Bendega Nui

Created by a family who has been coming here for many years, Bendega Nui embraces all they love about being in Bali. The villa`s design combines traditional Balinese architecture with clean modern lines, numerous indoor and outdoor spaces that allow groups to gather but also allow the privacy to get away from everyone and everything. Set in almost an acre of wonderful tropical gardens overlooking the rice fields, the villa is a short walk from the beach and a short drive to the chic restaurants and bars of Seminyak; close to the excitement of Bali but far enough away to ensure a traditional Balinese experience.

Designed in partnership with internationally renowned architect Glenn Parker, Bendega Nui respects the style, proportion and symmetry of traditional Balinese architecture within a modern tropical design. Built as a series of six pavilions totaling almost 1,050 m2 and constructed with uncompromising attention to detail, the villa is finished with the highest quality materials including Indonesian hardwood floors, Balinese ceramics, Indian sandstone and Italian travertine, chosen for their natural beauty and durability.

Bendega Nui offers plenty of private spaces to get away from it all and unwind. There are five bedrooms in total; four large bedrooms in the main complex, each with en-suite bathrooms and private balconies, are positioned to capture stunning views. In addition there is a self-contained fifth bedroom with its own plunge pool, sun deck and private bale. A reading bale, a gym and massage room with outdoor bath, a library with 50-inch plasma TV, a games room complete with pool table, and a sun deck hidden below the pool provide ample opportunities for relaxation. For getting groups together, the villa has a stunning open sitting area that overlooks the rice fields, a separate air-conditioned dining room with a table that seats up to 20, a pool pavilion with outdoor dining for 10 and an 11m x 11m infinity-edge pool, both situated to catch the fabulous Bali sunsets.

The villa`s contemporary design is enhanced, outside and in, with thoughtfully chosen Balinese and Javanese sculptures, cabinets and artefacts - many of them antique - as well as bright floral fabrics and custom-printed traditional ikat textiles that bring the stylish dark-wood furniture to vivid life. State-of-the-art facilities include a Sonos digital music system that can be programmed to match musical moods in several different `zones`, a modern kitchen, satellite television and DVD players and air conditioning in all the indoor areas.

The extensive gardens surrounding Bendega Nui are laid out as a series of courtyards separated by the pavilions, three large koi-filled ponds and two large lawns. The gardens are dotted with frangipani, oil palms, jasmine, yuccas, African tulip trees and an abundance of tropical fruit.

Finally, a dedicated, discreet team of staff, including an excellent chef, are on hand to look after visitors with wide smiles and willing service, leaving you free to indulge in the special charm and beauty of Bali.
