Villa Karang Kembar 2’ is a dazzling, 4-bedroom Bali villa (plus a small children’s bedroom), complete with 15 x 5 m infinity-edge swimming pool. Perched upon a clifftop, 90 metres above the pristine Kutuh Beach and the rolling surf of southern Bali, this Bali villa commands an easterly aspect, ensuring glorious sunrise views across the Indian Ocean and the neighbouring Nusa Penida Island.

The contemporary design of this Bali villa takes advantage of the topography, using the surroundings and magnificent view as a support for the architectural concept. Veering away from tradition, the flat roofs, Palimanan stone walls and white interiors ooze a profound sense of calm, privacy and seclusion. The villa is fitted with WiFi Internet access and personal safe deposit boxes.

Living & Dining Room

The air-conditioned Living & Dining Room is incorporated within a central pavilion, a rectilinear, glass-walled edifice that reflects the grand sense of scale. Floor-to-ceiling, folding glass doors can be opened to the views, the sea and the sky, catching the coastal breezes, or alternatively closed for air-conditioned comfort. The living area is furnished with wicker sofas, chairs, bean bags, standard lamps and a coffee table, and is equipped with a large flat screen satellite TV, DVD and music system and surround sound speakers. The dining area presents a dining table for ten with comfy chairs beside which a pair of Javanese statues rest in twin alcoves. A guest washroom is situated adjacent to the dining area.

Kitchen

The immaculate, designer Kitchen reveals a discriminating taste for functional beauty and cutting-edge style. Crafted in white, with stainless steel fixtures and fittings, a sparkling grey marble worktop, a teak breakfast bar, ample storage and a white terrazzo floor, this open-plan feature kitchen adjoins the living and dining room. 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. A service area with laundry and staff quarters is tucked away out of sight at the back.

Pool and Garden

The garden is comprised of a series of terraced lawns and private grassy courtyards linked by steps of Indian slate. A dramatic central feature is the elevated, 21 x 5 metre, infinity-edge lap pool, which is lined with green Java stone and bordered on two sides by a large ironwood deck. Furnished with a teak table for alfresco dining, and teak sunloungers, the view from this spot, across the cliff, is breathtaking. The velvety lawns are dotted with frangipani trees, while bougainvillea cascades over the garden wall. There is also an outdoor pool shower. Parking is available at the entrance to the villa and guests are granted use of the exclusive Karang Kembar Beach Club.

Master Suite

The Bali villa master suite is located within its own pavilion flanked by a personal sundeck beside the pool, which is furnished with a funky, lazy chair for two. The pavilion incorporates the Master Bedroom, Master Bathroom, an en-suite Massage Room, and a Children’s Bedroom. The Master Bedroom is characterised by a 2.2 x 2.2 metre bed, a black terrazzo floor, a large mirror, striking artwork and a satellite TV and Bose iPod. Glass doors ensure a view of the ocean from the bed. The en-suite, air-conditioned, Massage Room, complete with massage bed, doubles as a dressing area and is fitted with large wardrobes. Next door, the small Children’s Room presents a blue nautical theme, and is fitted with bunk beds and painted wood-panelled wardrobes. The Master Bathroom features a white walled, outdoor bathing area with a black terrazzo tub within a stone pebbled garden, guarded by a Buddha statue and a frangipani tree. The spacious indoor area is equipped with a white terrazzo vanity unit with ‘his and hers’ washbasins, glass-doored rainshower and toilet cubicles, cupboards and ornate crystal wall lamps beside large mirrors.
