Aqua Villa

The ultra avant-garde, four-bedroom villa known as ‘Aqua’ is located in the heart of Bali’s fashionable Oberoi area, just footsteps away from Seminyak’s sweeping beach, vibrant night scene, world-class restaurants and chic boutiques.

Taking an inspirational approach to modern lifestyle, the villa is constructed on two levels and set within a large walled garden.

It presents a 23-metre swimming pool, outdoor Jacuzzi, steam room, alfresco dining facilities and soundproof party room, in addition to four spacious bedrooms with queen-size beds and en-suite bathrooms.

There is a secure carport at the main entrance.

Boasting funky tropical architecture, exemplified by an abundance of space, natural light and places to chill, Aqua was completed in 2007 and constructed of local materials.

It was designed by ‘Gfab’, a well-respected, international, architectural company with an impressive portfolio of aesthetically beautiful villas, resorts and boutique hotels in Australia, Southeast Asia and Spain.

A party villa for relaxation and play, Aqua offers a captivating blend of luxury, recreation, party facilities, privacy, and exemplary service.

Aqua is located in the very centre of what is now considered to be the Seminyak ‘Prime District’ – a safe, upmarket neighbourhood that is home to some of the classiest properties on the island.

It is close to the well-known Oberoi and Legian Hotels, twenty minutes' drive from the airport, and convenient for all of Bali’s main shops, shopping malls, tourist attractions and vibrant nightspots.

The villa is just a few minutes walk from a wide choice of internationally acclaimed restaurants, including the famous Ku Dé Ta, La Lucciola, Living Room and Hu’u Bar.

It is also within walking distance of a varied collection of chic designer boutiques, and just 300 metres from the sweeping Oberoi Beach, renowned for its world-class surf breaks, panoramic coastline views and legendary sunsets.

Easily accessible sporting amenities include a choice of spectacular championship golf courses, tennis, horseback riding, dive schools, sailing cruises and much more.

Garden, Pool, and Chill-out Areas The entrance to the Zen-inspired property leads guests past an ornamental pond into a walled garden dominated by a 23-metre swimming pool, which is bordered by flat lawns punctuated with palms and frangipani trees.

The spectacular pool extends the length of the garden and features a wide, deep channel for swimming laps, in addition to stepped levels that allow guests to sit, lounge or lie in the water without actually having to swim.

Four poolside cabanas – actually modern translations of traditional Balinese ‘bale’ relaxation pavilions – appear to float upon the surface of the water.

Each bale is fitted with a yielding mattress and sheltered from the sun by white roller blinds and a white Sunbrella canopy.

Located in the centre, with two bales on either side, is a large bubbling, open-air Jacuzzi.

Indeed, the theme of The Aqua is total relaxation, and everything has been designed around the comfort of the guests.

Another restful seating area can be found at one end of the pool, where an external staircase leads to the sunny rooftop level.

Barbeque A black terrazzo outdoor buffet table complete with barbeque grill, offers a facility for alfresco party dining.

Steam Room The large walk-in steam room is located in one corner of the garden.

Big enough to accommodate four people, it features a frosted glass door, bench seating, a non-slip white granite floor, and creamy-white Palimanan stone walls extending into a arched ceiling.

Party Room Accessed from the garden via solid sliding wood doors, the soundproofed party room is ultra private, spacious, windowless and cool.

The air-conditioned room is equipped with

• ceiling fans
• wall-mounted, 39-inch, LCD flat screen satellite TV
• DVD player
• quality sound system with surround sound speakers positioned on the ceiling

It is furnished with large upholstered sofas and corner units, a coffee table and built-in shelving.

A black terrazzo and teakwood bar is positioned at one end, adjacent to a guest washroom.

Mirrored detailing adorns the white walls, lights are recessed into the ceiling, and there is plenty of floor space for dancing.

With no fear of disturbing the neighbours, this room presents a wonderful party facility and can comfortably accommodate 20-30 guests.

Rooftop terrace and sundeck On the rooftop level, fringed by pink flowering bougainvillea, a large open-air terrace is fitted with a huge 2 x 4-metre daybed, which is sheltered by a pergola dripping in red passionflowers.

An open-air walkway winds around this upper level, girded by a glass wall and backed in places by banded wooden screens, with daybeds located at various intervals.

A sunny timber deck, with a shallow ornamental pond on three sides, presents a great place for sunbathing with the provision of four large sun-mattresses.

In this peaceful, elevated spot, guests will feel on top of the world.
