The Khayangan Estate - complete description
From the Sanskrit word for Seventh Heaven, Khayangan Estate is quite simply as its name suggests, a private villa estate that is stunning -heavenly- and the very best of the Bali luxury villas. Situated in Uluwatu on Bali's Bukit peninsula adjacent to Bulgari Bali Resort. Khayangan rests upon 1.5 hectares of magnificently landscaped gardens, clifftop, 170 metres above Selonding beach. The estate offers one of the best views in Bali with a 180-degree panoramic vista of the Indian Ocean. There are few other Bali luxury villas with a comparable view.
The estate's charm lies in its unique architecture, which features eleven antique joglos-once the traditional homes of Javanese aristocracy-now re-purposed as a private villa in Bali and set amidst a sprawling garden with terraces of yellow irises, swaying palms and fragrant frangipani trees. Reminiscent of the traditional villages of ancient Java, Khayangan is totally unique when compared to any other Bali luxury villas or Bali resorts.
The original features of these beautiful, century-old buildings have been preserved and complemented with fully reclaimed teakwood furniture, ultra luxurious contemporary furnishings and decoration, together with state-of-the-art entertainment and communication facilities, making this not only a wonderful holiday villa but also an excellent Bali wedding villa.
The Khayangan Estate rests in blissful seclusion upon 1.5 hectares of prime, cliff top land, 170 metres above the rolling surf of the Indian Ocean on the southernmost tip of the island of Bali. The Estate is located near the famous Uluwatu temple, and is immediately adjacent to the Bulgari Hotel and Resort, overlooking Selonding beach below.
Set in a magnificent tropical garden, the Estate comprises of a cluster of traditional, antique, wooden Javanese houses, known as Joglo, which have been collected by the owners of Khayangan and saved from destruction. The Joglos, with their distinctive funnel-shaped roofs, have been carefully grouped in a semi-circle, echoing the feeling of a traditional Javanese village. Each is blessed with stunning ocean views, while skilful landscaping enhances the ambience and adds to the privacy. The Estate currently provides luxury accommodation for up to six persons in three, self-contained, fully air-conditioned bedrooms, complete with en-suite bathrooms.
The focal point of the property is the splendid, hand-carved, centuries-old Joglo that serves as the main living and dining room, situated beside a 12-metre swimming pool. There is also a business centre, a magnificent cliff top spa complex, known as the Seventh Heaven Spa, a cliff top pavilion, a tennis court and a well-equipped gym. Phase two of the project will introduce three more bedrooms and another pool.
Designed by Cheong Yew Kuan, one of Asia's leading resort and luxury villa architects, in collaboration with the owners, the architecture blends Javanese tradition with contemporary design and European influences. The buildings incorporate an abundance of recycled teak wood in the form of floorboards, doors and elaborately-carved 'pondopo' centrepieces. This is complemented by ironwood shingle roofs and natural stone finishes. Some of the wall panels have been replaced with ceiling to floor glass, giving the buildings a contemporary feel, and allowing more natural light to enter.
The interiors reflect the travels and passions of the owners, who invite guests to share and celebrate the rich heritage of Indonesia through an eclectic collection of Indonesian antiques, artefacts and artwork. At The Khayangan, tropical island living meets metropolitan convenience, with state-of-the-art entertainment and communication facilities, together with all the comforts and service you would expect from a luxury boutique hotel.
The Khayangan offers numerous relaxation areas, so guests will always find a private spot for peace and quiet. In fact, a large family or group of people could stay at the Estate and still lose each other within its depths. Cool sea breezes and the rhythmic sound of the waves combine to create a close to nature experience.
Khayangan Estate Accommodation
Khayangan Estate is laid out as two clusters, each featuring three, self-contained, Bali luxury villas. Each of these Bali villas presents a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The estate is available for two parties of six persons or as a single residence of six bedrooms accommodating up to 12 guests.Cluster 1 consists of three suites: the Sultan, the Majapahit and the Keraton, together with a dining and living pavilion fronted by an infinity-edge pool overlooking the Indian Ocean.
