The majestic four-bedroom Villa Batavia, complete with its freeform swimming pool and children’s pool, is set upon 1,100 square metres of land, within the luxurious Laksmana Villas private estate, just footsteps away from the Indian Ocean at Seminyak Beach on Bali’s southwest coast.

Designed by the acclaimed Balinese architect, Putu Edi Semara, and influenced by various legendary colonial-style hotels, the property captures the architectural heritage of Asia's crossroads, following a colonial theme with high ceilings and art deco furniture.

The villa is comprised of three buildings linked by a covered pergola and a cloister-style walkway hung with custom made colonial-style glass lanterns. The first building is the guest wing, complete with the living and dining room. The second building houses the reception hall and cocktail lounge, and the third building is the master wing. The staff service area, together with laundry and back-up generator set, is unobtrusively tucked out of the way at the back of the property.

Each of the four suites at Villa Batavia is equipped with a mini-bar fridge, a safe deposit box, an independently controlled cable TV and DVD player, and a Bose iPod dock. Wi Fi high speed Internet is accessible throughout the property. There is also a remote Bose music system featuring a huge, comprehensive music library.

The Master Wing houses an upstairs master suite, with a timber floor, sumptuous en-suite bathroom, a large verandah and a small adjoining study room with a desk. Downstairs is another capacious master suite incorporating a pillared verandah and a garden bathroom fitted with a bathtub and outdoor shower.

The Guest Wing presents two ground floor bedrooms. One of the en-suite bathrooms is characterised by an open-air shower, and the other by an eye-catching stained glass window.

Every suite in the villa is different, and all of the en-suite bathrooms are air-conditioned with timber floors, together with non-slip acid marble floors in the walk-in showers.

The 60-square metre, living and dining room is positioned on the upper floor in close proximity to the modern and fully equipped, state-of-the-art kitchen. The living area presents a home theatre fitted with a large screen TV/DVD player. It is furnished with deeply cushioned sofas, chairs, and original chandeliers from Solo City in Java. This delightful room is cross ventilated by the sea breezes that blow through the shuttered windows, which are further characterised by bevelled glass. Alternatively guests can close the windows for air-conditioned comfort. The dining experience, meanwhile, is enhanced with the finest white bone china crockery and silver plated cutlery.

A favourite area with guests is the upstairs cocktail bar complete with a mirrored antique buffet, mood lighting and a comfortable upholstered sofa and chairs. There is also a computer for guest use. The owners have paid a lot of attention to the wine list and are proud to present an impressive selection of fine wines from around the world.

Villa Batavia is set within a beautiful walled garden complete with an 18-metre freeform swimming pool that is reminiscent of a river pool. There is also a separate children’s pool complete with a bridge across to an island. This lovely area is planted with fruit trees, fragrant frangipanis and ferns, complemented by two waterfalls and a large rock wall with a water cascade. No chemicals are used in the pool; instead it employs a salt water system that is soft on the earth and gentle on the skin, while the gin-clear fishponds employ bio-technology.

A guest washroom is available for pool users, accessible from the garden. A secure parking area provides space for motorbikes and two cars.

On the ground floor of the Master Wing is an ornate Moroccan-style steam room with colourful mosaic tiles, a domed roof, built-in bench seating, and an enticing, two-tiered, coldwater fountain in the centre. Next to the steam room is an air-conditioned massage room with a massage couch and amenities.
