Full Description: Under the rustling of palm trees, serenaded by the hypnotic rhythm of the
breaking waves, Villa Bangkuang offers a unique Bali experience within a luxury
home. Gone are the towering walls that bar nature and encroach upon the soul.
This grand seaside villa, consisting of two separate pavilions, opens to an
unobstructed horizon of ocean, lush rice fields, coconut groves, and mountain
views. One slight turn from the trodden path, the breath is captured by these
unparalleled vistas.
Separated by a gurgling stream, the distance between the two pavilions offers
privacy and gracious space for its four stylish bedrooms. Whether with a group
of friends, couples or families, guests have the option to retreat and luxuriate
in their senses.
Nestled within the comfort of a small Balinese village, guests of all ages
surrender to the care of the Villas professional and attentive staff. Pack
lightly, for parents can rely upon the extremely child-oriented amenities and
services. Families are instantly released from the hectic schedules of daily
life, and parents can start to fully enjoy their precious time and surroundings.
Hidden away in the traditional Balinese village of Sogsogan, near Seseh, on
Bali’s southwest coast, Villa Bangkuang rests within a coconut grove garden,
unbroken by borders and fences, just a few hundred metres from a rugged surf
beach.
The property was not built for business purposes; instead it is the realisation
of a dream, a genuine home, lovingly designed to accommodate and fulfill the
needs of a western family that has chosen to take holidays in Bali. Villa
Bangkuang therefore merges the uniqueness of a comfortable private home with the
indulgence of sumptuous vacation accommodation. Interior spaces display the
idiosyncratic charm of an owner-decorated residence, imparting a restful,
lived-in ambience from the very first day of occupancy.
The layout of the property utilises space, offering a captivating mix of luxury,
recreation and privacy. Indeed, a group of eight people could stay here and
still lose one other in the depths. Designed to blend with the environment and
constructed with high quality local materials including creamy-white Palimanan
stone, teak, bengkirai wood and ulin shingle, Villa Bangkuang combines
traditional Balinese architectural elements with contemporary flair,
counterpointing the lush external environment and presenting tropical living at
its very best.
Accommodation in relaxation
Villa Bangkuang is comprised of a main two-storey main building, an open-sided
lounging and dining pavilion, and a separate two-bedroom guest pavilion. The
style is calming, with a fresh cool décor; the modern fittings, fixtures and
clean crisp design is harmonised with antique artifacts.
Flanked by ornamental ponds and guarded by a pair of griffin fountain-statues,
the living pavilion overlooks the pool and is shaded from both the morning and
afternoon sun. It is tastefully furnished with a dining table and chairs,
seagrass sofas and ottomans. The comfort of the guests is ensured by yielding
cushions and paddle ceiling fans. A hidden office-styled library is fitted with
shelves and a desk. A compact, well-stocked bar and fully equipped, homely
kitchen with glassless windows provides all the necessary dining and
entertainment amenities.
There are four spacious air-conditioned bedrooms at Villa Bangkuang, each with
an en-suite bathroom, a DVD player and a safe deposit box. The master suite,
complete with full-length balcony, covers the whole of the upper floor,
overlooking the garden and rice fields stretching infinitely towards the ocean.
Characterised by a polished parquet floor and a soaring roof, the romantic
bedroom is furnished with a king-size, four-poster bed swathed in snowy netting.
Floor-to-ceiling glass windows slide open on three sides, presenting guests with
the choice of air-conditioned comfort or a semi-alfresco sleeping experience,
cooled by a ceiling fan and lulled by the distant sound of the waves. The room
is equipped with a satellite channel TV and DVD player, and the large adjoining
dressing area is fitted with wardrobes and storage space. The en-suite bathroom,
with a sunken tub for two, twin washbasins and a standing raindrop shower, is
bordered by glass walls, a small balcony and a thicket of trees, capturing the
feeling of being in the jungle.
Downstairs, another spacious bedroom-suite proves to be an ideal space for kids,
with a queen-size bed, sofa, TV/DVD, and a play area. Glass doors open into a
pebbled courtyard bathroom, fitted with twin washbasins and rainshower,
surrounded by tall trees and walls for privacy.
Facilities
The guest pavilion is situated some distance from the main pavilion and pool,
affording significant privacy. Two self-contained bedrooms, with king-size beds
and open-air en-suite bathrooms, can accommodate four adults. Timber walls,
window seats, lazy chairs and cushions create a cosy, chalet-like mood; glass
doors open to a shared verandah, which literally overhangs the gently swaying
fields of rice. Fly screens ensure bug-free nights, while the gorgeous bathrooms
feature dreamy tubs, pebbled floors and rainshowers that are open to the sky.
The garden complements the native vegetation behind the pavilions and the
dazzling rice fields to the front with a smooth, manicured lawn, where the 17 x
5 metre swimming pool appears to overflow into infinity. Sunloungers and shady
umbrellas, together with an indulgent poolside bar, make this a very relaxing
area in which to hang out. An old rudder from a traditional jukung fishing boat
makes an interesting sculpture, while a flowering shrub adds a striking splash
of colour. The coconut grove garden, dotted with frangipani blossoms, extends to
a narrow brook, traversed by a wooden bridge, which separates the guest pavilion
from the common area. A shaded platform, known as a ‘bale’ and used for lounging
and chatting in a Balinese village, is here raised to new heights—treetop level,
in fact. This elevated, thatched pavilion is open to cooling tropical breezes on
the hottest of days, and affords a sweeping vista of the rice fields, mountains,
and sea. In another corner of the garden a traditional ‘jineng’ rice barn
presents the perfect spot for a pampering indulgent massage.
It is this abundance of space and natural beauty that makes Villa Bangkuang the
perfect venue for weddings and small events; guests can spill out on to the
smooth manicured lawns, which are also ideal for barbeques and Balinese cultural
performances.
At night the villa takes on a different persona with cleverly arranged lighting
softly illuminating the trees. As the chirruping cicadas finish their day shift,
guests will be serenaded by a chorus of frog song. Numerous trails offer
memorable walks and visitors will have the opportunity to witness time-honoured
methods of agriculture before tasting the produce of the land.
Villa Bangkuang is an ideal choice for those looking for modern luxury in
tranquil surroundings; an enchanting retreat where guests can enjoy a relaxing
experience with personalised service. In fact, Villa Bangkuang will continue to
enchant guests, and its magic will follow them, long after they’ve left the
island.
Services
Villa Bangkuang is supported by a cherished ‘family’ of friendly staff who
fulfil their duties with enthusiasm and smiles. They are never intrusive, yet
are always there to ensure that their guests experience a truly enjoyable stay
in Bali. Their genuine enthusiasm, warmth, and service from the heart is
charming, modest and unassuming.
The team is headed by a Kadek Santri, the villa manager. She is always on hand
to oversee and coordinate the staff and property, and to assist guests during
their stay. Mundri, the cook, is trained in the preparation of both local and
international cuisine, and is responsible for all the market shopping, in

housekeeping duties while also taking care of the daily laundry. Wayan and Pak
Agus are the night security guards. Their duties are to guard the villa to
ensure your security and safety. Dewa is the gardener; he has looked after the
gardens since the villa was first built. Finally, Komang is the pool attendant.
Baby-sitting and massage services and the facilities of a car and driver are
also available on request at an extra charge. The team also includes an in-house
concierge service; Kadek Edu, with her quiet efficiency and profound knowledge
of the locale, is responsible for booking restaurants, organising tours,
