Speakers in the roof are connected to the Bose sound system in the indoor living room.

Conveniently positioned immediately next to the kitchen, and in perfect alignment with the villa’s shrine, the dining room features a high, teak-lined roof and a large square table for 12, crafted in andesite and suar wood. Two terracotta ‘candi’ – replicas from the Majapahit era – take pride of place to one side. Doors slide open to the garden for a semi-open-air dining experience or can be closed for air-conditioned comfort.
Living Room
Linked to the dining room via a transitional space that serves as an entertainment area, the living room features a long narrow skylight in the roof that channels the sunlight, and is furnished with a huge sofa and chaise longue.

A decorative Sumba textile hangs on one wall. Part of the master suite, this versatile room can be used as a cosy home theatre, an office or a small meeting room, complete with WiFi internet connection. The sofa converts to a pair of twin beds, each suitable for a child.

Its central feature is the sparkling 17 x 5 metre swimming pool, which is perfect for swimming laps and has a natural system for water purification and filtration;it is fed by a trio of stone-carved squirrel waterspouts so that guests will be soothed by the sound of water-in-motion.
