Heavenly Residence – Cliff Front Luxury Villa in Nusa Dua
Article by Florens Yessica
What is your idea of HEAVEN? Do you imagine peace and tranquility with a sparkle of romance?Now, imagine a place where all you can see within your sights is endless blue sky and crisp blue ocean.
Heavenly Residence
Perched on the cliff tops of Nusa Dua hills, Heavenly Residence is a collection of 3 privately owned villas, referred to as “the millionaire’s row of Bali.” The villas are just a 5 minute drive from the world renowned Nusa Dua Golf Club, but yet with barely a neighbor in site, you feel as if you are in your own private paradise, millions of miles from anywhere.
In the coming years, this will change due to the construction of seven 5* hotels in the vicinity. These hotels will be an extension of the present Nusa Dua hotel complex, the complex housing virtually all of the famous hotels.
Heavenly Residence is unique for both its’ situation, and its’ facilities. Firstly, it is a private villa residence as opposed to a hotel. The quality, furnishings, amenities and services however are often superior to those found in an International hotel or resort in Bali.
The situation is entirely unique, perched on the cliff edge, and it is difficult to visualize how the villa was actually constructed and where the concept came from. The villas go unnoticed from ground level, but are spectacular when viewed from the ocean. The result, unbeatable privacy combined with breathtaking views.
The Luxury Villas
VILLA “Oh my God”
With 4 bedrooms, this is the largest villa at Heavenly Residence. The villa is an architectural masterpiece which took over 18 months to build, with steps cascading down the cliff edge. The villa has been named OMG “Oh my God” as a result of the initial reaction of visitors on arrival, and their pure amazement. Not surprising considering the villa is 700 sq m (7,534 sq ft) and all that you can see on arrival is the endless Indian Ocean, with 180 degree panoramic views. the villa also boasts a 25m long infinity pool, with the water lapping over the cliff edge out to sea. The jacuzzi provides the perfect vantage point from where to relax and lap up your surroundings, watching the sea meet the horizon.
By the poolside, the villa boasts an ironwood sun deck and lawns, with equally spectacular views. The Villa has a capacity for up to 50 people, what could be a more perfect setting for a wedding, or glamorous event.The interior of “Oh my God” is equally stunning, with marble flooring and woven sea grass furniture. The villa is divided into what could be described as zones, each zone being identified by a varying clour of Thai silk. The games room for example is bronze, dining is charcoal, and lounge room blue.
The exotic villa also contains touches of Balinese culture, such as a 6m long abstract canvas in the lounge room, form Wayan Gabrig, a local artist.The white washed walls of the dining room remind us of the cliff edge on which we are set, accentuating the unique location of Heavenly Residence, the tropical coral fish tank bringing the ocean indoors to us.All four bedrooms are en-suite, marble furnished, and with Grohe taps and shower heads. A vast amount of mirrors are in place throughout the residence, giving an air of palatial spaciousness, as well as sea view from all possible angles.
Villa “O-WOW”
The second property does not lack the “wow” factor either, named again by the sheer amazement of guests on arrival. The villa is entered by a private lift from the underground car park that climbs the cliff face, and opens directly onto the garden. Style wise, it is more Javanese, with Borobudur- inspired lighting and carvings. The villa is again immense. 600 sq m ( 6,458 sq ft) and is equally as spacious as “Oh my God”
The design is a modern and minimalist interpretation of a Balinese compound, housing 3 bedrooms, all en suite, a studio – office, and in the landscaped grounds a pavilion can be found. As at “Oh my God” we find an infinity pool, with spectacular views, what better place to enjoy a cold drink, whilst “floating on the horizon”. Villa “Oh Wow” is ideal for two or three highly classed and educated couples to share.
Villa “O-La-La”
Villa “Oh-La-La is the smallest of the 3 villas, with three bedrooms, but as equally luxurious as the other two. With its’ own infinity pool, and magnificent gardens, the once again amazing views, this villa certainly can be described as heavenly.
All of the villas have infinity views, providing an almost optical illusion as to where the water changes from pool to ocean. and two of the villa also boast heated Jacuzzis and water-falls.
