Villa Windu Sari — the name is loosely translated as ‘a beautiful place in time’ - is a peaceful oasis in the heart of Petitenget on Bali’s southwest coast. Designed by the internationally acclaimed architect Glenn Parker, with interiors by Dean Kempnich and landscaping by Anto Kusnanto, the four-bedroom villa is characterised by an abundance of teakwood and marble.

The spacious Living & Dining Pavilion is characterised by a soaring roof, splendid honey-coloured teakwood panelling, a creamy-coloured Indian stone wall and a polished marble floor. Open on three sides, it is cooled by gentle breezes and ceiling fans and dramatically lit by pendulous copper lanterns. The solid teak dining table boasts five stage banquet extensions enabling it to accommodate up to 20 guests. The living area is furnished with comfortable sofas and ottomans complemented by a glass coffee table with hidden lighting that creates a soft glow at night.

It is comprised of two shingle-roof pavilions housing a magnificent open-sided living and dining area, a cosy media room, an entertainment terrace, a gym, four bedrooms on two levels, a kitchen and a service area. The property is set within a delightful walled garden complete with a feature swimming pool, and nestled within a safe and secure private estate, just a few minutes’ walk from the beach and a whole host of world-class restaurants. It is ideal for families with older children.

A Sonos digital music system, with many thousand sound tracks sorted into a wide variety of genres, can be controlled remotely from anywhere within the Living & Dining Pavilion, the garden or the poolside ‘bale’ Pavilion.

The Media Room is well equipped with a 50” plasma screen, cable-channel TV, a DVD player and a state of the art Yamaha theatre sound system. It includes a dual microphone karaoke system, as well as a computer allowing internet access.

A marble staircase leads from the main Living & Dining area up to the Media Room. Elegantly furnished with deeply-cushioned upholstered armchairs and a long sofa, standard lamps, a large floor rug and a built-in desk that hugs the wall, this is a great place to escape and chill out in air-conditioned comfort. Wide windows overlook the pool and curtains and timber blinds can be drawn to create a cosy ambience.

The timber-clad Gym has a mirrored wall and is fitted with both air-conditioning and ceiling fans. It is well equipped with a fridge, iPod-controlled sound system, TV, cross-trainer, treadmill, weights and mats.

The open-air, rooftop Entertainment Terrace presents a great space for sunset cocktails. It is positioned on the same level as the Media Room and is furnished with outdoor sofas and twin solid wood tables.

The four bedrooms are situated in a self-contained two-storey ‘Sleeping Pavilion’ positioned at one end of the swimming pool. Each bedroom features sliding glass doors with teakwood shutters, a timber veneer floor and handmade coffered timber ceilings. Each is equipped with wardrobes, air-conditioning, a safe deposit box, a 32” TV with cable channels and an iPod docking station, complete with radio and quality speakers.
