Somewhere on Bali’s rugged Tabanan coastline, west of Tanah Lot, a coconut grove garden looks out over a lonely surf beach. Further investigation reveals a secret hideaway comprised of a series of single-storey pavilions, a swimming pool and a plunge pool, woven together by pathways, yet separated by ornamental ponds, flowering hedges and rustic walls. Kailasha, meaning Paradise of the Gods, is an appropriate name for this serene three-bedroom villa, which rests upon an expansive 1.1 hectares of land, with Alila Villas Soori as its prestigious neighbour.

Villa Kailasha embraces contemporary-tropical style with elegant interiors, a blend of modern, antique and Dutch colonial furnishings, colourful fabrics and artwork. The comfortable living pavilion with its three distinct sitting areas, a standalone dining pavilion, and a separate dining terrace are open to the cool trade winds and dramatic ocean views. In a hidden corner, a self-contained guesthouse offers a peaceful retreat, featuring two almost identical suites that sit next door to one another within a private, partially walled courtyard. In another corner, the master suite presents complete privacy with its own plunge pool, deck, and a thatched bale pavilion for relaxing on leisurely afternoons or under clear star-filled skies at night. From the bed, guests will relish the awe-inspiring view across the garden and pool to the Bali Straits beyond. In fact, they can expect to be lulled to sleep by the incessant surging of the waves.

A comfy bedroom in the guesthouse.

Dotted with flowering trees and mingled with the scents of exotic blossoms, Kailasha’s huge garden rolls down to a sparkling 14-metre infinity-edged swimming pool. This is bordered by a stone and grass chequerboard deck, with a large open-sided gazebo to one side, and a spectacular vista of the glistening black sand beach and the ocean, which is a mere three minutes’ walk from the villa’s front gate.

The owners’ desire is to give guests an authentic and unforgettable experience in a setting far removed from the hustle and bustle of tourism. Here, in these gentle surroundings visitors will be charmed by the villa’s classic architecture, modern facilities, and an extraordinary amount of private space, complemented by a full team of caring staff who will attend to every need. Villa Kailasha is ideal for a family or a small group of friends, while its velvety lawns are perfect for weddings, parties, and celebrations against the glorious backdrop of the windswept beach and the white capped waves.
