Orientated towards the Indian Ocean to capture daily sunset vistas, LaGen Cliff Villa is elevated high above a world-class surf break on a prime piece of landscape near the revered Uluwatu temple. This grand three-level villa residence and venue for wedding celebrations is accessed through a traditional Balinese entrance that belies the luxury that waits beyond. A tropical courtyard creates an ambient environment at the front of the villa with a generous swimming pool, sun-loungers and outdoor dining settings to accommodate small groups. This area is edged in lush foliage, garden lanterns and a pair of thatched pavilions strewn with brightly coloured cushions.
The heart of the villa is a multi-purpose living cum ceremonial space that extends right back to an entire wall dominated by full-length glass doors flanked by two stone columns. A stunning infinity pool is juxtaposed against a background of sea views and cliff top terrain, where couples can exchange their wedding vows before an audience of loved ones. An elegant décor of understated simplicity does not detract from the raw beauty that surrounds this isolated retreat. The room’s masterpiece is a fully restored classic 1915 Yamaha piano that was carefully air-freighted from Japan.
A modern kitchen alcove as well as 5 luxuriously appointed bedroom suites are conveniently located off the main living space. Each suite features an ornate bathroom with separate shower and sunken tub facility to enjoy lavish bathing rituals. Matching wedding suites, both with spiral staircase access to a charming rooftop terrace, are available for the bride and groom to prepare for their nuptials in privacy.