Sitting higher and closer to the edge of the cliff, Cluster 2 features two joglos, the Maharaja suite and the two-bedroom Sanjaya suite, each with large private plunge pools. The suites are situated on both sides of a second infinity-edge swimming pool, which leads up to the covered terrace in front of a grand living and dining pavilion.
Each suite is exclusively designed and decorated to enhance its individual character. Every bedroom features a majestic king-sized bed set within thick wooden central pillars under a beautifully and intricately carved pondopo or multi-tiered ceiling centre-piece.
Khayangan Estate 1
The Sultan master suite is the largest of the bedroom suites, as well as being the most unique and undoubtedly one of the very best that you will find among Bali luxury villas.
Sultan is complemented by floor-to-ceiling glass panels in the front and sides of the building, designed to let in more light and give a contemporary feel to the sprawling interior. Its original 12-panel carved doors open up to a wide, covered verandah, where you can enjoy alfresco dining or just relax on the lounge beds, soaking up the stunning view of the sea.
The oversized king bed is set within a cocoon of wooden columns and netting and topped with beautifully and ornately carved centre-pieces consisting of many tiers, making you want to laze in bed all day. The bed linen is Egyptian cotton of the highest quality and thread count.
Furnished to the highest levels of comfort with a mixture of ancient surroundings and the best comforts the 21st century has to offer, the simple tones follow the natural hues of the wood. Colour is added however through the clever use of Jim Thompson Thai silk pillows and bed coverings, adding a touch of opulent splendour to the sleeping area.
The Majapahit lies on the eastern end of the property and is situated closest to the edge of the cliff. The picture perfect view of the azure blue sea and horizon framed by antique doors, visible from inside the suite, makes breakfast in bed simply irresistible, and is a rare feature within Bali luxury villas.
The signature Majapahit bed is enhanced with contrasting black lattice panels at its head and foot, which lends a more contemporary feel to the suite.
The Majapahit's bathroom features a 15-cm-thick, single piece of old teak wood in its natural form and shape, on which sits a sink carved entirely out of a single piece of natural river rock. Yet another feature that makes Khayangan stand out from Bali luxury villas. A large black terrazzo bathtub, lined with black river stones from Sumatra, looks out from behind a glass wall over the cliff to the sea.
The smallest but most ornately decorated of the suites in Estate 1, the Keraton features a rare and unique double roof with intricately carved wall panels. Set a little further back than the other suites, the Keraton offers a wonderful view of the estate with its magnificent landscaped gardens against the backdrop of the ocean.
Keraton is tastefully furnished with reclaimed wood furniture and antique carvings in the traditional Toraja motif from Sulawesi, which adds an ethnic accent to its simple but sophisticated interior, making it one of the top Bali luxury villas.
The bathroom walls and ceiling are fully covered with a lattice of antique Javanese-style flower carvings with concealed lighting behind, which casts beautiful shadows all around when lit up at night. Encased on both sides by glass, the double bathtub looks out into a verdant garden with a Balinese style outdoor shower-yet another stunning and rare feature among Bali luxury villas
Khayangan Estate 2
The magnificent and palatial suite, known as Maharaja, is situated almost in the centre of the grounds, at the highest point of Khayangan, affording stunning views over the cliff-top pavilion and the sea below, as well as the lush gardens of this remarkable estate of Bali luxury villas.
The antique doors at the front open up to a private verandah and a plunge pool. The most dramatic aspect of this suite is undoubtedly its spacious bathroom enclosed by a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, and highlighted by a double-sized Jacuzzi, a large rainshower and of course double vanities, all overlooking the majestic Indian Ocean.
At the back of the suite is a delightful outdoor bath, similar to that of the Sultan suite, featuring a pond with a 'floating' terrazzo bath in the middle, and also a private pavilion for lounging in privacy. The pond is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden with frangipani, ferns and tropical plants, giving the impression of a jungle pool.
