Bayu Gita Residence

Nestled within the peaceful setting of Ketewel – an idyllic fishing village set on Bali’s east coast – Bayu Gita Residence is a haven of peace. Envisage swaying palm trees dropping coconuts into the Indian Ocean, fisherman hauling their daily catch to the shore and easy-going surfers lazing in hammocks – there are few more serene dreams than this.

Just 100m from the sultry black sands of Pabean Beach, the scenery is as striking as the architecture – the villa boasting an eclectic mix of contemporary flourishes and traditional Balinese designs. With an array of intricate detail complimenting ultra-comfortable soft-furnishings, guests will wallow in the depths of indulgence of their dwelling.

With the warmest of staff on hand to tend to their every whim and desire, whether the butler to deliver sublime evening cocktails or a chef to unveil banquets of tropical delight, little is beyond reach in this paradise-found. A driver is available for a supplementary fee, whether voyaging in discovery of the mystical Sanur, or exploring the cultural variety of Ubud. Bali Marine Safari is a favourite for younger group members – this activity-fuelled spot guaranteed to get the adrenalin flowing.

Ensuring a tranquil escape from the livelier haunts of the island, Bayu Gita Residence is as comfortable as a three-bed as when rented in combination with Villa Bayu Gita – extending the accommodation with an additional six bedrooms, this can be the ideal way to bring the family together.

Set off the dramatic east coast of Bali, the volcanic black sands of Pabean Beach the perfect counterpoint to the allure of Bayu Gita Residence, there are few more spell-binding destinations. Unrivalled views of breath-taking beaches, glimpses of untrodden islands and a dramatic mountainous skyline – the east coast is unique in its pulsating variety. Surfers frequently descend on the less crowded waves of this coastline for a much-needed respite from the bedlam of Kuta or Uluwatu.

Sanur is the more populous seaside town that draws crowds with its easy-going vibes – discover charming cafes, refined restaurants and beach-front bars, while the waters are friendlier to swimmers and kayakers alike; there’s even a boardwalk for romantic sundown strolls.

For quainter environs, seek any one of the myriad fishing villages on the surrounding shorelines: local arts and crafts; the daily catch; silverware and woodwork – the eclectic wares available for sale are endless. Then for spiritual indulgence – Ubud is the cultural capital of the island, and just 30-minutes’ drive.

Two floors of glass-walled bliss, retract the doors and enjoy the cooling sea breeze as it washes over and refreshes the soul. Indulgent sofas and vibrant furnishings ensure the sense of lavish opulence is not lost, while a Jacuzzi remains in constant sight, as does the 11m infinity pool and the pool-side gazebo – picturesque backdrops for early evening aperitifs.

Favouring indigenous materials over imported goods, the ebony hues of timber lattice create a mystical aura that offsets the softer look of sandstone surfaces; intricate details that only add to the welcoming vibe of the villa. Each of the three bedrooms is capacious in their offering: the master suite on the top floor – ocean views and a beautiful ensuite scream high-end – while the two guest suites enjoy equal comfort with queen sized beds and generous ensuites.

Whether hosting larger gatherings or honeymoon escapes, Bayu Gita Residence is an idyllic setting that will match the splendour of the scenery with the poise of the occasion.
