Embracing a prime piece of riverside landscape in the tranquil village of Canggu, Villa Kotak is an exclusive new property that takes contemporary design in Bali to brave new heights. Made up of just two interconnecting villa compounds, the entire complex has been built to defy the island’s traditional design elements by creating a stark look that transcends international boundaries.

With flat roof tops, clean symmetrical lines and an exterior colour combination of cappuccino and cool grey, Villa Kotak is a complex reminiscent of a sleek industrial loft space cum secured residence. Every effort has been undertaken to ensure optimal guest satisfaction with modern home comforts and conveniences. A service kitchen at the front entrance of the property is where staff members organize breakfast and other meals on request.

As a 5 bedroom rental alternative, Villa Kotak features a pair of interconnecting compounds to comfortably accommodate the needs of up to 10 adult guests. This contemporary styled complex, with a choice of pools and ample outdoor space for social gatherings, ventures beyond all preconceived travel expectations. Villa Kotak has been designed as a modern retreat surrounded by the attributes of nature to replenish the body and spirit from the effects of a hectic lifestyle.

This innovative two bedroom villa has been created to anticipate the needs of the savvy traveller who is making a conscious effort to venture beyond the Balinese cliché of traditionally thatched dwellings and swaying coconut palms. Designed with a touch of urban sophistication, Villa Kotak offers a unique retreat to kick back and totally relax.

Architecturally this villa is a plain structure with a flat roof void of all unnecessary decorative clutter. It is accessed via a private walkway that leads into an oversized doorway guarded by a pair of stone carvings. The main living space incorporates a dining area and compact kitchenette for the preparation of light refreshments. Customized furnishings upon a floor of polished concrete contribute to an overall look that is simple and unpretentious.

Matching bedroom suites on opposite ends of the villa are orientated towards the pool with glass sliding doors for convenient outdoor access. Both rooms have been designed to cater to the privacy of adult guests by featuring modern en-suite bathroom facilities and plenty of storage for personal belongings.

The outdoor environment is almost entirely taken up by a full length swimming pool that is surrounded by a timber deck and shady pergola. A single palm tree with giant leaves fanning out like an exotic bird spreading its wings is strategically placed to add a vibrant touch of greenery. A side door in the fence connects both villas for friends and family members travelling together, but also locks securely for private time alone when it is required.

This generously appointed three bedroom villa makes a bold statement in contemporary design and is a complete contrast to the surrounding environment of tropical countryside and indigenous flora. The compound borders onto a small flowing river and offers uninterrupted views over nearby rice terraces. The main structural body of this villa is a proportionally shaped wing that is accessed by a narrow entrance way and leads directly into an integrated living/dining space complete with compact kitchenette. Visually this area conveys a sense of strength and features a minimalist décor that incorporates a modular lounge in rich creamy fabric, floors of polished concrete and a quirky collection of decorative arts.

Double bedrooms are positioned at either side of the main living quarters to overlook the pool and garden. Air-conditioned for nights of restful slumber, both bedrooms feature tasteful furnishings in dark timber and include a personal en-suite bathroom facility with open-style cubicles in lieu of his/her wardrobe space. The Master Suite is an individual flat roofed structure that stands alone at the end of the garden for total privacy. A large picture window exposes this setting to a backdrop of pure nature and allows warm rays of sunlight to filter through. Ample storage space and a modern en-suite bathroom with rain shower complete this adult retreat. A manicured garden sparsely planted with palms and frangipani trees is spread over two tiers and dominated by an elongated infinity pool and an impressive timber deck. This sizeable outdoor space lends itself to long leisurely hours soaking up the sun and alfresco wining and dining under the stars.
