Villa Soham

Description

This still unspoilt slice of Bali feels far from the bustle of better-known tourism hotspots yet is only half an hour from the airport and close to some of the island’s best known attractions – the iconic Uluwatu sea temple, for example, the seafood restaurants of Jimbaran Bay, and some world-famous surf breaks.  The coastline here is blessed with enchanting sandy coves protected by soaring cliffs.

Within the beautifully designed villa – which skilfully combines contemporary architecture with natural materials from the Indonesian archipelago – are both formal air-conditioned and casual alfresco living and dining spaces, generously sized air-conditioned bedrooms and bathrooms, a large infinity pool hugging the cliff edge, and a well-equipped shared gym and massage area.

After a hearty breakfast served on the dining terrace, spend your morning pushing weights in the shared gym while working up a sweat and cooling off with a few laps in the pool.  After a morning of activity, you’ll deserve a leisurely lunch in the poolside pavilion, and a siesta on the deck followed by a massage.  Take your chauffeured car to Pandawa Beach for an afternoon swim or kayak, then sink into a deep relaxing bath with breathtaking ocean views, before adjourning to the pool pavilion for sunset cocktails and a seafood barbecue prepared by the highly accomplished chef – part of a team of staff dedicated to making your time at Villa Soham really special.  Maybe watch a movie in the media room, then retire to your air-conditioned bedroom for a blissful night’s sleep.

While Villa Soham can host up to 10 guests, it is perfect for multiple families or groups of friends – as many as 20 – when combined with Villa Hamsa.  Conveniently for singles and those travelling with kids, three of the villa’s bedrooms can be set up as twins.
