Villa Moonlight is a stunningly designed luxury rental property overlooking the Indian Ocean on the south-west tip of Bali's Bukit Peninsula. Perched above a steep river gorge, and featuring an abundance of glass to maximize the spectacular 360-degree view of forest, ocean and mountains, this multi-leveled four-bedroom villa with 15-metre pool, has private access directly onto the pristine Suluban Beach and is just a few minutes' drive from many other of the island's best surfing beaches.

Accommodation and facilities include four air-conditioned bedrooms, complete with glamorous ensuite bathrooms, an open plan living and dining area incorporating a fully equipped feature kitchen, and an upstairs sitting room, which offers the choice of open air living or air-conditioned comfort. There is also a rooftop terrace and an entertainment terrace, as well as a very spacious poolside lounge and bar.

This refreshingly different holiday villa in Bali is complemented by terraced gardens full of flowers, ponds, water features, and a 15-metre swimming pool resting beside a smooth flat lawn. A private pathway at the side of the villa gives guests direct access to Suluban beach; a favorite amongst surfers.


Bedrooms:
There are four air-conditioned bedrooms at Moonlight Villa, including the master suite. Each is located at a different level to ensure privacy and maximize the breathtaking views.

Two bedroom features a polished timber floor and another two are marble. Rooms are complemented by custom-made dark wood furnishings including sofas and ottomans. Three bedrooms have king size beds, and one has twin beds, which convert to a king bed.

Each bedroom presents a different color theme through the use of sumptuous fabrics and attractive artwork; each is equipped with air conditioning, ceiling fans, a satellite channel TV and DVD player, a safe deposit box, a hairdryer, and a choice of luxurious pillows. Adjoining dressing areas are fitted with wardrobes and large wall mirrors.

Each ensuite bathroom boasts a six-jet Jacuzzi tub for two, crafted in black polished granite with a handheld shower in the tub, a vanity unit with stylish twin chrome washbasins, and a toilet behind a glass door. A thoughtful array of customized bath amenities has been created using Moonlight Villa's own recipes. Three of the bedrooms have got walk-in rainshowers. Each room also offers a private balcony or terrace furnished with a daybed for relaxing.

The Master Suite is positioned next to a relaxing water cascade and includes a living area with a segmented sofa and a desk. The ensuite bathroom, with its eight-jet Jacuzzi tub, leads into a private walled garden area featuring a rainshower sheltered under a pergola roof.

Living and Dining Room:
The open plan Living & Dining Room is characterized by glass doors on every side, which can be open for a true tropical living experience, or alternatively closed for air-conditioned comfort. It is also fitted with ceiling fans. This expansive room presents a comfortable sitting area at one end with a sofa, two chairs, an ottoman and a coffee table. In the center is the dining area with a two tone wooden table and eight comfy dining chairs as well as three stools for kids. There is a washroom to one side, while the feature open plan kitchen is incorporated at the far end.

Ponds flow around this room, and one set of doors opens onto a shallow 20 cm clear water pool, lined with green Java stone. Two chairs and a small table rest in this pond, making it a great place to sit while keeping your feet cool. The staff can also place a dining table and chairs in here to create a unique dining experience. The water flows via a waterfall directly into the swimming pool in the garden below.


Media and Sitting Room:
The upstairs Sitting Room is located on the top floor in the heart of the villa, with fabulous 360 degree views. The room is very light and airy with glass doors and windows that open to allow the sound of the surf and the cool breezes to permeate. The room is furnished with a sofa, chairs, and a chaise lounge covered in cream and dark orange printed fabrics. One corner presents another cozy chair, making this a delightful spot for reading. Guests also have the choice of air-conditioned comfort and the provision of a 42" TV and DVD player with a Sony surround sound system. A guest washroom is located off this sitting room.


Garden and Pools:
The 15 x 3 meter, elbow-shaped swimming pool is positioned on the lowest level and flanked by a sundeck furnished with classy sunloungers and umbrellas. The shallow end of the pool is perfect for young kids as they can safely play here. The adjacent pool deck is also ideal for children as it is shaded by the roof of the pool lounge and therefore protects children from the harmful rays of the sun. As an adult you will also enjoy this end of the pool, because it is designed so that you can lie down and massage your back on the whirlpool jets under the waterfall without worrying about the dangers of sunburn. There is a pool shower and a guest washroom, as well as a poolside lounge and bar.


The Kitchen:
The modern feature kitchen is open plan and incorporated at one end of the spacious living and dining area. It is fully equipped with a five-hob gas cooker, a 'La Germania' oven and hood, a large double door fridge, and a black polished granite worktop flanked by a long glass window, which maximizes the light and the valley view. There is a central island with an eating bar complemented by three low stools.


Poolside Lounge and Bar:
The very spacious Poolside Lounge is sheltered by a roof and open at the front, leading directly into the pool. The floor is sensibly fashioned from nonslip tumbled marble, and the lounge is furnished with an L-shaped sofa and a huge 3 x 3 meter daybed. A wall mirror doubles the feeling of space. There is also a 32" TV and a polished black granite bar, making this a very pleasant hangout to enjoy a refreshing drink or sunset cocktail. There is also an alfresco dining table for four, and a surround sound system.


Rooftop Terrace:
The rooftop terrace is open to the sky and is a particularly beautiful place to be on a starlit or moonlit night. It features an interlocking mosaic floor created from tumble-washed marble, and is furnished with a sofa, chairs, ottomans and a coffee table made from all-weather rattan and Sunbrella fabric. During the day, this sunny terrace is a great lookout spot for watching surfing, butterflies, kingfishers and monkeys in the wooded valley below.

The locale

Villa Moonlight is located on the most south-westerly tip of the 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 and surf breaks in Bali. Most are no more than a few minutes drive away, but there is also a private pathway from the villa to the secluded Suluban Beach which, with its clear water and pristine white sands, is a favourite among surfers and beach junkies.

While there is very little by the way of shops and fine-dining close to the villa (hiring a car and driver is strongly recommended if you wish to explore), there is a slew of surfer hangouts, beach bars and small Indonesian warungs (restaurants), within a couple of kilometres, where cold beer and good local food can be had.
