Villa Windu Asri

Windu Asri epitomises the romance of the Far East with an intoxicating blend of luxury, history, grandeur and colonial ambience no other villa can match.

Designed and decorated in the sublime "Raffles Style," Windu Asri is the perfect place from which to explore Bali or where to simply relax and be pampered. The tropical garden, the white stone colonnades, the marble and wooden floors and the unique air of romantic grandeur will transport you back to a more elegant age, while the seamless service, contemporary technology and attention to detail is completely of our time.

Stained-glass side windows usher guests through the welcoming entrance portico into a lobby overlooking a large swimming pool and garden. Select from six large bedroom suites each with private en-suite bathrooms; four suites feature traditional four poster beds, while the others offer the choice of a super king size or twin single beds.

The option of air-conditioned indoor or outdoor dining areas is available, each capable of seating at least twelve diners. The Outdoor Pavilion is cooled by overhead fans and overlooks the large swimming pool; it features a comfortable lounge area with an adjacent bar for cocktail and beverage service.

Conveniently located in a secure enclave in Petitenget with easy access to fine dining restaurants, chic bars and designer shops; Windu Asri ensures holidaying is a pleasure, a luxury of leisure - and any visit an indelible memory.

LIVING AND DINING AREAS

Windu Asri is blessed with multiple areas where family and friends staying at the villa can meet to mingle and chat. The Outdoor Living Pavilion is a perfect setting with comfortable lounges, ottomans and plantation chairs; the built-in bar is well positioned to provide refreshments.

The balcony off the Media Room provides an elevated position overlooking the pool and gardens; gentle breezes fan the area, making it an ideal place to relax and enjoy a little quiet time in the evening.

Colonial style "cane lounge chairs" are positioned around the property on the front and rear verandahs to the main house and outside the guest bedroom pavilion; well suited for a little private time or for a personal chat away from the crowd.

Windu Asri offers the option of air-conditioned indoor dining with a large more formal table seating up to twelve diners in comfort; the dining room is conveniently adjacent a modern gourmet kitchen.

It's a rare treat to find a Bali villa with a self-contained room dedicated solely to dining but this is what is provided at Windu Asri, furnished with a table for 12, offset by gorgeous artwork, and offering formal, air-conditioned dining.

Alternatively, make the most of the alfresco dining space in the poolside pavilion. Sit back, relax and enjoy some delicious home-cooked meals prepared by the villa's professional chef.

Windu Asri also features a large five burner modern gas barbecue, positioned in the garden near the outdoor dining area. The seafood BBQ is a signature dish on the menu.

BEDROOMS

Each of Windu Asri's splendidly spacious rooms is designed for relaxing, entertaining or hospitality on a grand scale. Here, the grandiose artistry of the colonial era combines with high quality class artwork, an effortlessly cool white palette and understated decor. This is a sanctuary where world travellers who are used to the very best will feel very much at home.

The spacious bedroom suites are all similar in size and design, ensuring all guests in a group have access to the same high standard of comfort.

The majority of bedroom suites are situated in the main house, although two suites are positioned in the single-storey, poolside guesthouse, with access to traditional open air bathrooms but with the comfort of air-conditioned vanity and dressing rooms. All toilets are in separate rooms to the vanities and hand basins.

Each bedroom suite has access to a balcony or terrace, and is equipped with a 40-inch flatscreen LED TV complete with international channels, DVD player and a room safe; all suites are air-conditioned.

DINING

The villa offers an extensive a-la-carte, competitively priced restaurant style menu; including a range of tapas, ideal for a between meal snack or with pre-dinner cocktails.

FAMILIES

The attractions and advantages offered by a villa for a family holiday are many, including access to your own private facilities and the freedom to use them whenever you wish.

Knowing the kids can run around happily, independently and safely, without worrying about other guests is a real plus, and one that means parents are certain to have a more relaxed holiday. The friendly staff at Villa Windu Asri make youngsters feel as welcome as adults; full-time babysitting or child-minding services can be arranged at a very reasonable extra cost.

Although Windu Asri is a great villa for families, toddlers will need to be supervised on the stairs and around the swimming pool; a removable pool fence is available without cost and will be erected at your request. Young children can be easily supervised in the pool as it is visible from all areas of the open-plan living pavilion. Children can also enjoy watching TV or DVDs in the upper-floor media room or in the bedrooms.

The fully-equipped kitchen is able to cater for fussy young eaters or babies. Just discuss your requirements and meal schedules with the Chef and the staff will take care of the rest.

Don't worry about packing all that cumbersome kids' equipment for your stay. Just let us know what you need, and anything they do not have in-house (villa facilities include rollaway beds, cots and highchairs) can be hired on your behalf.
