Ombak Luwung Private Beachfront Estates
A visit to Ombak Luwung will allow you to experience an
entirely new dimension of beauty, peace and tranquility. Ombak
Luwung means 'magnificent waves' in the Balinese language. In
other words, Ombak Luwung creates the ideal environment to
relax and enjoy the beautiful blue waters of the Indian Ocean,
right at your doorstep.
The name reflects the fact that the ever-changing view of
the sea provides the backdrop for the buildings and its
gardens. The pounding surf will set the rhythm of your stay
here. Ombak Luwung is that very rare combination of absolute
beachfront and exclusive privacy, exquisitely realized in the
form of a Balinese-style architectural masterpiece.
Every element in the design of Ombak Luwung contributes to
the harmonious enjoyment of this special place. The placement
of the structures, shrines, gardens and ornaments are all
informed by ancient Balinese principals that will maximize the
peace and well-being of its occupants.
The overall design is executed in traditional Balinese
materials and organization. Each room is a separate structure,
with simple elements of natural wood and stone topped with
alang alang (thatched roofs), offset by intricate and
fascinating decorative touches. Naturally, the entire complex
is set within lush gardens. The combined effect of the
fundamental design features create a sheltered and peaceful
center courtyard, from which one's attention is inevitably
pulled to the wide-open spaces facing our stunning sea view.
From the main entrance, one proceeds down a shady
pergola-covered walkway to the central plaza. On all sides,
you will see massive stone mural-walls depicting scenes of
Balinese village life. On your right stands a two-storey
structure which floats on a giant lily-pond. The ground floor
of this building is configured as a study/library/media room
and can also be used as a fifth bedroom with en-suite and
outdoor shower. Upstairs, another bedroom provides sea
views, an en-suite bathroom and a beautiful Chinese wedding
bed.
Look to the left from the plaza and you will see the
wantilan, a traditional Balinese living room. This is the
heart of Ombak Luwung, with its comfortable sitting area
looking out to the pool and the ocean beyond. The wantilan is
complete with a powder room, wet kitchen and sound system for
your enjoyment. Beside the wantilan is the kitchen and
air-conditioned dining room with seating for up to ten.
Opposite the kitchen is a garden-view bedroom with king
size bed and en-suite. This bedroom opens into a private
courtyard with a massage pavilion and outdoor shower. A
masseuse can be arranged by request through our staff.
On either side of the wantilan, facing the sea, are two
spectacular sea-view bedrooms with king size beds and
en-suite. The bathroom of the master bedroom is separate
pavilion, floating in its own pond and composed from black
stone and terrazzo.
In front of it all an expansive deck serves the beautiful
black stone swimming pool (8 meters x 16 meters), with 360
degree infinity edge. Choose from teak wood lounge chairs or
relax in the cooling stone lounges facing the sea. There is
also a large heated spa-pool for your relaxation. An
intricately carved lumbung (rice barn) at the edge of the
beach makes a perfect venue for viewing the stunning sunsets
of Bali.
Location
Ombak Luwung is located at Jalan Nelayan (Street of the
Fisherman) in the Canggu village area. Canggu is located
approximately half way between the tourist district of Kuta
and the important Balinese temple of Tanah Lot. We are about
45 minutes drive from the international airport.
Within walking distance you will find the world famous Canggu
surf beach (also known as Echo Beach) and the Tugu Hotel,
which boasts an amazing collection of Indonesian antiquities
on display as well as an excellent restaurant. Half an hour
drive North, adjacent to the Tanah Lot temple, you will find
the Meridien Resort and Nirvana golf course, frequently
described as the most beautiful golf course in the world.
Going South towards Kuta and the airport, one comes to
Seminyak and Legian with many fine restaurants and shopping
opportunities. Our staff will be happy to provide
recommendations and directions.
Staff
Ombak Luwung is managed by a Western-owned property
management company and is fully staffed. This includes a
full-time supervisor, housekeepers, cooks, gardeners, security
staff and a full-time engineer to ensure that all facilities
run smoothly. Our staff will look after your laundry and
dry-cleaning needs and handle basic waiter service around the
property. They can arrange transport, restaurant reservations
and massage service at your request.
Events
Ombak Luwung is an ideal venue for events such as weddings
and family gatherings. Small functions of up to 15 persons can
be handled by our own staff and using our own catering
supplies. Functions of more than 15 persons will require
additional staff and supplies and are subject to additional
rental charges. Events of more than 20 persons will require
the purchase of an entertainment license from the local
village authorities and may require the hiring of an event
coordinator. Our proximity to several important Balinese
temples means that we may be asked to observe noise
restrictions or curfews. Please enquire for further details
– with adequate time to prepare, we can assure you an
unforgettable event.
Food & Beverage
Guests may have any or all meals prepared by our staff. The
timing of meals is entirely up to you. We only request that
the staff be given some advance notice of very early or very
late meal requirements. There is no charge for meal
preparation, but the costs of all food and beverage purchases
are borne by the guests. The kitchen staff will manage a
shopping account for which guests will be responsible.
Groceries are purchased at local markets or supermarkets as
needed.
