Bayuh Sabbha's master suite occupies the entire second floor of one pavilion. With a wide wooden veranda that runs the length of the suite, large teak and glass doors open to the views beyond. A super-king, four-poster bed dominates the room and a comfortable sofa and a desk complete the furnishings.

The enormous walk-in dressing room with polished wood floors and a mirrored dressing table is a popular spot for brides to prepare for their weddings.

Polished floors continue into the huge bathroom, which has windows on two sides that open to the ocean breeze. A jacuzzi tub is set into a wooden platform overlooking the view while double sinks with brass taps and large ornate mirrors add a luxurious touch.

Below the master suite are two spacious and equally sized guest bedrooms. One  is twin bedded and the other boasts a romantic four-poster king-size bed. Both rooms feature sliding doors onto a stone terrace with sweeping views. Decorated in elegant, classical style with antique furnishings and rustic tribal pieces, both rooms provide desks and extensive closet space. The bathrooms each feature indoor and outdoor showers, bathtubs and courtyard gardens. Brass taps and wooden dressing tables add to the luxurious look of these spacious ensuites.

Bayuh Sabbha's two-bedroom guesthouse has its own entrance and parking area and is linked to the main villa by a limestone walkway. Featuring conical thatched roofs, bleached wood furnishings and tribal art, this building has a relaxed beach-house feel. The living room overlooks the second pool and has yet more breathtaking views. A guest bathroom and a small but self-contained kitchen, equipped with a full-sized fridge, a wall oven and tea and coffee making facilities, are attached.

Flanking the open-sided living area are two circular guest rooms with king-sized beds laid with cotton sheets and local fabrics. The rooms are spacious yet cosy, with dressing areas and indoor bathrooms leading to chic garden bathrooms fitted with freestanding circular bathtubs and outdoor showers protected by thatched roofs. Brass fittings add a touch of elegance.

The guesthouse is a gorgeous addition to the main house, perfect for a family or two additional couples.

Indoor living

Bayuh Sabbha's main living pavilion lies at the centre of the property and is dominated by large wooden sofas topped with deep cushions in muted fabrics to match the tone of the house. An antique Chinese cabinet houses the entertainment system and the room is ornamented with some delightful art and sculptures.

To the right is the dining pavilion, furnished with a square table and 12 chairs, and with a spacious ocean-view terrace. Some more intimately sized tables and chairs make this the perfect spot to enjoy afternoon tea, evening cocktails or a casual dinner under the stars.

A large gourmet kitchen is located behind the dining pavilion and the staff will fill the fridge according to guest's shopping lists. Guests can help themselves to snacks from here, or cook up a storm should they feel so inclined, or simply leave it all to the accomplished chef.

In another building, reached by a covered wooden walkway from the sleeping pavilion of the main villa, is a study with an impressive antique desk, bookcases, dedicated internet connection and comfortable furnishings. This upstairs room, also offering sweeping views, is a perfect hideaway to catch up on messages and work quietly. Downstairs, a comfortable TV room also opens to the view. Air-conditioned and furnished with a deeply cushioned white sofa and a wall lined with bookcases, this room can be converted into an extra bedroom for children, with two single beds, and has a guest toilet.

The villa's air-conditioned gym is well equipped with top-of-the-range weights, cardio machines and a set of free weights, and features mirrored walls and a stereo system. A personal trainer is on call for those who need a little extra motivation.

Outdoor living

A large thatch-roofed Balinese wantilan, set in the gardens beside the main pool, is furnished with low, cushioned sofas. This is the ultimate relaxation area and also perfect for yoga or massage. Ceiling fans and Bose speakers enhance the ambiance.

A romantic balé lies at the far edge of the property looking towards Uluwatu and the setting sun. Put to great use during the many weddings celebrated at the villa, the sunset balé has a stone floor and thatch roof to blend with the style of the house.

Next to the gym is a children's play area with a large sand pit and swings. Parents wanting to keep fit can keep an eye on their kids at the same time.

