The Longhouse

A steep driveway, reminiscent of a winding street in a Mediterranean hillside village, brings you to the entrance of this exceptional villa. From here an elevator ascends three floors carrying you to a large open lobby where you are confronted by Bali in her full, majestic, awesome glory. Welcome to The Longhouse!

With its spectacular vantage point on a hill above Jimbaran, this unusually long, three-storey house just soaks up the view. From every room – and from the 60sqm infinity pool, which appears to overflow into the extraordinary scene – Bali’s southern plains are laid out before you like a map upon a dashboard. The narrow isthmus that links the Bukit Peninsula with the rest of the island is clearly visible, with ocean on both sides, extending north past the crescent-shaped Jimbaran Bay along the sunset coast before reaching inland. On a clear day you can see Bali’s chain of volcanoes, from the mighty Mt Agung to the serene Mt Batukaru, stretching towards the distant mountains of East Java. Both sunrise and sunset can be enjoyed from here, and watching distant planes take off and land on the airport runway, which juts out to sea a few kilometres away, can be a unique and mesmerising pastime.

Each bedroom at The Longhouse showcases a lovingly compiled collection of arts, crafts and motifs from the Indonesian islands of Java, Lombok, Sumatra, Sumba and Bali. Combine all of this with gym facilities, a spa room, a home theatre and the unobtrusive service of a team of gentle, efficient staff - including a chef who will personally select the freshest seafood from the excellent local fish market to provide you with a Jimbaran Bay-style feast (food is on guest account) - and you’ll find yourself at the pinnacle of sophisticated elegance and world-class comfort. Ideal for groups of friends or family groups of all ages (the villa will sleep up to 14) The Longhouse, and its captivating setting, is sure to have you promising you’ll soon be back.

Viewing The Longhouse from the top floor, it is easy to see how this long, thin, three-storey villa it got its name. From the lobby a passageway leads to the immaculate, fully-equipped kitchen, which is adjacent to the dining room furnished with a solid teak 14-seater table and fitted with folding glass doors for an alfresco experience. Next is the living pavilion: open-sided, fan-cooled, and with a soaring roof supported by coconut-wood pillars. The infinity pool runs the full length of this pavilion, overhanging the terraced gardens below. The passageway continues to the master suite – the Bali Room. Entered through a private sitting room with sofa, desk and satellite-channel TV, the air conditioned bedroom is simply furnished with a queen-bed. Double doors open onto a small private terrace with a plunge pool, and a corridor leads through to the bathroom with walk-in rain shower and a bathtub with a view to die for. Beyond this, in a private garden, is a bamboo shower.

The other bedrooms are on the middle floor, reached via a staircase from the living pavilion. All five rooms have satellite-channel TVs and are air conditioned. The layout of the Lombok Room is the same as the Bali Room directly above, but without a sitting room or plunge pool. The Sumba Room, with its rustic four-poster bed, is decorated with Sumbanese textiles and objets d’art. It has a narrow balcony and a beautiful onyx bathroom with an ornate mirror, walk-in rain shower and spacious dressing area. The queen-bedded Sumatra Room has a jungle theme and a delightful indoor/outdoor bathroom with rain shower and copper washbasin flanked by a timber deck with a bamboo fence, potted plants and a river-rock bathtub under a pergola roof. The East and West Java Rooms are twin-bedded, mirror versions of each other. Each has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with rain shower. The two rooms share a garden with its own bale (gazebo) as well as a wide hallway furnished with a marble-topped table. The home-theatre, with surround sound, 52-inch TV and DVD player, is also on this floor. The lower level is home to a spa room, a gym and a children's play area complete with toys and games.
