This elegant four-bedroom residence is situated on a secure and private, gated estate in the heart of fashionable Petitenget on Bali's south-west coast. The villa is within walking distance, or a short taxi ride, of Petitenget beach and the many chic boutiques, restaurants and beachclubs, vibrant nightspots and sumptuous spas of Bali's hip and happening Seminyak area.

Coming soon, the six-bedroom Villa Windu Asri will be joining Villa Windu Sari to create Windu Villas, capable of providing luxury private accommodation for up to 20 adult guests. Rented independently or combined, the two villas, which are linked by a door in the garden wall, will offer guests the choice of a four-bedroom, six-bedroom or ten-bedroom renting option.

"Windu Sari" - which loosely translates as "a beautiful place in time" is a peaceful oasis in the heart of Petitenget on Bali's southwest coast.

Entered via a traditional Balinese gateway, Villa Windu Sari is set within a gorgeous garden courtyard, complete with a 12.5-metre swimming pool and an exotic collection of flowering, tropical plants and trees.

This contemporary-styled, luxury villa is characterised by an abundance of teakwood and marble, and comprised of two, double-storey, shingle-roofed pavilions housing four bedrooms - each with an ensuite bathroom, a magnificent open-sided lounge and dining area, a cosy media room, an entertainment terrace, gym, kitchen and staff-service area.

The villa is securely located within a small private estate, the entrance of which is monitored 24 hours, with an additional night-security-guard on duty directly outside the front entrance.

The property to be known as "Windu Villas" is currently being extended, and will shortly feature two adjoining yet independent private villas, each showcasing a distinct and unique style. Villa Windu Sari is beautifully casual and relaxed while Villa Windu Asri will have a slightly more majestic and formal feel. When combined, the two properties will provide luxury private accommodation for up to 20 adult guests.

LOUNGE:
The spacious Lounge & Dining Pavilion is characterised by a soaring roof, splendid honey-coloured timber panelling, a creamy-coloured Indian stone wall and polished marble floor.

Open on three sides, it is cooled by gentle breezes and ceiling fans and dramatically lit by pendulous copper lanterns.

The Lounge Area is furnished with comfortable sofas and ottoman complemented by a glass coffee table with hidden lighting that creates a soft glow at night.

Wifi covers this area, and an iPad is available for guest use, and to control the Sonos sound system, which includes an extensive music collection to suit all tastes.

This is a great spot to meet for a pre-or-post dinner gathering; the appearance of the garden and pool are equally attractive and appealing by night as they are by day.

MEDIA ROOM:
A marble staircase leads from the main Lounge and Dining Pavilion up to the Media Room. Elegantly furnished with deeply-cushioned upholstered armchairs and a long sofa, standard lamps, a large floor rug and a built-in desk that hugs the wall, this is a great place to escape and chill out in air-conditioned comfort.

On a hot day especially, this is the room-of-choice for taking in a DVD movie, listening to some music, surfing the internet or to just sitting and relaxing with a good book or with friends.
The Media Room is well-equipped with a 50" plasma screen, cable-channel television, DVD player and a state-of-the-art Yamaha theatre surround sound system. Also included is a computer providing internet access.

BEDROOMS:
The four bedrooms are situated in a self-contained two-storey "Sleeping Pavilion" positioned at one end of the enticing swimming pool.

All bedrooms have sliding glass doors with teakwood shutters, timber floors and handmade coffered timber ceilings. Each is equipped with wardrobes, air-conditioning, a safe deposit box, a 32" TV with cable channels, and an iPod docking station.

Three of the bedrooms contain super king-size beds, while the fourth has the option of twin king singles or a super-king-size configuration.

Additional bedding can be provided for children with rollaway beds or cots for infants. This enables small children to share the bedroom facilities with their parents.

POOL AND GARDEN:
Villa Windu Sari is surrounded by a high stone wall enclosing a lush tropical garden, which incorporates a sparkling, deep-blue swimming pool complete with timber deck.

The refreshing pool is 14 metres long and 5.5 metres wide; the depth varies from 1.5 to 2.2 metres. There is a wide ledge at one end of the pool where young children can frolic or older folks can sit and relax, or remain semi-submerged and cool while they sunbathe.

A large open-sided "bale" relaxation pavilion and a Himalayan-stone water cascade are located poolside. The deck is furnished with adjustable sunbeds and an umbrella. An adjacent pool shower is provided for guest convenience.

Lush green lawns are bordered by an eclectic selection of tropical plants, flowering shrubs and trees including palms, mini hibiscus, stag horn ferns and orchids.

At night the garden and pool take on a different and special persona due to cleverly positioned recessed lighting.
