Villa Maridadi

Set on the cusp of black-sand Cemagi Beach, with panoramic ocean views supporting sensational sunsets amidst a generous open-air living arrangement, Villa Maridadi is the island-idyll that so many of us can only dream of. The verdant rice fields that stretch behind, bordered by swaying coconut palms, enhance the sea of tranquillity that besets this beautiful spot on the south-west. Pura Gede Luhur Batungaus is the sea temple that sits within view and adds a touch of divine reverence as Balinese-life ambles alongside in its own traditional manner.

Five bedrooms lie peacefully beneath alang-alang thatched roofs, fronted by expansive lawns which look over the large 20m pool and outwards to the Indian Ocean. As the friendly staff attend to your every need, you will unwind into a state of complete relaxation at Villa Maridadi as the waves sing you to sleep with their rhythmic hum. 

Beauty abounds from every angle as this villa truly stands out among its luxurious peers.

Cushioned between rice paddies to the rear and the glistening expanse of the Indian Ocean in-front, you’d struggle to find a more quintessentially Balinese location than that of Villa Maridadi. Enshrined by tradition on the outskirts of the village of Cemagi, this is true island living. Alongside the black-sand Cemagi beach beset with a charming sea temple, you will get a real flavour of culture from the region. Pedal through the rice fields on one of the villa’s bikes and witness a different way of life.

Once you have found your inner peace in these luxurious surrounds, choose to visit the eclectic town that is Seminyak; a hive of bustling boutiques and renowned restaurants that is guaranteed to set pulses racing. Echo Beach – famed for its lackadaisical surfer vibe – is just 10-minutes by car and offers another sundowner cocktail-location while the popular Jalan Batu Bolong of Canggu offers a host of newly-opened establishments at which to drink, dine and shop.

Five bedrooms set within traditional Balinese lodgings – gentle alang-alang thatched roofs allow the sound of the sea to filter into your bedroom and drift you off to sleep. The super-king master suite is the pinnacle of charm with its ocean-views and private patios offering unbridled sights from its own pavilion surrounds. Two king-sized suites also stand in separate areas and are equally well-appointed, shrouded by teakwood floors, a stone-walled garden and outdoor showers. A final two guest rooms sit in the largest dwelling on the plot – two stories including the media and games rooms, with large twins that can be used as king-sized beds opening into garden bathrooms and open-air showers.

The open-sided pavilions integrate seamlessly with the garden providing spacious dining areas beside the pool, with an in-built Bose sound system providing atmosphere for guests. This looks onto the 20m greenstone pool surrounded by its own wooden terrace, with separate washroom and additional tablespace. 

The perfectly-curated tropical gardens offer the ideal environs for hosting events whilst the Lumbung (rice barn), massage balé and tennis court are just a few of the additional delights that you will find on the property.
