A steep hillside flanking a crescent-shaped valley on Bali’s southwest tip, offers an almost absurdly beautiful setting to build a house. The point where the thickly wooded gorge gently curves, and the view opens up to reveal the white capped surf of the Indian Ocean and a glimpse of Mt Batukau, is even more magical. Across the valley, broad canopied acacia, fig trees, kapok and bean trees mingle with stunted bush. Multi-levelled and towering high above the treetops, with a 360-degree panoramic vista, is the glass-sided edifice known as Moonlight Villa.
This really is a dream home-away-from-home in a remarkable location. Moonlight Villa was conceived, built and furnished with love. The modern architecture, complemented by home comforts – everything from jacuzzi bathtubs to a home theatre and electronic games – promise reassuring familiarity, complete with a ‘family’ of 10 caring staff who are on hand to shop for groceries, prepare and serve delicious meals, arrange day trips and turn down beds.
The architecture optimises the sheer landsite, while the glass walls and lofty height of the building maximise the views. Moonlight Villa has four bedrooms, each complete with a glamorous ensuite bathroom; plus two living rooms, a feature kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining areas, a rooftop stargazing terrace and another terrace perfect for entertaining. This refreshingly different and very homely villa is complemented by terraced gardens full of flowers, trees hung with pots of rare orchids, ponds, water features, and a 15m swimming pool complete with a large and super-comfortable pool lounge and bar. Also located poolside is a smooth velvety lawn, an ideal setting for parties and small weddings.
Moonlight Villa is a place to lose oneself. By day the rooftop terrace is a sunny lounge and a great lookout for spotting sea eagles and kingfishers, as well as monkeys in the wooded valley below. By night, when the stars are shining and the moon is full, it is easy to understand how this magical dream home got its name.
