Tropical Living: Villa Taman, Sanur

It's located at the south end of Bali’s most exclusive district that Forbes Traveler named Sanur Beach as one of ‘the 25 sexiest beaches in the world’: sensuality, sassiness, and scenic beauty. Taman Villa is the perfect private sanctuary with contemporary antique hand-made teak furniture that invites the guests to sit and relax in the blissful lounge; or, partake of the custom designed “chill-out” bar.

The backdrop to the modern kitchen is a 3 meter tall black stone waterfall with a skylight above filtering the ever changing external light. Two of the bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms with custom designed showers and over-size bathtubs each one designed with windows opening to the verdant gardens outside, while the third features an indoor/outdoor poolside shower. Whether you approach the pool through the French doors from the master bedroom, the sliding doors from the poolside bedroom, or along the terrazzo walkway the stylish and private pool setting is one of tropical elegance.

Nearby attractions are the beach itself, famed for its sheltered white sands, Balinese ceremonies and sparkling tidal emerald waters provides a great vista for majestic sunrises. And for those seeking myriad opportunities for water sport: world class kite surfing and wind surfing, para-gliding, snorkeling, scuba, jet ski, and a 6-km long in-laid brick esplanade along the beach is great for early morning jogging, bike rides, or late afternoon strolls.
