Villa Seascape

Rare is the Bali villa that offers direct access onto the beach from its pool terrace, as well as fabulous ocean views from nearly every room. The sublime Villa Seascape dazzles on a crescent of bleached-white sand on Nusa Lembongan, a small island just half an hour’s boat ride from Sanur.

Stunning indoor and outdoor living space, a media room that can be set up as a fifth bedroom and five-star service including a full-time chef is sure to attract a devoted following for this tropical beach haven — a perfect escape for families or groups of friends.

ABOUT VILLA SEASCAPE

Villa Seascape is a stunning home on the ocean’s edge that is set to raise the bar for contemporary tropical living.

Seascape is the perfect name for this spectacular villa, which offers expansive ocean vistas from its prime beachfront position. Bali-based Italian architect Valentina Audrito shaped the ultra-modern design with her signature playful use of space, soaring ceilings and creative blend of natural and fabricated material. The result is a laid-back-beach-house-meets-luxury-loft-living vibe that encourages guests to kick off their Jimmy Choos in favour of uber-cool (but uncompromisingly comfortable) barefoot bliss.

The maxi-minimalist design aesthetic is perfectly pitched, with a beach-chic colour palette of neutrals and aquas, and a circular theme softening the rectangular shapes, from decorative alcoves to bathroom mirrors to the pool terrace. All the rooms are adorned with natural materials — polished pebble and teakwood floors, terrazzo walls and bathtubs, bamboo screens, seagrass rugs, custom-designed furniture using plaited rope and rattan, and shells decorating woven baskets, curtain tie-backs and wooden bowls.

Among the contemporary luxuries are sublimely comfortable King Koil beds, crisp cotton bed-linen, 52-inch TVs, SONOS music system, Bose speakers and home cinema. And attention to the smallest detail is evident in thoughtful extras such as beach bags in the bedrooms and Sensatia toiletries in the bathroom.

The entire family will love the many imaginative spaces here, whether hanging out in the huge netted chill-out zone suspended above the living area, lounging in the shallows of the 15-metre pool, gathering around the beach-edge fire-pit for sunset cocktails, or sprawling in front of the cinema screen for a post-dinner movie.

While remaining discreetly out of sight until required, the staff is on hand to help guests make the most of their stay; among them is an accomplished chef who can whip up everything from simple lunches to beachfront barbecues and gourmet dinners.

VILLA LAYOUT

Villa Seascape’s double-height living room, media room and three guest bedrooms occupy a contemporary two-storey ocean-facing building. The fourth guest bedroom is housed on the upper floor of the Garden Cottage, a separate building to the rear of the main house. The service kitchen is situated on the ground floor of the Garden Cottage. From the entrance, steps across a courtyard pond lead directly into the living space with open-plan guest kitchen to the left, ground-level bedroom suite and guest cloakroom to the right and, down a few steps, the main living room.

This opens onto a dining terrace, beyond which is the swimming pool, sun terrace, pool bar and beach edge seating around a fire-pit. Off the living area is the media room, which can be set up as a fifth bedroom with attached bathroom. Two further guest bedrooms flank the upper level, linked by an aerial bridge that also gives access to the netting-floored mezzanine above the entrance and kitchen area.

LIVING AREAS

Living Room
Cooled by ceiling fans and the sea breeze, Villa Seascape’s soaring double-height living room is the villa’s social heart. This impressive split-level space is designed with easy entertaining in mind. Glass doors fold back fully onto a double-height terrace where a dining table comfortably seating ten commands pool and ocean views. Within, clusters of contemporary modular sofas and woven rattan ottomans invite both sparkling conversation and quiet repose.

The beautifully designed kitchen, with distinctive wedge-shaped island counter is slightly elevated and lightly screened behind columns of distinctive ceramic lamps. While it gives guests the convenience of a fridge, hob and coffee machine, the chef prepares meals in the staff kitchen behind the main villa building.

Media Room
Massive bamboo-plaited doors to one side of the living room fold back fully to reveal the media room, where an enormous circular mattress piled high with cushions sits on the polished concrete floor facing a 260cm retractable projector screen. Midnight blue cinema-style blackout curtains mean you can watch a movie here any time of the day without the tropical sunlight intruding.

To one side are pool-and-ocean views through sliding doors that open onto the terrace. Opposite, mirrored doors open onto a huge semi-open bathroom with walls of mirror and coloured terrazzo, statement blue terrazzo tub with rain shower above, and an alfresco shower in the courtyard. The media room can also be set up as a fifth bedroom if necessary.

Mezzanine "hammock"
Accessed from the aerial walkway above the living area is a netting-floored mezzanine suspended like a huge hammock above the guest kitchen. This is the perfect spot for kids (and adventurous adults) to curl up on a pile of cushions and enjoy a good book or movie (there’s a wall-mounted 52-inch TV with satellite channels), while keeping an eye on activities in the living area below.

Poolside entertainment terrace
This stunningly designed poolside space spills out beyond the dining terrace towards the spectacular 15-metre swimming pool. On one side, over-sized beanbags rest on the pebble-stone deck in front of a cushioned bench built into a gracefully curved coral wall.

Across the pool is the pool bar where an elongated island of polished concrete and aqua-coloured timber stretches out under a sail awning, providing an outdoor kitchen and a sit-up bar counter for alfresco meals. Inches away from the beach, semi-circular polished concrete seating curves around a fire-pit — the perfect place for sunset cocktails and after-dinner star-gazing.

BEDROOMS

All five bedroom suites are light, airy, and beautifully designed, with floors of either polished concrete or smoothly ground pebbles, woven seagrass matts, and a restful aqua-meets-neutrals palette. Furniture includes comfortable beds with deep King Koil mattresses and quality cotton bedding, and among the thoughtful extras are reading lights, kimonos and slippers, and toiletries from renowned Bali brand Sensatia.

