VILLA UMAH DI
BEJI
Set in a picturesque location
with tropical jungle surround and bordering the Sumai river,
Villa Umah di Beji is a magnificent tranquil villa of exceptional
aesthetic appeal. Five building structures housing the five
delicious king-sized suites are creatively set amidst the
mature garden and numerous water features, surrounding the
rectangular "bath " (beji) swimming pool. This
villa is without doubt one of the finest examples of five
star accommodation available in Bali today.
The first building is the main living space, an elongated
wall-less bale (Balinese gazebo). This space encompasses
a ten-seater dining table centred below a gorgeous teak
chandelier with drooping candles, and an eclectic mix of
lounging areas. Adorned with an array of antique pieces
from Lombok and tasteful modern wall hangings, this bale
is the ideal location for entertaining large or small groups
of guests. The state of the art kitchen is intelligently
located in this building so staff can easily attend to every
gastronomic whim of guests.
The master suite is enclosed in a private structure at
the edge of the property with a wooden deck atop the riverbank
and a comfortable daybed for guests to restfully enjoy this
natural retreat. The interior of the suite is the epitome
of modern Chinese luxury. The room focuses around the enormous
bed which is headed by a full length floral wall hanging
framed by dark teak beams and a beautiful example of Chinese
ceramic work. Overlooking the river is a corner lounge area
with soft furnishings and a study room, where there is an
impressive vase collection set in built-in wall boxes and
a striking golden Buddha lamp.
In keeping with the overall style of the villa, water plays
a key role in the opulent design of the ensuite bathroom.
The focal point of the sumptuous garden surround is a teak
bale housing a sunken Kerobokan stone bathtub flanked by
male and female Pembantu (helper) statues. A rectangular
lotus pond with stepping stone access surrounds the bale.
There is also a shower room, lawn area for private sunbathing
and a separate decked bale, ideal for Ti Chi or meditation.
