Villa Kawi
About Villa Kawi
Villa Kawi’s tranquil setting at the end of a leafy avenue creates a peaceful hideaway right in the heart of Seminyak; a district famed for its long sandy beach, world-class restaurants, trendy bars and designer boutiques.
Named after a sacred mountain in East Java, where thousands of pilgrims go to seek blessings, Villa Kawi has a contemporary Balinese design, blending dark and natural timber with creamy stone. An ode to elegant tropical living, minimal adornments include sprays of orchids and a smattering of local artwork. The atmospheric open-sided living pavilion has tall sloping ceilings and overlooks a swimming pool fringed with panda nus palms and frangipani trees. Two spacious air-conditioned bedrooms have delightful courtyard garden bathrooms. For those needing an additional bedroom and extra space, Kawi can be connected to the adjoining one-bedroomed Villa Solo.
Long-standing staff provide a warm welcome and a discreet professional service. The villa has a guest kitchen, with mini bar and complimentary tea and coffee, while an executive chef prepares tasty meals in the staff kitchen from an extensive a la carte menu that includes western and Asian dishes. He is also happy to accommodate any special requests – from kid’s meals to four-course feasts and pool-side barbecues.
Whether you want to stroll down to the world-class dining venues of ‘eat street’, shop till you drop, lounge on the beach, or sip cocktails at sunset, the opportunities that come with a stay at Villa Kawi are endless.
Villa Layout
The swimming pool is a central feature at this single-storey villa, with an open-plan living area and kitchen on one side, and two adjoining bedrooms on the other. A door in the garden wall connects to Villa Solo for those who wish to add a third bedroom.
Living Areas
Villa Kawi’s entrance leads into a fan-cooled, tropical-style living pavilion with cool stone floors and a steeply pitched roof supported by stout teakwood columns. Two rattan sofas piled with colourful cushions make a relaxing lounge area arranged around a wooden coffee table. A highly polished wooden dining table seats six and a sideboard displays magazines, Balinese-themed coffee table books and an iPod dock.
A guest kitchen with granite counters adjoins the lounge room, and provides all the essentials for tea and coffee-making, cool drinks from the mini bar, or for whipping up a quick meal.
The living room and kitchen open onto the pool and garden, where four loungers shaded by a parasol are arranged on a timber pool deck.
Bedrooms
The villa’s two air-conditioned bedrooms are identical in size and features, with soaring ceilings and smooth ivory-hued stone floors. One bedroom has hints of green in the soft furnishings, the other deep burgundy.
King-size beds (one of which beds can be converted to twins) are draped in silky mosquito nets and dressed in crisp white linens and deluxe pillows. Comfortable chairs form a sitting area and a flat-screen satellite TV with DVD player provides entertainment.
Delightful semi-outdoor garden bathroom shave marble floors, bathtub, walk-in rain shower and customised amenities.
