Villa Baladewa One

The villa was designed by renowned local architect Popo Danes and the architectural influences are essentially contemporary tropical. Villa Baladewa is well appointed and offers all the comforts you would expect at home and as such has universal appeal.

Comfort is king and this is reflected in the amenities at Villa Baladewa, which include a large double sized poolside pavilion with twin king sized mattresses covered in tasteful blue Sunbrella fabric and overhead fan to ensure a flow of air. The pavilion has its own cool box and there is an electrical socket, which is handy for plugging in your iPod, working on your laptop or watching a movie.

Literally a step away from the sanctuary of the pavilion is a refreshing 11m x 3.5m swimming pool which is lined with light-green stone tiles imported from the neighbouring island of Java. The filtration system is chlorine based with a cascading overflow to the garden level.

The split level design of the pool and garden with its coconut palms, bamboo and tropical flora is an interesting concept. In the garden are two sun beds and there are plenty of garden tables and chairs available throughout the villa for you to use.

Living Areas and Bedrooms
Villa Baladewa has two spacious lounges, one open and one enclosed with full air-conditioning and audio/visual facilities including satellite television, DVD player and Bose stereo system. All rooms at the villa are connected by phone via a PABX exchange so if you need to check the children or speak to friends they are only a phone call away.

On the ground floor of the main house is the open lounge with swimming pool and garden views. Upstairs adjacent to the master suite are large double glass paneled doors that open into the upper lounge, which is home to the entertainment system. This room is fully air-conditioned by an LG Art Cool Plasma AC.

The windows can be opened to give the feeling of open living; this is the traditional style which the local Balinese favour. At night the doors can be closed and locked. For extra security the villa is surrounded by a high wall and one of the staff lives in the staff quarters at the rear of the villa so there is always someone home.

There are several places around the swimming pool where you can relax on a sun bed, sit with friends and a drink or enjoy a snack. This is also a great villa for families with older children.

In the lounge there is a stereo system for playing CD's and Satellite TV with over 30 channels including over 5 movie channels, several sports and news channels. There is also a DVD player so you can watch your own movies.
