Business travelers or those having holiday alone may not get interested with this option, except writers catching their publication deadline. The main market segments for private villas are either honeymooners or family holidays. In many cases, groups of friends also prefer private villas, but normally their friendships are so close that we can consider them as a family. Honeymooners want absolute solitude whilst families like unobstructed togetherness.
Bali Villas Layout
Most Bali villas are designed following Balinese traditional architectural layout, where each function housed in completely separated pavilions. Ensuring the soothing breeze to travel throughout the house against tropical heat, communal areas like living and dining rooms are fully opens to either the garden or the swimming pool. Actually even the bedrooms are completed with floor-to-ceiling French doors. Fortunately there is a difference between Bali villas and Balinese traditional architecture, the only thing Westerners do not like, and therefore you will never find in Bali villas, is the bathroom. Whilst Balinese traditional architecture put one or more bathrooms for the whole family in a separated building at the back of the perimeter, Bali villas attach en-suite bathroom to each bedrooms. In addition to swimming pools, most Bali villas have water garden full of beautiful lotus and colorful fish. In addition to soothing the eyes waters are used to soften tropical heat.
Natural Contour
Many of Bali villas are built on a slope to enjoy unobstructed views from every corners of the house. Most Ubud villas are built on a valley or river gorge with picturesque view of tropical nature, whilst most Jimbaran villas perched on slope of rocky hill or atop soaring cliff with amazing ocean views. Consequently they are built following available natural contour with multi levels buildings, stairs, unfenced cliff drop all are really compromising safety to maintain the views.
Children Family Villas
Families spending holidays with small children have the dilemma between the comfort of all-to-yourself against safety for their children. Having children bedroom housed in separated building, having the swimming pool just at the doorsteps of the living room, having narrow path in the middle of lotus pond, having the edge of the infinity swimming pool dropped down to the cliff, having unfenced perimeter dropping down to the valley, having stairs all over the house ... all these concerns are holding them back from spending their holiday in private villas.
Villa Indah in the middle of safe residential neighborhood just off Sanur beach offers the answer to those worries. Initially built as family home of a hotel executive, the villa houses all functions in one building. The front yard with ample lawn suitable as joyful playground is completely separated from the swimming pool in the back yard. Its three bedrooms are set around the main living area. The master bedrooms offer large French doors opening out to the swimming pool, but also doors opening into the living room. The main building is set the whole perimeter apart into two. Built on flat land with soaring concrete fence, the house does not have even one single stair.
For the adults enjoyment, across the swimming pool is a huge 135sqms open pavilion serving as a second living area with couches, dining table, entertainment equipment, and another lap pool.
