Villa Maridadi Bali
Villa Maridadi is a spacious
5-bedroom beachfront villa, located in the Canggu
area just thirty minutes drive from the busy shops and nightlife
of Seminyak and about forty-five minutes' drive from Bali's International
Airport. Most of the island’s tourist attractions are within
easy access and the villa is close to the Nirwana Golf Course, designed
by Greg Norman, and the famous Tanah Lot sea temple, one of the
island’s most dramatic and venerated temples.
The approach to the villa is along a quiet winding
road through the traditional village of Mengening. The narrow streets
of this pretty Balinese village are surrounded by rice fields and
punctuated by holy Banyan trees. A small intersection is the venue
of a fruit and vegetable market and colourful temple ceremonies
are a common sight.

Setting
The entrance to Villa Maridadi is equally time-honoured; fringed
parasols flank an antique doorway and moss encrusted statues of
Balinese gamelan musicians line the driveway. Built within the rice
fields and boasting forty metres of beach frontage, the property
is also blessed with panoramic views of the sweeping coastline and
the distant volcanoes. The rugged Cemagi Beach is renowned for its
world-class surf breaks, and the legendary sunsets here are among
the best in Bali. The villa also overlooks the Hindu temple of Pura
Bata Ngandang, perched on a rocky outcrop and lashed by the waves
of the Indian Ocean.
Maridadi is set on 4050 square metres of land, and
rests within a private walled garden complete with a 20 x 5 metre
lap pool. The fresh green coastal lawns are dotted with fragrant
frangipani trees and young palms; lobster claw heliconias hug the
walls and in one corner, overlooking the beach, a raised balé
pavilion is a peaceful haven for chilling out with a book or a sunset
cocktail. The smooth flat gardens are perfect for weddings or functions,
and also provide a great play area for children. The swimming pool
with sunloungers and a timber deck reaches a depth of 2.5 metres
and has a toddler’s pool at the shallow end.
Living and Dining Areas
The property is comprised of a number of separate thatched pavilions
arranged symmetrically between the main two-storey building and
the open living and dining pavilion. Constructed of local materials,
the style is restful with a fresh cool décor; and the modern
fittings and fixtures are harmonised with antique furniture from
India and Indonesia. Twin lotus ponds, linked by a central pathway
and wooden walkways, complete the symmetry. Designed to maximise
the ocean views, the magnificent 12 x 8 metre living and dining
pavilion is cooled by natural sea breezes and large pendulous ceiling
fans. Tall coconut wood pillars support the traditional ‘alang
alang’ grass roof, and the pavilion is furnished with carved
sideboards, a day bed, local artefacts and a beautiful three metre
long antique dining table that seats twelve people. Ideal for entertaining
and relaxing, this ample lounge has a quality music system with
surround speakers in the ceiling. A covered walkway leads to the
fully equipped service kitchen, which is located within a self-contained
pavilion beside another lotus pond dominated by a white marble Buddha.
There are two further living rooms for the comfort
of the guests. An air-conditioned indoor study, with a cosy cushioned
window seat and large floor cushions, is located next door to the
master bedroom and is provided with a cable TV and VCD/DVD player.
A second casual living area is located upstairs in the main building.
Sliding glass windows take full advantage of the awesome views,
and this sizeable games room is furnished with colorful cushions,
an antique Javanese daybed, a pool table, a multi-gym, and a large
flat screen cable Television with VCD and Play Station system.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The five bedrooms are all air-conditioned with the additional benefit
of overhead ceiling fans and built in wardrobes. Each bedroom is
at ground floor level and enjoys ocean views and the luxury of an
en-suite garden bathroom. The master bedroom features teak-wood
floors and sliding glass doors, which open on to an outdoor verandah
furnished with daybeds and rattan chairs. Guests will be lulled
to sleep by the constant murmur of the waves in an antique four-poster
bed complete with diaphanous drapes. Each romantic garden bathroom
is walled for privacy and is characterised an open-air shower, whimsical
stone carvings and an impressive array of tropical plants and shrubs.
The bathrooms adjoining the master bedroom and the two main guestrooms
each have a large bathtub that is protected from the elements by
a thatched roof. Following the symmetrical theme, the two guest
pavilions are mirror images of each other, each one a self-contained
pavilion with teak floors, sliding glass doors, a canopied bed,
an open verandah, and a cream terrazzo bathroom suite within a pretty
garden bathroom planted with peace lilies. The remaining two bedrooms,
and their adjoining bathrooms, are located on the ground floor of
the main building; each room is furnished with antique twin trundle
beds, making them ideal for children.
Another large lawn to the north of the main building
makes a great play area and is suitable for badminton or volley
ball. A door in the wall leads to the villa’s shared tennis
court, and the staff quarters are situated near the main entrance.
The beach is just a few metres away from the property, bordered
by a track and a low cliff, and easily accessible. The currents
are strong, however, and swimming is not recommended.
