Khayangan Estate, Bukit Uluwatu - Bali

Beautiful and magical villa . . .

The name comes from the old word for ‘Seventh Heaven’. This private Bali villa estate is truly heavenly. In fact, we believe it is the very best Bali luxury villa. It rests on the south west tip of Bali in lovely gardens on a high cliff top, above a white sand beach. The villa offers one of the best views in Bali, with a grand vista of the ocean. It is hard to find another luxury Bali villa with such a good view.

The villa's charm lies in its design. It is made up of two clusters of traditional, antique, wooden houses from Java. These were once the homes of noble men. They have been carefully grouped to echo the mood of an old village. The villas are set in a huge garden, with dense beds of yellow flowers, gently swaying palms, shrubs and trees. The villa is quite different from any other luxury Bali villa or luxury Bali resort.

The original charm of these one hundred year old buildings has been kept. These Bali luxury villas are made of old teak wood. Here, you will find rich furnishings, as well as state of the art facilities. Bathrooms are the coolest on the island, especially those of the two master bedrooms. Each has a private water garden, where a dreamy bath tub appears to float in a clear pond. The design of this luxury Bali villa estate presents guests with the choice of a three bedroom or a six bedroom renting option. There are two big lap pools, two smaller pools, and a cold plunge pool. There is also a business centre, a cliff edge bale, a tennis court, a gym, and a spa. All of this not only makes for a great Bali holiday villa, but is also the best choice for a wedding villa.

Accommodation

Khayangan Estate is laid out as two clusters, each featuring three, self-contained, Bali luxury villas. Each of these Bali villas presents a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The estate is available for two parties of six persons or as a single residence of six bedrooms accommodating up to 12 guests.

Cluster 1 consists of three suites – the Sultan, the Majapahit and the Keraton, together with a dining and living pavilion fronted by an infinity-edge pool overlooking the Indian Ocean. Sitting higher and closer to the edge of the cliff, Cluster 2 features two joglos, the Maharaja suite and the two-bedroom Sanjaya suite, each with large private plunge pools. The suites are situated on both sides of a second infinity-edge swimming pool, which leads up to the covered terrace in front of a grand living and dining pavilion.

Each suite is exclusively designed and decorated to enhance its individual character. Every bedroom features a majestic king-sized bed set within thick wooden central pillars under a beautifully and intricately carved pondopo or multi-tiered ceiling centre-piece.

Sultan Bali villa and spa

The Sultan master suite is the largest of the bedroom suites, as well as being the most unique and undoubtedly one of the very best that you will find among Bali luxury villas. Sultan is complemented by floor-to-ceiling glass panels in the front and sides of the building, designed to let in more light and give a contemporary feel to the sprawling interior. Its original 12-panel carved doors open up to a wide, covered verandah, where you can enjoy alfresco dining or just relax on the lounge beds, soaking up the stunning view of the sea.

The oversized king bed is set within a cocoon of wooden columns and netting and topped with beautifully and ornately carved centre-pieces consisting of many tiers, making you want to laze in bed all day. The bed linen is Egyptian cotton of the highest quality and thread count.

Furnished to the highest levels of comfort with a mixture of ancient surroundings and the best comforts the 21st century has to offer, the simple tones follow the natural hues of the wood. Colour is added however through the clever use of Jim Thompson Thai silk pillows and bed coverings, adding a touch of opulent splendour to the sleeping area.

The lavish, air-conditioned bathroom features separate ‘his and hers’ washbasins resting upon thick wooden vanity units and an all-embracing rain shower fully decorated with East Timorese white river pebbles, combined with old teak wood, incomparable with other Bali villas.

Beyond its rear glass walls and door is lush private water garden with an oversized bathtub, complete with an overhead canopy, ‘floating’ in the middle of a pond with a relaxation pavilion to one side. Indeed, the Sultan’s outdoor bathroom is probably the most romantic bathroom that you will ever find among Bali luxury villas. Sultan suite is well appointed with all the amenities that you would expect from Bali luxury villas including a desk, armchair, spacious 12-panel built-in wardrobe, electronic safe, mini bar, coffee and tea facilities, sound system with iPod connections, DVD player and flat screen plasma TV.

