Situated in the fashionable village of
Parerenan and built along a 'green-belt' of tall tropical
palms, this contemporary 5-star retreat is one of Bali's
newest resort-style villas.
Just 30 minutes from the international
airport - and 20 minutes from the beach and restaurant
districts at Legian and Seminyak - Palm River Villa is a
striking multifaceted structure that successfully integrates a
series of waterways with landscaped grounds that slope down to
a soft flowing river.
5 air-conditioned double bedrooms with
en-suite bathrooms.
Behind an intricately carved-stone wall -
located at the main entrance and accessed by a series of steps
and walkways - is a spacious open-planned living and dining
pavilion. With it's simplistically styled interior, the space
consists of a large built-in cushioned sitting area and a
smart dining setting that seats 10 in comfort - all under a
majestic thatched-roof ceiling.
Another eye-catching feature is the
polished teakwood floors that merge with detached stone steps
that 'float' above a still pond. The complete setting has
panoramic views of the lawns and swimming pool - with its
'island style' thatched roof bar and underwater barstools -
and soaring palm trees beyond.
Each of Palm River's bedroom suites are contained within a
single split-leveled and double-storied wing that is directly
adjacent to the main living pavilion. The wing is accessed by
another network of waterway steps and teakwood stairs. It
consists of 5 well-appointed double bedrooms with lavish
en-suite bathrooms and walk-in dressing rooms.
The master suite - positioned on the
second level - features an enclosing open-planned veranda that
looks out over the pool and river, while the lower suites are
flanked by a series of cascading lotus ponds. Each fully
equipped en-suite features a sunken spa-tub set against a
clear glass wall that offers tranquil scenes of the water
features behind it.
All bedrooms have satellite televisions
with DVD players, telephones and are fully air-conditioned.
Also on the upper level is an air-conditioned entertainment
and games room, packed with many mod cons including a
wide-screen satellite television and a video projector for
watching 'cinema style' DVD movies.
Other facilities include a fully equipped European-style
kitchen wing with a full staff - which can cater to dinner
parties for up to 12 guests, maid services and round the clock
security. But it's the river, which offers it's light flowing
rapids and waterfalls and soothing aquatic sounds that gives
this highly sought after property its unique ambience and its
name.
