Another private and contemporary villa, which is situated in the hub of action - inside Bali's own 'Soho' district - approximately 20 minutes from the international airport and minutes away from the shopping districts at Legian and Kuta. It is within walking distance to the many world-renowned beachside restaurants, bars and cafés - and the beautiful surf beaches at Legian and Seminyak.

Villa GajaBudha consists of a large centralized living and dining pavilion with generous built-in sitting areas under an airy loft-style rattan ceiling. Two adjoining bedroom structures, a library, a large swimming pool and outside courtyards are accessed by an adjacent covered walkway, which spans the length of the villa.

 At the far end of the swimming pool is a tiered stone plateau with a covered balé seating 6 in comfort - it's position offers a mirage reflection of the villa in the swimming pool at night.

The first of two air-conditioned master bedrooms is situated on the ground level - at the far end of the covered walkway. The bedroom features a king-size bed, polished teakwood floors and a luxurious indoor/outdoor garden en-suite.

Folding French style doors open out onto a spacious breakfast veranda that overlooks the swimming pool and manicured gardens. Directly above is second master bedroom, which is accessed via a set of teakwood stairs. The bedroom also features a king-size bed with al fresco style bathroom and an open-air cocktail balcony that overlooks the pool and tropical garden setting below.

A spacious air-conditioned library - with its own en suite bathroom - features a large daybed and doubles as a third bedroom.

The dining area - seating 10 in comfort - features a smart teakwood dining setting with leather-upholstered chairs. The setting overlooks an adjacent lotus pond, living room and lengthy swimming pool - with a tropical backdrop of soaring coco-palms providing a perfect evening setting amidst a plush tribal décor with subtle hues of aubergine, burnt orange and natural contrasts of wood, stone and sands.

Indeed 'all embracing' is a good way of describing this tropical dream retreat, with its tasteful Asiatic touches, terracotta tiled floors, contemporary design, central and private location - and it's close proximity to the 'buzzy' cosmopolitan atmosphere of Legian and Seminyak.
