall leads to the villaâ€™s shared tennis court, and the staff quarters are situated near the main entrance. The beach is just a few metres away from the property, bordered by a track and a low cliff, and easily accessible. The currents are strong, however, and swimming is not recommended.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The impressive <strong>Villa Jembar Lawang</strong> is completely encompassed by emerald rice fields and is situated just a few minutes walk from the rugged beach at the ancient fishing village of Canggu on Baliâ€™s west coast. Built on 2,200 square metres of land, the property can sleep up to five couples, with four bedrooms and a spacious library that can also serve as a bedroom. The villa was designed by the acclaimed Balinese architect Popo Danes, who was recently honoured with the â€˜Indonesian Institute of Architectâ€™ award for his efforts in promoting contemporary Balinese architecture in its proper way.</p>
<div style="text-align: center"><img id="image100" alt="Villa Jembar Lawang Bali" src="http://www.bali-villas.org/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/villa-jembar-lawang-bali_bi.jpg" /></div>

5 Bedroom Villa = USD 500++ (low season) | USD 580++ / 650++ (hi / peak season)<br />
All rates are quoted in USD, <u>subject to 15% government tax &#038; service charge</u>, inclusive of refreshing welcome drinks upon arrival, daily Continental breakfast, and airport pick-up service. <u>Long term and last minute rates are available upon request.</u></p></blockquote>
<p><span id="more-34"></span></p>
<p>The style of the villa is contemporary and elegant; a group of eight or ten people can stay at the house, very comfortably, without encroaching on each othersâ€™ space. It was specifically designed to maximise the wonderful panoramic views, and offers the ultimate in private luxury for those who seek tranquillity combined with a high standard of service. Jembar Lawang means â€œlarge open door or gateâ€ in the Javanese language. It is an indirect expression for â€œwarm welcomeâ€, which is substantiated by the antique statues of a Javanese wedding couple, waiting to welcome the guests as they step over the threshold.</p>
<p>Indeed, guests entering the property for the first time, as they cross over a small ornamental pond, will have no idea what to expect behind the large front door. They will be surprised when they find that the doorway leads into a magnificent, semi-circular, open living area supported by towering Romanesque columns and harmonised by a cool terracotta tiled floor. Looking out over the flat green lawn and furnished with antique daybeds, a large dining table, and low antique retro tables, this is an ideal place for relaxing or socialising; perfect for a party, a reception or a lazy lunch. This imposing living area is the main focus of the property and is flanked on either side by corresponding two-storey wings, which accommodate the bedroom suites, the library, the entertainment room, two additional ground floor shower rooms, the kitchen and the laundry.</p>
<p>There are <strong>four double bedrooms</strong>, two in each wing, boasting spacious en-suite terrazzo bathrooms. The light and airy bedrooms also feature built-in wardrobes, chunky antique furniture, timber floors, picture windows and large sliding glass doors. One of the bedrooms has a romantic four-poster bed. The downstairs bedrooms are each complemented by a terrace overlooking the garden, and the upstairs bedrooms each feature a large stone balcony with an attractive balustrade, furnished with daybeds and enhanced by pots of bougainvillea and stunning views of the rice fields. Each of the en-suite bathrooms with its terrazzo fixtures, has its own distinct characteristics; some of the bathrooms are entered by stepping through beautiful old wooden doors and feature slate paved floors, bathtubs, and â€˜his and hersâ€™ washbasins; others feature open-air garden showers surrounded by pebbles and plants, another displays a carved white Palimanan stone frieze on the exterior wall.</p>
<p><strong>The library</strong>, which can also double as an <strong>additional bedroom</strong>, is situated upstairs and is furnished with an antique, hand-carved and canopied, ceremonial marriage bed. This room also features an en-suite bathroom and a large balcony; facing west, this is a place to enjoy beautiful sunsets and more of those spectacular views, accompanied by the sounds of cicadas, frogs and the distant murmur of the waves.</p>
<p><strong>The entertainment room</strong>, downstairs in the opposite wing of the villa, is a cosy snug where guests can relax in air-conditioned comfort with a satellite TV, DVD player, and a â€˜Boseâ€™ surround sound system.</p>
