Villa Semarapura rests peacefully in Seseh, Canggu on Bali’s southwest coast. This luxurious five-bedroom estate overlooks a magical sea temple atop a dramatic outcrop of black volcanic rock. Boasting breath-taking ocean views and stunning sunsets, the lavish Villa Semarapura delivers a holiday like no other.
Spread over 5000 square meters, this expansive boasts a 20-meter swimming pool with an alfresco bar, an open-sided living pavilion, formal dining room, media room, extensive rolling gardens, and a shared tennis court. Villa Semarapura caters to all age groups seeking a unique and memorable getaway. An entire team of staff is on hand morning, noon and night to serve succulent feasts, arrange deluxe spa treatments, mix cocktails in the bar and prepare soothing baths. The villa’s driver can whisk you away on a sightseeing or shopping trip, and the housekeepers will discreetly turn down your bed each night. All that’s left for you to do is unwind, relax and enjoy the experience.
Villa Semarapura is perfect for those looking for a place in the sun that’s far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Bali’s most popular tourist spots to forget they exist. Yet, convenient enough to explore them should the mood take you. One of Asia’s best golf courses is just nine kilometers up the coast, Nirwana Bali Golf, which has incredible views of Tanah Lot Temple. Echo, Canggu, and Pererenan beaches are to the south – famous for their world-class surf and laid-back vibe. But of course, there’s really no obligation to go anywhere at all – just put your feet up and relax – Villa Semarapura will take care of the rest.
All five spacious air-conditioned bedrooms at Villa Semarapura feature teak floors, sirap (ironwood) tiled roofs, paddle fans, King Koil mattresses, blackout and sun curtains, and air-conditioned black granite bathrooms. Each suite is equipped with a satellite TV, DVD player, and Bose sound dock.
The decadent master suite accords couples the most romantic and enticingly private retreat, flanked by water features and screened by statement architectural plants. The luxurious canopied king-size bed faces a comfortable lounge area decorated with silk furnishings, antiques, and Indonesian art. A wall of glass sliding doors opens onto a large ironwood deck with a Jacuzzi/plunge pool, double sunbed, and breakfast area. In the gorgeous bathroom with a walk-in rain shower and twin vanity, a large bathtub for two sits within a glazed alcove, looking onto a private courtyard garden with an alfresco shower.
Set at right angles to one another, each in its pavilion, are two guest suites accessed across a lotus pond dotted with fountains and sharing a shaded pergola with a daybed. Huge mirrors have the effect of doubling the size of these already spacious rooms, which are each furnished with a four-poster king-size bed, comfortable sofa, and writing desk. The ensuite bathrooms and dressing areas are fitted with granite-rimmed bathtubs, walk-in rain showers, and private gardens with alfresco showers.
Stunning sea views distinguish the two guest bedrooms in the double-story wing. Ideal for families, the rooms are linked by an internal staircase. The upper bedroom has its entrance lobby, a second lobby with a bar fridge and kettle, and a dressing area fitted with a wall of wardrobes and a trundle bed for two nannies. The bedroom, furnished with a king-size bed and window seat, opens onto a private sea-view balcony with a daybed and breakfast table. The large bathroom is fitted with a bathtub, twin vanities, a walk-in rain shower, and a garden shower. The bedroom below, with twin beds that can convert to a king and a bathroom that mirrors the one above (without the garden shower), opens onto a large terrace.
Villa Semarapura’s open-sided living room on the upper floor of the living pavilion commands stunning ocean vistas and views of Cemagi’s beautiful sea temple. This glorious fan-cooled space is designed in the style of a traditional village wantilan, or meeting hall, with a tiered roof soaring high above comfortable seating, Indonesian antiques, and objets d’art resting on polished terrazzo floors. An ironwood veranda runs the entire length of the living room, providing two different breakfast areas.
Directly below is the media room, where a massive upholstered sofa is set before a 60-inch TV and Bose multi-zone sound system that also feeds the living room, dining room, pool pavilion, and garden. This light-filled air-conditioned room also houses a pool table and a ‘study’ corner with an antique desk and book library.
Villa Semarapura’s dining room seems to float suspended above the garden, with water-walls on three sides and bi-fold doors that can be opened to catch the evening breeze or closed for air-conditioned comfort. From the circular dining table, which convivially seats ten guests, spectacular views unfold across the pool and gardens to the ocean.
The view is equally stunning from the kitchen, where bar chairs line the granite-topped breakfast counter. Professionally equipped as a ‘chef’s kitchen with a commercial oven and multi-burner stove, this is the stage for informal cooking classes as guests witness the villa team cooking up a storm. A service kitchen lies behind.
Villa Semarapura offers an abundance of outdoor living space within its gorgeous tropical garden. At its heart and flanked by lotus ponds is the huge ironwood pool deck is flowing out from the media room, with eight upholstered sunbeds and other seating areas. To one side, an alfresco dining area is furnished with a table crafted from railway sleepers surrounded by ten sturdy rattan armchairs – the perfect setting for lazy lunches and star-lit barbecues.
Facing the 20-meter swimming pool (which incorporates a shallow section for kids) is a living pavilion furnished with a pair of oversized daybeds and equipped with a sunken bar; the butlers are dab hands at mixing cocktails here.
