Villa Matahari

Authentic and peaceful Bali Villa experience…

Located just footsteps away from Seseh beach in the traditional fishermen village of Pantai Seseh – Guests will find the perfect holiday destination for families and friends who want to experience luxury within a Balinese village atmosphere.

Villa Matahari, meaning sun, is a spacious two storey, four-bedroom Villa. It is characterised by open-air tropical living rooms and an abundance of light, glass and space. The villa is best suited to older children due to the layout, window design upstairs and water features in the living space.

Seseh in outer Canggu is great for those who prefer to be immersed in the more untouched Balinese culture, enjoy almost private beach walks just footsteps away from their villa, ride the waves in nearby surfing spots, taste fresh fish from the local fishermen and hear the ceremonies from nearby temples. The area is also home to expats and enjoys some great cafes and eateries within walking distance. It really is the best of both worlds, with the happening Pererenan and Batubolong within easy reach by car and the rice fields and Balinese life still surrounding.

The design fuses some of the traditional Balinese architectural elements: such as symmetrical bedroom pavilions, sloped roofs and open air spaces with the modern touches of white terrazzo floors, ironwood shingle roofs and decks, tropical pool and quality furnishings.

Entrance & Living Room Pavilion

The main access to the house leads to the Entrance Hall through two huge ironwood sliding doors. Guests immediately have a sense of space and privacy.

The living room pavilion is open on three sides serving not only as the main gathering area but also as the gateway to the different pavilions composing the property. The living area itself is the central focus overlooking the swimming pool and garden, it is cooled by three ceiling fans. The living room is furnished with a large sofa, armchairs, two side teak wood tables and a huge teak wood centre table. The area is flanked by two ponds with white stone Buddha heads, acting as waterfalls. Antique gongs on either side of the two large staircases leading to the Main upstairs suites. On the opposite side of the garden are two freestanding bedrooms with their own terraces.

Garden & Swimming Pool

The 18 m x 6 m swimming pool is a stunning feature completing the symmetry of the property. The swimming pool has four overflow edges working as flat mirrors over the black volcanic stone of the external walls and light green stone on the inside.

The swimming pool has a carefully designed shallow area for kids of 2 m x 6 m and fire lamps which make night swimming a magical treat at Villa Matahari. With comfortable sun loungers and umbrellas on either side of the pool, this is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy Villa life.

The large garden with its flat lawn is ideal for celebrations or for kids to play. A central, open-air pool lounge presents an additional chillout area; it is sheltered by a roof and a great place to watch over the pool.

TV & Tea Pavilion

The open plan design incorporates a TV lounge, accessed by wide stepping stones over an ornamental pond with golden fish inside and is furnished with a daybed, a rattan center table, several wooden stools. The wall is decorated with a collection of Balinese hats, and a ceiling fan crowns the area to cool the ambience if needed. This TV lounge is equipped with a flat LCD TV with International satellite channels and a DVD player. A guest toilet is also conveniently located in the TV Lounge.

Behind the TV lounge is located the Tea lounge. This cosy space is furnished with 2 comfortable rattan sofas, a remarkable centre table made with the trunk section of a teak tree, a bird cage, a collection of ceramic vessels filled with tropical plants and another ceiling fan to cool the space. The Tea Lounge is the perfect place for a more intimate chat, taking an afternoon nap, or just having a relaxing cup of tea while watching the birds and squirrels in the garden.

The Dining Pavilion

Opposite to the TV and Tea lounge, the Dining pavilion is accessed by another set of terrazzo steps crossing over a pond. The dining pavilion is furnished with a table for ten.

The Kitchen

The fully equipped modern kitchen is self-contained and located close to the dining area for ease of service. It contains all the facilities that the chef requires for the preparation of delicious meals.

Bedrooms

The two upstairs Master Suites are more than 100 m2 each. Both Master Suites are stylish, minimalist, and extremely spacious.

Each enjoys a private open air terrace overlooking the property with a double sun-bed for relaxing. Both Master suite bedrooms feature large windows on three sides with views to the garden. When these sliding windows are opened, the ocean breeze enters the space making you feel completely surrounded by nature. This feature is not recommended with very young children.

Guests can choose, according to their preference, to cool their suite by using either the AC units, a large hanging fan over the bed, or just the natural breeze. The king size bed in each Master Suite is oriented towards the sea with views out onto the garden. There is a practical built in desk behind the bed, strategically placed so all the views are still seen while seated. With safety boxes, TV units with International Satellite Channels, WIFI Internet connection and all the modern comforts you will need on holiday provided.

The expansive ensuite bathrooms are both fitted with a luxurious bathtub under a wide window. There is an enclosed toilet on one side of the bathtub and an enclosed walk in rain-shower on the other side. A wide terrazzo vanity unit supports convenient twin washbasins, and huge wall mirrors multiply the space. Fitted wardrobes provide plenty of hanging and storage space.

The two Garden Suites are 50 m2 each offering an additional private lounge of 70 m2 with a sundeck and garden.

The charming Garden Suites are furnished with a king size bed, built in desks, and fitted wardrobes, all in white polished cement.

Each Garden Suite is conceived as an independent space where guests can decide if opening their Suite to the rest of the house or keeping it private; very useful for large groups of friends and also for kids. The external covered lounges of the Garden Suites are also very convenient in case guests prefer to have their meal in peace or a more private relaxing massage.
