Overview
With its stylish contemporary design and panoramic rice-terrace setting
in Bali's Canggu district, The Iman Villa is a fabulous five-bedroom
holiday escape.
Sleek lines, sensational views and sophisticated
interiors, matched with comfort, space and a treasure trove of top-notch
facilities, give The Iman Villa a wide appeal. This luxurious residence
is as perfect for fun family get-togethers as it is for elegant soirees
and unforgettable weddings.

rooftop jacuzzi; sip cocktails in the sunken lounge; soak up the sun as
the kids splash in the wading pool; relax you're on holiday. The Iman

restaurant, bars and boutiques are within easy reach although, with
such fabulous facilities, attentive staff and gourmet meals on hand you

Accommodation
The combination of chic modern design aesthetics and a picturesque Balinese setting among lush paddy fields, towering palm groves and leafy banana plantations, gives The Iman Villa an undeniable wow factor. Built on gently sloping grassy terraces that mimic the surrounding rice fields, you will feel very much a part of the tropical scene, while enjoying it from a luxurious vantage point offering every conceivable modern comfort. Cutting edge features to enhance your stay include Apple TV, massive plasma screens and the sleekest of fittings.
Gleaming under the tropical skies, the white stone buildings are reminiscent of the Mediterranean, while eco-friendly green roofs topped with plants and water features blend in with the natural environment. A distinctive Indonesian flavour is reflected in the intriguing collection of copper lamps, ethnic artefacts, wood carvings and antiques, handpicked by the owners and displayed throughout the villa.
As well as being the ultimate in designer villas, The Iman is also hit with families. Kids will love the wading pool, plethora of floating toys, rooftop jacuzzi, snooker table and terraced lawns. The pizza oven is bound to make them happy too. When it comes to groups, the infinity pool and open-sided living area with its decadent sunken lounge makes a perfect social hub. There's a smaller lounge, dining and kitchen area in the two-bedroomed guesthouse, so options for privacy are ample.
Beautifully presented gourmet meals are served up by the villa's talented private chef, who has a background in fine dining. Friendly and attentive butlers can also whip you up a signature drink or stock the wine fridge with your favourite tipple.
While the village of Pererenan is still sleepy and rural, nearby Echo Beach is famed for its sunsets and seafood barbecues, and the neighbouring district of Batubolong has recently started to buzz with a laid-back beach vibe. Here you will find a trendy assortment of cafes, bars, spas, boutiques and beachfront restaurants.
Entrance to the villa is via the main double-storey building, from a smart private parking area. Occupying the top floor of this building are two bedrooms, both opening onto the attractively planted roof terrace with large sunken jacuzzi and sun loungers set on honey-hued decking. A third bedroom lies on the ground floor next to the exceptionally well-equipped entertainment room.
A wing to the right of the entrance houses the guest and staff kitchens, and at the centre of the property is the delightful open-sided living and dining pavilion and infinity pool. The two-bedroomed guesthouse, with a further living and dining area, is set on a lower terrace of the large gardens.
