Villa Ylang Ylang Description

Bounded by coconut trees, endless rice fields and deserted Indian Ocean beach, Villa Ylang Ylang is the star of the show, an outstanding six-bedroom destination villa. Hidden within a culturally-drenched village along Bali's south-east coast, this contemporary-Asian residence oozes luxury and glamour, with interiors revealing exquisite tastes and sophisticated facilities for discerning guests, including a15-metre pool, gym and home-theatre. The secluded beachfront setting overlooking the Badung Strait, together with the villa's suitability for yoga, spa and indulgent relaxation, further contribute to a retreat of absolute calm and well-being, adhering to Villa Ylang Ylang's lifestyle concept of 'passionate serenity'.

Approached through Saba village, with its idyllic scenery of verdant rice fields and coconut groves, this beachfront property which rest on landscaped gardens and faces the Indian Ocean's crashing surf is a spectacular sight. Contemporary Asian in design and lavishly appointed, the architectural grandeur of this six-bedroom villa emphasises majestic dimensions to create an atmosphere of serenity and refinement.
At TVilla Ylang Ylang, the pursuit of relaxation is amply catered for with a gym and infrared sauna, a top- notch theatre room and a series of intimate, luxurious outdoor spaces, while epicurean pursuits are more than satisfied by the kitchen, which produces fine dining par excellence.

Built in 2002 and lovingly designed and furnished by its owner, Villa Ylang Ylang hints of Versace and European sophistication: an elegant black and gold theme permeates throughout, while furnishings are fashioned from the finest imported fabrics. Food is served on gold plates, pool towels are by Chanel and several precious glass sculptures by a celebrated Japanese artist ornament the villa. Guests have included international celebrities and royalty, discreetly served by the experienced yet charming villa staff.

Villa Ylang Ylang, however, is much, much more than a luxury beachside residence. The villa is named after the fragrant Ylang Ylang flower, renowned for bringing harmony, peace, warmth and passion, and its mantra is 'passionate serenity', which is exactly what you will find here. Radiating a positive and rejuvenating energy, Villa Ylang Ylang's wildly beautiful beachside setting is therapeutic in itself, but add the yoga and spa treatments, health-conscious food and calming chill-out zones and you have a magical retreat. Secluded and peaceful, you may not want to leave this destination villa, but should you venture out you are within easy driving distance of many of Bali's tourist attractions and natural splendours.

Villa Ylang Ylang - Accommodation

Flanking the 15-metre pool and deck, the symmetrical right and left wings of Villa Ylang Ylang present six bedrooms. Elegant and luxuriously appointed, the spacious bedrooms all feature stone floors and high ceilings lined with split rattan, and are equipped with telephone, alarm clock, iPod dock, CD player and mini-safe. They are kept cool with air-conditioning and ceiling fans, aided by patio doors which welcome in the sea breeze. Interiors are sumptuous with cream walls and brown, beige and gold colour schemes, plus canopied beds, tasteful modern art pieces and contemporary furniture. Soft furnishings feature the finest quality silks.
Indulgent ensuite bathrooms generally feature black stone floors and hand-carved stone freezes, supplied with hairdryers, weighing scales, honey-comb cotton robes and customized bathroom products. As part of their evening 'turn-down' service, staff set the mood with Ylang Ylang oils wafting from oil burners and life poems deposited on pillows.

King Bedrooms
Furthest away from the main pavilion and closest to the beach, the two luxurious master suites face each other across the pool. Similar in style, both come furnished with a king- size, contemporary, four-poster bed, vanity area and silk upholstered couch. Their lavish bathrooms feature generous-sized sunken bathtubs, room-size walk-in rain shower, his n' hers washbasins and, beyond, a small courtyard with modern glass sculptures contrasting with traditional-style Balinese water statue and pool. At the opposite end, a terraced area features comfy cushioned outdoor furniture (with encircling silk drapes for privacy) and a relaxing private plunge pool, looking out over the sea.

Queen Bedrooms
Next to the master suites are two Queen bedrooms featuring queen-size four-poster beds. Wood and glass sliding doors lead to chic ensuite bathrooms with mini-sunken baths that double as showers(massage and traditional Balinese style).

Junior Bedrooms
Accesses through internal sliding doors from each of the Queen Rooms are adjoining Junior bedrooms, each furnished with twin beds - one with canopied, mosquito nets - making them very suitable for children ( these rooms are ideally positioned nearest to the living pavilion, so parental surveillance is easy in the evenings). Ensuites with showers are attached to both Junior bedrooms

Interior in all four rooms follow the style of master suites and all bathrooms are delightfully sunny, courtesy of a conservatory-style, sloping glass roof decorated with rattan. Outside, intimate patios are edged with white pebbles, Black tiles and tropical foliage; ornamented by glass standing

Living, Dining and Kitchen
The heart of the villa, the main pavilion stands two storeys tall, an impressive building with an 11-metre-high atrium, symmetrically balanced with cream-hued colonnades supporting a soaring, vaulted ceiling. The pavilion looks out across the gardens and pool to the beach

Mainly open-sided (protected by a combination of floor-to-ceiling wood doors, flowing silk curtains and lengthy bamboo blinds), the pavilion is cooled by refreshing sea breezes and ceiling fans. The living area is furnished with large floor cushions, a deep daybed draped in organza silk and flanking comfy sofas, all featuring rich designer fabrics and signature golden and black theme.

