Accommodation at Villa Des Indes I is spread across a series of pavilions encircling the well-established tropical garden, less than five minutes walk from the beach. This fully staffed, four-bedroom multi-pavilion residence is distinguished by its heritage joglo – a centuries old, elaborately carved teakwood building that was once the home of a Javanese aristocrat and now forms a palatial open-plan living pavilion.
The two master bedroom pavilions are just as generously proportioned, with deep verandas, den/libraries, air-conditioned bathrooms, and tropical garden showers, while the two guest suites occupy a separate two-story pavilion. Every impeccably decorated room features colonial-era furniture, oriental carpets, heirloom artifacts and curios, heritage posters, and original art – animated by an experienced team that includes butlers and an accomplished chef.
Des Indes I is particularly suited to one or two families with older kids (though toddlers are welcome too), as well as groups of friends. While up to 12 guests may be accommodated within the villa, a further 14 guests can stay in Des Indes II in the same estate.The pavilions encircle a 21-meter lagoon-style swimming pool at the centre of the villa’s mature tropical garden, edged with sun-loungers and parasols, and a traditional balé. Beyond the villa walls, the expanse of Petitenget Beach is barely fiveminutes’ walk away, along with some of Bali’s best-known establishments – among them Potato Head, Breeze at Samaya, and La Lucciola.
Recline on a plantation chair with an espresso and a good book. Follow a refreshing dip with a siesta in the garden balé. Sip a sunset cocktail prepared by your butler, then, after a candle-lit dinner prepared by your personal chef, retire to your romantic four-poster bed and sink into a deep restorative sleep.
