Full Description: Perfectly situated 100 metres from Batubelig Beach, 30 minutes from the airport
and 10 minutes from the boutiques, restaurants and nightlife of Seminyak, the
elegant Villa Joss embraces all the comforts and glamour of modern tropical
living while preserving an exotic atmosphere and distinctive Balinese charm.
Designed by one of Bali’s premier architects, the quality of the design and
craftsmanship is evident throughout, making ample use of leather, recycled teak
and other beautiful organic materials, as well as a remarkable collection of
fine art and Majapahit period stone carvings, to capture the style and spirit of
Bali. The entranceway and 16-metre swimming pool are the settings for dramatic
stone carvings of seated and reclining Buddha figures set against Indian slate
waterfalls.
Completed in August 2010, the contemporary Balinese architecture of Villa Joss
features a living room and dining room pavilion, a four bedroom pavilion, an
entertainment room and business centre, and an open air ‘bale’ lounge pavilion
in the spacious gardens with a 16-metre swimming pool and outdoor Jacuzzi. The
architect’s other work can be seen in some of Seminyak’s finest venues including
Ku De Ta. Villa Joss is actually named after the owner’s daughter.
The fine art traditions of Bali have been highlighted with care in
Bali Villa Joss.
Upon entering the main gate, guests are greeted by a stone relief carving of
Balinese Gamelan musicians which dates back to the Majapahit Kingdom’s retreat
from Java to Bali in the 1500’s. The original carving is found in one of Bali’s
oldest temples, Pura Dalem in Desa Singepadu Tengah, and was reproduced at Villa
Joss by a family of artisans from Batu Bulan, the most famous stone-carving
village in Bali. The gorgeous entrance to Villa Joss involves a covered walkway
bordered by lotus ponds with Koi fish; all draped in a hanging garden of green
vines leading up to a serene seated stone Buddha set against a cascading
waterfall. The bedrooms and living spaces of Villa Joss showcase beautiful fine
art paintings and limited-edition litho prints by some of Indonesia’s best-known
artists. Each bathroom features a stone relief carving detailing different
aspects of the main temple carving inside the main gate.
The walled garden and graceful interiors offer an abundance of space, natural
light and separate places to relax. Children can enjoy a BOSE surround sound
movie on the 48" flat screen TV in the entertainment pavilion while one group of
adults enjoy some reading in the living room, and another group of adults
lounge, surf the internet or watch sports on the 45" flat screen TV in the
garden 'bale'. The pool deck is punctuated with big pots of flowering lotus. The
interiors of the villa have been lovingly furnished, accented with colour and
completed with delightful attention to detail.
The owners have made every effort to employ ‘Green Friendly’ technologies in the
construction of Villa Joss including low energy lighting and a combination of
solar and low energy convection water heating systems. Similarly, with the
exception of certain high end imported fittings and equipment that were not
available in Indonesia, every effort was made to use local materials and
craftsmen. All furniture was locally made in Bali and Java.
Accommodation
There are four bedroom suites with polished teak floors and cabinetry in the
two-storey sleeping pavilion. Three are furnished with king size beds and one
with twin beds (which can be put together with a specially designed top
mattress). Each has an ensuite bathroom, as well as a spacious dressing area
with plenty of hanging space. Each bedroom is equipped with a 42”
satellite-channel flat screen TV plus a DVD player (upon request),
air-conditioning, ceiling fan, safe deposit box and WiFi internet connection.
The bedroom walls are adorned with beautiful original paintings by famous
Indonesian artists.

dining table with white metal legs and matching white leather strap recycled
teak chairs. The other side is designed for relaxing on a large U-shaped
cushioned sitting and sleeping area. A 45” flat screen TV is positioned up on

Location
Villa Joss is nestled in the heart of the Batubelig area, on Bali’s
south-western coast just 100 metres from the beach, 30 minutes from the
international airport (depending on traffic) and 10 minutes’ drive from the
trendy Seminyak area, with its glamorous lifestyle. It is only 10 minutes from
the west end of the Sunset Road, a speedy bypass route from the airport. There
are a number of simple warungs (eateries) within easy walking distance of Villa
Joss and it is just down the street from the famous Métis fine dining restaurant
and the equally famous but more casual Naughty Nuri’s Warung barbeque rib house.
Batubelig Beach is quiet and peaceful, while Seminyak Beach is much busier and a
fun place for people watching. All along this coastline the waves are huge and
the domain of the surfers. The expansive beach is a place where the local and
expatriate communities gather every evening to enjoy Bali’s legendary sunsets
and where guests may chance upon Balinese Hindu ceremonies involving offerings
cast into the sea. Seminyak and the neighbouring area of Petitenget boast a
plethora of chic cocktail bars, exciting nightclubs, sumptuous spas, fashionable
boutiques and famous restaurants including Ku De Ta, Nutmegs at Hu’u, La
Lucciola, Sarong and Sardine.
Villa Joss is conveniently located close to all of the main shopping malls,
Waterbom Park, and many other tourist attractions. The location offers easy
access up to the mountains and rice terraces on Bali’s western slopes. It is
just over one hour’s drive from the famous cultural and artistic town of Ubud,
and just 10 minutes’ drive from the west end of the Sunset Road, gateway to the
island. The nearby ‘Nirwana Bali Golf Course’ was designed by Greg Norman, and
voted the number one golf course in Asia. It is also situated near the dramatic,
waved-lashed sea temple of Tanah Lot. For horse lovers, the ‘Umalas Equestrian
Centre’ is just a few kilometres away.
