Bali - Ramadewa. Bali
Bali - Ramadewa description
If you're looking for a lavish entertainment villa with bells and
whistles, this is it! Cocooned within the exclusive Laksmana Estate
enclave moments from Seminyak beach, the three-bedroom Villa Ramadewa is
the epitome of contemporary tropical living promising magic the moment
you set eyes on the stunning glass cantilevered entrance door and snake
past the 'Play of the Tango' wire sculpture in the hallway. Traditional
Balinese design elements such as alang-alang (thatched) vaulted
pavilions, ornately carved teakwood dining bale, ornamental ponds and
water features co-exist with stunning museum-worthy artefacts,
contemporary art installations, and an astonishing array of high-tech
gadgets.
Where else would you find a temperature-controlled wine room, or
dedicated music control room with centralized Bose sound system and iPad
control? An iPod in every room and Apple TVs with hundreds of movies?
Uber-chic Philippe Starck bathrooms? And a well equipped study complete
with iMac and separate WiFi system?
Named after one of the key
characters in the Hindu epic the Ramayana, Villa Ramadewa showcases the
owner's extraordinary collection of museum-quality treasures from around
the Indonesian archipelago – among them metres-high stone carvings from
Sumba, an amphibious wooden horse from Bali's Karangasem regency, and a
stone dog from Nias. Heritage artefacts adorn every surface – even
alcoves in the WC and shower enclosures.
in Seminyak's heart, Ramadewa offers a generous amount of space, with
huge swimming pool surrounded by manicured lawns and a raised gym and
oh-so-private sun-bathing deck. Turquoise-liveried butlers are at your
beck and call, 24/7, and from their fiefdom of the state-of-the-art teak
and black kitchen two chefs whip up meals that will keep you happily
dining in-villa rather than taking the short stroll to La Lucciola,
Sarong, Metis or Ku De Ta.
