This private
villa is situated on three hectares (7 acres) of gently sloping hillside
overlooking a lush river valley slightly south of Bali's cultural and arts
center Ubud and adjacent to the "Linda Garland Estate". The villa is surrounded
by a carefully landscaped garden with lotus ponds, a riverside massage
hut and tropical fruit trees.
Villa "Pelangi"
(House of Rainbows) was modeled after the seven chakras (energy centers
of the human body) and the interior design reflects the colors of a prism
from the first level up to the top. |
| There are two
large rose-and-burgundy colored guest rooms on the lower level nearest
the river. Each is appointed with antique furniture and writing desks,
ceiling fans and French doors opening onto private patios. The air-conditioned
"Raja Room" has an oversized canopy bed, the "Rani Room" has an over-sized
four-poster bed. Both share an indoor/outdoor bathroom. Bay windows in
the tub open onto frangipani trees and a lush lawn.
Up one flight
of stairs is a spacious and airy veranda-like living room offering jungle
views under a soaring roof. An expandable teak wood table can accommodate
up to ten diners. There is also a cozy conversation area with floor pillows
and a more formal sitting area with oriental rugs on hardwood floors and
antique furnishings. |

further up is the fully equipped galley-style kitchen, a dining area with

studio and showroom including a meeting area with a carved antique napping
bed, all with river and terrace views.
Three steps up
is the violet-themed master suite with a huge antique Chinese opium bed,
Javanese hand-carved walls, and French doors opening onto a private garden
and expansive iron wood deck overlooking the waterfall. |
| The Roman-style
bath is half open to the sky, and a family-size tub perches high above
the manicured garden with the rushing river in view below.
A spiral staircase
from the foyer leads to a sleeping loft with double bed and study with
Chippendale desk. A ladder/stairway leads to the "white" level, the Meditation
Tower and crown of the house. This open pavilion is reserved as a sanctuary
solely for private use by the owner. |