The estate also has a full-size outdoor tennis court. Floodlit for night games, the court is another fantastic addition to the Bayuh Sabbha estate.

Bayuh Sabbha shares its magnificent 180-degree views with a sprinkling of other private luxury villas and lavish hotels on Bali's trendy Bukit Peninsula. Guests can wander down to Bingin beach from a pathway just beyond the villa's gates, and even as far as Dreamlands beach at low tide. Padang Padang, another popular surfing spot, with more facilities and easier access, is just under two kilometres from the villa back down the main road. The famed Uluwatu Temple ? a mecca at sunset ? is a twenty-minute drive away. If guests want to eat out, there are many five-star resort restaurants within a few kilometres, including the Anantara resort, which is almost next door.

Distances/Maps

Your villa manager, will have a wealth of information about places of interest and will help arrange transport and make any bookings required. Do also ask the staff about the area too. Most will live nearby and can give an interesting insight into some of the fascinating aspects of local Bali life.

In the meantime, here's a taste of the many and varied activities on offer within reach of Bayuh Sabbha.

• Among the local beaches is the famous surf beach at Uluwatu. Not a great swimming beach but fabulous cliff top location to view the surfing and enthusiasts will want to paddle out and challenge the waves. Not quite as spectacular but equally alluring are the beaches of Bingin and Padang Padang, on either side of Bayuh Sabbha. Beautiful white sand bays with rock pools and a host of local cafes. Below Bayuh Sabbha is the tiny cove of Impossibles, low tide here is fine for swimming and one local café offers simple food and juices.

• At Jenggala Keramic in Jimbaran, visitors can browse and buy from a vast range of handcrafted ceramics and glassware.  Jenggala also runs ?Make and Paint a Pot' sessions where ?Children' of all ages are encouraged to get creative.

• The New Kuta Golf club is a 20-minute drive from the villa and features an 18 hole course overlooking the ocean. The adjoining beach, dreamland is suitable for the whole family for both swimming and surfing.

• Both five star and local restaurants are plentiful and close by. Almost next door, the new Anantara has opened offering great views from their Cliffside restaurant. Bulgari and Ayana resorts are among the favourites and the Rock Bar at Ayana is a must-see for sunset cocktails. Finns at Semara has a beach club for more casual dining.

• A seafood feast at Jimbaran is a must for every holiday in Bali ? dozens of seafood warung (cafés) line this west-facing beach, perfect for a sunset dinner.  Fine dining options are available at most of the big resort hotels in this area; notably PJ's, the charming beachside restaurant at the Four Seasons in Jimbaran, serving Mediterranean-styled cuisine.

• Nusa Dua's Bali Collection mall has a host of local boutiques and a department store. Heading towards Kuta (about 40 minutes) brings you to Galleria shopping mall while nearby Tuban has Discovery Mall and streets lined with local shops. Seminyak boutiques are about an hour away.

• Bayuh Sabbha has a temple on the grounds which serves the local community and guests are welcome to participate in ceremonies. Uluwatu's clifftop temple is well worth a visit. Home to local monkeys which are considered sacred in Bali, Pura Luhur Uluwatu is one of the island's most important temples.

• Learn to surf or stand up paddle at Jimbaran Bay, a great place for beginners. Rip Curl School of Surf offers day courses and provides all the equipment.

• Covering 3.8 hectares of tropical parkland in Kuta, Waterbom Bali has 16 water slides (including The Climax with its 360 degree loop) to entertain the young and the young at heart.  A great family day out, but go early to beat the crowds.

Exclusive use of the whole villa and all staff that include a villa manager, skilled cook, housekeepers, gardeners and security.

The Family

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 the villa by fully trained therapists from a reputable local spa (extra charges will apply). Here?s a sample of what?s on the menu:

Massage
Spoil yourself and release built up tension with a traditional Balinese massage by the pool or in the sunset balé. 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 which 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
