Banyan Estate Villa is named for
the ancient and sacred "Banyan Tree" that dominates
the land and the buildings, this property boasts many modern
amenities to allow guests to enjoy their Bali vacation in
style.
Located less that half an hours drive from Bali's
International Airport, and only ten minutes from the
restaurant and nightlife center of Seminyak and Legian, Villa
Banyan is a newly renovated magnificent property.
Six bedrooms (Queen sized
double beds)
Total Living Area: 1200m2
Total Area of Grounds: 3500m2
Within the estate itself, following a compound style
that is very common in Bali, are six individual structures.
Starting from the main entrance after the parking lot, staff
and security quarters, the main house is adjacent to the large
sundeck which holds the swimming pool, next is the guest
house, the gym, and two outdoor bales (traditional Balinese
gazebos).
A staff of sixteen is on hand to ensure that your
stay is a pleasant one. There is a safe located on the
property with which to safeguard guest's valuables.
The first thing guests will notice upon entering Banyan Estate
is the impressive "Banyan Tree" positioned in the middle of
the complex that
towers above the dining bale that features an wooden antique
round table and six chairs.
To the west lies a small lawn,
scattered with tropical flowers and strands of young bamboo.
The property is roughly triangular shaped, bordered on two
sides by high walls and on the longest side by a small river.
Owing to its large size and detached structures, there are
many separate and distinct areas where guests can congregate
in large numbers or break up into smaller groups depending on
how the mood strikes them, making it eminently suitable for
hosting large groups of people and entertaining.
The main house is made up of two floors with a large wrap
around deck on the second floor, topped by a alang-alang
(thatched) roof. At one end of the main floor is the dining
room with its stately sixteen-seat wooden table that was
custom made for the villa.
Separated by a wide counter,
complete with bar stools, is a large open plan western style
kitchen, fully furnished with western facilities and
amenities.
At the other end of the main floor is a bedroom with en-suite
bathroom.
All these rooms look out onto the large white sandstone
sundeck complete with six spacious deckchairs, that hosts a
large blue tiled 12m kidney shaped swimming pool, and a
smaller one adjacent to the other, containing built-in seats
suitable for lounging.
Next is the stairs leading to the second floor. Upstairs, we
find three bedrooms and the balconies.
At one end is the
master bedroom with its own marble tiled en-suite and large
walk-in closet. The bedroom opens onto a large wrap-around
deck that overlooks the estate.
At the other end of this floor are the other two bedrooms.
Both these rooms share a communal bathroom and one of the
rooms has access to its own private balcony.
Separated from the main house and the pool by approximately
fifteen meters is the guesthouse. It sits beside the river
with a small wooden deck, table and chairs and has an
alang-alang roof similar to the main house. Contained within
are two large bedrooms, each with its own en-suite Bali style
(open-air) bathroom.
The gym lies behind the guesthouse, next to the river, in its
own small building, again with an alang-alang roof. The front
has a wooden deck overlooking the river. Inside is a large
multifunction machine for weightlifting, along with gym mats
and space for other exercise pursuits.
All the buildings are
painted in warm earthy colors set off by the white deck, green
grass, thatched roofs, and the green ivy flowing down from the
second floor of the main house producing a very Mediterranean
feel.
Terrazzo has been used for the all the floors, leaving them
cool to the feet in the tropical heat of Bali. Ceiling fans
provide extra ventilation in all living areas throughout the
property, and all the bedrooms have air conditioning. Antiques
and Balinese statuary are displayed in the house and grounds
of the estate.
In front and off to one side of the main house is the outdoor
dining bale. Between the guesthouse and the main house is the
Massage bale. A semi covered pavilion that contains day beds
and cushions, providing a perfect setting with which to enjoy
the scenery or an afternoon massage.
Banyan Estate represents an interesting mix of Balinese and
Western architectural features, offering a compound that fits
into the surrounding rice fields and tropical flora, while
sacrificing none of the modern day comforts.
