Cocooned deep in the heart of Tulamben’s pristine wilderness in the northeastern coast of Bali, is a stunning and stylish 3-bedroom accommodation named Villa Kannaya. Backed by Indonesia’s iconic Mt Agung as its backdrop while bordering the Bali Sea, this tropical villa affords a fully-immersive experience of natural surroundings with luxurious pampering from its facilities and architecture. The neutral shades of its interiors perfectly underscore the vibrant blue and green from the outdoor expanse, while its open-plan and cascading built-up features a sensual blend between the traditional and contemporary that makes the best of its tropical climate, sunshine, and lush greenery.
The well-appointed 3 bedrooms sleep 6 guests, which are all located at the rear of the villa. They are fitted with queen-size beddings, featuring their own ensuite bathrooms, wardrobes and dressers respectively. Designed with floor-to-ceiling glass doors, they afford abundance of sunlight into the rooms, while the bathrooms are fitted with high-end resort-type amenities as well as the highlight element of an egg-shaped white marble bathtub that makes the perfect space for a rejuvenating and luxurious soak after a day outdoors exploring the area.
The outdoors feature an immaculate and well-manicured garden that is located a level below the main living hall, stretching all the way to the coast. It is equipped with a L-shaped pool, a soft green lawn, and a variety of foliage that makes this simply inviting for guests to chill out all day. There are bean bags strewn around the pool side and lounge chairs just next to the ocean should guests want to breathe in some ocean breeze. Underneath a parasol, guests will also find a set of table and chair that has been neatly set-up near the oceanfront that beckons for an afternoon soiree or evening party under the lovely skies.
The interior is defined by the living room furnished with oversized U-shaped lounge chairs which guests can take in the panoramic vistas of the stunning outdoors from the garden to the horizon of the sea beyond. The open-plan design seamlessly integrates the outside with the villa’s inside, enabling guests to enjoy the soothing outdoors even while being indoors. There is a 10-seater dining table for guests just opposite the living hall, while handmade artworks hang across the different corners throughout the property that enliven the spaces and make for great conversational pieces. A contemporary and well-equipped kitchen area is just behind the dining space with a cut-out wall section that adds to the interesting highlights of the villa.
The team of staff will attend to guests’ needs, from the housekeeper to the personal assistant whom guests can count on for any request. Additionally, there are other team members whom guests can ask for, including a driver, a massage therapist, or a personal chef with their services for hire at the villa.
Located on the unspoilt wilderness on the northeastern coast of Bali, guests have a whole amazing area for exploration at their disposal. First up is the popular dive site known as Tulamben shipwreck that is located a mere 5-minutes from the property.
