Villa Bunga Desa

Situated ocean front in Batubelig, behind a secluded lagoon, proudly sit the Bunga Desa Villas. They boast styles and flavors from the gamut of the Indonesian archipelago.

Rice-fields coyly play in the wind to the other side of the estate, and make this property one to be enjoyed by nature lovers and those drawn to the spirit of the island of Bali. The idyllic location of the estate, with its escapist feel from the busyness of downtown Kuta, Seminyak, and Oberoi, is ideally complimented by being only five minutes away from all the comforts of the luxury spas, five star restaurants, and thriving night-life that the area has to offer.

Comprised of four main structures, the Bunga Desa Villas have been designed by their French owner to recreate the feeling of Indonesia that was to be had decades ago. At the same time all of the modern comforts and conveniences one could possibly seek are provided, including imported kitchen appliances, and an ever present but never imposing staff. All of the bedrooms are equipped with air-conditioning, ceiling fans, mosquito nets, safes, telephones with internet access, and complete entertainment centers with surround sound.

Each villa in the estate boasts open living areas, tactfully situated for optimum views of the stunning scenery, yet all of the villas are fully protected from the elements. Every detail is immaculately taken into account. Promoting a feel of antiquity, the estate makes tasteful use of many of the prolific natural resources Indonesia has to offer, including bamboo, alang-alang (thatch), serap (ironwood), terrazzo, terracotta, palimanan stone, and benkrai wood. The furniture and decorations are composed of museum quality art and artifacts from Indonesia.

The grounds of the estate are covered in lush tropical gardens and a manicured lawn. Timor statues stand guard over a 12×4 meter overflow pool and accompanying relaxation bale. Fruit trees of every variety speckle the property, and tucked to one corner is a thriving vegetable garden, which provides fresh produce for your meals. If you prefer to swim or surf in the sea, a private bamboo raft is provided to ferry you over the small lagoon to the secluded beach.

The staff includes 24-hour security guards to ensure your safety, maids, and cook for meal preparation. For extra fees, services including baby-sitting, chauffeur, and massages can be arranged.

Accommodation

A serap roof covers the main traditional structure, Villa Toraja, adding strong currents of style from Sulawesi. The first floor is wholly open, and the dramatic high ceiling is carried on the pillars of a traditional Javanese Joglo. A cozy TV sitting area is nestled to one side, and the dining room table that seats 12 is situated as to overlook the lush tropical garden grounds and Indian Ocean. The partially exposed, fully equipped modern kitchen allows for flexibility in usage, whether guests would like to cook socially for themselves, or to be served by the hidden hands of the talented staff. A guest bathroom sits off to one side for convenience.

Divided from the living area by a water pond and stepping stones is the first floor master bedroom. It is fitted with a king size canopy bed, antique teak daybed, and its own private terrace. A walk-in wardrobe, and an ensuite open-air bathroom are added highlights. Bathing Balinese women overlook the luxury bathtub from a stunning limestone carving.

The upstairs master bedroom smells of rich dark wood, setting a romantic feel to mesh perfectly with the gorgeous sea view. Sunsets can be enjoyed by reclining in the fantastic king-sized Timor bed, over which hangs a rich hand-woven tapestry. An open terrace, ensuite bathroom, and separate study compose the additional living areas of this room. An intricately carved sofa bed is present to easily facilitate the conversion of the study into an additional sleeping area.

The first floor of the Villa Timor is dedicated to one large bedroom with its own private terrace overlooking the grounds. The terracotta floor adds richness to the room, complimented by the king-sized canopy bed. Shell-inlay doors lead to the open-air bathroom, complete with a small garden. Tactfully hidden under the teakwood TV stand is a mini-fridge. Indonesian puppets stand poised above.

On the second floor, the first room consists of an open living area with a Madura daybed and kitchenette. From this space, you can take in the sea air while resting in total privacy, or you can retreat into the bedroom. Two single canopy beds have been specially designed to easily convert into a single king-sized bed, for added versatility. An ensuite bathroom leaves nothing lacking.

Villa Irian, the guesthouse on the grounds, is set apart from the other villas to offer a complete retreat to privacy. This round building, topped with a high alang-alang roof, houses one bedroom and its own private ensuite open-air bathroom. The queen-sized bed is covered with brilliant batik linens, adding a spice of color to the room. A large day-bed is ideal for a mid-day siesta, or to put a child to rest. From the private terrace, you can overlook the flourishing rice fields and the blooming lotus garden set to the far corner of the grounds.

Set amidst the huge lotus pond is one of the three relaxation bales of the estate. A small bamboo bridge takes you from dry land to the center of the water garden, and from here you can take in three-hundred and sixty degrees of serenity. Balinese still patiently work the rice fields to the north, and the Prahu, boats of the local fishermen, glide by in the sea after the sun slowly rises to the south. This is an ideal location from which to enjoy a massage. If it takes your fancy, grab a fishing pole and catch one of the fish in the pond for a fresh meal.

A separate structure, Villa Lombok is modeled after a traditional Balinese rice barn. A brick-style kitchen with marble, terrazzo counters makes up the open first floor. The bathroom of this villa is behind the kitchen. A high staircase leads to a private open terrace, and to the bedroom beyond, all of the furnishings of which are created from bamboo. Two single canopy beds push together to form a single king. A bamboo ladder leads to a secret doorway, opening up to a second private terrace, specifically for the purposes of sea-view meditation.

To the back corner of the estate sits the manager house and a 10×4 meter swimming pool and relaxation bale.

For guests seeking to recapture the feel of a lost time with the added comforts of modern luxury conveniences, the Bunga Desa Villas offer a magical retreat with meditative purpose, surrounded in the abundance of natural beauty native to Bali.
