This six-bedroom private oasis is nestled between the vibrant neighbourhoods of Berawa Canggu and Seminyak. Within walking distance to the beach, it is a tranquil sanctuary to rest, revive and reset the mind, body, and soul.
The house itself is an oasis refuge from the hustle and bustle of Bali’s social energy and tropical climate. With an expansive living area of 1050 square metres, the unique design focuses on a high end luxury experience with sophisticated and functional design.
“Canggu has grown exponentially over the past 5-10 years from a vast expanse of rice field paddies into a vibrant community of surfers, yogis, digital nomads, families, visitors, etc. However there is a real lack of high quality luxury villa and hotel accommodation that meets the standards of a discerning traveller used to the best of the best. This led me down the path of seeking to design and build something unique. I wanted to combine the spiritual energy that is intrinsic to Bali with an intensely luxury experience enclosed in a stylish and original design setting – for an arriving guest to hold their breath and gasp in wonder at the beauty of the design and to feel the spiritual energy of the space. It took the best part of 3 years to complete the construction phase. I believe we achieved our goal and welcome future guests to enjoy the magical experience of staying”

The Design Experience
Guests are able to explore the multitude of different living spaces and social alcoves found around the house; an 18.5-metre white terrazzo pool with transparent glass wall featuring a pool bar; a plush olive green velvet cushioned indoor sunken lounge; a bespoke guest kitchen made from carefully chosen granite so that the grain mirrors the surf waves of Canggu and its crystals energise and sooth the space; an antique dining table with intricate wood carving; pocket floor to ceiling sliding windows allow the enclosed fully air conditioned living room to transition seamlessly into an open plan living space that flows into the garden; a cinema and childrens playroom with 3m projector screen; a sunken outdoor bar seating area; a pool deck for sunbathing; two extensive rooftop terraces each 150sqm which include a pool table made from solid teak and a 70 sqm yoga shala. A full service commercial kitchen houses our personal chef who will cater to guests culinary needs. The bedrooms are a soothing contemporary minimalist design to assist the mind to seek stillness and relaxation.
Floor-to-ceiling glass sliding windows allow the bedrooms direct access to the tropical garden, pool and terraces. With moody ambient lighting, high quality mattresses and organic cotton bed linen, guests can fully immerse and indulge in quality downtime. Ensuite bathrooms feature extensive use of green Indian marble and custom designed double sinks complete with brushed brass Hansgrohe taps and shower sets imported in from Germany. The master bedroom suite showcases our shower design situated in the middle of the room enclosed by floor to ceiling glass on all sides, complete with double showerheads mounted into the ceiling to provide a soothing rainfall effect. Curves are an embedded feature throughout the villa, softening and connecting the various spaces together. This is very noticeable in the design of the two spectacular LED inlaid staircases that ground the two main wings of the property. The curves also represent the female divine energy, Shakti which combines with the male divine energy, Shiva. The manifest energy of the Universe is represented in Shakti and the unmanifest pure consciousness is represented by Shiva. According to yoga philosophy, both exist within us.
An in-house butler is available throughout your stay, while the personal chef is available to cater to your daily dining needs and for more personalised menus set to individual taste. Fresh seasonal produce is handpicked daily from the traditional market and seafood purchased from local fishermen. Breakfast is complimentary and tailored. Guests can also enjoy sunset BBQ on the rooftop terrace.

Tailor made wellness programs from Balinese, Holistic healing to multi-day Ayurveda therapies can also be arranged.
The Canggu coastline is famous for its legendary surf breaks and picturesque sunsets, while the beach clubs, boutiques, bars and restaurants of Seminyak nearby are world class. Bali’s many other attractions include sacred mountains and temples, terraced rice paddies and waterfalls. Poolside storytelling and photoshoot sessions in traditional ceremony wear enable a deeper immersion in Balinese culture.

Fishing expeditions, island hopping and scuba diving are also possibilities.
The concierge team is ready to assist with the curation of guest travel itineraries and additional requests tailored to their needs. Sustainability Sustainability was taken into consideration at the concept stage leading to an inwards facing Riad influence on the design. Through careful design, the sun passes directly over the garden and pool, sheltering the bedrooms and living areas, thus reducing the work for the air-conditioning system and leading to the interior of the house remaining cool. In addition, 28 solar panels on the rooftop utilise the sun’s energy to assist the villa’s power requirements during the day. Water is sourced from a ground well inside the property. Drinking water is also purified and bottled on-site.
Future Sustainability Plan: Carbon Neutral Stay
We will estimate the carbon footprint of guests’ energy consumption during their stay including the emissions from their flights. If our guests would like to offset this, we can arrange this and will cover 50% of the cost. This goes to fund rainforest conservation, plant trees and support renewable energy projects in Indonesia.
