The Ylang Ylang

Driving into The Ylang Ylang is fairly breathtaking – large wooden gates open onto an expansive black cobbled turning circle surrounded by walls covered in rich green creepers. At the centre is an imposing black chalice fountain. Six Balinese maidens line the entrance wall with cascading waters jugs filling a fish pond. Enter through the tall black gate posts and ahead is the main house with its 11-metre-high atrium. Towering cream coloured colonnades support the vast rattan-lined roof. Floor-to-ceiling wood doors fold back to reveal a superb 15m swimming pool and the beach beyond. Black and white stone terraces mirror the dark black sands of the beach and the breaking surf of the crashing waves. Rich gold furnishings, brown drapes and dark wood trim enhance a rather regal ambiance.

The black, white and gold theme runs throughout The Ylang Ylang from the deck and balés (gazebos) by the beach through the two beachfront master suites (complete with plunge pools), through to the two queen bedrooms and their respective connecting twin rooms (all ensuite) to the kitchen and study/entertainment room stuffed with DVDs. White sculptures dotted around the manicured lawns and white terrace pebbles offset black sun loungers and matching umbrellas. Gold curtains and cushions lift black and white marble floors throughout. Food is served on gold plates by staff decked out in Oriental-style black jackets. For the food itself, there is a suggestion menu but chef is happy to make to order and will undertake the shopping on guest account for a small fee. Other staff include maids, butlers and 24-hour security under the direction of the villa manager - nine of them in total. The villa also provides a driver and, while airport transfers are included, additional use of the car and driver is charged to guests.

The main house stands two stories tall, with a huge vaulted ceiling, and looks down past the swimming pool and lawns to the beach. The second floor has an outstanding balcony with daybed to look down on the villa grounds and the crashing surf beyond. Within the main villa are the well-equipped – if a little dated – kitchen (not that you will ever need to go in) and a cosy entertainment room with a neat bed/sofa configuration for the whole family to lie back on and enjoy large screen projected movies, of which there are plenty (over 100). In the atrium is a pleasant dining table for 14 and a rather formal seating area, both with great views over the pool and beach.

The six large bedrooms mirror each other in sets of three down either side of the pool. Nearest the beach are the two master suites (one on each side) with a lovely little terrace facing the sea and a plunge Jacuzzi pool. Each has a generous bathroom with a large stone sunken bath and separate shower. These are the only bedrooms with cable TV and DVD players. Running back towards the main house are two queen-bedded rooms which each connect to a twin room via internal sliding double doors. The queen bedrooms have a small sunken bath of stone which doubles as a shower whilst the twins have ensuite showers. There is no TV in these rooms just a simple stereo. All the bedrooms are air conditioned with ceiling fans.

On the lawns are two balés and a small gym including a sauna.
