With panoramic views over luxuriant rice paddies stretching to the
Indian Ocean, Villa Mandalay provides a lavish, exotic hideaway in
Tabanan, on Bali’s scenic south-west coast. With
the option of renting from six to seven bedrooms, this spacious
villa provides ample space for families and small groups. Sweeping
lawns fringed by lush tropical gardens framing a picturesque
backdrop also make Mandalay ideal for wedding parties. Friendly and
professional staff are on hand to welcome you, while highlights
include a 25-metre swimming pool, charming
‘pitch and putt’ golf course,
sauna, extensive a la carte menu, membership of the prestigious
Canggu Club, and complimentary car and driver.
Rooms
The villa’s tranquil setting is enhanced by a
perfectly balanced contemporary design, with 25 metres of
green-stone-tiled swimming pool creating a magnificent focal point.
Buildings of creamy stone, with ironwood shingle roofs and rich
dark timber accents, provide luxurious living and sleeping areas
for up to 14 people. An enchanting bamboo pavilion set in water
gardens grants unobstructed views and creates an atmospheric
setting for casual breakfasts, sunset cocktails and candlelit
dinners. Tropical gardens filled with frangipani, cala lilies and
heliconia add swathes of colour, while lively fish ponds complement
the tropical scenery. All bedrooms are air conditioned, with
ceiling fans, king-size beds furnished with crisp white linens and
flat-screen TV’s with DVD players. Walk-through
dressing rooms lead to stately ensuite bathrooms tiled in grey
andesite stone, with twin vanities (except for the studio),
statue-filled alcoves and customised amenities.
Restaurant & Food
Chef Alit is at your service to prepare daily breakfast, lunch and
dinner. Villa Mandalay offers an extensive a la carte menu of
delicious meals featuring Asian and Western dishes to cater to all
tastes, with an excellent selection of vegetarian and
children’s options. Make sure to try the pepes
ikan (fish steamed in banana leaf) and the bebek betutu (a Balinese
specialty of duck cooked in herbs). Chef Alit can also grill up a
feast of fresh seafood on the barbecue, and tailor meals to
accommodate any special dietary requirements or specific
requests.
Activities & Sport
Villa Mandalay has its own Finnish-style sauna, which can be
perfectly followed by a body scrub or massage; just ask our staff
to bring the spa to you! We can recommend deluxe treatments carried
out in the privacy of your own villa by fully trained therapists
from a reputable local spa (extra charges will apply). Golf
enthusiasts will love the six-tee ‘pitch and
putt’ golf course set into the lower gardens,
and the villa’s proximity to the
multi-award-winning Nirwana Bali Golf Course, which hugs the rocky
coastline, offering stunning views over the venerated sea temple of
Tanah Lot. Those wanting to relax can take a leisurely stroll to
the glistening black-sand beach at Seseh, soak up the warmth of the
Finnish-style sauna, or enjoy a soothing massage in the garden bale
(pavilion) provided by a skilled therapist from a reputable local
spa.
