Villa Samudra (Majapahit Beach Villas)

This absolute beachfront villa is characterised by a large garden that extends directly onto a private 14-metre beachside buff with timber decking, towering coconut palms, & wooden steps leading down to the beach. This is the place to chill out & gaze at the graceful kites scattered throughout the sky, or watch both the sunrise & the sunset create a warm pink glow across the mysterious, towering, sea-cliffs of Nusa Penida island.

In addition to the wonderful views, the garden of the two-storey Villa Samudra also boasts a 14 x 4 metre lap pool, which is 1.8 metres in depth and lined with green Java stone. A massage pavilion rests at one end of the pool and a bale bengong (relaxation pavilion) is also located in the garden, together with an outdoor shower, sunloungers, timeworn stone-carvings, terracotta carved wall panels, palms, sweet scented frangipani trees and coastal shrubs and plants.

Villa Samudra's semi open-air living & dining area borders the swimming pool. Open at each end, equipped with bamboo blinds and cooled by ceiling fans, this is tropical living at its very best. A Jacuzzi extends into the living space & overflows into the pool creating an attractive waterfall feature. A hi-fi system with surround sound is provided for the entertainment of the guests, & wireless high-speed Internet access allows guests to send & receive their e-mails inside the villa or beside the pool, in the garden or on the beach. The contemporary furniture is set off by a myriad of textures from smooth white Palimanan stone to carved antique doors framed by dark grey volcanic rock. Impressive local artwork adorns the walls, harmonized with primitive artifacts. A rustic coffee table, & comfortable sofas and chairs, are complemented by richly colored silk cushions, together with a woven rattan & wood-skin mat resting upon the Merbau wood floor. A striking feature is the curved floating staircase, fashioned in richly patterned wood & supported by eight columns. The open plan dining area is furnishing with a table for six & overlooks a lotus pond. The pond is traversed by stepping stones that lead through a pebbled courtyard to the fully equipped service kitchen where the staff will prepare delicious meals. Every need of the guests has been considered, & a particularly thoughtful touch is the provision of a barbeque. A series of wide stone pillars create a partition, for privacy, between the kitchen & the living & dining area.

The air-conditioned master bedroom, complete with en-suite bathroom & wide balcony, covers the whole of the upper floor under a soaring pitched roof. A queen size bed is made up with top quality linens and a red & black Chinese silk bedcover. Rich drapes frame the windows, local Paras stone bricks form a wall behind the bed, old photographs enhance the decor, & a wooden cabinet houses a satellite TV, DVD & CD player. Glass doors and fly screens open out onto a timber balcony deck commanding breathtaking views of the coastline & ocean. The en-suite bathroom comprises two mirrored dressing rooms with ample storage space, together with two separate washing areas linked by a covered balcony walkway. This clever design allows the dressing rooms and bathroom to be accessed by two different doors from the bedroom, & the walkway is enclosed with fretwork wooden walls, which allow the cool breezes to permeate. One of the grey terrazzo-floored bathroom areas features a black terrazzo corner bathtub and twin washbasins. The other area features a shower, toilet & washbasin.

The two remaining air-conditioned bedrooms are located downstairs, one with queen size bed & the other one with twin bed, other facilities are mirror images of each other, each with en-suite bathroom, satellite TV, DVD & CD player. Glass doors and fly screens in each room open onto a personal terrace furnished with daybeds, & a dressing area is located behind the bed. Each garden bathroom features 'his 'n' hers' washbasins, toilet, & a black terrazzo sunken bathtub and shower, bordered by plants, together with a three-tiered running water feature, & a wall for privacy.

The Location
The recent construction of the Sanur-Kusamba by-pass road has made this area accessible to the rest of the island & positions Villa Samudra within easy driving distance of most of Bali's tourist attractions. Villa Samudra is .just forty-five minutes drive from Bali's international airport, thirty minutes from the cultural town of Ubud, ten minutes from Sukawati art & handicraft market, ten minutes from Sanur, & thirty minutes from the restaurants, shops and nightlife of Kuta & Seminyak. Ketewel village is the origin of the famous Legong Bededari Dance, & the neighbouring village of Sawa produced the finest Legong dancers on the island. The beach of Pabean, in front of Villa Samudra, was once a small port through which oriental traders brought their products; at low tide you can still see the structure of the old harbour & a Chinese cemetery is located nearby.
