Niloufar is just twenty minutes drive from the trendy and buzzing area of Seminyak/Oberoi, where Bali’s most popular beaches, chic boutiques, excellent restaurants and fashionable bars are located. The nearest beach, Canggu, is a short 5-minute drive away. The nearest golf course, Nirvana (designed by Greg Norman), is 10 minutes away.

The villa boasts a 17 x 5 meter swimming pool and a fully equipped gym. The meandering Buwit River borders the villa’s expansive gardens; the property is surrounded by nature and blessed with beautiful views and riverside trails.

Villa Niloufar blends its exceptional location with outstanding facilities, service and privacy. Embracing the trend of ‘Destination’ villas, the property has been designed to contain as many features and amenities as possible, complemented by top levels of service, intended to ensure that guests feel no need to go out for top quality dining and entertainment.

By using the natural elements of the land as architecture, the villa has been carefully designed to promote the spirit of ecological responsibility with minimal impact on the environment. International architect, Gary Fell, generates solutions that blend style with nature. Rooftop water-lily ponds serve the double purpose of being aesthetically pleasing to the eye while, at the same time, providing a natural cooling system as each roof acts as a dense thermal insulator. The swimming pool employs an advanced ionizer filter system, and a water recycling system allows waste water to be reused in the gardens. The villa with its two roof top water gardens, is cleverly landscaped into the contours of the hill.

Entrance

Villa Niloufar is approached via a spacious car park with a security post and an openwork metal pivot gate. Guests will then walk past the first of the two, stunning rooftop lily ponds as they descend a stone stairway into the main, open-air entrance area with its natural stone walls. From here, the full visual impact of the villa takes effect. Eyes will be drawn along the length of an elevated, ornamental pond, past immaculate lawns towards the swimming pool, the river and rice terrace beyond. A pair of welcome statues from the island of Nias rest in front of the entrance hall, and from here guests will look across to the main living and dining area capped with another lotus pond roof.

Living & Dining Room

The expansive living and dining area is open on three sides and features a terrazzo floor. It is cooled by natural breezes and ceiling fans, and amply furnished with an abundance of large segmented daybeds, ottomans and cushions. The décor presents fresh white and natural stone walls complemented by teakwood panels. An antique Timorese dining table for twelve is positioned next to a terrazzo bar, while rustic artwork and primitive statues complete the fusion of ancient and avant-garde. There is a spacious guest washroom located off the living area, complete with a walk-in rainshower.

Kitchen

The kitchen is conveniently located behind the bar, close to the dining area. It is fully equipped with everything that the chef needs in order to prepare delicious meals, in accordance with the needs and whims of his guests. A wet kitchen and a laundry are both tucked away out of sight at the back, together with the service area, staff quarters and staff entrance.

TV Room

The air-conditioned TV room is located off the living room, and is fully equipped with the hi-tech facilities of a Pioneer home theatre, including a Samsung 42-inch plasma TV with 45 channels, a Pioneer DVD/CD player, a Sansui 4X300 watts amplifier, and four BMB speakers – sufficient power for a discotheque! The room is furnished with comfy segmented sofas and a built-in terrazzo shelf unit.

Gym

The gym is located a lower level than the main living and dining area, underneath the swimming pool and overlooking the river. It is accessed by descending an external stairway. The villa gym includes a range of excellent equipment with elliptic, power plates, treadmill, steps… and air conditioning (of course!). There is also a TV and DVD player in the gym and an outdoor shower on the approach.

Bedrooms

There are five self-contained bedrooms at Villa Niloufar, three of which are tucked under a lotus pond roof. There are two master bedrooms; one is located on an upper level and is very private with a terrace and daybed overlooking the magnificent lotus pond above the living area. This spacious room features sliding glass doors to maximize the spectacular view, a custom built teakwood king size bed, hanging space and storage units. The adjoining bathroom is equipped with washbasins carved out of rock and a walk-in shower and toilet within separate glassed areas. An additional walled, garden, bathing area, open to the sky and planted with palms and bougainvillea, is dominated by an oversized, deep bathtub, which has also been carved out of solid black rock.

The second master bedroom embraces lovely views of the garden and terraced rice field. Doors on either side of the king size teak bed open into the bathroom, complete with a large terrazzo tub, twin washbasins, a walk in shower and toilet.

The remaining three bedrooms are all quite similar to each other, yet each one has its own characteristics. Each is furnished with a king size bed and built in wardrobes and storage space. Each bathroom is equipped with a walk-in rainshower, twin washbasins and a toilet. One of these bedrooms features an outdoor shower in a walled garden bathroom.

Each bedroom is equipped with a safe deposit box.

Swimming Pool & Massage Bale

The 17 x 5 meter, swimming pool is located beside the living area. It features an infinity edge on two sides, and is bordered by an ironwood deck that extends the length and one side of the pool. No chemicals are used in the pool; instead it employs an advanced ionizer filter system that is soft on the earth and gentle on the skin. The deck is furnished with deeply cushioned, ‘Hishem’ synthetic rattan sunloungers. On the far side of the pool is a thatched riverside bale, which is a delightful spot for a massage.

Garden & River

The fast-flowing river is particularly beautiful; the river bank is accessed by a winding path and steps, and its jungle environs are restful and cool. The ‘bale bengong’ relaxation pavilion – an enchanting, lazy, breezy gazebo, sheltered by an alang alang roof and supported by pillars – is positioned in a strategic place, so that guests can relax and enjoy the tranquility The Balinese word ‘bengong’ means ‘lost in thought’, and ‘bale’ means an abode, so a bale bengong is literally a ‘contemplation house’, designed for reflection, dreaming and meditation. Shady mature trees include majestic breadfruit, figs and towering palms, together with creepers and ferns. On the far side of the river is a picturesque rice terrace. The extensive grounds are landscaped with flat lawns punctuated with palms. From the swimming pool level, the garden cascades down to the valley; and is planted with many varieties of flowering shrubs. In addition to the main ornamental pond and the two rooftop lotus ponds, another pebble-lined pond rests beside the living area. Guests will be lulled by the soothing flow of the river and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, butterflies and birds.

Party Facilities

The substantial open space within the garden, combined with the grandiose of the property and its extensive facilities, makes Villa Niloufar the ideal tropical setting for weddings, private party, shooting fashion and beauty photography.
