THE VILLA

On arriving at Wijaya Giri you first come to the Pool house which comprises of two double bedrooms, an open plan living space and galley kitchen. The bedrooms have en suite indoor / outdoor bathrooms with walk in showers. The interiors are consistent throughout, clean fresh white walls and a lovely pastel green for the door and window frames. The large L shaped sofa in the shared living area looks through the tall French windows and out onto the swimming pool, which is placed in between this house and the main villa, and has a sun bathing platform or projector screen backdrop to while away the afternoon watching a spot of cricket!

The main house is an exact extension in style and its recent refurbishment is evident in its up to the minute mod cons and simple but slick interiors. The high ceilings and mahogany bannisters create a sense of elegant colonialism.

Walking into the main living area there are two sofas and tall French windows that lead out onto a path that takes you to a discreet yoga platform or meditation space. The sitting room (which has a sofa and flat screen TV) and living area are connected with the kitchen which is all open plan and well equipped. A separate laundry room and office are out of the way and hidden behind tall, handsome warehouse pulley doors. The main terrace runs the length of the villa and faces the limited Frangipani lined garden. A great space for dining and generally unwinding - this is the main dining spot for all guests.

BEDROOMS

The first bedroom, a double with a 4 poster bed, is on the ground floor, to the left of the entrance hall / sitting room and looks onto the garden and pool. It has an impressive en suite with sunken bath made from polished cement, a walk in shower, loo and two basins. The second double bedroom is at the top of the staircase which in essence is the same as the room below, albeit a big bigger and without the bath. Across the hallway is a fantastic twin bedroom with single 4 poster beds, a large cot and great space for changing a baby or laying out all of their kit. A small en suite bathroom with walk in shower is adjoining. The final bedroom is a generous sized master suite with King 4 poster bed, a large L shaped sofa, walk in wardrobe and screened off en suite bathroom with double walk in shower, twin vanities and a separate W.C.

On the other side of the pool, closer to the main entrance, is the second building - the pool house - with a further 2 en-suite bedrooms.
