The Beji is hidden away in the Balinese
village of Berawa, one kilometre
from the beach, near Canggu.
The rice field setting offers the double attraction of being
close to everything that guests might need, while also presenting a
fascinating insight into the traditions of rural Bali.
The beach is renowned for its legendary sunsets and
world-class surf breaks, and the neighbouring Seminyak
area presents an exciting nightlife, together with an abundance of
trendy boutiques, luxurious spas, and internationally acclaimed
restaurants – including the well-known ‘Ku Dé Ta’, ‘Kafé
Warisan’, ‘Living Room’, ‘Hu’u’
and ‘La Lucciola’.
The villa is a metre 30 minutes' drive from
the international airport, and convenient for all
of the main tourist attractions and shopping malls.
Easily accessible sporting amenities include the ‘Nirwana
Bali Golf Course’, which was designed by Greg
Norman and voted the number one golf course in Indonesia, and the
neighbouring ‘Canggu Club’,
offering sports, social and leisure amenities.
For horse lovers, the ‘Umalas Equestrian
Centre’ is just five minutes away.
Living Pavilion & Sunken Lounge
The elevated, open-sided, living pavilion presides over the garden;
its Palimanan stone floor extending onto a timber deck bounded by a
cascading wall of water.
Embracing a stylish cream and black colour theme, the pavilion
is furnished with three yielding sofas, two ottomans
and a coffee table, complemented by a coiled
stainless steel sculpture and lamp-stand created by local sculptor,
Chen of ‘Chenergy’.
Ideal for entertaining and relaxing, this ample lounge is
cooled by natural breezes and paddle ceiling fans.
Surround-sound music speakers are fitted in
the high roof.
To one side of the Living Pavilion is another deck,
with two frangipani trees and an open-air sunken lounge, presenting
built-in cushioned seating at a lower level.
Dining Pavilion
The elegant dining pavilion showcases a huge teak dining table,
large enough to accommodate up to 18 people.
The pavilion is open on three sides with a high roof, and a
creamy-white Palimanan stone floor.
Antique artefacts are displayed in alcoves within the
supporting pillars, and wooden benches provide additional seating; a
stainless steel sculpture takes pride of place, and an ornamental pond
runs along one side.
A guest washroom is located close to the
dining pavilion.
Kitchen
The state-of-the-art service kitchen is located behind the dining
pavilion, and is fully equipped with everything that the staff need in
order to produce delicious Western and Asian meals.
Fitted with gleaming appliances, enhanced by black marble and
teak, this impressive kitchen is also a professional facility for
outside caterers to prepare lavish feasts for weddings, parties and
special functions.
Library / Media Room & Upper Deck
A flight of steps leads from the dining pavilion to the air-conditioned
library and media room, located close to the entrance of the property.
This is the only room at the villa that is positioned on an upper
level.
Featuring a teakwood floor, and fitted with a ceiling
fan in addition to the air-conditioning, this home-theatre is
furnished with L-shaped sofas, ottomans, coffee tables, lamps, and
built-in bookshelves.
It boasts a wall-mounted, electronically-operated 1.5
metre cinema screen, supported by a hi-tech
surround-sound and music system, and a projector for showing movies and
DVDs, in addition to satellite TV channels.
Double doors open onto a stone balcony deck, with an enormous
daybed and gorgeous views of the rice fields.
Bedrooms
There are six air-conditioned bedrooms
at The Beji, each with its own en-suite bathroom,
dressing room, and open-air relaxation deck.
Each bedroom is equipped with a flat screen TV with
satellite channels, a DVD player and quality sound system, and a safe
deposit box.
Additionally, there are two furnished, open-sided, living
pavilions shared by the double and twin-bedded
suites.
The two master suites are located on
either side of the pool, accessed by sliding glass doors with wooden
shutters.
Each of these sizeable bedrooms presents a polished
teakwood floor, a king-size, canopied four-poster bed, comfy chairs, a
standard lamp, and a cushioned window seat.
The TVs in the master bedrooms are 29-inch.
A separate dressing area, adjacent to each
bedroom, offers plenty of hanging and storage space.
Each sumptuous bathroom is dominated by an oversized terrazzo
bathtub, which is surrounded by a raised wooden deck complete with a
built-in cushioned seat.
Teak vanity units, twin washbasins, large wall mirrors, a
walled garden area planted with palms and taro, and
a spacious rainshower with a pebbled surround completes the picture of
bath-time opulence.
In front of each master bedroom is raised wooden deck
overhanging the two shallow areas of the swimming pool.
Each is furnished with a massive 3.5 x 2 metre daybed.
The two double suites and two twin-bedded suites are very
similar in design to the master suites.
The adjoining bathrooms are smaller than the master
bathrooms, but sumptuous nonetheless!
Features include open-air rainshowers bordered by young
bamboo, sunken bathtubs and twin washbasins, complemented by soaring
roofs and glassless windows with carved Palimanan fretwork screens.
Outside, wooden decks with comfy armchairs
and cushioned daybeds are flanked by bubbling ponds stocked with
bulrushes and koi.
