Complex of Villas - Seminyak Villas - Price range: US$ 200 - US$ 400

Laksmana Garden Villas or ‘LGV’ is a contemporary Balinese-style enclave of four private villas set within the luxurious Laksmana Villas private estate. Each villa features its own private swimming pool, and all villas are supported by an on-site, full service master kitchen, designed to look after all of the villas with a team of chefs who will prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner; the kitchen is operative 24 hours for the provision of snacks and refreshments.

Designed by Dean Kempnich, with landscaping by Anto Kusnanto, the LGV style blends modern Balinese architecture with minimalist design, local materials, colourful décor and sumptuous fabrics. All of the villas are completely self-contained and secure, heralded by welcome statues and chiselled paras-stone private entrances, which are linked by a walled lane lined with green foliage. All bedrooms have cable TV with DVD/CD players. Each villa boasts a separate staff entrance leading directly into the villa kitchen, allowing a greater element of privacy for the guests

Villa Kawi was named after a spiritual mountain in East Java, a place where pilgrims seek to increase their worldly blessings.
This single-storey 2-bedroom villa is comprised of two pavilions positioned on either side of a swimming pool, within a walled courtyard garden. One pavilion houses the two bedrooms, and the other pavilion houses the living and dining area and open-plan kitchen. A timber sundeck at the other end of the pool is furnished with two sunlounges and an umbrella. Stone-carved waterspouts provide the serene and constant sound of running water, and the pretty garden is planted with a sweet scented frangipani tree, and bordered by giant taro leaves.

The open-sided living and dining pavilion features a soaring roof supported by richly grained coconut wood pillars above a cool terrazzo floor. Ceiling fans and gentle breezes keep this area cool, and bamboo blinds can be dropped for privacy and shade. Looking out over the tropical garden and pool, this area is perfect for entertaining and enjoying the laid-back lifestyle for which Bali has become so famous. Rectangular in shape, the pavilion is tastefully furnished with a deeply cushioned rattan lounge suite, dark red and olive and brown scatter cushions, a coffee table, a dining table for four, an arching chrome standard lamp, and attractive artwork. The pavilion also integrates an open-plan kitchen equipped with a marble worktop, a two-burner gas hob, a refrigerator, a microwave, shelves, storage cupboards, and a good range of utensils.

The best of Seminyak is within walking distance of Laksmana Villas; miles of wide sandy beach, tropical chic shopping for fashion and interior design, spas, pulsating nightlife and superb dining at relaxed elegant restaurants. Laksmana Villas is located on the most in vogue stretch of Jalan Laksmana, situated in complete privacy down a shady lane that keeps the outside world at a discreet distance. All this only one hundred meters from the Indian ocean ! At night the only sounds heard are the tropical breeze in swaying coconut palms, and the distant crashing of the surf.

On the opposite side of the pool, each of the two stylish bedrooms is accessed by its own set of full length glass doors. Each features a terrazzo floor under a soaring pitched roof, and each is furnished with a canopied queen size bed, large comfy chairs, shelf units, table lamps, a teak desk and a wardrobe, while colourful artwork adorns the walls. Each air-conditioned bedroom is also equipped with a flat screen cable TV, a DVD/CD player, a safe deposit box, and an STD telephone. The olive décor is complemented by sumptuous Jim Thomson silks, with bedcovers and rich silk cushions in toning shades.

Each en-suite, semi open-air, marble bathroom is planted with yucca palms, and features a terrazzo vanity unit, ‘his and hers’ washbasins, a separate powerful raindrop shower, a white bathtub with a marble surround, a toilet, a hairdryer, a shaving mirror, and a large wall mirror. Beautiful white potted orchids complete the picture!
A connecting door links Villa Kawi to the 1-bedroom Villa Solo, joining the two properties, when required, to form a 3-bedroom villa.
