Villa Marie

This enchantingly-positioned villa, elevated high above the emerald-green waters of the Indian Ocean, is one part of an exclusive four-villa estate that boasts its own onsite sports and spa facilities, as well as the best views available anywhere on the island. The golden stretch of Pandawa Beach lies below, with its clusters of charming local cafes and restaurants, whilst Villa Marie sits in its own private enclave amidst the splendour that is the Pandawa Cliff Estate.

Centred around a t-shaped swimming pool and surrounded by towering garden walls, each villa has its own patch of privacy alongside ornate balés and open-air living and dining arrangements. The estate is perfectly adapted for event catering, with a troupe of staff on-hand to ensure no detail is missed, so if you’re looking to host a group or seeking an idyllic family hideaway, any one of these splendid properties could be the ideal location for you.

Pandawa Cliff Estate boasts a unique location – set on the southern tip of this island paradise with magnificent views over the wondrous Indian Ocean. You will dine out on the privacy afforded by its exceptional locale, with only a handful of properties offered the privilege of settling in the surrounds. Just a stone's throw from the golden sands below or a short drive to the mesmeric Uluwatu and its towering swells, you have the pick of island life when basing yourself here.

Once suitably relaxed, choose to venture into livelier environments and visit the decadent nightspots of Jimbaran and Nusa Dua – an eclectic range of beach clubs and fine dining that even the most demanding of patrons cannot fail to be impressed by. And with the airport just 30-minutes away, when the dreaded day of departure arrives, at least you have the solace of an easy transfer, if you can be forced to leave.

With a shallow 17m swimming pool as the villa's focal point – the ideal cooling off spot for kids - external barbeques and private terraces, you cannot help but find the ideal spots for daytime repose and evening cocktails. Central living spaces and chill-out spots gaze across the property, making this the ideal set up for any group with younger members.

The luxurious master bedrooms are set within their own private pavilions bordering the pool area; large glass doors offering pool and ocean views. King-sized beds and monstrous flat-screen TVs present the allure of escape should your group become too much, but such is the tranquillity outside that we doubt you will have any issues settling down the masses. Bathrooms house generous bathing facilities that will leave you envious of the offerings. Four guest suites sit in the two-story building to the back of the property, using a delightful timber boardwalk for access. This is a very pretty dwelling with airy living and equally resplendent views.
