As part of the Ayanna Complex amid Canggu’s expansive rice fields, Villa Alocasia is a beautiful four-bedroom holiday resort with sprawling gardens that have been manicured and are well taken care of. The modern holiday home brings in elements from across Asia as well as the addition of a German-designed kitchen. There are Japanese interiors, Balinese architecture, and other accents that add character to the space. The villa is surrounded by rice fields in the Padang Linjong region that is essentially a serene and peaceful part of Canggu that still remains as one of the few preserved places in town.
The upper level at Villa Alocasia is where you will find all the four bedrooms; the master bedroom is in the front while the remaining three are nestled towards the back of the villa right off the gym. The hallway has been designed with antiques and art pieces; you will find several walls lined with selective artwork commissioned by designers. The master bedroom is furnished with a king-sized bed while the others feature a mix of both king and queen-sized beds.
There is an L-shaped balcony that runs along the bedrooms to offer you a place where you can enjoy a hot cup of tea while relishing the fresh air and scenic views. Each bedroom comes with an en-suite bathroom as well with rain-shower for a complete tropical experience.
The beautiful landscape of the villa is not short of being scenic itself as there is a reverential Ganesha statue amid a lily pond and water fountain, stone pathways that lead up to the main pavilions, and plenty of lush foliage including tropical plants and trees. There is a lavish swimming pool wherein you can enjoy a refreshing dip after which relaxing on the sun chairs to soak up some sun would be a great idea. There is a Balinese bale for an unplanned nap especially after a delicious and filling meal.
Right beside the pool deck is the main living area at Villa Alocasia, a proponent of indoor/outdoor living with glass doors that can remain open for ample fresh air and of course, abundant natural light throughout the day. The minimal design owing to pristine white walls and white furnishings is accentuated by the rich, wooden pool deck and luscious greenery outdoors. The air-conditioned room is fitted with modern comforts such as a flat-screen TV, surround sound and a DVD player. Lounge and relax on the sofa while watching your favourite TV show or enjoy peaceful moments with loved ones.
Designed exclusively for the villa is the prized German dual kitchen with a hot kitchen as well in case you wish to showcase your culinary expertise. There is an indoor dining area with a solid wooden dining table so you can relish your meals in style. The fully-equipped kitchen even has a breakfast bar so you can enjoy a quick bite or a few drinks. For the use of guests, the top floor is equipped with a multi-purpose, air-conditioned gym fitted fitness machines and other amenities.
