With a 15 x 5 metre swimming pool as its centre point, the elevated garden extends all the way to the beach, bordered by a tidal river that alters its course with changing of the seasons. The pool deck is furnished with multifunctional sunbeds fashioned from weatherproof rattan, topped with mattresses and bolsters. At night a romantic ambience is created with magical soft lighting and fire bowls. Immediately in front of the river is a timber sundeck, complete with loungers and a table shaded by the trees.
The glistening black sand is rich in minerals and the view across the Badung Strait to the trio of islands known as Lembongan, Ceningan and Penida is particularly spectacular at sunrise. The garden is dotted with stone sculptures and frangipanis and bounded with coconut palms. In each corner, overlooking the beach, is a bale pavilion; one designed for romantic dining and the other for relaxation and massage.
The entrance garden is ornamented with lily ponds and Balinese statues; tiny islands support sweet-scented frangipani trees, and the courtyard offers secure parking for several cars. |
