The Setting
The property is entered via a traditional Balinese gate, sheltered by a thatched roof and framed in a patchwork of random rocks. A pathway leads past bulrush ponds and water spouts, and a welcome ensemble of five gamelan musicians hand-carved out of local paras stone. Stepping stones weave through the neat garden, past palm trees, dwarf lanterns, tipsy earthenware pots and sweet scented frangipani, between twin lotus ponds stocked with fish, to the 9 x 6 metre stand-alone living pavilion, which is centrally positioned, facing the ocean and bordering the pool deck. This room is completely encompassed by glass to preserve the view through the garden; the clever design allows guests to completely fold back the doors to create an open-air pavilion, cooled by natural breezes and ceiling fans. Bamboo blinds on all four sides can be dropped for privacy and shade. Featuring a cool terrazzo floor, the room is tastefully furnished with deeply-cushioned sofas, a low coffee table and stylish lamps. A selection of games and magazines is provided for the use of the guests, together with a high quality music system with surround sound provided by speakers hidden in the roof.

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.

The Setting
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.

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 balé 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 toddler’s pool at the shallow end.

Living and Dining Areas
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 décor; 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 ‘alang alang’ 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.

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.

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.

Another large lawn to the north of the main building makes a great play area and is suitable for badminton or volley ball.
