One of our best selling lines at Lio Collection is our teakwood garden furniture, designed for alfresco living. Teakwood is non-porous and therefore suitable for outdoor use as it can withstand rain. Premium Indonesian teak wood is extremely durable; its high oil content makes it naturally sturdy, and its low coefficient of radial and tangential expansion means that it is less likely to twist, swell, warp or crack under adverse climatic conditions.
The olio resin gives a distinctive odour to the freshly cut wood. Typically golden brown in colour, the texture is uneven and the grain is usually straight. Plantation wood is superior as it is grown for the specific purpose of production. The trees are planted closely, forcing them to grow tall and straight and without too many branches, which makes them ideal for furniture. The grain comes to life with the application of oil, and at Lio Collection we present a choice of finishes. Our practical range of garden furniture is fashioned from solid teak wood, and sometimes mixed with stainless steel. It is designed for terraces, pool decks, and semi-covered areas such as verandahs. The style is modern, relaxed and tropical.
A particularly special piece in our garden furniture collection is the Elverdissen dining table. Its classic design features sleek sophisticated corners of stainless steel, which gleam and merge with solid teakwood. Contemporary and modernist in appearance, this table is of exceptional quality, sourced by a designer with a comprehensive knowledge of timbers and techniques.
With his philosophy of “Customer Satisfaction is always Number One!” Christos V Liokouras has passionately pursued his vision of expanding his furniture domain and became known to customers, manufacturers, importers and exporters alike in the European region as the Rattan and Bamboo king.

A Serene Paradise At Santi Mandala Resort & Spa For Your Bali Villas
Article by Made Dertha
What drive people to choose villas for their holidays? Peace, serene, complete privacy and stay off the beaten track are the main reasons. Villas are situated in the countryside offer beautiful natural landscape around them as well. These tendencies involved the enchanting island of Bali in the late 90s.
The financial crisis in 1997 affected the whole of the Asia Pacific region – people didn’t want to spend money. But Bali had a mini building boom. This was largely thanks to a domestic market that saw the island as a safe haven – people started moving their businesses and families here, buying land and then building on it.
In this sense, the financial crisis played a part in kick-starting the villa movement. Bali’s built environment is changing. From concrete building condominiums-like owing planted tropical gardens to the serene, small resort villas style with its natural and friendly surroundings. It was in the late 90s that the concept really caught on, with a raft of boutique style properties springing up based on private accommodations with their own plunge pools and other amenities.
I worked as a tour guide for many years in Bali, and many guests asked me about places which offer serenity and complete privacy for a very restful vacation. I went around and checked out the island in order to gain a resort or villas which appeal to my guest’s desire. I found some nice resorts or villas are situated either in countryside or at coastal areas.
Many people seized the opportunity of the tourism booming in the 80s and 90s, and business of properties zoomed. Many hotels and villas were built, and one of the excellent hotel resorts is Santi Mandala Resort & Spa.
Santi Mandala Resort & Spa is situated on a secluded place at the bank of Panaraga Giri River makes it an evidence as a peaceful retreat in the natural environment of Batuan, just outskirt Ubud – Bali and just 45 minutes drive from Bali’s Int’l Airport. It’s built in the excellent blend of Balinese traditional architecture and international amenities standard, using most local materials as stones, soft fabrics, precious woods, bamboo and alang alang (the most popular grass for roof construction). There is a very good reason why grass is a favorite material for constructing roofs. It keeps out the tropical heat in a way that genteng (stone tiles) cannot. It also provides excellent protection from the tropical deluges that are common during the rainy season.
You will be amazed by the luxury bath room but in Balinese style and the marbles floor. Each luxurious villa (Garden Villas, Jacuzzi Villas and Private Pool Villas) offers complete privacy with private entrance and gardens and modern comforts as Air Conditioning, Refrigerator, Hot and Cold Water, IDD phone lines, Satellite Television, Personal VCD & CD Player, Radio & Music Cassettes, Personal Mini Bar, Room Service and Complimentary seasonal fruits is provided upon arrival along with daily afternoon tea service, either in the rooms or at poolside.
Guests can enjoyed also the services and facilities of the resort as Restaurant, Swimming Pool, Laundry & Dry Cleaning, 24 hours on call doctor, Shuttle Service to the center of Ubud, Money Changer, Rent Cars, Udaya Art Shop and Gallery, Library, Lila Mandala Open Stage, Saba Mandala Meeting Room and Dirga Saoca Spa. Resort Activities as Jogging & Tracking, Cycling, Yoga and Meditation, Wedding Organizer.
Since few years ago I brought hundreds of guests to Santi Mandala Resort & Spa and they leaved Bali with a very memorable holiday, because they enjoyed the excellent services performed by a strong team of friendly staffs.

Singaraja – Bali’s Historic Dutch Capital
Article by Anwar H
First contact between the Netherlands and Bali took place in 1597 with the arrival of Dutch explorer Cornelis de Houtman who, with his surviving crew of 89 men, promptly proclaimed the island “Young Holland”. There had been sporadic European contacts before and since, but nothing notable until 1846 when the Dutch took control of most of the Indonesian archipelago under the banner of the Dutch East Indies. At this time the port city of Singaraja located in north of the island was chosen as the seat of Dutch power in Bali. The Dutch maintained control over the island from their stronghold of Singaraja in Bali’s northern regency of Buleleng, but were unable to completely subdue the restive southern regions until a series of major military operations in 1906 to 1908.
Today Singaraja bears all the marks of an an old colonial city with wide tree-lined streets and Dutch colonial architecture. In addition to Dutch influences, Singaraja has also been visited by many other naval powers, as is evident from the many Arab and Chinese influences in Singaraja’s old dock district. Singaraja is home to a rare Chinese Buddhist temple, of which only a handful exist in Bali.
In Addition to being one of Bali’s most multicultural cities, Singaraja is an educational centre with two university campuses and is also home to some excellent warungs and restaurants and a traditional market-place seldom visited by Westerners. Another major attraction in Singaraja is the Gedong Kirtya Museum and Library, which hosts ancient Balinese manuscripts and sacred texts on leaves of the lontar palm and a treasure trove of books from the Dutch colonial era.
Situated in Bali’s north shore, Singaraja is a mere 11 kilometres from Lovina Beach, the major tourist base in all of North Bali. The ancient Balinese capital of Singaraja, locally called Lion City, is just one of the many attractions in close proximity to Lovina. Lovina Beach is home to some of the finest hotels and tourist accommodations in north Bali, as well as the site of Lovina Beach Resort, the area’s only five-star beachfront resort.
About the Author
Situated in Bali’s north shore, Lovina is known for its peace, friendliness, beauty and affordability. Among the things to see and do in Lovina are dolphin watching, scuba diving, snorkelling, waterfalls, hot springs, beaches and ancient temples. Ever wanted to own your own slice of tropical paradise?
