At the end of a hidden driveway, a few kilometres north of the madness of Seminyak, an antique wooden house rests at the centre of a serene watergarden. Further investigation reveals a secret retreat, a magical sanctuary so romantic, historical and private that if it wasn’t for the modern facilities, you could be mistaken for believing that you had stepped back in time: back more than 100 years, in fact, into the home of a Javanese nobleman. In late 19th century Java, a man’s wealth was determined by the quality of the carvings on the timber wall panels of his house, and Villa Radha, displays many signs of affluence of the time.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. This one-bedroom teakwood house, complete with its raised veranda, luxurious semi open-air bathroom and small kitchenette, is situated within an exceptional rambling garden. Hidden beyond the cascading lotus ponds, behind bougainvillea hedges, is a fantasy world that will appeal to your inner child. A tropical garden created with love. Here, you will find yet more treasures including a swimming pool, ancient spa building, relaxation gazebo, farmer’s pondok (rice field shelter), giant chess set and pétanque court, set against a rice terrace backdrop.

Villa Radha can be rented on its own or in conjunction with any of the other four Dea Villas – Villa Amy (three bedrooms), or Villas Dewi Sri, Sarasvati and Sati (all 4 bedrooms) – offering a total of 16 bedrooms. The five villas share facilities at the Dea Spa: indoor and outdoor treatment areas, a sauna and jacuzzi, as well as a fully-equipped gym, children’s playground and staff service area.

This is a honeymoon haven, a villa for lovers, a place for romance and reading, for outdoor games, massages in the rustic spa, and for relishing afternoon tea, barbeques, or candlelit dinners, chosen from a tempting menu, prepared by an excellent chef and served by your personal butler. Daily breakfast is inclusive, and WiFi internet access is also free of charge.

When you first see the Villa Radha you will be enchanted, as time goes by you will become at one with it, and by the end of your stay you will never want to leave.

The traditional high-peaked teakwood building is approached via a series of uneven natural stepping stones over a lily pond, where it presides over the garden like a floating pavilion. Waterfalls tumble over boulders down to a little bridge, before seemingly flowing into the swimming pool. Five wooden steps lead up to the elevated veranda of this gorgeous one-bedroom house. Sheltered by the roof and offering a beautiful view of the garden, the veranda is furnished with a small table and two rattan planters’ chairs for alfresco dining, as well as a pair of armchairs and a coffee table. The walls feature shuttered peepholes, while bell-jar lanterns hang from the roof casting a soft light in the evenings. The front door opens straight into the all-timber bedroom, which is stunningly furnished with a king-size bed, an antique cupboard, shag pile rug and a modern daybed, complemented by some fascinating antique artefacts. The room is equipped with a 37-inch satellite-channel TV and DVD player (Nintendo Wii is also available), air conditioning, ceiling fan, and iPod speakers. Bevelled glass windows look out over the veranda and a soaring roof seems to extend upwards forever.

A door leads to a small kitchenette with a full-size fridge and two gas hobs for guests who want to do their own cooking. The rustic semi-open-air bathroom spills out into a private walled garden. Sheltered by a pergola roof and with the blessing of a non-slip floor, it is fitted with a hollowed-out river rock bathtub for two, a walk-in rain shower and twin washbasins.

The enchanting garden is divided into several distinct areas, linked by a winding pathway. The free-form swimming pool is located immediately next to the century-old (but air-conditioned) spa building, which is equipped with twin massage beds and characterised by wooden-shuttered windows. The remainder of the garden – complete with gazebo and pondok for outdoor relaxation, as well as the sandy pétanque court and giant chess set – rolls down to merge with Villa Sarasvati next door.

Shared facilities at Dea Villas include: Dea Spa, with massage room, outdoor treatment area, sauna, jacuzzi and showers; a fully-equipped, air-conditioned gym, and a children’s playground with sandpit, Wendy house, swings and slides. Here, parents can relax on cushions within an antique balé while they watch over their kids.
