CLICK HERE to get to the updated information about Villa Des Indes
Villa des Indes, part of the exclusive Laksmana
Villas, is located in the most fashionable area of Seminyak, offering
selected holiday visitors a unique opportunity to experience colonial
lifestyle in top end luxury. For many years Bali has been a favorite
tropical paradise of world travelers where hospitable residents
of this extraordinary island open their homes to visitors who arrive
seeking tranquility and repose. In recent years Bali has acquired
a new reputation, as a glittering global resort, where elite world
travelers mingle in chic beach cafes and restaurants.
Villa des Indes is built in a unique style and decorated with museum
quality Indonesian art. Enter the villa through huge antique doors
and across a koi pond to the magnificent centerpiece of the estate,
the "Joglo". This century old residence of a Javanese
nobleman has been carefully transplanted to Bali. It is a masterpiece
of intricately hand carved teak wood that needs to be seen to be
fully appreciated. The Joglo rests on a lagoon-style swimming pool
featuring an island and set in an amazing tropical garden.
The owners who are well traveled, with long experience in South
East Asia, have decorated the Joglo and the three individual bungalows
with selected museum-quality art from their extensive collection,
which include: paintings, period furniture, classic sculptures as
well as charming colonial prints.
Laksmana Villas
None of the tranquility of Bali's timeless charm has been lost,
the exclusive residences of Laksmana Villas are situated in complete
privacy down a shady lane that keeps the outside world at a discreet
distance, and all this only one hundred meters from the Indian ocean
! At night the only sounds heard are that of a tropical breeze in
swaying coconut palms, and the distant crashing of surf.
Pavilions
Each of the three individual colonial style bungalows within the
villa residence have wide verandas and magnificent views of the
exquisitely hand carved Javanese Joglo, the social center of the
estate and overlook the pool. All of the bungalows are fully air
conditioned with oversized antique Balinese wooden beds, splendidly
appointed baths, and outdoor showers.
Three of the bungalows have den-libraries attached to the bedrooms.
The third bungalow has an upper open pavilion for sunset cocktails
with adjacent butler's pantry and guest toilet. The best of Seminyak
is within walking distance of the villa, but many visitors find
they will seldom leave this elegant ambience which transports all
who enter to a gentler more civilized era.
