Tropical Garden Compound: Villa Limon - Central Seminyak

Created as the perfect holiday retreat for a family or small group of friends, Villa Limon is a three bedroom property that captures the spirit of tropical living. It is nestled within a garden compound and offers luxury home comforts and a rare sense of privacy. Villa Limon is close to the beach and all the other lifestyle attributes available in Bali’s vibrant district of Seminyak including fine dining restaurants and exclusive shopping outlets.

Villa Limon is a stylish rental accommodation alternative on the spiritual isle of Bali that introduces travellers to an outdoor living experience. An inspiring open design concept bathes all communal areas in natural lighting and embraces the caress of the afternoon sea breeze. The swimming pool, complete with Jacuzzi, is edged by a traditional lounging pavilion for long leisurely days spent soaking up the sun.

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.

Kuta Karnival 2007

The annual Kuta Karnival has opened today on Kuta Beach. The event runs from today, Sept 1st until Sept 9th. The Kuta Karnival started in 2003 as a “Community” and “Recovery” initiative of the Kuta Small Business Association (KSBA) for the island of BALI. This afternoon crowds gathered on sunny Kuta Beach to feel the good vibes and check out what was going on. The Kuta Karnival is really a ‘feel good’ event rather than actually affecting the economy, with many hardworking people contributing to make it happen.

The increased traffic to the beach area will hopefully bring more business to the ladies who patrol selling massages, beads and fruit. Stages have been set up at Kuta Halfway and the beach area will be throbbing tonight with bands and partying beach-goers (90% Balinese locals). This afternoon Kuta lifeguards and surfers took part in a small ceremony and had their boards sprinkled with flowers. The Balinese ladies really have a delightful way about them. Small displays and events happen all over town during the Kuta Karnival, but the 2 best attraction by far are the Balinese dancing displays at the area at the south end of Jl. Pantai Kuta next to the beach and the food court at the north end of Jl. Pantai Kuta. If you are coming to Bali come down to Kuta Beach and check out Kuta Karnival 2007.

Company Profile

With office headquarters in Istana Kuta Galeria; Exotiq Villa Holidays is the newest EXOTIQ division, operating in collaboration with Bali’s well-known and well-established EXOTIQ REAL ESTATE. Exotiq Villa Holidays was conceived to tackle the unmet need for reliable ongoing villa property management caused by the island’s unprecedented growth in new villa development.

The market for brand new villa properties in Bali appears to be growing exponentially, with property price increases running at a rate of roughly 15%-25% per annum. There is general consensus that over the last 3 years the quantity of rental villas in Bali has risen over 50%. Prices are holding and villas are selling, with new villa sales growth expected well into 2008, and possibly beyond.

New villa owners usually live outside of Bali, and make their purchase for investment and vacation reasons. They foresee the need for quality care of their newly purchased property, and just as important, the potential to gain rental revenues through guest bookings for accommodation in villas. Its not surprising that quality property management is considered a required inclusion in nearly all new villa sales agreements.
