What A Luxury Villas Means In Bali

by Dharma Putra

Between the main structure & the beach is a swimming pool & indoor sauna set within a manicured lawn strewn with coconut palms & two relaxation bales. The gated villa entrance has ample parking & a security post to guard one's interests whilst ensuring one's safety. This Bali villa consists of two main two-storey building set on a attractive sprawling property, the gardens of which have been maturing for over a decade.

To the left of the building is an immense vegetable garden, large yard, & tennis court.
The surrounding village is traditional Balinese, & retains large expanses of pictorial rice fields. This six-bedroom villa & its immense property has the spectacular attribute of being set directly on the beach, & the ocean view enhances the enticing attributes of this prime estate.

Villa Gajah Putih is located in Canggu, a twenty-minute drive from the greater Kuta/Seminyak area where the prime dining, shopping, & nightlife in Bali are located. Because of its slightly out of town setting, it's the double attraction of being relatively close to everything two might require, while being far away to retain a peaceful rural feel.

The floors & ceilings are made of ironwood, & each of the bedrooms have at least two glass wall overlooking the ocean-side gardens of the estate. All of the ensuite bathrooms are floored & walled with caramel marble, & have screened-windows overlooking the front gardens. Each of the two bedrooms consists of an enclosed air-conditioned room with its own ensuite bathroom.

These water gardens are filled with colourful fish & flowers, & surround the main building. The spacious common living areas of the villa are floored in marble, & the actual structure is composed of white stucco ceilings framed by huge ironwood beams supported by matching columns, making the areas open-air. Upon entering the grounds two is led down a wooden walkway past a large limestone alligator carving & elaborate water ponds.