Garden Cottage Guest Suite
On the upper floor of the Garden Cottage, a super-king bed rests under a romantic white-crepe-tented ceiling before a wall of mirror that enhances the sense of space. Opposite, a comfortably upholstered sofa faces a 52-inch wall-mounted TV with satellite channels; draw the gauze curtains to conceal it if you prefer.

Lofty double doors of plaited bamboo slide back to reveal the open-sided, bamboo-screened bathroom with celadon porcelain basins and, behind curtains of hanging beads, the large shower enclosure.

Cloud Guest Suite
This bedroom is on the ground floor of the main house and delivers stunning pool-and-sea views from its king-size bed as well as from the terrace beyond a wall of bi-fold doors. Equally dazzling is the air-conditioned bathroom with its bathtub scooped out on one side of a terrazzo island, double basins decorated with stars, multi-hued terrazzo walls, indoor shower, and private garden courtyard with alfresco shower.

Boat Guest Suite
A surprising feature dominates this upper-floor guest suite: the statement sea-view bathtub set into a zen-style teak-wood platform behind the king-size bed. The view is even better from the private sun-trap balcony with neon-pink chairs.

A pair of stylish bamboo chairs provides a space to sit and change in comfort within the bathroom, where blue and white basins sit on a terrazzo vanity facing trees through a bamboo screen, and beaded curtains camouflage the walk-in rain-shower.

The Triple Room
Ideal for kids or sharers, this second upper-floor bedroom suite has three single beds, two of which can be joined to make a double, and one of which can be used as a sofa. Two rope ottomans sit on the polished concrete floor that flows past floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors onto a balcony furnished with a double chair facing the magnificent ocean vista. The bathroom continues the sea theme, with colourful twin sinks, a circular terrazzo bathtub and separate shower enclosure hidden behind a curtain of beads.

The Media Room
The luxurious media room has been designed to effortlessly transform into a stunning ocean-view fifth bedroom.

STAFF

One of the many delights of staying in a private villa is the personalised service guests enjoy. Villa Seascape’s gracious, well-trained team are on hand whenever required, and otherwise stay discreetly behind the scenes respecting guests’ privacy. All take pleasure in delighting guests with warm, friendly Bali-style hospitality.

Villa Manager
The villa manager is responsible for villa operations, and oversees staff.

Chef
The villa’s skilled private chef will happily prepare anything from the Western, Asian, vegetarian and children’s suggestion menus.

Butler
Your key point of contact, the butler is on hand to take your food orders, serve meals, and to assist guests during their stay.

Housekeeper
A housekeeper attends to daily cleaning and domestic duties.

Garden and pool
The villa garden and pool are tended to on a daily basis.

Security
The villa is kept safe and secure by night security working in shifts.

DINING

A particular highlight of a Seascape holiday is in-villa dining. Guests at Villa Seascape enjoy the expertise of their own very accomplished chef who is on hand to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner daily.

The villa provides complimentary daily breakfast as well as extensive restaurant-style priced menu of Indonesian, Asian and international dishes from poolside snacks, salads and light lunches to seafood barbecues and gourmet dinners – all served home-style either on the dining terrace or at the pool bar counter.

The chef is happy to tailor meals to meet personal taste, special requests and dietary preferences, and the menu includes vegetarian options and children’s favourites. A stay is surely not complete without sampling some of Bali’s celebrated culinary specialities such as Babi Guling (roast spiced suckling pig) and Ayam Betutu (fragrant Balinese steamed chicken).

We encourage you to plan meals a day in advance with the villa manager and chef, to allow time to shop for the freshest ingredients — many of which need to be ordered in from mainland Bali.

FAMILIES

Beautiful private villa + white-sand beach + tropical sunshine + charming staff makes Villa Seascape the perfect choice for families. With generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, there’s plenty of room for kids to let off steam, as well as for parents to find peaceful corners of escape.

Families are sure to congregate around the pool, where young kids can enjoy the wide shallow ledge that runs the full length of the pool. Meals are fun when served at the sail-covered pool bar counter – no need to change out of a wet swimsuit!

Kids of all ages will love the choice of entertainment zones within the villa. The netting-floored mezzanine is a super-cool space for sprawling in front of the TV suspended high above the living room, and the home cinema set-up in the media room, with huge drop-down screen is sure to be a hit.

SPA

Feel like a body scrub or massage? Just ask our staff to bring the spa to you! We can recommend deluxe treatments carried out in the privacy of your own villa by fully trained therapists from a reputable local spa. (Alternatively, stroll along the beach to Glo Spa at Sandy Bay Beach Club.) Here’s a sample of what’s on the menu (extra charges will apply):

Balinese Massage
Release built up tension with a traditional Balinese massage. Using a combination of gentle stretches, acupressure and aromatherapy oils to stimulate the flow of blood, oxygen and energy around your body, you will feel totally relaxed in no time.

Foot Reflexology
Foot reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet which correspond to every part of the body. Through application of pressure on these reflexes tension is relieved and circulation improved leaving you feeling balanced.

Body Scrub
A full body scrub will exfoliate and hydrate your skin leaving it soft and smooth. A rejuvenating scrub combines an abrasive material such as salt, coffee, rice bran or pecan hulls with essential oils to remove any impurities and make your skin glow.

Manicure / Pedicure
Our hands and feet work hard for us every day but rarely get the attention they deserve. Treat them to a manicure or pedicure, which usually comes with the added bonus of a quick hand or foot massage.
