Master bedroom

Glass sliding doors and expansive windows ensure that Villa Aiko's enormous master bedroom is wonderfully light and airy and makes the most of the panoramic views. This tastefully furnished room, with rich, warm wood flooring, features a king-size bed and opens onto a balcony linking to a rooftop terrace furnished with canopied double sunbeds and a dining table for enjoying alfresco meals (the terrace can also be accessed from an external flight of stairs). The master ensuite is simply spectacular. This bright, sleek bathroom is fitted with twin sinks and a rain shower, while an enormous tub set below a glass roof is just made for starlit bathing.

Guest bedrooms

The three guest bedrooms on Villa Aiko's ground floor are fitted with floor-to-ceiling glass doors, again making the most of the wonderful views. Furnished with king-size beds they feature outstanding ensuite bathrooms with rain showers and generously sized tubs. Two of the rooms have shaded, furnished balconies that face the pool, while the third is accessed from the dining and kitchen area.

All bedrooms at Villa Aiko are air-conditioned and equipped with 32-inch television screens.

Villa Aiko features two fabulous lounge rooms. The first, on the ground floor, overlooks the manicured lawn and swimming pool and is part of the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, where an imposing, blond wood, ten-seater dining table lies next to the sleek modern kitchen.

Also on the ground floor is the library, a wonderful spot in which to relax on the stylish leather sofas and read a book.

The spacious upstairs living area is a great retreat - kick back and watch television or sink into the couch and enjoy an afternoon snooze. Young guests will enjoy their own kiddie utopia in the air-conditioned second-floor playroom, which opens onto a spectacular rooftop terrace.

Villa Aiko has a plethora of outdoor spaces to take advantage of the island's wonderful climate. Luxuriate in the open-air jacuzzi, share a love seat on the rooftop terrace and watch the sun set over the ocean, relax on a poolside sun lounger, or dine under the stars and watch the lights of Jimbaran reflecting on the ocean below.

With a full-time cook on hand, there's little need to leave Villa Aiko other than to surf up an appetite! Delicious home cooked cuisine will be prepared for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you crave bacon and eggs for breakfast ? or at any other time of the day ? just let the cook know. The only thing you have to decide is whether you want poached, scrambled or fried...

With such an amazing range of tropical fruits available, the cook can concoct some wonderfully refreshing juices for you to sip by the pool ? the lemongrass and pineapple is a must-try.

Other house specialties include the balsamic sautéed chicken and the melted chocolate pudding. And be sure to try some Asian delicacies too: the nasi goreng (fried rice) and beef rendang curry are both highly recommended.

Groceries and beverages are charged at cost price plus 20%. Guests will be requested to provide grocery money in advance and the staff will shop for you and keep receipts for your reference.

SPA

Feel like a body scrub or massage? Just ask our staff to bring the spa to you! We can recommend deluxe treatments carried out in the privacy of your own villa by fully trained therapists from a reputable local spa (extra charges will apply). Here's a sample of what's on the menu.

Balinese massage
Release built up tension with a traditional Balinese massage. Using a combination of gentle stretches, acupressure and aromatherapy oils to stimulate the flow of blood, oxygen and energy around your body, you will feel totally relaxed in no time.

Foot reflexology
Foot reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet that correspond to every part of the body. Through application of pressure on these reflexes tension is relieved and circulation improved leaving you feeling balanced.

Body scrub
A full body scrub will exfoliate and hydrate your skin leaving it soft and smooth. A rejuvenating scrub combines an abrasive material such as salt, coffee, rice bran or pecan hulls with essential oils to remove any impurities and make your skin glow.

Manicure/pedicure
Our hands and feet work hard for us every day but rarely get the attention they deserve. Treat them to a manicure or pedicure, which usually comes with the added bonus of a quick hand or foot massage.
