Villa für 4 personen.
Wow what a view! Far from the hustle and bustle of Seminyak and very close to the sleepy yet increasingly trendy surfing village of Balian is Villa Tao. As soon as you walk in the front door you get an amazing
sense of space. This 900sqm mansion is perched 35meters above sea level,
with simply breathtaking views out over the renowned surf break at
Balian and to the horizon. The sparking black sand beach is just a
stones throw down the sloping grass hill lined by old coconut trees.
Both 2 master bedrooms have panoramic ocean views, even the bathrooms
have amazing views. In fact every direction you look it is like a
tropical postcard framed by a mixture of modern contemporary
architecture and lots of old wood.
Villa Tao draws a number of
unique features together to make it a truly special place to stay. The
owner designed the house focusing using only the best recycled timbers
and with a focus on collecting and saving water. The 2 expansive
upstairs bedrooms are 200year old Javanese Gladek houses which have been
slightly modified to maximize the mesmerizing views and increase
comfort levels yet still give you that antique, old teak wood feel. King
bed, AC, ceiling fans, TV, DVD, ipod dock stereo come standard. The
en-suite bathrooms are all moulded black polished concrete complete with
2 showers (1inside, 1 outside), and a bath. In fact each bedroom has
its own 20sqm private balcony and feels like your very own little house.
There is ocean view from every bedroom window.
The expansive living
and dinning area have been interestingly designed to fully capture the
cool ocean breezes, take in the spectacular ocean vistas and integrate
the 18m infinity pool so it feels like the pool and ocean are all part
of the living space! There is a large Ulin hardwood table with luxurious
cow hide leather arm chairs, easily seating 10 guests, a huge sunken
lounge over looking the pool and ocean and there is also a massive media
room equipped with the latest LED TV, BluRay DVD player, High speed
WIFI and Satellite TV. Throughout the living area, pool area and rooftop
there is an integrated sound system with 3 zones and ipod docking
station for ease of use.
The rooftop has been turned into a 170sqm
‘greenroof’ entertaining area. This really is the perfect place for a
cocktail, take in the sunset and listen to some relaxing music through
the rooftop sound system.
