Khayangan Estate rests in blissful seclusion upon 1.5
hectares of prime, cliff top land, 170 metres above the
rolling surf of the Indian Ocean on the southernmost tip of
the island of Bali. The Estate is located near the
famous Uluwatu temple, and is immediately adjacent to the
Bvlgari Hotel and Resort, overlooking Selonding Beach below.
Set in a magnificent tropical garden, the Estate comprises
of a cluster of traditional, antique, wooden Javanese houses,
known as ‘Joglos’, which have been collected by the owners of
Khayangan and saved from destruction. The Joglos, with their
distinctive funnel-shaped roofs, have been carefully grouped
in a semi-circle, echoing the feeling of a traditional
Javanese village. Each is blessed with stunning ocean views,
while skilful landscaping enhances the ambience and adds to
the privacy. The Estate currently provides luxury
accommodation for up to six persons in three, self-contained,
fully air-conditioned bedrooms, complete with en-suite
bathrooms. The focal point of the property is the splendid,
hand-carved, century-old Joglo that serves as the main living
and dining room, situated beside a 12-metre swimming pool.
There is also a business centre, a magnificent cliff top spa
complex, known as the Seventh Heaven Spa, a cliff top
pavilion, a tennis court and a well-equipped gym. Phase two of
the project will introduce three more bedrooms and another
pool.
Designed by Cheong Yew Kuan, one of Asia’s leading resort
and luxury villa architects, in collaboration with the owners,
the architecture blends Javanese tradition with contemporary
design and European influences. The buildings incorporate an
abundance of recycled teak wood in the form of floorboards,
doors and elaborately-carved ‘pondopo’ centerpieces. This is
complemented by ironwood shingle roofs and natural stone
finishes. Some of the wall panels have been replaced with
ceiling to floor glass, giving the buildings a contemporary
feel, and allowing more natural light to enter.
The interiors reflect the travels and passions of the
owners, who invite guests to share and celebrate the rich
heritage of Indonesia through an eclectic collection of
Indonesian antiques, artifacts and artwork. At Khayangan,
tropical island living meets metropolitan convenience, with
state-of-the-art entertainment and communication facilities,
together with all the comforts and service you would expect
from a luxury boutique hotel. Khayangan Estate takes its name
from an ancient Sanskrit word, which could best be translated
as ‘Seventh Heaven’.
Khayangan offers numerous relaxation areas, so guests will
always find a private spot for peace and quiet. In fact, a
large family or group of people could stay at the Estate and
still lose each other within its depths. Cool sea breezes and
the rhythmic sound of the waves combine to create a close to
nature experience.
Living & Dining Pavilion
Serenaded by the tranquil sound of water, guests will traverse
an ornamental pond before entering the living and dining
pavilion. This is the largest of the time-honoured teakwood
Joglos, created over 100 years ago in Central Java in an area
where skilled artisans have developed the art of carving wood
to the highest degree of refinement. The Joglo’s most striking
feature is its towering core of four intricately and
exquisitely carved pillars, showcasing traditional patterns
and flowers. Destined to be demolished, this wonderful old
building was saved and carefully transplanted to Bali to
create the heart and social hub of Khayangan Estate.
This expansive, air-conditioned living and dining area
embraces the spectacular view with the incorporation of glass
walls on two sides. It has been furnished with large sofas and
chairs, a coffee table, a dresser and a rustic dining table
for twelve, all custom-made from antique wood. White drapes
fall between the central pillars, recycled floorboards are
scattered with rugs, and the muted colour theme follows the
natural hue of the timber. Antique statues and carvings from
the islands of East Nusa Tenggara have been fondly placed in
well-lit settings that show them off to their best advantage.
Funky wrought iron lamps and lanterns, designed by the owners,
channel a soft light by night, creating a romantic ambience. A
large, flat screen, satellite TV, DVD and quality sound system
is provided for guests’ entertainment. To the rear is a
separate, fully-fitted, modern kitchen.
Bedrooms
The master bedroom and guest rooms are housed within three,
separate, self-contained Joglos, complete with en-suite
bathrooms, wide verandahs, and lovely views of the ocean, the
garden, the pool, and the social centre of the Estate. The
authentic-style is elegant and enchanting. Each Joglo is
air-conditioned and furnished with fitted wardrobes, seating,
mirrors and lamps. Each boasts a king-size four-poster bed,
built into the beams within the central funnel of the roof.
Soft muslin drapes are clutched within simple tiebacks.
Paintings, local textiles and Ikat cushions create a personal
touch. Each bedroom is equipped with a mini bar/fridge, safe,
satellite TV, stereo system and telephone as well as wi-fi
internet access.
Each luxurious en-suite bathroom is characterized by unique
features. Each is equipped with air-conditioning, an
all-embracing rainshower, a splendidly appointed bathtub, a
toilet, single or twin washbasins, large mirrors, and the
thoughtful provision of cushioned bench seats.
Master Bedroom & Bathroom
The master bedroom is particularly spacious, and enhanced with
the added feature of a bay window and curved window seat, a
wall of fitted wardrobes, a desk, an armchair, and a 39-inch
flat screen plasma TV with satellite TV.
The sumptuous, air-conditioned en-suite bathroom is a study
in symmetry, equipped with large mirrors and ‘his and hers’
washbasins resting upon separate wooden vanity units within
two distinct areas. A toilet, together with a bidet, is
discretely positioned at one end, while a walk-in rainshower
with a pebbled splash back is situated at the other end. The
pièce de résistance, however, can be found on the far side of
an external glass door. Here, in a beautiful private
water-garden, and accessed by stepping stones, a dreamy
oversized bathtub, complete with an overhead canopy, appears
to be floating in a gin clear ornamental pond. In the far
corner of the pond is a ‘floating’, open-sided relaxation
pavilion, sheltered by a roof and furnished with a built-in
sofa and cushions. The serene picture is completed with an
ancient frangipani tree, stag horn and bird’s nest ferns, and
a cascading waterfall.
