Full Description: The contemporary-styled Villa Asante, complete with four bedrooms and a
swimming pool, is located just 200 metres from the beach in the fishing village
of Canggu on Bali 's southwest coast.
Designed by international architect Ross Franklin, with interiors by Dean
Kempnich, this delightful property is a study in perfect symmetry, comprised of
three buildings set within an expansive walled garden, together with a 20 x 12
metre lap pool and ‘bale' relaxation pavilion. The main two-storey building
incorporates the bedrooms and a cosy TV room, while the two, single-storey,
open-sided pavilions house the living room, and the dining area and kitchen. The
villa property is ideal for families or groups of friends. There are plenty of
relaxation areas, so guests will always find a private spot for peace and quiet,
with a choice of air-conditioned comfort or tropical open-air living.
Bedrooms
Two of the bedrooms are positioned downstairs and two are positioned upstairs,
following the symmetrical design of the villa. Each presents a cool terrazzo
floor, ceiling lights and white walls adorned with local artwork. Three of the
bedrooms are furnished with king-size beds, while the fourth bedroom is
furnished with twin, trundle beds, which sleep up to four kids as each bed
incorporates a spare bed that rolls under the main frame. Other furnishings
include built-in wardrobes, ottomans, desks and bedside tables, complemented by
reading lamps and colour-themed cushions in rich silk fabrics. Sliding glass
doors open from the upstairs bedrooms on to a wide balcony, furnished with a
daybed and presenting lovely views of the garden, the neighbouring rice fields
and the sea. Each bedroom, complete with private en-suite bathroom, is equipped
with individually controlled air-conditioning, a ceiling fan, a safe deposit
box, DVD/CD player and flat screen TV with satellite channels.
Bathrooms
The four en-suite bathrooms are characterised by non-slip acid marble floors and
creamy-white Palimanan stone walls. Each features a walk-in rain shower and
toilet behind glass doors, twin washbasins and wall mirrors. Additionally, the
two generously-sized downstairs bathrooms are each complemented by courtyard
gardens planted with travellers' palms and shrubs. When the glass doors are
opened the interior becomes one with nature. Surrounded by walls, these romantic
garden bathrooms are totally private. In addition to an indoor standing rain
shower, each features an outdoor rain shower, sheltered by a roof for an
alfresco showering experience. Inside each downstairs bathroom, bordered by
three walls of gleaming glass, is a dreamy oversized terrazzo bathtub fitted
with a handheld shower. A guest washroom is located downstairs behind the dining
pavilion.
Services
The villa is supported by a carefully selected team of highly trained, friendly
staff who will do their best to ensure that their guests experience a truly
enjoyable stay in Bali. The team is headed by a villa manager who will oversee
and coordinate the staff and property, and is available to assist guests during
their stay. The team also includes a chef, housekeepers, a gardener/pool
attendant and security guards. The chef is trained in the preparation of both
local and international cuisine, and is responsible for all the market shopping,
in accordance with the needs and the whims of the guests. The housekeepers will
arrange for the daily laundry service. A driver and car is available, inclusive
of price, 10 hours per day. Baby-sitting and massage services are also available
on request at an extra charge.
Entrance
The property is accessed via a private driveway leading into a secure car
parking area, complete with a covered car port. The front door opens onto broad
stepping stones that appear to float upon a fish pond flanked by flowering
heliconia.
The entrance hall is furnished with an antique circular marble table and guarded
by four Balinese goddess statues positioned in alcoves in the wall. The inner
hallway is an atrium, fitted out as a library with a large shelf unit, a desk,
and a huge wall mirror that cleverly doubles the sense of space. The villa
provides WiFi Internet access for guests who bring their own laptop computers.
Living Pavilion
The Living Pavilion presents open air living at its very best. Open on three
sides with a cream terrazzo floor under a soaring shingle roof, the pavilion is
illuminated by mood lighting, adorned with colourful artwork, and cooled by
natural breezes and ceiling fans.
It is furnished with deeply cushioned segmented sofas, a coffee table and shelf
units. Hidden behind cupboard doors is a 42” satellite channel TV and DVD/CD
player together with a Bose sound system.