At the far end, under a low-ceiling, the formal dining area is dominated by a lacquered wood table accommodating 12 to 14 diners on incredibly comfortable cushioned chairs. As a backdrop to the dining table is a striking glass sculpture and wall-panel of gold-painted mirrored tiles. Separate, and behind closed doors, lies the fully-equipped kitchen.

Theatre Room
At the opposite end of the living-dining area, black sliding doors reveal an air-conditioned theatre room so called as satellite TV channels and DVDs are projected onto an extensive wall screen. Facing the screen, a black sofa bed is massive enough for the entire family to laze upon, enjoying the hundreds of DVDs available or top-of-the-range surround-sound music system. This cozy room also doubles as a study, with well-stocked library, computer with broadband internet and printer provided for guest use.

Two black lacquered staircases at opposite ends of the living pavilion ground-floor lead up to a black timbered gallery. Mezzanine-style, this open-sided, space looks inwards over the living- dining area. Sunlit and airy, it contains two intimate dining tables and centrally-positioned balcony encased by folding glass doors. This intimate lounging area with gigantic daybed reveals fabulous ocean views and comes flanked on opposite ends by a rooftop deck scattered with floor cushions - perfect for yoga or nighttime star gazing - and rooftop massage deck with two massage beds provided for spa treatments.

Positioned at one end of the Living & Dining Pavilion, the air-conditioned Studio is a state-of-the- art home theater, where guests can laze in front of a large cinema screen, supported by a top of the range surround sound and music system, and a projector for showing movies and DVDs, in addition to satellite TV channels. The extensive library presents 200 movies, as well as a wide- ranging collection of reference books, coffee table books, guidebooks and novels in several different languages. A desk with a computer and printer is provided for guest use with free access to Broadband Internet.

Pool and Garden
From the main pavilion, the 15-metre pool is the central point of landscaped seaside gardens, bounded by swaying coconut palms. Adorned with ornamental water fountains, the salt water pool is surrounded by a stone deck, supplying multi-functional sunbeds fashioned from weatherproof rattan and cushioned with black mattresses and silk cushions.

From here, manicured lawns stretch down to a tidal river, glistening black sands and crashing surf; at the gardens’ end beside the river is a timbered sundeck, complete with sun-loungers with fabulous unobstructed views across the beach.

Lawns are dotted with Indonesian modern art sculptures mounted on stone and sweet-scented, frangipani trees. At each side, overlooking the beach, is a black, contemporary-take on the traditional balé pavilion: one, designed for romantic dining and sun-filled lunches and the other, for relaxation and massage. These contrast with two miniscule Hindu shrines nearby. There's also an oversized black sun-bed with concertina-style cover and opposite, a small, glass-fronted gym containing a four-person, wooden infrared sauna.

Gym
The glass fronted gym is located in the garden and equipped with an exercise bike, a tummy trim, an Ab Shaper and a Delta Infinity Gravity walker. A precious facility is the four-person infrared sauna; the health giving properties of infrared are extraordinary, allowing us to activate the sweat glands and eliminate toxins, while also increasing circulation, boosting the immune system, rejuvenating skin cells, promoting weight loss and improving our well being.

Villa Ylang Ylang - Location

Villa Ylang Ylang rests in the quiet coastal village of Saba, in an area collectively known as Ketewel, within Bali’s eastern Gianyar Regency.

This eastern coastal region is an exceptionally wonderful part of the island - naturally beautiful, amazingly unspoilt and packed with cultural and scenic attractions.

Villa Ylang Ylang's gardens stretch down to Saba Beach, Its shimmering black sanda a reminder of Bali's volcanic heritage.The deserted stretch of beach offers unobstructed panoramas with stunning views across the Badung Strait and Nusa Penida, (one of Bali's smaller sister islands). And on a clear day, the silhouette of towering volcano, Mount Agung, is visible in the distance. Sunrises are a spectacular treat here, especially over Nusa Penida's limestone cliffs.

A tidal river flows between the beach and villa; Peanut River alters its course with every changing season, so access to the beach requires crossing the river half of the year by way of a small boat provided by the villa. it's safer to swim in a protected bay area just five minutes westwards ( or head south to the calm waters of nearby Sanur).
The offshore reef here is renowned for its surf breaks, and there's excellent surfing to be had ten minutes in either direction of the villa: nearby Mascheti Beach has world-class surf breaks and hosts international surfing tournaments.

Private performances can be arranged at the villa; private performances at the villa by young traditional dancing girls can be arranged.
