Villa Bukit Kaja Kauh A dream has come true in Pemuteran, the north-west part of Bali, where we built our Villa 'Bukit Kaja Kauh'. Hills are right behind the villa and the sea is near by. From the veranda you can look at the swimmingpool (60 sqm) with a partly covered terrace.
The surface of the house is about 300 sqm, so it is rather big. We have two airconditioned master bedrooms with each an open air bathroom. Each bathroom has a shower and two wash-stands. There is space for 2 to 6 people and there is an extra bed for children.
The kitchen is equipped with a coffee cooker, grill-plate, a big fridge, china, tableware and glasses. On the roof is a covered terrace which can be reached through the stairs in the living room. Here you can enjoy a panoramic view with at one side the hills and at the other side the sea. This 'lounge-spot' can also be used as a spare bedroom (3 to 4 persons) by closing the roller blinds.
On the beach there are a few excellent restaurants with international menus. Indonesian food, Thai food and even Greek food is a possibility. One of the best Fusion menus on Bali, can be enjoyed in the close by situated Mata Hari hotel.
There are activities such as horse back riding and snorkling. Wonderful diving spots are to find around the isle of Menjangan. For those who love culture will soon be touched by hindoeism, temples and the diversity of the landscape. It is the authencity of the landscape which makes Pemuteran and its surroundings a very special place to be. |