Dining Pavilion
Stepping stones across an ornamental pond link the Living Pavilion with the
open-sided Dining Pavilion and Kitchen.
The spacious dining area is cooled by ceiling fans and furnished with a teakwood
dining table for twelve. It is linked to the open-plan kitchen by a wide service
bar complete with bar chairs.
Kitchen
The designer kitchen reveals a discriminating taste for functional beauty and
cutting-edge style.
Crafted in white with a central island and ample storage space, it is fully
equipped with an imported oven and hob, and everything else that the chef needs
in order to prepare delicious meals, in accordance with the whims of his guests.
TV Room
The cosy, air-conditioned TV Room, fitted with ceiling fan and pivot windows, is
positioned centrally upstairs.
It is furnished with comfortable upholstered sofas, low tables, lamps, and a
television cabinet with a flat screen 42” TV with satellite channels and a
DVD/CD player.
Swimming Pool & Garden
The 20 x 12 metre swimming pool is linked to an ornamental pool to create a
T-shaped feature, which ensures that two sides of each of the twin, open-air,
living and dining pavilions are bordered by water. Beside the pool is a timber
deck furnished with six sunbeds and sunbrellas, while centrally positioned
poolside is a big, open-sided ‘bale' relaxation pavilion with a cushioned floor.
The walled garden is planted with fragrant frangipani trees, travellers' palms
and a line of coconut palms. The flat velvety lawn covers a sizeable area and is
ideal for outdoor games or as a venue for Balinese dance performances, parties
or weddings. The modern kitchen provides the staff with the equipment and
facilities to cater for a variety of small functions. 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.
Location
Villa Asante is located in the fishing village of Canggu, just 5 minutes' walk
from the rugged beach, which is renowned for its world-class surf breaks. The
locality is dotted with some of the most impressive villas on the island and the
view is enhanced on clear days by the magical sight of Bali 's mountains. This
out of town setting offers the double attraction of being close to the shops and
restaurants of Seminyak, while also presenting a fascinating insight into the
traditions of rural Bali. Cows are herded through the fields, rice is planted
and harvested throughout year, and the sound of ritual music is carried on the
breeze.
The Beach House Restaurant, 200 metres from the villa at Echo Beach, is the
place where the local community gathers in the evenings to watch the legendary
sunsets. A variety of eating areas and tables spill out onto a beachside buff;
there is a comprehensive international menu, together with a daily barbeque of
fresh fish, lobster, giant prawns, clams, steaks, kebabs etc. Live music,
performed by accomplished local bands, takes place on Sunday evenings, starting
at around sunset. This is great social scene, it can get very busy and lively,
and the smaller local warungs (eateries) beside the Beach House, accommodate the
overflow of customers.
The trendy Seminyak area, with its wide choice of international restaurants
including the famous ‘Ku Dé Ta', ‘Kafé Warisan', ‘Living Room', ‘Hu'u', ‘La
Lucciola', ‘Sarong' and Blossom-together with a plethora of chic cocktail bars,
exciting nightclubs, lavish spas and elegant boutiques, is 20 minutes' drive
away.
The location offers easy access up to the mountains and rice terraces on the
western slopes of the island; it is one hour's drive from the famous cultural
and artistic town of Ubud, and just 20 minutes' drive from the Sunset Route,
gateway to the eastern side of the island. It is also convenient for all of Bali
's shopping malls and main tourist attractions. The international airport is 30
minutes' drive. Easily accessible sporting amenities include the ‘Canggu Club',
offering a state-of-the art gym, a 25-metre swimming pool and a tennis & squash
centre. The nearby ‘Nirwana Bali Golf Course' was designed by Greg Norman, and
was voted the number 1 golf course in Asia; it is situated beside the dramatic,
waved-lashed sea temple of Tanah Lot. For horse lovers, the ‘Umalas Equestrian
Centre' is just a few kilometres away.
Guests staying at Villa Asante may also enjoy visiting Hotel Tugu, situated a
