This luxury 5 bedrooms villa location in Canggu with tropical
jungle surround and bordering the river, Villa Umah di Beji is
a magnificent tranquil villa of exceptional aesthetic appeal.
Five building structures housing the five delicious king-sized
suites are creatively set amidst the mature garden and numerous
water features, surrounding the rectangular “bath“ (beji) swimming
pool. This villa is without doubt one of the finest examples of
five star accommodation available in Bali today.
All rooms have air and fan conditioning and many entertainment
centres and safety deposit boxes are located around the property.
The size and design of the grounds has provided many secluded
seating areas making this villa the perfect location for groups
of friends or family to congregate together or enjoy private holiday
time.
The first building is the main living space, an elongated wall-less
bale (Balinese gazebo). This space encompasses a ten-seat dining
table centered below a gorgeous teak chandelier with drooping candles,
and an eclectic mix of lounging areas. Adorned with an array of
antique pieces from Lombok and tasteful modern wall hangings,
this bale is the ideal location for entertaining large or small
groups of guests. The state of the art kitchen is intelligently
located in this building so staff can easily attend to every gastronomic
whim of guests.
The master suite is enclosed in a private structure at the
edge of the property with a wooden deck atop the riverbank and
a comfortable daybed for guests to restfully enjoy this natural
retreat. The interior of the suite is the epitome of modern Chinese
luxury. The room focuses around the enormous bed which is headed
by a full length floral wall hanging framed by dark teak beams
and a beautiful example of Chinese ceramic work. Overlooking the
river is a corner lounge area with soft furnishings and a study
room, where there is an impressive vase collection set in built-in
wall boxes and a striking golden Buddha lamp.
In keeping with the overall style of the villa, water plays
a key role in the opulent design of the en-suite bathroom. The
focal point of the sumptuous garden surround is a teak bale housing
a sunken natural stone bathtub flanked by male and female helper
statues.
A rectangular lotus pond with stepping stone access surrounds
the bale. There is also a shower room, lawn area for private sunbathing
and a separate decked bale, ideal for Ti Chi or meditation.
The second and third bedrooms share an outdoor lounge with
natural furnishings and immaculate gardens. Both rooms also boast
private terraces, including a breakfasting terrace in bedroom
three. The white washed rooms host examples of Indonesian batik
designs and stamps. The second bedroom has a mosquito canopied
king sized bed mounted on a teak platform and lavished with layers
of white cushions. The third bedroom is of similar design with
twin beds. Sandwiched between the Oriental minimalist opaque glass
doors of the bedrooms and en-suites, are dressing rooms with sunken
square basins. The symmetrical en-suites are exceptional examples
of al fresco bathrooms with sunken tubs and gargoyle showerheads.
The fourth building has a sumptuous four-poster bed and the
interior design combines a mixture of woods and natural fiber
furnishings. The en-suite has an outdoor shower and pristine gardens.
The structure housing bedroom five has ornate Balinese carved
doors, a private seating deck overlooking the river valley and
an outdoors en-suite bathroom. Furnishings include a teak four-poster
and an antique mounted Javanese mask set on the writing desk.
An informal dining bale (Balinese gazebo) complete with a dining/games
table and daybed is the final teak structure positioned atop the
river bank and is a great spot for afternoon drinks and repose.
The 15m x 5m infinity edged pool tastefully blends into the
garden surround and is fronted by a smaller pool complete with
gargoyle fountains, that resembles the royal hot springs found
elsewhere in Bali. Following patterned pathways leading around
the landscaped grounds, guests will discover many delightful secluded
spots and examples of both Buddhist and Balinese Hindu statues.
Villa Umah di Beji is an excellent base for holiday rest or
exploration of Bali. The villa encompasses the very essence of
luxury. The combination of interior and exterior attention to
detail, an eye for quality art and creative flair make this perfectly
maintained villa a first class choice for a vacation in Bali.
