Every
bedroom at Bendega Nui has lovely open views across the
greener-than-green rice fields of Canggu. The villa can accommodate
eight people in three king-bedded rooms and a twin room (which can
convert into a king-bedded room). There is capacity to add three more
foldaway beds for children if required, and a stand-alone master suite
creates an optional fifth bedroom. All bedrooms are air conditioned,
generously sized, tastefully furnished, and have ensuite bathrooms and
balconies.
Purple room (master pavilion)
Accessed
by steppingstones across a garden pond, the first master bedroom is
housed in its own pavilion at the front of the gardens and overlooking
the rice fields. This room is private, peaceful and perfectly placed. A
canopied, four-poster, king-size bed facing a private terrace is the
focus of the room. Behind the bed is a large, walk-through dressing
area. At one end of the vast ensuite bathroom is a sunken double
bathtub, while, at the far end, is a spacious shower area. A door at the
side of the bedroom leads out to the pool and gardens.
Orange room (upstairs master)
In
this upper-floor bedroom, a centrally placed four-poster king-size bed
looks out onto a private terrace with daybed that, in turn, overlooks
the gardens, pool and rice fields. Behind the bed, a dressing area leads
through to the large ensuite bathroom where a super-size bathtub looks
over the gardens at rear of the villa. Adjoining the bedroom is a study
equipped with a laptop computer and printer for guest use.
Green room (upstairs master)
The
Green room, also furnished with a king-size four-poster bed, looks out
over a "wall" of sliding glass doors that open onto a balcony furnished
with a colourful daybed shared with the twin room next door. The large
bathroom is fitted with a shower area and bathtub with views of the
ocean.
Turquoise room (upstairs twin)
Bendega Nui
has been designed with families in mind and this twin-bedded room, with
its cheerful turquoise accessories is ideal for children (the beds can
be easily converted to a king size if preferred). This bedroom also
features a 37-inch flat screen TV. The ensuite bathroom has a spacious
walk-in shower and double wash basins.
One bedroom pavilion (with private plunge pool)
Set
in a private courtyard, this master suite is accessed through a
traditional Balinese gate from the main villa. It comes complete with
its own 6 x 3-metre plunge pool, sun deck and pool balé. The outdoor
bathroom has a decadent stone soaking tub for two and shower. Inside,
the four-poster king-size bed sits beneath a traditional thatched roof.
The room is equipped with an iPod dock, television, DVD player and
minibar.
Living room
Two
sets of tall sliding doors open to reveal a spectacular open-air,
double-height sitting room facing the gardens, pool and rice fields.
This fan-cooled space, which seats 12, is simply but stylishly furnished
with two oversized black teak sofas and armchairs set around matching
coffee tables. The black upholstery is brought to life with vibrant
contrasting green and orange patterned scatter cushions.
Along
the back wall of the sitting room, an ancient canoe has been topped with
glass and transformed into a 6m-long table; a stunning centrepiece for a
buffet dinner. Above the canoe, a set of antique carved panels are
framed against a wall of golden sandstone. A galleried walkway runs
above the sitting area providing another opportunity to enjoy the views.
Dining and kitchen
To
the right of the sitting room, glass doors lead into the
wooden-floored, dining room, showcasing a massive, five-metre-long solid
Merbau dining table that seats up to 20 people. More glass doors open
onto the garden at the front, while a large mirror is set in an antique
door frame at the far end of the room. A charming glass-fronted cabinet
houses glassware and crockery next to a door leading through to the
kitchen.
The kitchen at Bendega Nui reflects the owners? love of
cooking. This fully fitted, air-conditioned room has such appeal that
it?s almost tempting to give the chef a day off! Dark wood cabinets,
cream-colored Corian work tops and glass splash-backs create clean
lines, while a large central island ensures plenty of work space.
The
chef's biggest delight is the range of equipment available to him here ?
including an extra large oven, a Jura Impressa coffee machine,
waffle-maker, Cuisinart panini toaster, ice cream maker and dishwasher,
to name but a few. The kitchen is also equipped with two large fridges,
and a freezer and wine fridge in the pantry. Just outside is a
custom-built pizza oven.
Library and games room
In
the comfortable library and adjoining games room, a set of
floor-to-ceiling shelves contains numerous books on Bali and Indonesia
as well as more popular holiday reading. The library has a 50-inch
flat-screen television with DVD player and more than 50 international
satellite channels. An L-shaped sofa and two floral print chairs offer
plenty of comfort in front of the TV.
The games room is almost
completely surrounded by glass and can be opened up to the gardens on
three sides. Bar stools and easy chairs provide seating for spectators
around the full-sized pool table and there's a wide selection of other
games available too. Opposite the games room is a delightful guest
washroom. Finished in warm Indian Sandstone, and furnished with an
antique cabinet, this washroom opens into a pretty walled garden.
Outdoor living
The
11 x 11-metre stone-tiled infinity-edged swimming pool overlooks the
rice fields. As well as being large enough for some serious swimming,
the pool is perfectly positioned for sunset cocktails, which can be
enjoyed from the wide stone shelves set into the pool at just the right
depth.
