Perched on the cliffs of Uluwatu overlooking the magnificent Indian Ocean, Villa Istana Bali has created an oasis on the tip of Southern Bali.
Despite the dominating limestone-landscape that gives
the area a dry look, within the walls of the Istana it is a true
paradise.
Once you enter the gates of the Istana, meaning "Palace" in
Indonesian you'll never want to leave again. It's definitely one of the ultimate private Bali accomodations on the whole island.
This villa in Uluwatu is massive and has all the facilities to provide
anything
you wish. With sufficient number of rooms to equip at least 10 adults,
the Istana
is perfect for families, large gatherings of friends and venues.

But most of all, this is definitely the place you should share with family and close friends during one of the most memorable days of your life: your wedding.
Believe me, saying 'I do' at Villa Istana will not only
be an unforgettable event for you but for everybody else too!
Could you think of a more romantic place than having your wedding ceremony by sunset, on a cliff facing the Indian Ocean...??

And
on top of that, while you enjoy your day the professional trained staff
will ensure that the whole event goes smoothly and that everybody
will relish the day with quality beverages and top cuisine.
But hey, if a wedding in Bali is not in your plans you don't need an
excuse to just give a spectacular
party at Villa Istana Bali too...
Once you pass the gates and enter the Villa Istana Bali you will be greeted by friendly Balinese staff who will ensure that your expectations are met and probably exceeded.
The team of staff consists of a live-in manager, two chefs, three butlers, housekeeping and security. So as you can tell you don't have to look for help, it will be there 24/7.

As soon you are in the villa you
will find yourself in a large living area with a gorgeous view on the
long infinity pool and the never ending horizon. It is really
spectacular, especially at sunset.
While you enjoy the view, the staff
can prepare cocktails, champagne or other drinks at the fully equipped
bar.
Besides
the
living area, the whole villa
is beautifully designed. You will
immediately notice that the owner has taken much care in the
design and
accessories.
Everything is perfectly matched and the Indonesian
antique, which is elegantly placed around the villa is with no
doubt
impressive.

As
you can expect the cuisine served at the Villa Istana Bali is of high
quality. In the professionally designed kitchen the international experienced
chefs are able to
prepare exquisite Western and Asian dishes from their in-house menu.
The kitchen even has a big
espresso machine so you can have any type of coffee you can imagine.
Start your day with a cappucino while ending it with a
delicious Irish coffee...

Delicious and special dinners take place here...
When needed, the chefs
are also able to prepare other menus on request that suits your
dietary needs more. It's all up to you...
It is also possible to hold wonderful
dinner parties at the Istana as well. The
modern air conditioned dining room is equipped for 10 people.
And if
you don't want to miss out on the fresh tropical breeze then it is
possible to open the
windows too.
If you feel
like just lazing around you can head to the 'Dotroom'. This room is a luxurious
movie room where you can use the Internet, listen to music
or
check out some movies on the wide-screen projection TV.

Fully relax in the movie room...
Another place where you will probably spending a lot of time is the Bale. Here you'll have front row seats on stunning views over the cliffs and Indian ocean while relaxing on the comfortable seating.
If lucky you
will even see surfers taking the high waves that Uluwatu is famous for.
I won't be surprised if you just spend the whole day here gazing over
the ocean and watching
the Uluwatu sunset...

Check out the bale; it has stunning views...
If
requested, the chefs at Villa Istana Bali can prepare a Barbecue feast
at
the Bale while you, your family or friends enjoy
dinner
seated on the floor; Japanese style.
Don't worry, there is a space under the table where you can stretch
your legs so you don't have to sit cross legged the entire evening.
Comfort is always top priority here...

Lunch and dinner can be served in the bale too...
Besides
all the facilities at villa Istana Bali that I have described so far,
there remains the suites
and bathrooms of course. Well, these are worth a closer look too as
they
are just as fancy as the entire villa.
First of all, in the main building of the villa there are 4 classy
designed suites, two facing the ocean and 2
with garden view. The interior is quite similar and all have an elegant
character.

The bathrooms are also equipped for two people so you can easily do your morning rituals without disturbing one another. Besides a wonderful bath, there is a separate shower as well.
On top of that, all bathrooms have two washing basins, so no waiting here either.


The bathroom in the bedroom suite
Don't forget to glance outside when taking a bath so you can take in the tropical setting. Or better yet, step outside and take a shower in the outdoor shower...
Besides the four suites in the main villa, there is also a Master
Bedroom Villa right next to the main building.

The Main
bedroom villa located next to the main
building
This smaller villa has its own private facilities as well such as a stunning pool surrounding the building, a kitchenette, huge bedroom connected with a bathroom and living area.
Just as the main villa building, this Master Bedroom Villa is beautifully furnished and designed.

The master bedroom has it's own pool
The private pool of the Master bedroom villa is a beautifully dark colored and made out of volcanic rock. Inside there is a beautiful seating area with chairs in which you can lounge away all day.
On top of that the villa is equipped with all the modern audio equipment and a rotating TV so you can watch your favorite movie anywhere in the room...

The Master bedroom...
The Master bedroom is ideal
for couples or newly weds who want to enjoy
a romantic night together while the rest of the guests enjoy
themselves in the main villa building.
The massive bathroom in this villa also has a bath that can be
beautifully decorated with flowers
and candles and seems to be created
for one purpose only: romance...

Big enough for two..
The Master Bedroom Villa also has it's own private entrance. This entrance also leads you to an additional sleeping area and children play room that is a paradise for any kid.
If
needed, nanny's
or other staff that accompany the guests can stay in this section of
the villa that have their own facilities and kitchen.
This sleeping area doesn't have to be used by nanny's or staff though,
it
is a great option for guests too. Ideal when there are more guests
staying then suites available at the villa.
As you can tell I'm
definitely hooked on Villa Istana Bali. It is a
villa that offers everything you can wish for. Not only is the setting
gorgeous and the facilities in abundance, but the service is just top
class.

I can't resist one last picture...
The whole Villa Istana Bali complex has also just been renovated and the management is still improving their service and facilities every day. For now, the biggest changes will be a in-house spa building.
Currently spa treatments are possible in the villa itself,
but in the future there will be a separate building.
So I expect that this additional feature will be just be as impressive
and luxurious as everything else in Villa Istana.
At least it
gives me a perfect excuse to head back to check out the new changes at
this exclusive villa.