The Sanjaya Suite sits on the western end of this wonderful Bali villas estate, and comprises two separate bedrooms, with a large bathroom in the middle. This suite, which also has a private verandah and a plunge pool overlooking the ocean, is ideal for families with young children, or for those who wish to stay close together.
Both bedrooms are decorated in similarly grand style, with king-sized beds built into the central pillars of the joglos. A doorway in the middle of the suite opens up to the terrace and landscaped garden in front of the second dining and living pavilion.
Khayangan Estate Seventh Heaven Spa
The architecture of the clifftop spa blends rusticity and glamour. Landscaped into the cliff, with a flat roof supporting a grassy lawn, it is built directly into the rock. The fully-equipped, air-conditioned spa with its glass-fronted curved facade, presents a Vichy shower, hot tub, steam room, massage tables, manicure and pedicure facilities, and a cave-like room for scrubs and water treatments. Overlooking the ocean and the beach, it is also a great spot for meditation. The spa menu offers a full range of massage, beauty treatments and therapies, such as the Ocean Bath, Flower Bath and Aromatherapy Bath, as well as a Cucumber Wrap for sunburnt skin.Khayangan Estate Dinning and Living Pavilion
The living and dining pavilion in Cluster 1 is the largest and oldest of the hand-crafted joglos, created over 150 years ago in Central Java, and therefore quite unique in the world of Bali luxury villas. The most striking feature is its towering core of four intricately and exquisitely carved pillars, showcasing traditional patterns and flowers.The pavilion is immaculately furnished with ultra comfortable lounge sofas and chairs, a large coffee table, a minimalist console and a rustic dining table for 12, all custom-made from reclaimed teakwood. White muslin cotton drapes fall languidly between the central pillars, old teakwood floorboards are dressed with rugs in contemporary motifs, and the muted colour theme follows the warm hue of the natural timber.
Our resident Spanish chef is at hand to prepare personalised menus for your pleasure, 24 hours a day. He will create an array of memorable dining experiences especially for you, whenever and wherever you fancy, anywhere on the estate or even to complement your excursions outside the estate.
Khayangan Estate Gardens and Pool
The gorgeous landscaped gardens of The Khayangan Estate present a very natural feel. Pathways are paved with timber and bordered by dense beds of tall, gently swaying yellow irises. Immaculate lawns are punctuated with palms and other carefully selected native plants and trees, such as bougainvillea, frangipanis and climbers, to provide a balance of fragrance, colour and shade.The infinity-edge, swimming pool is located in front of the main living and dining area. Shaded by coconut palms and frangipani, and lined with natural stone, the pool appears to flow over the edge of the cliff. The timber pool deck is furnished with canopied sunbeds, while a barbeque and pizza oven is positioned nearby, making alfresco dining easy and fun.
Sports Facilities
The tennis court and a fully-equipped gym are located near the entrance to the Estate.
The tennis court has a covered spectator/viewing pavilion with benches and antique 'gerobak' (rice storage trunks on wheels) with cushions.
The gymnasium is fully air-conditioned, and includes a full selection of machines, as well as a stereo system, satellite TV, fridge and cold water dispenser.
Eco Friendly
The Khayangan Estate incorporates many features designed to reduce its impact on the environment. Bio-degradable waste from the house and garden is collected, mulched and composted for use in the gardens. The garden is irrigated using an underground system that meters water usage on automatic timers. There is also a water purification plant, which produces drinking quality water in all taps. Solar panels have been installed on the roofs for heating water, and ionisers are used instead of chlorine in the swimming pool, which effectively turn the water into pure mineral water using a process approved by NASA. Low-wattage, long life, lighting fixtures keep energy costs down and timers and sensors are also used to avoid excess consumption of power. A waste water recycling system is planned.
At Khayangan Estate, tropical island living meets metropolitan convenience, bringing you all the facilities and services that can only be found in Bali luxury villas or within a Bali luxury resort.