Next to the pool a breezy open-sided pavilion is furnished
with a huge built-in daybed and a table for up to 10 people. This is a
great place to congregate at the start of the day for a
?come-as-you-please' breakfast. A handy kitchenette with a water cooler,
bar fridge and sink is concealed neatly behind louvered doors and
around the corner is a guest changing room with toilet and shower.
To
the far side of the lawn, perched over a koi pond, is a peaceful
relaxation balé. furnished with a comfortable daybed, floor cushions and
two petrified-wood stools.
Families
The family
friendly advantages of a villa holiday are many, including access to
your own private facilities and the freedom to use them whenever you
want. Knowing that the kids can run around happily, independently and
safely, without you having to worry about other guests, is a real plus -
and one that means parents are certain to have a more relaxed holiday
too.
Bendega Villas is well set up for families, offering
flexible bedroom configurations, plenty of garden space, and
well-stocked games and TV rooms. We would, however, advise caution for
families with toddlers due to the numerous water features throughout the
two properties.
The team of friendly staff at Bendega Villas
will make children feel as welcome as adults, and having these willing
helpers on hand gives guests plenty of flexibility and freedom to do
their own exploring beyond the villa grounds (full-time babysitting
incurs a small extra cost).
Although the equipped kitchen allows
you to prepare meals for fussy eaters or babies with ease, staff will
happily to do this for you ? just talk through your requirements and
meal schedules with the villa manager or chef and they will take care of
the rest. Bendega Burgers for brunch? Home-made pizza and ice cream for
tea? No problem. The villa has a special kids menu with all the usual
favourites and more.
Don't worry about packing all that
cumbersome kids' equipment for your stay. Just let us know what you
need, and anything we don't have in-house (villa facilities include baby
cots, highchairs, movies, books, games and pool toys) we can hire on
your behalf
Dining
One of the great benefits of renting a
villa is the option to relax and enjoy delicious food - Asian and
Western - prepared where and when you desire. Bendega Villas has a
full-time chef and a cook who will delight villa guests with beautifully
presented dishes - from roasted vegetable salads, to Balinese chicken
curry, to nasi goreng (fried rice), to steak and chips. The deserts are
not to be missed either - or the chef's homemade jams and chutneys. They
are happy to try out new dishes and even to share the kitchen ?
especially when guests are willing to share their favourite recipes!
Bendega Villas also has its own pizza oven, which produces some
wonderful gourmet pizzas to order.
Daily breakfast is included in
the villa rate and a suggestion menu is in place where meals can be
designed in consultation with the chef and villa manager. Groceries and
beverages are charged at cost price plus a 20% handling fee which is
subject to service charge and government tax. Guests will be requested
to provide grocery money in advance, and the staff will do the shopping
and keep the receipts for reference.
Please remember while the
villa's facilities and staff capabilities are of the highest quality,
the villa's kitchen cannot maintain the same inventory as a restaurant
serving hundreds of patrons in a day. Therefore please discuss meals in
advance (ideally 24 hours) to allow the chef and his team time to
purchase and prepare for you.
Gym & Spa
To the right
of Bendega Nui's entry courtyard, a stepping-stone pathway leads across
the lawn to the gym and massage room, housed in its own private
pavilion. A woodwork screen divides this room, with a massage bed on one
side and an exercise bike and treadmill on the other. While they
exercise, gym users have the option to watch TV or listen to music,
which can be programmed specifically for this room.
Although
surrounded by glass on three sides, the gym and massage room is fitted
with blinds that can be pulled down for privacy and the room can be
fan-cooled or air-conditioned.
Tucked away behind the gym is an
outdoor bathroom with toilet, rain shower and, the pièce de résistance, a
huge bathtub carved from a single piece of black granite, reached by
stepping stones over a tranquil pond. The walled garden surrounding the
tub is planted with frangipani and palms and a Flame of the Forest tree ?
a sublime place to relieve those aching muscles after a good workout.
NOTE:
As the gym is located within the gardens of Bendega Nui, it is only
available to guests at Bendega Rato when Bendega Nui is unoccupied or
the villas are rented together.
We can recommend a range of
deluxe treatments carried out by fully trained therapists from a
reputable local spa (extra charges will apply). Here's a sample of
what's on the menu:
MassageRelease 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 reflexologyFoot 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 scrubA
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/pedicureOur
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.
Wedding
Bendega Villas has hosted numerous weddings and is one of the most sought-after private event venues in Bali.
Weddings
for up to 100 guests (or 60 seated guests) can be arranged at Bendega
Nui, it?s poolside lawns making a beautiful setting overlooking the rice
fields, and when Nui is rented together with Bendega Rato and the one
bedroom pavilion, a total of 16 adult guests and six children can be
accommodated.
Parties of up to 25 guests can be catered for by
the villa staff team, and for larger numbers we can recommend expert

relaxing and celebrating with your guests.
