Villa Kinara

Villa Kinara, part of the Villa Kinaree Estate, moments from the beach and Seminyak's boutiques, bars and restaurants, offers a rare fusion of 6 bedrooms striking architecture. Villa Kinara has stunning entertainment space, swimming pool deck and a sensational location on Bali's south-west coast. Villa Kinara was completed in August 2012.

At Villa Kinara, all bedrooms are huge, with seating areas and terraces according myriad private corners. Even more spacious is the open-plan living room defined by soaring teakwood columns and furnished with over-sized sofas, home entertainment centre, bar, billiard table, and 12-seater dining table. Villa Kinara's bedrooms are particularly spacious, with ensuite bathrooms, wide covered terraces, plentiful wardrobe space, and generous indoor and outdoor seating areas. Polished teakwood flooring, designer furniture, fascinating artefacts and thoughtful lighting create delightfully individual interiors, and plush American Pillo beds dressed with100% cotton bed linen ensure a good night’s sleep. The rooms are individually air conditioned, but those who prefer to embrace the tropical climate can opt to turn on the ceiling fans and open the shutters instead. The vast open-sided and open-plan living area that spreads across the garden level of two pavilions forms the social hub of Villa Kinara.

This is a spectacular space for relaxing and entertaining; defined by soaring teakwood columns and skillfully divided into separate activity areas, with the swimming pool edging almost into the room. On one side, conversation is sure to flow with the configuration of over-sized sofas arranged around a huge coffee table, set before a bar with stools, drinks fridge and glass jars full of snacks. An equally social focus here is the full-size billiard table which commands centre-stage. Opposite, alongside the garden terrace, comfortable sofas and armchairs are grouped around a 46-inch flat-screen satellite TV and home entertainment system. The dining area is equally generous, with an enormous slab of teakwood fashioned into a statement dining table seating 12 with room to spare. Behind an island buffet of black granite is the guest kitchen, well equipped with American-style fridge, hob, oven, microwave and an extensive collection of plates and utensils housed in handsome teakwood cupboards. A door from here leads to the ‘backof-house’ section, with separate staff kitchen according extra privacy to guests should they choose to hire a private chef.

Location Tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac within an exclusive residential enclave behind the Oberoi Hotel, Villa Kinara is well placed for guests to enjoy the many attractions of Bali's famed Seminyak area. It’s only a five minute stroll to the beach with its surfers, sun-loungers and string of cafés and bars for sunset cocktails. A little further are the smart boutiques, spas restaurants and nightspots of Jalan Laksmana (also called Jalan Kayu Aya) and Jalan Raya Seminyak.
