Puri Sejuk Villa
Another Villa at Canggu
3 Bedroom - Price : Low USD 345 | High USD 415 | Peak USD 550
Beach villa in Canggu seseh beach Villa Puri Sejuk Estate is a
truly magical and unique beachfront retreat set within a stunning rice
field location. The 25-are Estate is at the end of a private drive
running parallel to the beach, and the entrance is via a wooden
footbridge over a narrow river, which is contained within a stone
channel complete with a waterfall to one side of the house.
Puri Sejuk means ‘Cool Palace’; the fresh sea breezes are cool and
refreshing, and the property is undoubtedly cool in both senses of the
word.
The coconut grove gardens roll gently down to the beach and the
unbroken view of Bali’s magnificent coastline is breathtaking. The villa
is constructed of entirely organic materials, the first of its kind,
and is a labour of love designed and created by its Italian owner, Kiko
Croserio. Handcrafted with inspiration, the property was not built for
business purposes; instead it is a genuine home and the realization of a
dream.
Suitable for families, honeymooners or perhaps an artist or writer
looking for tranquility and inspiration, this serene fully
air-conditioned 3-bedroom villa, can accommodate up to seven people, and
is located on the outskirts of the traditional Balinese village of
Seseh.
Encompassed by nature within peaceful rural surroundings, it is
nevertheless only thirty minutes drive from the fashionable shops, world
class restaurants and vibrant nightspots of Seminyak, and about
forty-five minutes’ drive from Bali’s International Airport. Most of the
island’s main tourist attractions are within easy access.
A pathway and gentle cobbled steps lead through the soft green lawns
to a freeform swimming pool punctuated by a flourishing fan palm on a
small island in the centre. A comfortable outdoor leisure and barbeque
area is furnished with cushioned daybeds and a table, next to a poolside
shower room. A hedge of hibiscus borders a gently swaying field of rice
and a walk through the coconut grove will take you down to the beach.
The views are spectacular and the melodious sound of the waves is
constant.
Villa Puri Sejuk Facilities
The downstairs living area is entered through tall, folding glass
doors that open up to the garden and pool, allowing the natural light
and cool breezes to permeate; the richly patterned floor is cool
underfoot. Fully equipped with satellite television, DVD player, CD
player, IDD telephone and broadband internet connection.
A solid spiral staircase fashioned from merbau wood leads up to the
“deck of the ship”, and when you walk into this room you will understand
why the villa has been named after a cool palace. This enchanting
upstairs living room boasts 180˚ of windows, each of which swing wide
open on a horizontal hinge, to generate a sense of open-air living. The
vista from here is truly awe-inspiring, with a spectacular panorama of
rice fields, coconut trees, beach, Indian Ocean, and dramatic coastline
all the way down to Uluwatu on the southwestern most tip of the island.
West facing, this is also a wonderful spot for enjoying the sunsets,
with comfortable cushioned sofas positioned to the best advantage.
The adjoining master bedroom is hung with diaphanous drapes and
furnished with a desk, stylish table lamps and built-in storage space.
It features a king-sized bed on a raised platform embellished with a
bamboo veneer. An antique sliding door leads into a panoramic wooden
bathroom with a brass washbasin and shower. The self-contained guest
pavilion is located outside, adjacent to the swimming pool. This African
influenced circular gazebo is painted red on the outside and boasts a
conical thatched roof, bordered by gnarled frangipanis, a majestic
breadfruit tree, and spiky pandanus. A red and black motif is woven into
the smooth pebbled terrace and the river is channeled along one side.
Guests will be soothed to sleep by the rushing water as it negotiates
the weir.
The one-bedroom pavilion with en-suite shower room and dressing
room, features ‘bengkirai’ or ironwood floors, timber shelving, built-in
cupboard space and a canopied king size bed upon a raised platform.
Puri Sejuk is well suited for parties and barbeques and the beach is
accessed via the garden. The ocean immediately in front of the property
is safe for swimming and canoeing, and canoes are available for use.
Further down the beach is dangerous for swimming but renowned for its
world class surf breaks. The flat quiet country roads are ideal for
bicycling and five pushbikes are available. A car and driver is also
available for excursions.