<p>Bulrush ponds border the villa, and the flat lawns of the walled garden are dotted with coconut trees, but the attractive grounds of the property are deliberately not crowded with plants and shrubs, therefore ensuring that it retains the feeling of space. An 18 x 4 metre infinity edge lap pool runs the width of the garden at the top end, sheltered by a grassy terrace. A thatched â€˜baleâ€™, a traditional Balinese relaxation pavilion, is situated on one side of the pool.</p>
<div style="text-align: center"><img id="image101" alt="Villa Jembar Lawang Bali" src="http://www.bali-villas.org/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/room-112.jpg" /></div>
<p><strong>The spacious kitchen</strong>, where the staff will prepare a wide range of delicious meals from an innovative menu, is fully equipped with wooden fitted cupboards and a modern stainless steel hob and oven. A laundry is situated at the back of the kitchen, and other practicalities, such as the staff quarters and the garage are taken care of in the service area beside the ample car park, leaving the remainder of the house free for the guests to enjoy.</p>
<p>The peaceful, coastal village of <strong>Canggu</strong> is set within a beautiful agricultural region located between Kuta and Tanah Lot. The area is home to some of the most luxurious private villas on the island, and is situated forty minutes from Baliâ€™s International Airport and fifteen minutes from one of the best golf courses in Asia. Remarkably laidback and undeveloped, this out of town setting offers the double attraction of being relatively close to everything that guests might need, while also offering visitors a privileged insight into the traditions of rural Bali. The local population make their living from fishing and farming; ducks are herded through the rice fields, the sound of gamelan music is carried on the breeze, and religious ceremonies are an integral part of daily life. The sweeping beach is renowned for its panoramic coastline views and legendary sunsets. It has some world-class surf breaks but the currents are strong and it is dangerous for swimming. The trendy Seminyak area, a mere twenty minutes drive away, offers wide choice of international restaurants, chic cocktail bars, exciting nightclubs, lavish spas and elegant shops. The nearby Nirwana Golf Course, designed by Greg Norman, is close to the famous Tanah Lot sea temple â€“ one of the islandâ€™s most dramatic and venerated temples, perched on a craggy wave-lashed rock just at the edge of the frothing white surf and glistening black shoreline. Guests staying at Villa Jembar Lawang will also enjoy Hotel Tugu, situated a few minutes walk away, beside the beach at Canggu. The hotel is a living museum of priceless antiques and rare cultural artifacts, and it also offers the attractions of fine dining together with the facilities of a delightful spa.</p>
<p><strong>Party Facilities At Villa Jembar Lawang</strong><br />
The extensive open space within the secluded garden, combined with the grandiose of the living area, makes Villa Jembar Lawang the ideal tropical setting for parties, weddings, reunion celebrations, barbeques and other functions. The sizeable modern kitchen provides the staff with the equipment and facilities to cater for a wide variety of events and a large number of guests. Special events can also be coordinated by professional outside caterers who have the world-class expertise to prepare a sumptuous feast at the villa, in addition to the coordination of decorations, flowers, lighting, sound systems and entertainment. A small family group can be indulged with a sizzling barbeque beside the pool at sunset. The poolside bale can be set up as an alfresco dining pavilion, guests can spill out onto the patio, and the elevated terrace behind the pool can be utilized as a stage for Balinese dance performances. The open-air living area is perfect for a cocktail reception, and the garden is large enough to comfortably accommodate up to one hundred guests. A car and driver are available at an additional cost.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Villa Atas Ombak</strong>, Indonesian for &#8220;<strong>Villa On The Waves</strong>&#8220;, is directly located on the beach only a few kilometers north of Legian. Featuring breathtaking views of Bali&#8217;s famous sunsets, the Villa was completed in mid-1995 and encompasses an acre and a half of garden area, with over 100 meters of beach frontage. It also includes a large swimming pool, a main building with three bedrooms, a large entertainment pavilion that functions as an open-air living room, and a separate guesthouse containing another two bedrooms. Located far enough away from the tourist crowds to ensure total privacy, this villa is still close enough to offer easy access to Bali&#8217;s favorite shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues.</p>
