VILLA BATAVIA

Villa Batavia is a handcrafted masterpiece of design, elegance & luxury with hi-tech amenities & a historical theme.

Villa Batavia is a grand villa that stands out from the rest of the villas in Bali. Perhaps, this is due to its elegant overall design and theme. Villa Batavia is a fully staffed five-bedroom villa that counts Asia’s grandest heritage hotels as its strongest design influence, whilst including all the hi-tech facilities a twenty-first-century guest demands. A modern-day Somerset Maugham would delight in the generous open living spaces, antiques and artefacts, shaded verandas and breezy 24-hour butler service while relishing the Sonos sound system, iPod docks, home theatre, HD TVs and high-speed WiFi.

Guests will be amazed by the stunning views of exotic Balinese temples, rooftops and palm trees as well as the volcanoes in the distance. On the other hand, their eyes need not wander outside since the interior of Villa Batavia consist of various artworks and artifacts including postcards, maps and colonial prints. There are also stained glasses, silver pots, and tiffany lamps to compliment the interior design.

Living Room

In the living area is a television and DVD player. Guests can enjoy movies sitting back on the cushioned sofas. A chandelier by Solo City lights the area. Villa Batavia’s main living areas are on the second level, positioned for Bali’s famed sunsets, cooling sea breeze and peaceful garden vistas – with clear-day glimpses through the treetops of the island’s distant volcanoes. The principal open-plan living and dining room with the option of air-conditioning or ceiling fans, strikes the perfect balance between formal and informal entertaining space. A grand dining table beneath original Javanese chandeliers is the focus for dinner parties of up to ten guests, prepared in the fully equipped, state-of-the-art kitchen close by. Elsewhere, burnished leather sofas and chairs cluster round an antique cabinet hiding a huge flat-screen TV and surround-sound home theatre system.

Dining Room

An extensive individually priced menu of Indonesian, Asian and western cuisines; cocktails, spirits, wines, champagne and cigars; off-menu requests (including special diets) accommodated. In the dining area are silver plated crockery and china tableware. These areas are found on the first building which is basically the guest wing.

Garden & Pool

The villa has a formal reception hall – an elegant space opening straight onto the swimming pool where guests are greeted with a fresh juice and frangipani garland. From here, the striking chequerboard floor of black granite and white marble tiles sweeps through the grand colonnaded corridors, according additional intimate seating areas. By the 18-metre river-inspired swimming pool (with soft-on-skin saltwater system) are several sunbathing terraces with loungers and parasols, and a traditional bale well placed for blissful massages and romantic candle-lit dinners.

Villa Batavia is a three-wing, five-bedroom villa that is complete with a pool and a separate kiddies’ swimming pool. These five bedrooms receive natural light and ventilation through the shuttered, beveled glass windows. The bedrooms are with king-size beds and walk-through wardrobes, a fifth with twin beds. The villa sleeps 10 people (4 ensuite bedrooms with king-size beds, 1 with twins); 2 extra folding beds.

Master Bedroom

The master bedroom occupies the entire second level of the master wing, and encompasses a large bedroom, adjoining study room, walk-through wardrobe and dressing area, and palatial ensuite bathroom with statement copper bathtub. A teakwood veranda runs the full length of the, with private breakfast and relaxation areas. Downstairs is a second master bedroom with veranda opening onto the garden, and a twin bedroom with ensuite – perfect for the kids.

Guest Bedrooms

Two more guest bedrooms in the guest wing offer cool, comfortable interiors enriched with handsome furniture and heritage accents (including a hand-crafted stained glass window) and a shared veranda spilling onto the poolside sun terrace. They feature oriental carpets scattered on polished teakwood floors, walls lined with fascinating colonial-era prints and artefacts, and shaded verandas looking over the pool and garden.

Balancing the heritage-style interiors are more contemporary touches – mini-bar fridge, safe deposit box, cable TV and DVD player, and Bose iPod dock. There’s air-conditioning throughout and among other comfort-inducing features are top-range mattresses, crisp cotton bed linen, kimonos and slippers.

Villa Batavia’s generous expanse of living space and elegant bedroom suites are spread over three interconnected pavilions oriented round the pool and garden. Huge teakwood entrance doors open onto the villa’s heart – a large reception room and, above, an open-sided pavilion bar and lounge. A two-level colonnade leads to a guest wing with large living and dining room on the second level and a kitchen and staff service area behind.

Downstairs, two guest bedrooms open onto the pool terrace. Across the pool and linked to the reception pavilion by a covered teakwood walkway is the master pavilion with large master bedroom suite on the top level and a second master bedroom and twin guestroom opening onto the garden below.