Business Centre
The air-conditioned business centre is a rare, two-storey
timber Javanese house that has been transformed into a private
office or work space, with a small, open-air meeting area
upstairs. This enchanting building represents a bygone era
with its raised, wrap-around verandah, and two-tiered roof. It
features large glass windows, and has been lovingly furnished
with an antique desk, chair, bookshelves, cupboards and a
kilim rug. It is well-equipped with a computer, a
multi-function printer, scanner and photocopier, and free
Broadband WiFi Internet, which can be accessed all over the
Estate. An external staircase leads up to the breezy meeting
or relaxation area, furnished with a marble-topped table and
chairs. Guests’ needs are further considered with the
provision of a washroom.
Cliff top Pavilion
A large open-sided relaxation gazebo, fitted with cushioned
seating, rests on the cliff top beside a freshwater Jacuzzi
with a chiller. The pool is flanked by a timber deck furnished
with canopied chairs.
Seventh Heaven Spa
The architecture of the cliff top spa blends rusticity and
glamour. Landscaped into the cliff, with a flat roof
supporting a grassy lawn, it is built directly into the rock.
The fully-equipped, air-conditioned spa with its glass-fronted
curved façade, presents a Vichy shower, hot tub, steam room,
massage tables, manicure and pedicure facilities, and a
cave-like room for scrubs and water treatments. Overlooking
the ocean and the beach, it is also a great spot for
meditation. The spa menu offers a full range of massage,
beauty treatments and therapies, such as the Ocean Bath,
Flower Bath and Aromatherapy Bath, as well as a Cucumber Wrap
for sunburn skin.
Gardens and Pool
The gorgeous landscaped gardens of Khayangan Estate present a
very natural feel. Pathways are paved with timber and bordered
by dense beds of tall, gently swaying yellow irises.
Immaculate lawns are punctuated with palms and other carefully
selected native plants and trees, such as bougainvillea,
frangipanis and climbers, to provide a balance of fragrance,
colour and shade.
The infinity-edge, swimming pool is located in front of the
main living and dining area. Shaded by coconut palms and
frangipani, and lined with natural stone, the pool appears to
flow over the edge of the cliff. The timber pool deck is
furnished with canopied sunbeds, while a barbeque and pizza
oven is positioned nearby, making alfresco dining easy and
fun.
Sports Facilities
The tennis court and a fully-equipped gym are located near the
entrance to the Estate.
The tennis court has a covered spectator/viewing pavilion
with benches and antique “gerobok” (rice storage trunks on
wheels) with cushions.
The gymnasium is fully air-conditioned, and includes a full
selection of machines, as well as a stereo system, satellite
TV, fridge and cold water dispenser.
Eco Friendly
Khayangan Estate incorporates many features designed to reduce
its impact on the environment. Bio-degradable waste from the
house and garden is collected, mulched and composted for use
in the gardens. The garden is irrigated using an underground
system that meters water usage on automatic timers. There is
also a water purification plant, which produces drinking
quality water in all taps. Solar panels have been installed on
the roofs for heating water, and ionizers are used instead of
chlorine in the swimming pool, which effectively turn the
water into pure mineral water using a process approved by
NASA. Low-wattage, long life, lighting fixtures keep energy
costs down and timers and sensors are also used to avoid
excess consumption of power. A waste water recycling system is
planned.
Weddings and Parties
Khayangan Estate presents the perfect setting for weddings,
parties and other special events. The extensive lawns are also
ideal for open-air Balinese dance performances and parties.
The catering can be managed by professional caterers who have
the world-class expertise to prepare a sumptuous feast in
addition to the coordination of decorations, flowers, lighting
and entertainment.
Services
The Estate is supported by a carefully selected team of highly
trained staff including chefs, housekeepers, gardeners and
security guards. Khayangan Estate welcomes children of all
ages, cots and high chairs can be provided. Baby-sitting
services, together with the facilities of a car, a driver, a
tour guide and extra staff are also available on request.
Security guards are on duty day and night, and there is also a
state-of-the-art security alarm system.
Location
Khayangan Estate is located in a beautiful area known as The
Bukit – a limestone plateau rising sharply from the sea,
fringed by steep cliffs and some of the most idyllic beaches
in Bali. Characterized by wide open spaces and clear blue
skies, the turquoise waters are the playground of migrating
whales. A tropical, equatorial climate means year-round balmy
temperatures and, even in the rainy season, The Bukit – which
is much drier than the rest of the island – is a reliable
sun-trap. When the southeast trade winds blow offshore and the
southern ocean swells hit the reefs, the barreling surf breaks
are among the best in the world. The only other activity is
seaweed farming, still traditionally practiced by the original
Balinese coastal families.
With Bvlgari Resort Bali as its prestigious neighbours,
Khayangan Estate is only 30 minutes’ drive from Bali’s
International Airport and no more than 45 minutes’ from the
endless shopping, vibrant nightlife and international
restaurants of Kuta and Seminyak. The world-class Bali Golf
and Country Club in Nusa Dua is a mere 15 minutes’ drive, and
Ubud – Bali’s centre for fine arts and cultural performances –
is about 90 minutes’ drive to the north. The remainder of the
island offers a rich mosaic of cultures, tastes, sights and
sounds, together with a wide array of activities.
