Our beautiful four-bedroom riverside home in South-west Bali; contemporary in design with a healthy dose of Chinoiserie adding the style and mysticism of the Orient into the mix. We chose this location for its natural beauty and rural charm and of course its proximity to the beach and the famous Tanah Lot sea temple, while Seminyak’s good times and shopping are only a 13-kilometre drive away.

Each of our four bedrooms is tastefully decorated with antique Chinese furnishings and features hardwood floors, queen-size beds, ensuite bathrooms (two of which are semi-open-air), and views over the river. There are dining options for both formal indoor feasts and relaxed alfresco meals on the terrace. The focal point, however, is our 15-metre infinity edge pool that looks out over the river.

Built on three levels the villa hugs the riverbank and is surrounded by mature trees, which bring with them an abundance of shade and wildlife, where butterflies, singing insects, frogs and birds all congregate to fill the day with colour and song; a quintessential tropical holiday experience.
