This Villa’s location is second to none, with 100 metres of absolute beachfront and stunning ocean views from all over the estate. The villa’s privacy is protected by one and a half acres of mature gardens (bordered by the beach and a small river), but only steps away are the wild expanses of black-sand beaches that stretch to the horizon in either direction. A pleasant stroll along the beach to the left brings you to Bali hotspots W Hotel, Potato Head, La Lucciola and Ku De Ta, and only four kilometres away are the many boutiques, bars and restaurants of Seminyak.

This Villa is simply extraordinary: the very essence of Bali has been distilled into a single spectacular beachfront estate on Bali’s south-west coast that captures the hearts of newly-weds as well as the headlines of the world’s best lifestyle magazines.

As a luxury destination villa and sought-after wedding venue, the five-bedroom Atas Ombak is unrivalled. Could any other villa come close to matching the infusion of island spirit and international standards in such a spell-binding beachfront location? Guests enjoy over 100 metres of direct beach access, and the 14-metre swimming pool is mere steps from the sand.

Set between the pool and the main villa building is the enchanting, open-sided, alang-alang-thatched living and entertainment space – the villa’s social heart. Across lotus ponds, the two-storey main building houses the dining room, media room, two guest bedrooms and the master suite with its private garden plunge pool. The two ‘Ocean’ bedrooms occupy a delightfully private pavilion to the far side of the grounds, close to the beach. All of the rooms are majestic, elegantly furnished and oriented for those magnificent ocean views.
