Surrender your senses and succumb to the seductive charms of Taman Ahimsa, a seven-bedroom oceanfront villa on Bali's south-west coast, where a beguiling mix of nature and organic design blend together in perfect synergy.

The buildings are designed to resemble boat hulls, sacred spirals and seashells are appropriate symbols for this idyllic retreat. The tang of the salty air, the lulling sound of the rolling ocean and the heavenly scent from the abundant Frangipani blossoms all combine in perfect harmony to make your sojourn here a rich, enchanting whole.

Taman Ahimsa provides wonderful spaces for friends and families to come together and enjoy Bali's tropical treasures whilst also offering private opportunity for contemplation and rejuvenation.

From the moment you cross the traditional wooden bridge and walk through the boat-inspired bamboo entrance you are transported to a magical oasis at Taman Ahimsa, the Garden of Peace.

The use of organic materials such as alang-alang roofing, coconut husks, bamboo, rattan and recycled wood allows the pavilions to meld into the landscape, enhancing, rather than imposing on, the stunning natural setting. The sprawling, lush gardens, abundant with swaying coconut palms, alive with effervescent splashes of color from the hibiscus and bougainvillea, and vibrant with birdsong, cascade all the way down to the black-sand beach. Inside, a wonderful selection of Indonesian artifacts, including ornate handmade Balinese fabrics sourced from the hillsides of Ubud, give unique charm and character to every space.

Luxuriate under a sunshade by the Java-stone pool and gaze towards Uluwatu, one of Bali's most sacred temples. Enjoy a massage in a thatched garden bale, or still your thoughts as you gaze over the jade-green ocean. Borrow one of the resort's bikes and follow the road through the sculpted rice paddies surrounding the charming seaside village of Cemagi. This is unchanged Bali, a land steeped in tradition and the spiritual, where, at any moment, you might stumble upon a colorful ceremony and find yourself in the midst of the exotic and ancient.

Step from the poolside decking directly onto the beach, and enjoy cocktails as you watch the sunset. Congregate for meals at the elegant teak dining table and let your taste buds be dazzled by the stunning cuisine prepared by the highly skilled chef and his team. And after dinner, use the villa's telescope to gaze at the blanket of stars adorning the Balinese night sky.

Taman Ahimsa will soothe your senses, invigorate your soul, and provide you with a renewed sense of oneness. At the end of your stay you will literally have to tear yourself away as Taman Ahimsa does not relinquish its guests easily.
