Villa Jaja-Liluna
The 4-bedroom Villa Jaja-Liluna 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 Jaja-Liluna 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.
Introduction
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 Jaja-Liluna 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, Glen Parker
of ‘Glen Parker Architects’, in collaboration with the owners who spend
much of their time at the property, Villa Jaja-Liluna 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.
Entrance, garden and swimming pool
A snaking pathway leads from a spacious car parking area to the
main entrance marked by an unusual pivot door. Visitors will then
traverse 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.
Living and 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 white 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.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
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. 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.
Lounge Pavilion
The single-storey lounge pavilion is a square building
characterised by a Bengkirai wood floor bordered by Palimanan,
underneath a soaring pitched roof displaying the neat rattan lining on
the underside of the roof. The clever design allows guests to
completely fold back the doors on three sides to create an open-air
pavilion, cooled by natural breezes and ceiling fans. Bamboo blinds can
be dropped for privacy and shade. Equipped with a satellite TV and DVD
player, this family room is a cosy snug for reading or watching TV or
movies, while also doubling as a yoga pavilion. One wall is fitted with
white cupboards and shelf units stocked with books; this is flanked by
twin alcoves, positioned opposite each other, each one showcasing a
Buddha’s head resting upon a pedestal.
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.
Kitchen & Laundry
The fully-equipped kitchen, together with a laundry, is housed in
the service area to one side of the property, leaving the remainder of
the villa free to enjoy the environs of the garden and pool.
