Category: 5 Bedroom Villas Villa Jembar Lawang
is completely encompassed by emerald rice fields and is situated just a
few minutes walk from the rugged beach at the ancient fishing village
of Canggu on Bali’s west coast. Built on 3,200 square metres of land,
the property can sleep up to five couples, with five bedrooms. The
villa was designed by the acclaimed Balinese architect Popo Danes, who
was recently honoured with the ‘Indonesian Institute of Architect’
award for his efforts in promoting contemporary Balinese architecture
in its proper way.
The style of the villa is contemporary and elegant; a group of eight or ten people can stay at the house, very comfortably, without encroaching on each others’ space. It was specifically designed to maximise the wonderful panoramic views, and offers the ultimate in private luxury for those who seek tranquillity combined with a high standard of service. Jembar Lawang means “large open door or gate” in the Javanese language. It is an indirect expression for “warm welcome”, which is substantiated by the antique statues of a Javanese wedding couple, waiting to welcome the guests as they step over the threshold. Indeed, guests entering the property for the first time, as they cross over a small ornamental pond, will have no idea what to expect behind the large front door. They will be surprised when they find that the doorway leads into a magnificent, semi-circular, open living area supported by towering Romanesque columns and harmonised by a cool terracotta tiled floor. Looking out over the flat green lawn and furnished with antique daybeds, a large dining table, and low antique retro tables, this is an ideal place for relaxing or socialising; perfect for a party, a reception or a lazy lunch. This imposing living area is the main focus of the property and is flanked on either side by corresponding two-storey wings, which accommodate the bedroom suites, the library, the entertainment room, two additional ground floor shower rooms, the kitchen and the laundry. There are four double bedrooms and a twin single bedroom, boasting
spacious en-suite terrazzo bathrooms. The light and airy bedrooms also
feature built-in wardrobes, chunky antique furniture, timber floors,
picture windows and large sliding glass doors. One of the bedrooms has
a romantic four-poster bed. The downstairs bedrooms are each
complemented by a terrace overlooking the garden, and two of the three
upstairs bedrooms each feature a large stone balcony with an attractive
balustrade, furnished with daybeds and enhanced by pots of
bougainvillea and stunning views of the rice fields. Each of the
en-suite bathrooms with its terrazzo fixtures, has its own distinct
characteristics; some of the bathrooms are entered by stepping through
beautiful old wooden doors and feature slate paved floors, bathtubs,
and ‘his and hers’ washbasins; others feature open-air garden showers
surrounded by pebbles and plants, another displays a carved white
Palimanan stone frieze on the exterior wall. 
The peaceful, coastal village of Canggu is set within a beautiful agricultural region located between Kuta and Tanah Lot. The area is home to some of the most luxurious private villas on the island, and is situated forty minutes from Bali’s International Airport and fifteen minutes from one of the best golf courses in Asia. Remarkably laidback and undeveloped, this out of town setting offers the double attraction of being relatively close to everything that guests might need, while also offering visitors a privileged insight into the traditions of rural Bali. The local population make their living from fishing and farming; ducks are herded through the rice fields, the sound of gamelan music is carried on the breeze, and religious ceremonies are an integral part of daily life. The sweeping beach is renowned for its panoramic coastline views and legendary sunsets. It has some world-class surf breaks but the currents are strong and it is dangerous for swimming. The trendy Seminyak area, a mere twenty minutes drive away, offers wide choice of international restaurants, chic cocktail bars, exciting nightclubs, lavish spas and elegant shops. The nearby Nirwana Golf Course, designed by Greg Norman, is close to the famous Tanah Lot sea temple – one of the island’s most dramatic and venerated temples, perched on a craggy wave-lashed rock just at the edge of the frothing white surf and glistening black shoreline. Guests staying at Villa Jembar Lawang will also enjoy Hotel Tugu, situated a few minutes walk away, beside the beach at Canggu. The hotel is a living museum of priceless antiques and rare cultural artefacts, and it also offers the attractions of fine dining together with the facilities of a delightful spa.
