Villa Istana

Villa rests upon cliff top land, 100 metres above the rolling surf of the Indian Ocean on the southwestern tip of the Island of Bali. This five-suite estate overlooks white sand beaches and a lagoon abundant with sea life and coral, and in the evenings, magical sunsets. When the trade winds blow, a massive swell crashes onto the surrounding reef, crafting waves that attract worldwide surfing attention; the breaks are rated the fifth best in the world. Uluwatu beach is only a ten-minute walk from the villa. Set back 40 metres from the cliff face, The Istana is a gated property comprised of two swimming pools, a relaxation bale, the main house, the self-contained, single-storey master suite, and a children’s wing located above the staff service area. The single-storey main house is a study in perfect symmetry, architecturally inspired by an Indonesian long house. It presents a living room, dining room, an audio- video room and four identical bedroom suites. The overall style is a medley between understated modern architecture and traditional Indonesian detailing. The artwork represents a mixture of primitive art and antiques originating from Indonesia, keeping with the aura of tradition and style. The Istana rests upon cliff top land, 100 metres above the rolling surf of the Indian Ocean on the southwestern tip of the Island of Bali. Uluwatu temple, one of the most revered temple’s on the island, is just a five minute drive away. A dedicated team of over 20 professional staff makes this magnificent luxury villa your home in the Island of the Gods.

Location

The west facing Istana is located on south western tip of Bali in an area designated the Bukit. This five bedroom estate overlooks white sand beaches and a blue lagoon abundant with fish and living coral, and offers a prime location from which to witness the island’s stunning sunsets. When the trade winds blow, a massive swell from the Pacific Ocean crashes onto the reefs surrounding the area creating waves that attract surfers from around the world; the breaks are rated to be the fifth best in the world, and Uluwatu beach is only a ten minute walk from the villa. With the property located so close to the holy Pura Uluwatu, one of island’s nine mother temples, the site is spiritually inspiring and undeniably unique.

Things to do

  • Uluwatu is a very well known destination among surfing enthusiasts. Most of the surf spots are only suitable for advanced or expert surfers though - the waves are big here. The main surfing spots are Uluwatu, Dreamland, Padang-Padang, Bingin/Impossibles and Suluban.
  • Ever imagined yourself flying? Bali Adventure Paragliding lets you do just that. Situated at the famous Uluwatu cliffs, a fully trained instructor assists you on a 20 minute tandem flight above Bali's most spectacular strip of coastline. Bali Adventure Paragliding is safe, secure and spectacular. So soar like a bird in the safe hands of your own pilot.
  • Uluwatu Temple (Pura Uluwatu) is one of Bali's nine key directional temples. Though a small temple was claimed to have existed beforehand, the structure was significantly expanded by a Javanese sage, Empu Kuturan in the 11th Century. Another sage from East Java, Dang Hyang Nirartha is credited for constructing the padmasana shrines and is claimed to have attained Moksha here. Even more remarkable than the temple itself is its location, perched on a steep cliff 70 metres above the roaring Indian ocean waves.
  • The Bali Golf and Country Club Nusa Dua is located in the southern part and belongs to one of the best courses on the island. It's a huge 18-hole golf course situated on various locations throughout the area, near the beach, the hills or near the Nusa Dua entrance. Try to avoid playing in the sizzling sun during the day, mornings is best.
  • The Nusa Dua beach is without doubt one of the cleanest and longest beaches in this southern part of Bali. Here you can do some water sports such as wind surfing, surfing, kayaking, jet skiing, para-sailing but also go on a tour with Quicksilver to Nusa Penida island.
  • The best place for shopping near uluwatu areas is at the Bali Collection and also outside the gates in Bualu village. There's a special free hotel shuttle service to drop you off at the Bali Collection where various brands are represented. If you can't find what you are looking for than head over to Jalan Raya Seminyak for the many classy boutiques.
