Seseh Villa 3725

With panoramic views over luxuriant rice fields stretching all the way to the Indian Ocean, the stunning Villa 3725 provide a lavish escape on Bali’s scenic south-west coast. Yet this idyllic hideaway is only 10 minutes away from Canggu, Bali’s cosmopolitan hotspot, and even closer to the dramatic and photogenic sea temple of Tanah Lot.

A tranquil paradise with endless paddy views, Villa 3735 offers an opportunity to revel in the Balinese countryside. This entrancing, four-bedroom villa in Seseh-Tanah Lot on Bali’s south-west coast is tucked into a two-villa estate, offering exclusivity and a host of facilities.

Paying homage to local materials, the villa showcases Indonesian sensibilities both in its design and its decor. The stone flooring is cool on sunny days and wooden furniture tastefully placed around the house completes the overall effect.

Multiple pavilions ensure privacy. The master bedroom stands tall on the first floor above the living room, while two guest rooms share a separate pavilion in front of the long swimming pool. The last bedroom is perhaps the most coveted, sitting as it does near the entrance of the villa, allowing easy exit without disturbing the others.

Managed by a friendly team of staff, no wish of yours is left unfulfilled at Villa 3725. Massage by the poolside in the thatched balé? Drinks on the patio? A delicious meal customised to your taste buds? Nothing is too much trouble for the willing staff here. A stay at this blissful villa is bound to be relaxing and peaceful.

INDOOR LIVING

The open-plan living room dominates the main pavilion with artistic, unfinished stone flooring and sliding glass doors that lead onto the poolside veranda. Bench-style cushioned sofas are arranged around a rug and coffee table, with a large flat screen, mounted television in front. A large, wooden dining table sits adjacent to the living room, creating a dining area for 10 guests. The modern, fully equipped kitchen takes up the right extreme corner of the room, with a large breakfast island and bar stools around it. The room has been crafted using natural materials like stone, wood and straw, and the abundance of natural light owing to the sliding doors makes it a cheery space. Green plants have been effectively used to liven up the room, making it seemingly merge into the outdoors.

OUTDOOR LIVING

Glass doors slide open to convert the air-conditioned living room into an open-sided pavilion leading onto a covered veranda dotted with cushioned chairs and large potted plants. This is the perfect place for evening tea or to catch up on some gossip. Manicured lawns spread out in front, with a long, rectangular swimming poolon one side and relaxing sun loungers lined up along it. The guest bedroom pavilion also has a long veranda shared by both the rooms, ideal for a little me-time. The pool ends at a thatched balé, a blissful spot for open-air massages.