Majapahit and Keraton villa & spa

Majapahit lies on the eastern end of the property and is situated closest to the edge of the cliff. The picture perfect view of the azure blue sea and horizon framed by antique doors, visible from inside the suite, makes breakfast in bed simply irresistible, and is a rare feature within Bali luxury villas. The signature Majapahit bed is enhanced with contrasting black lattice panels at its head and foot, which lends a more contemporary feel to the suite.

The Majapahit's bathroom features a 15-cm-thick, single piece of old teak wood in its natural form and shape, on which sits a sink carved entirely out of a single piece of natural river rock. Yet another feature that makes Khayangan stand out from Bali luxury villas. A large black terrazzo bathtub, lined with black river stones from Sumatra, looks out from behind a glass wall over the cliff to the sea.

The smallest but most ornately decorated of the suites in Estate 1, the Keraton features a rare and unique double roof with intricately carved wall panels. Set a little further back than the other suites, the Keraton offers a wonderful view of the estate with its magnificent landscaped gardens against the backdrop of the ocean. Keraton is tastefully furnished with reclaimed wood furniture and antique carvings in the traditional Toraja motif from Sulawesi, which adds an ethnic accent to its simple but sophisticated interior, making it one of the top Bali luxury villas. The bathroom walls and ceiling are fully covered with a lattice of antique Javanese-style flower carvings with concealed lighting behind, which casts beautiful shadows all around when lit up at night. Encased on both sides by glass, the double bathtub looks out into a verdant garden with a Balinese style outdoor shower – yet another stunning and rare feature among Bali Luxury Villas

Maharaja Bali villa and spa

The magnificent and palatial suite, known as Maharaja, is situated almost in the centre of the grounds, at the highest point of Khayangan, affording stunning views over the cliff-top pavilion and the sea below, as well as the lush gardens of this remarkable estate of Bali luxury villas.

The antique doors at the front open up to a private verandah and a plunge pool. The most dramatic aspect of this suite is undoubtedly its spacious bathroom enclosed by a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, and highlighted by a double-sized Jacuzzi, a large rainshower and of course double vanities, all overlooking the majestic Indian Ocean. At the back of the suite is a delightful outdoor bath, similar to that of the Sultan suite, featuring a pond with a ‘floating’ terrazzo bath in the middle, and also a private pavilion for lounging in privacy. The pond is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden with frangipani, ferns and tropical plants, giving the impression of a jungle pool.

Sanjaya Suite 1 & 2

The Sanjaya Suite sits on the western end of this wonderful Bali villas estate, and comprises two separate bedrooms, with a large bathroom in the middle. This suite, which also has a private verandah and a plunge pool overlooking the ocean, is ideal for families with young children, or for those who wish to stay close together.

Both bedrooms are decorated in similarly grand style, with king-sized beds built into the central pillars of the joglos. A doorway in the middle of the suite opens up to the terrace and landscaped garden in front of the second dining and living pavilion.

This exclusive Bali villa spa, encased with floor-to-ceiling glass, and beautifully finished in reclaimed teak and East Timorese white river pebbles, is unique in its offering of the full facilities of a commercial spa, including an outdoor plunge pool, indoor Jacuzzi, Vichy shower, steam room, wet and dry massage areas, and manicure, pedicure and cream bath stations, all for your own private use.

Dinning and Living Pavilion

The living and dining pavilion in Cluster 1 is the largest and oldest of the hand-crafted joglos, created over 150 years ago in Central Java, and therefore quite unique in the world of Bali luxury villas. The most striking feature is its towering core of four intricately and exquisitely carved pillars, showcasing traditional patterns and flowers. The pavilion is immaculately furnished with ultra comfortable lounge sofas and chairs, a large coffee table, a minimalist console and a rustic dining table for 12, all custom-made from reclaimed teakwood. White muslin cotton drapes fall languidly between the central pillars, old teakwood floorboards are dressed with rugs in contemporary motifs, and the muted colour theme follows the warm hue of the natural timber.

Our resident Spanish chef is at hand to prepare personalized menus for your pleasure, 24 hours a day. He will create an array of memorable dining experiences especially for you, whenever and wherever you fancy, anywhere on the estate or even to complement your excursions outside the estate.
