The Istana (5br)

The Istana is Bali’s newest private luxury villa. With a name that translates as ‘palace’, it manages to fulfill that in every dimension. Set atop a dramatic Indian Ocean clifftop and neighbouring the revered cliff-side temple of Uluwatu, it is in view of one of the best surf breaks in the world.

Five double suites, a spacious living and relaxation area, two swimming pools, a clifftop relaxation bale, spacious manicured grounds, towering cathedral ceilings and rich teakwood elements are just a few of the highlights of this unique property. The Istana is for those who appreciate pure indulgence.

The Istana resides on a southwestern tip of Bali, Indonesia, in an area named The Bukit. This five suite estate overlooks white sand beaches and a lagoon abundant with sea life and coral, and at night, magical sunsets. When the trade winds blow, a massive swell crashes onto the surrounding reef, crafting waves that attract worldwide surfing attention; the breaks are rated fifth best in the world. Uluwatu beach is only a ten minute walk from the villa.

With the property located nearby the holy Pura Uluwatu, one of Bali’s nine mother temples, the site’s spiritual energy is experienced as a feeling of complete serenity.

The elements of The Istana are uniquely blended to worship the heritage of it’s powerful and awe-inspiring location. The house unifies modern and antique, European influence with an Oriental focus on style, serenity and detail. The abundant use of earthy materials such as rich teak and ironwood compliment this mix and merge the building with the landscape, lush flora and transcendent view. The artwork represents a mixture of Indonesian primitive art and antiques to highlight the tradition and feel of the villa’s aura.

The main house hosts a living space, dining room, entertainment area (the Dotcom room), and four identical bedroom suites. A separate guest house comprises the master suite. Both buildings are single-story and open-air, inspiring a natural ambiance while accentuating the breathtaking view. With an extensive staff providing a level of service unrivaled outside of a luxury hotel, restaurant standard food, a full time manager, butlers and chauffeur – all devoted to facilitating intimate service amongst private splendor – there is no parallel.

The Istana offers a standard of privacy that exceeds hotel levels. Staff are specially trained to be discreet and to provide guests with the utmost in privacy. Staff will never disturb guests while they are in their room, and will always consult before entering rooms to clean. It is not uncommon for guests to prefer complete privacy during the length or a part of their stay, and should this be the case, the villa manager will gladly arrange.
