Puttin' on the Ritz

(9/27/2004)

Scheduled for formal opening on December 20, 2004, the thirty-eight lavishly appointed one-bedroom Private Villas will be the newest addition to the 77-hectare resort set high upon chalk cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean.

Pitched to reflect the best villas in an island world-famous for its standards of luxury accommodation, the Luxury Cliff-Side Villas will feature invisible technology, state of the art communications, ultra-modern entertainment concepts and contemporary interior designs facing breath-taking views and tropical landscapes.

As the accompanying pictures on balidiscovery.com demonstrate, the new development is dazzling in its concept and design.

First Impressions Count

A minimalist style lobby and entrance lead to Bali's first exclusive Martini Club complete with a translucent fiber optics lit Seiki Torige glass bar. A unique "by day and by night" poolside Lounge offers relaxation zones with plush canopied daybeds, modern Asian fare and exotic Shisha Pipe nightly menus. A stylish eighty-seat lotus shaped elevated restaurant with three individual private dining rooms captures spectacular ocean views and is striking in contemporary glamour.

Additional features include an elegant fully stocked library; sophisticated meeting rooms; gallery space, private wedding chapel; a wine, chocolates & cigar atelier; and a stunning two tiered black river stone bathers pool with waterfall.

Villa interiors blend Japanese Zen-like elements with Balinese accents where light and open space is the main design principal. Polished timber panels, brushed metallic and chrome fittings, sandstone carvings, slate tiling, eclectic artwork, luxurious fabrics and designer accessories have been used throughout, whilst the latest in ergonomic design and technology uses state of the art in flat screen TV, DVD, stereo, WIFI internet access, and individual climate controls to allow adjustable air conditioning.

Private Luxury

Romantic canopied four poster beds with luxury cotton linens, soft duvets, and down pillows lead out to expansive gardens where an individual infinity edged plunge pool meets a swim up relaxation Gazebo pavilion.

A spectacular floor to ceiling glass bathroom (nearly 60 square meters in size) features a step up marble bath for two positioned to take advantage of ocean views and adjacent garden where traditional stone fountains flow water into the plunge pool. An adjoining dressing gallery, his and her 'floating' wash basins, separate shower with dual rain showerheads and walk in wardrobes have set new standards on the island for commodial splendor.

The Human Touch

Each villa offers one button call 24 hour personal Butler service to attend to guests, draw a bath, pack or unpack clothes, make dinner reservations, set up laptop, or even apply a coat of sunscreen. A custom stocked honor-bar, gourmet coffee and tea selections and exclusive bathroom amenities with beauty products are part of the exclusive services and amenities on offer.
