Revealing awesome views of turquoise sea and white-capped waves from its upper floor rooms and terraces, five-bedroom Villa Anucara
breathes an ocean-inspired theme in every element of its design. This
majestic and contemporary-styled property presents crisp white exteriors
and cool cream marble floors, while natural Palimanan stone is the
material of the villa's striking bas-relief murals and impressive
Balinese statues, which flank the grand entranceway and border the
ponds.
This pale white stone features abundantly throughout
the villa and defines the garden with plump, perfectly placed pebbles
and warm textured paving. Even the flowers in the 3300-square-metre
garden reflect the foamy surf: all are white, from the sweet-scented
snowy blossoms on the many frangipani trees to the softly flowering
jasmine that borders the lawns.
In keeping with the villa's
seaside location, 150 metres from the rugged Cemagi beach, white
furnishings are characterised by cheerful cushion fabrics, splashes of
blue and turquoise in the ocean-inspired photographic artwork, a dark
blue wall, a rustic blue door and tastefully displayed time-worn
aquamarine artefacts.
This gorgeous villa presents two enormous
master bedrooms with exotic, tropical, open-air bathrooms, three very
private guest suites, a 35-metre swimming pool and a delightful choice
of indoor and outdoor living and dining spaces. A large, friendly team
of staff is on hand at Villa Anucara to look after every guest need with
butler service and superb home-cooking.
Bedrooms
Master Bedrooms 1 & 2
Anucara's
two master bedrooms are located upstairs in the main building and are
both as sleek and sexy as each other. Lined with huge blow up images
from the owner's travels around Indonesia, each bedroom has white
linens, hardwood floors, a high-pitched ceiling and wide views of the
ocean from not only the king-size bed and the stone-paved balcony, but
from the bathtub and shower as well. The bathrooms carry a nautical
theme of seahorse- and starfish-shaped fittings to complement the
ever-present sight of the ocean. To the rear of each bedroom, a spacious
dressing areas faces away from the sea and yields to rice fields and a
volcanic horizon.
In the antechamber between the master bedrooms is a
large sitting area with two white painted daybeds and a wooden table
under a translucent white skylight. Glass doors open out to a furnished
stone terrace with ocean and garden views.
Guest Bedroom 1
Guest
bedroom 1 is situated in the gardens, just below the pool. This room is
bathed in natural sunlight courtesy of two sets of sliding glass doors,
one of which leads out to a stone terrace overlooking a manicured lawn
and two very inviting hammocks. A king-size bed rests on a raised plinth
beneath a stone frieze depicting tropical palm fronds and frangipani
flowers, while two white leather easy chairs just beg to be sat upon and
a large white wardrobe provides plenty of storage. A semi-open outdoor
bathroom with monsoon shower and a bathtub invites guests to experience
bathing under the sun and stars.
Guest Bedroom 2
Guest
bedroom 2 sits next to a garden of wild grasses and flowers, a little
further along the garden pathway. Sliding doors open onto a wooden
deck, bringing the outdoors in. This room is furnished with a
white-painted king-size bed and two dark wooden wardrobes. A large
wooden lamp and an Indonesian totem sit alongside a zebra striped
leather chair, while a huge image depicting a school of tropical fish
reminds guests which country they are in. The bathroom features a sunken
open-air tub with hand-held shower for more outdoor glory.
Guest Bedroom 3
The
villa's third guest bedroom lies at the very bottom of the garden,
amidst a grove of juvenile palm trees. Two inviting lawn chairs rest on
the terrace taking in this miniature forest setting while, inside, the
room is dominated by a blonde-wood king-size bed, flanked by wicker
lamps and heralded by a bird carving. Two similar coloured wardrobes
provide storage, while more tantalising images of Indonesian island-life
adorn the walls. The open-air bathroom is noteworthy for its water wall
and cleverly designed, monsoon shower that looks as though it could be a
time portal to another dimension.
Indoor Living
In
Villa Anucara's main pavilion an air-conditioned white and blue themed
living room is furnished with two comfy sofas and chairs and an antique
coffee table all set before a 46-inch TV with satellite channels and a
Blu-Ray disc player. Antique wooden artefacts and a Balinese gong adorn
the room and sliding glass doors lead out from here to the garden.
Separated
from the living area by the grand central foyer, the dining room and
kitchen are dominated by a long and beautiful suar wood table with
seating for ten, lit by three hanging lanterns with huge woven bamboo
shades. A montage of aqua images embellish the walls alongside tribal
shields from Papua. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors at one end of the
dining area provide garden views and lead out to the pool and terrace.
The
villa has an enviable, air conditioned, feature kitchen that's almost
over-equipped with serious brand-name appliances. Characterised by a
wall of rough-cut marble mosaic and polished concrete work surfaces, the
kitchen includes a massive central island lit by three hanging lanterns
and accompanied by four wooden bar stools.
Outdoor Living
The
very sociably situated sunken poolside lounge is sure to see a lion's
share of daytime activity. Open on three sides, it features a kitchen
area and guest washroom, a wooden bar, antique Indonesian daybeds that
serve as tables, bar stools, and wide, built-in sofas with enough
seating room for a small army. Above, on the rooftop terrace, daybeds
beckon for sunbathing and sunset cocktails.
An alfresco dining
area sits to the right of the pool between the sunken lounge and a patio
area lined with river stones and furnished with two all-weather
couches. A ten-seater dining table provides a lovely spot to enjoy
dinner after the heat of the day has subsided.
The villa's mature
garden stretches for what feels like forever, changing its
characteristics as it meanders past the pool and the guest bedrooms
towards the property's boundary. Poolside, sun loungers and two double
daybeds are positioned next to mature frangipanis, palms and lilies that
pepper the lawns. At the far end of the 35-metre pool the water
overflows down a three metre cascade to a smaller pool fronted by two
Ganesha (elephant god) statues. Beyond, a 'wild' garden of ornamental
grasses and white flowering shrubs eventually gives way to a small enchanted forest of palm trees and silence.
Villa Layout
Guests
enter Anucara via a stepping-stone avenue over a large, clear-water
pond where two huge overflowing urns provide the soothing sounds of
falling water. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors run the length of
the villa, removing all possibility of secrets; the state-of-the-art
living areas, gardens, and swimming pool simply rush in to say hello. To
the right is the formal dining area and kitchen; to the left, a
comfortable lounge.
Upstairs, the two super-chic master bedrooms
are mirror images of each other; each with a sea-view balcony. Outside,
the garden is dominated by a 35-metre infinity pool flanked by an
alfresco dining space and a sunken pool bar/lounge, above which a
rooftop terrace provides the ideal spot for relaxed sundowners.
Continuing down through the gardens, three stand-alone bedroom suites
are beautifully integrated into the greens and whites of the landscape
and are aligned in such a way as to provide guests with a sense of
autonomy and privacy.
