From your very first tantalising glimpse of the architectural dream that is the Arnalaya Beach House I promise you’ll be totally hooked! Set right on the beachfront in Bali’s very cool Canggu district, the house is the perfect venue in which to reconnect with family, share your very own piece of tropical paradise and make some incredible memories together. Even the word Bali conjures up a vision of tropical paradise; an Indonesian island, it is known for its forested volcanic mountains, stunning beaches, iconic rice paddies, ethereal temples and coral reefs; but it’s the spirit and culture of the island that make this a truly magical destination. Flights from London start at around 15 hours and the Beach House is 20km from the airport.
About The Villa
The Arnalaya Beach House is an incredible, uber cool, 5 bedroom residence. Contemporary and achingly sophisticated in design, it is the perfect location to relax with your family and can accommodate up to 18 guests. The house is set in 4,500 m² of heavenly tropical gardens, so the landscaped lawns and the fragrance of beautiful flowers totally envelope you. The décor is sleek with clean lines, custom designed furniture and with an impeccable attention to detail throughout. Stunning ocean views seems to be presented to you wherever you look, even the en-suite bathrooms on the third-floor offer up a view! The area is quiet in fact the only sound likely to disturb your sleep is the gentle crashing of waves on the shore outside, not at all an issue in my book!
Villa Details
The spacious villa includes an air-conditioned lounge and formal dining area; entertainment room equipped with a huge TV that connects you to your personal iTunes account (plus a great range of games, books, arts and craft items); kitchen, gym and spa room. The bedrooms are all en-suite and the beautiful four poster beds are romantically canopied and made with crisp white bed linens. Outside your sanctuary, set in those beautiful gardens is your own crystal clear 20-metre salt-water swimming pool. A spacious poolside open air pavilion with oversized couches is the perfect spot for curling up with a book or just catching up with the family over a perfectly chilled beverage. Alfresco dining is a must with the dining area perfectly placed to overlook the mesmerising Indian Ocean, plus also includes a BBQ and cocktail bar. To ensure your every whim is gracefully met, a team of 16 staff is always on hand. This sets the pampering bar appropriately high and minimises those day to day hassles that can arise when holidaying with a large family group.
