Description
Villa Atas Ombak is one of very few private villas in Bali which have absolute beach frontage! Located only a ’stones throw’ from the built-up & better know areas of Kuta & Legian. Villa Atas Ombak boasts magnificent ocean views from all living and sleeping areas.
The villa, which sits atop 5,000 m2 of cultivated gardens, consists of three separate buildings, the main building, the guest cottage & the pavilion (which is open-plan living area that overlooks the pool and ocean). The villa was designed to maximize use of the outdoors, as well as providing guests with quality living, dining & sleeping areas. All living and dining areas are fan cooled. The villa can only be accessed by private road.
Main Building
Upon entering this building through the large antique wooden doors, the size of the property & the immaculate attention to detail are immediately apparent. All rooms are spacious, and anyone who recognizes quality will surely appreciate the small selection of antiques found throughout this impressive home.
The main building features a formal dining area, which will comfortably seat up to 16 (sixteen) people, a study & three fully air-conditioned bedrooms (with en-suite bathrooms). All bedrooms boast sea views ! Additionally, the master suite, one of two bedroom on the ground floor, features television and a private outdoor plunge pool. The master en-suite bathroom features a separate bath (as well as shower), bidet & twin wash basins. All other bathrooms are fitted with showers, wash basins & toilets. The villa is kept cool at most times by the sea breezes, and guests have seldom had to resort to making use of the air-conditioning in the bedrooms.
Kitchen
The kitchen is without doubt the best equipped kitchen of any private home or villa in Bali! Essentially, like a commercial kitchen, it boasts stainless steel preparation, cooking areas & sinks. There is also a commercial fridge/freezer (so there can be no shortage of space for the storage of food & beverages). As the owners of this magnificent villa love the entertain, they have equipped the kitchen with sufficient quality tableware to accommodate dinner parties for up to 20 (twenty) guests.
Guest Cottage
The cottage which is situated as close to the ocean as anyone could wish for, provided guests with larger families/parties the opportunity to accommodate them. There are two additional bedrooms; one fitted with a double bed & the other with two single beds. Additionally, there are two bathrooms, and a comfortable living area furnished with ‘rattan’ cane wicker chair & sofa.
Pavilion & Pool Area
The pavilion is a 100 M2 open-plan living area which has two distinctive sitting areas. The ‘chunky bamboo’ furnishings are both practical & comfortable, & afford guests unparalleled views of both the pool (which measures 14 M x 7 M) & the ocean beyond. Poolside furnishings consist of 8 deck chairs with side tables & umbrellas. There is also another small (covered) pavilion, known as the bale, which serves as an ideal retreat for a couple or as a ‘massage’ or ‘day room’.
Domestic Staff
There is a total of 20 permanent household staff, comprised of: 4 day maids, 5 cooks + assistants, 3 gardeners, 5 security guards, 2 House maintenance man, The manager
Food and Beverage
Guests may have any or all meals prepared by the staff. It is up to guests to decide the schedule (or perhaps no schedule). There are no additional charges for meals, however costs for all food stuffs and beverages are not included in the daily rental tariff. Costs for all food and beverages shall be borne by the guest/s. A shopping account is managed by the kitchen staff. Hereto, all groceries are purchased either at the city markets or the local supermarket. We strongly advise one member of a rental party to liaise with the cooks, whereupon dinner menus & meal times can be established. Also, given that the purchase of groceries & fresh meats/sea-foods is done very early in the mornings, guests are advised to provide the cooks with a shopping list one day in advance. Kitchen accounts must be settled with the cooks daily.
