Karang Kembar is located on the southernmost tip of Bali in a region known as the Bukit Peninsula – a limestone tableland boasting some of Bali’s most glamorous villas, private estates and internationally-branded boutique hotels. Despite its remoteness, Karang Kembar is only 35 minutes’ drive from the endless shopping, vibrant nightlife and international restaurants of Kuta and Seminyak. A world-class beachside golf course can be found a few kilometres away at Nusa Dua, with another one at the nearby Dreamland Beach complex.The air-conditioned Living & Dining Room is incorporated within a central pavilion, a rectilinear, glass-walled edifice that reflects the grand sense of scale. The dining area presents a dining table for ten with comfy chairs beside which a pair of Javanese statues rest in twin alcoves. A guest washroom is situated adjacent to the dining area.      

The immaculate, designer Kitchen reveals a discriminating taste for functional beauty and cutting-edge style. It is fully equipped with an imported oven and hob, and everything else that the chef needs in order to prepare delicious meals, in accordance with the whims of his guests. A service area with laundry and staff quarters is tucked away out of sight at the back. The garden is comprised of a series of terraced lawns and private grassy courtyards linked by steps of Indian slate. A dramatic central feature is the elevated, 21 x 5 metre, infinity-edge lap pool, which is lined with green Java stone and bordered on two sides by a large ironwood deck. Furnished with a teak table for alfresco dining, and teak sunloungers, the view from this spot, across the cliff, is breathtaking.  The velvety lawns are dotted with frangipani trees, while bougainvillea cascades over the garden wall. There is also an outdoor pool shower.  Parking is available at the entrance to the villa and guests are granted use of the exclusive Karang Kembar Beach Club.
