CLICK HERE to get to the updated information about Villa Jajaliluna
The symmetrical villa is comprised of three separate,
self-contained pavilions positioned around a stunning swimming pool,
adjacent to a flat green lawn within a walled courtyard garden.
The main 2-storey pavilion houses the living room, together with
a breezy upstairs mezzanine and balcony, and four bedrooms with
en-suite bathrooms.
There is also a family lounge, which doubles as a yoga pavilion,
and an elegant dining pavilion. Taking advantage of the villa’s
tropical location, all of the rooms boast large teakwood-framed
glass doors that can be pocketed away to allow the cool breezes
to circulate, thereby ensuring that guests can enjoy the full impact
of the surroundings while sheltered from the elements.
With its spacious and luxurious atmosphere, Villa Jajaliluna
is ideally suited for families and small groups of discerning people
who want to experience the best of Bali.
Architecture
Designed by the internationally-acclaimed, Bali-based architect
Glen Parker of ‘Glen Parker Architects’, Villa Jajaliluna
is a masterpiece that blends the very best of modern Balinese architectural
elements with elegant finishes and superior amenities.
The architecture of the villa utilises local materials including
ironwood shingles for the roof, creamy white Palimanan stone, Bengkirai
wood floors, cream terrazzo, white pebbled pathways and decorative
pebbled borders.
The fresh white walls and furnishings, the warm brown of the teakwood
frames, and the cool aquamarine and cobalt blue of the ceramic pool
tiles, form the dominant colours, juxtaposed against the greenery
of Bali’s exotic plants.
The style is based on the concept of the traditional Balinese family
compound with a separate building or ‘balé’ for
each function, and a licence to amend the purpose of each in accordance
with the comforts of modern living. Recessed lighting creates a
romantic ambience at night.
Location
The 4-bedroom Villa Jajaliluna is a peaceful oasis, nestled in
the heart of the fashionable Oberoi area on Bali’s south-western
coast. Twenty-five minutes' drive from the international airport,
and convenient for all of the main shops, tourist attractions and
vibrant nightspots, the villa is just 100 metres from the magnificent
Seminyak beach, renowned for its world-class surf breaks, panoramic
coastline views and legendary sunsets.
A wide choice of world-renowned fine dining restaurants, including
the famous KuDéTa, Hu’u, Living Room, and La Lucciola
are all within a five-minute walking distance. The ideal location
is also within walking distance of an eclectic collection of designer
boutiques.
Guests at Villa Jajaliluna will be eligible for complimentary membership
of The Canggu Club throughout the duration of their stay. Located
about fifteen minutes’ drive from the villa, this is Bali’s
first and only international private members’ club; offering
sports, social and leisure facilities, including a state-of-the
art gym, a 25-metre swimming pool and a tennis & squash centre.

Accommodation
A snaking pathway leads from a spacious car parking area to the
main entrance marked by an unusual pivot door. Visitors will then
cross an ornamental pond flanked by twin palm trees and firebowls.
Water plays a central and important role in the agriculturally-based
culture of Bali, and this has been reflected in the layout of the
property.
A stunning swimming pool has been designed to link the three pavilions.
The pool flows with the living design and joins everything together,
coming right up to the edge of the rooms to create an intimate connection
between each pavilion. A timber sundeck extends from the main living
area, and Palimanan stone sun terraces are situated opposite each
other on either side of the pool.
One terrace is furnished with sun-loungers and umbrellas, the other
with a barbeque and a large table with bench seats for alfresco
dining. Additional shade is provided by two twisting frangipani
trees; during the day these sweet-scented flowering trees cast cool
shadows, while at night they appear to dance on the shimmering water
of the pool.
Bedrooms
All four air-conditioned bedrooms, with their en-suite bathrooms
and cream terrazzo floors, are the same size and shape; two are
located downstairs and two are located upstairs, mirror images of
each other in keeping with the perfect symmetry.
Three of the bedrooms are furnished with king size beds with diaphanous
white drapes. The fourth bedroom, upstairs, is fitted out as a children’s
room, designed to sleep four kids in bunk beds. Each bedroom is
complemented by fitted white louvre wardrobes, white storage units
and white curtains.
Bathrooms
Each en-suite bathroom is entered through an Asian-influenced sliding
frosted-glass door, designed to let the light through. All of the
bathrooms feature grey streaked marble topped vanity units, huge
wall mirrors, ceramic washbowls, toilets, and sizeable glass shower
cubicles with powerful rainshowers.
One of the upstairs bathrooms features “his & hers”
washbasins, while one of the downstairs bathrooms boasts a bathtub,
bordered by mosaic tiles in shades of brown and beige. The doors
from this downstairs bathroom open into a private walled garden
area with an outdoor rainshower, complete with mosaic tiled splashback
and washbasin.
Living & Sleeping Pavilion
The symmetrical living and sleeping pavilion is a 2-storey building.
The downstairs living room opens directly onto the timber deck bordering
the pool. Graced with lazy chairs and deeply cushioned sofas, the
whitep colour theme is broken by the occasional splash of colour
and a fine collection of antique framed prints on the walls. This
carefully crafted room, with its cool terrazzo floor, easily earns
its place as the nexus of the property, and is ideal for entertaining
and relaxing. The doors at each end open fully to create a moving
air flow, while exposing a sparkling water cascade bounded by a
hedge of young bamboo at the back.
A guest powder-room, with toilet and washbasin, is located to one
side of the water cascade. Big circular cushioned cane chairs rest
upon the pool deck at the front underneath a Sunbrella canopy, which
provides shelter and shade and is reminiscent of the sails of a
boat. A Palimanan staircase leads up to a timber floored mezzanine,
another breezy living space furnished with a large daybed and a
plasma wide-screen satellite TV and DVD player. This area is fitted
with doors that open completely onto a balcony running the length
of the pavilion, overhanging the garden.
The balcony is also accessed from each of the upstairs bedrooms.
Large picture windows on the stair landing overlook the neighbouring
rice fields. The main living area and upstairs mezzanine face directly
west. Due to the close proximity of the beach, the skyline is uncluttered,
presenting great views of the Balinese sunsets complete with the
palm trees silhouetted against red and purple skies.
Dining Pavilion
The dining pavilion is the same shape and size as the lounge pavilion,
complete with a Bengkirai wood floor and glass doors that can be
completely folded back on three sides to create an open-air ambience,
cooled by natural breezes and ceiling fans. The mood generated by
the unique furnishing styles, however, is very different from that
of the lounge pavilion. This elegant dining room is furnished with
an attractive square dining table and eight chairs, together with
a service counter.
