Description
Set amongst Canggu’s picturesque rice fields, this spectacular four-bedroom property is evocative of a traditional rural community from many moons ago, so it’s quite a surprise to discover that Villa Salimett was only completed in January, 2010.
An architectural masterpiece, the villa comprises four antique Joglo-style dwellings transported from Java and a magnificent open-sided living pavilion. Rectangular shaped, constructed almost entirely of fine old teak wood and topped with a distinctive cone-shaped serap (ironwood) roof, the Joglos have been subtly modified to form four detached bedrooms; luxuriously appointed and extended with porches and modern-style tropical bathrooms. Much more than mere places to rest, these authentic dwellings set serenely within the villa’s expansive gardens are infused with Indonesian heritage and individual character and charm.
Accommodation
With its grand black wooden doors adorned with intricate carvings and capped with traditional serap roof, the entrance to Villa Salimett sets the scene for what awaits beyond. Just inside, the Zen-infused water feature leads through to a superb single-storey pavilion. This open-sided expansive building forms the heart of the four-bedroom property; although built in traditional Indonesian style, it presents a predominately contemporary look. The villa’s living / dining area, kitchen and small TV lounge are contained within, as well as an adjoining storage area, laundry / utility room and guest washroom.
From here, gardens and simple paving stones lead down to a center-stage infinity-edge pool with an adjoining and highly unusual pool bar constructed from antique woods. The pool area is edged by expansive and simple stone paving. Tucked away at the far end of the gardens rests a solitary balé (traditional Balinese gazebo). The gardens also reveal the property’s pièce de résistance: four antique-wood bedrooms, originally traditional Javanese Joglo houses, beautifully placed in a rough square formation.
Location
Villa Salimett rests among the rice fields of Berawa, one of several villages in Canggu district, a sleepy, but increasingly awakening, coastal locale home to a number of luxury private residences.
A string of wildly beautiful beaches renowned for their surf are close by, some within easy walking distance. Bali’s trendiest enclave, Seminyak, is approximately twenty minutes drive south, crammed with chic boutiques and hip n’ happening nightlife and restaurants, while less than ten minutes’ drive from the Villa is Bali’s premier sports and leisure venue, Canggu Club, providing international-standard dining and leisure facilities.
