Villa Asli

Villa Asli is one of these unique places, where every detail, carefully considered, fills you with a sense of beauty and complete serenity. In its architecture and its decor, everything is entirely authentic and real, yet it avoids the sometimes sombre look of traditional style.

Here, the old flirts beautifully with a sense of natural wildness in a contemporary idiom. The extravagantly dimensioned living spaces are refuges of total luxury and well-being, available to guests throughout the day. For breakfast, lunch, tea, aperitifs, and dinner, you will be spoilt for choice between the magnificent dining room or a private terrace, the gorgeous kitchen bar or the pool house, the majestic salon or the bar counter…

Luxury and relaxation are the keywords of the establishment, which brings the art of living and the art of welcoming to a peak of perfection.

The main salon, the dining room and the Bar & TV room are three entire ‘joglos’ floating over the water amid waterlilies and giant koi carp. Brought from Java, these houses, with their massive, majestic carved ceiling structures, are the traditional style of home for the rural population of Java. More than 100 years old, they are made from solid teak, which is no longer possible nowadays. At that period, ancestral know-how and wood of extraordinarily high quality and cut, both of which factors have now disappeared, permitted the creation of true works of art.

The beauty, colour, and natural use of ancient wood in the roof-supporting framework, ceilings, and floors are breathtaking and create a unique atmosphere and sense of harmony.

These three inter-connected spaces, with their vast dimensions, are open on all sides, with no walls or enclosures, to maximise the enjoyment of the surrounding gardens and ponds and benefit from completely natural ‘air conditioning’. You find yourself in the pampering comfort and convenience of luxury and modern technology yet in constant communion with the beautiful and wild natural landscape of Bali…

The Master Suite of 130m2
The master suite is also housed in a beautiful joglo, but this time, it is closed with unique carved teak panels to allow a little technological help with the temperature if necessary. However, immense pairs of solid wood doors can be opened at any time onto the private terrace and swimming pool or onto the bathroom, which is set in a luxuriant garden where you will have difficulty choosing between a shower in the sunlight or a bath carved directly out of an excellent natural rock.

The four other suites, linked by walkways over the network of lotus ponds, are housed in ‘gladags’, the traditional barn style still used by Javanese farmers to store rice. Here transformed into a refuge for sleep, each one enjoys a private terrace over the lotus and a bathroom where giant showers and baths are sheltered or open to the sun at the heart of an Edenic garden.
