Villa Lataliana Two

The bucolic Villa LataLiana Two is a capacious two-bedroom dwelling that spans two striking pavilions – The Water Palace and The Rice House. Part of the wider LataLiana Estate, this oasis of calm just a few hundred metres from the bouncing hotspot of Seminyak has attracted the top echelons of the jet-set thanks to its idyllic aura as much as its palatial splendour. A picturesque destination for small family groups or couples seeking sanctuary, enjoy ultimate luxury and five-star service at the hands of the dedicated on-site staff.

A tranquil free-form pool sits at the heart of the structure and creates a serene atmosphere that spreads throughout the peaceful villa; generous living and dining space ensures groups can enjoy conviviality as much as exclusivity; and a contemporary interior design rounds of the sense of opulence through lavish spreads coupled with an Asian flair.

For the discerning vacationer who knows what they seek, there is no more sublime a setting than the luxurious LataLiana Two.

Within a heartbeat of Seminyak, which lies just 250m down a secluded sandy track, yet completely removed from the real world, there are few more pristine locations than Villa LataLiana Two. Whether seeking respite from the travails of modern-day living, or searching for the ebullience of Bali, this is the locale. Top-end restaurants, deluxe beach clubs and specialist surf schools all await in proximity – and as days draw to an end, spellbinding sunsets are within a hair’s breadth.

Just five-minutes’ walk and discover the delights of Chez Gado Gado or La Plancha, or stroll fifteen minutes north and stumble upon the heady surrounds of Ku De Ta and Potato Head beach clubs – world-renowned establishments that draw in the trendsetters. La Lucciola is a fine-dining favourite, while for those seeking a dose of originality, Echo Beach is a progressive bar scene and a mere 30-minute drive – simplicity itself thanks to the on-call chauffeur service.

The Water Palace and The Rice House are the two pristine pavilions that make up Villa LataLiana Two – regal offerings to indulge the highest of expectations: deluxe mattresses encased in 1,000 thread count linens, down or foam pillows, black-out curtains and flat-screen TV’s with an endless selection of satellite or DVD options, recline to the grandeur of your surrounds.

The Water Palace sits behind arcing French doors that face the swimming pool – a grandiose master suite with king-sized bed and opulent furnishings that were made from the remnants of the Phinisi schooner to bring a flash of heritage to the environs. The lavish ensuite includes marble floors with his-and-her wash basins, an oversize bathtub as well as a walk-in shower, plus one open-side that is flush with privacy yet adds an air of exclusivity.

The Rice House is perfectly adapted to younger travellers or betrothed couples with a convertible king-sized bed and an additional double bed set into an enclave up a timber stairwell; the mezzanine floats above with two sofas that can be converted to single beds to offer a sanctuary of retreat or the seamless setting for familial escape. Extending through a glass frontage onto a veranda, slip onto a plantation chair and indulge in the awe-inspiring pool and garden view. The ensuite lies downstairs with its open-air rain shower; the addition of a private kitchen and mini-bar allowing quiet gatherings around the deluxe daybed that neighbours the pool. With the option of renting The Floating Annexe, larger groups also have access to a third bedroom, should the need arise.

Expansive living and dining is offered by The Water Palace – four distinct areas for any manner of activity or time out. An inviting sofa ensures no day is too stressful, while an elegant hardwood table offers maximum space for eight to socialise. A full-size pool table is a playful delight and the large dining space a banqueter’s dream – its proximity to the commercially-equipped kitchen allowing evenings of indulgent revelry.

The outside includes generous pool-side decking adorned with myriad sun-loungers and partially shaded areas as sunlight filters through the bamboo roof, as well as an additional space for quiet retreat surrounded by an ageless frangipani. A day-bed accommodates up to four and is the picture-perfect tea or cocktail spot, while kids love the soft mattress for daily frivolities in the shade. The walled-garden is immaculately private and creates an oasis of calm - little would one know the allure of Seminyak lies just a skip away.

An elegantly quaint property that sits just 250m from the most happening district in Bali, it is little wonder that the LataLiana Villas count royalty and celebrity among their regular guests. Two capacious living spaces stretch around at 17m swimming pool, a generous dining table accommodates up to eight, and two lavishly designed master suites ensure the most tranquil night’s sleep one could ever image.

The ultimate beach-side sanctuary, Villa LataLiana Two includes a team of expertly trained staff who will unveil banquets of magisterial splendour, spa treatments of unimaginable delight and a top-level butler service to allow guests to sit back and indulge in the most luxuriant of holiday escapes. Within the confines of the estate, families rest assured of the safety of their loved ones, and for those seeking livelier affairs, the best of Bali’s beach clubs are almost within earshot.
