The at Echo Beach Villa
Another Villa at Canggu
4 Bedroom - Price : Low USD 660+ | High USD 770+ | Peak USD 990+
LOCATION
The 4 bedrooms Villa at Echo Beach is located in the fishing village
of Canggu, home to some of the most impressive villas on the island,
and offers the double attraction of being close to the shops and
restaurants of Seminyak, while also presenting a fascinating insight
into the traditions of rural Bali. Cows are herded through the fields,
rice is planted and harvested throughout year, and the sound of ritual
music is carried on the breeze.
The Beach House Restaurant, on the beach 150 metres away, is the
place where the local community gathers in the evenings to watch the
legendary sunsets.
Tables spill out onto a beachside bluff where you can enjoy a
comprehensive international menu, together with a daily barbeque of
fresh fish, lobster, giant prawns, clams, steaks, kebabs etc. Live
music, performed by accomplished local bands, takes place on Sunday
evenings, starting at around sunset. This is a great social scene, it
can get very busy and lively, and the smaller local warungs (eateries)
beside the Beach House, accommodate the overflow of customers.
The rugged beach is renowned for its world-class surf breaks,
offering an exposed reef break with consistent surf. May to October (dry
season) is the favoured time for waves. Reef breaks provide lefts and
rights—in fact, Canggu presents one of the few right-hand waves on the
west coast of Bali.
The trendy Seminyak area, with its wide choice of international
restaurants―including the famous ‘Ku Dé Ta’, ‘Kafé Warisan’, ‘Living
Room’, ‘Hu’u’, ‘La Lucciola’ and ‘Sarong’―together with a plethora of
chic cocktail bars, exciting nightclubs, lavish spas and elegant
boutiques, is 25 minutes’ drive away.
The location offers easy access up to the mountains and rice
terraces on the western slopes of the island; it is one hour’s drive
from the famous cultural and artistic town of Ubud, and just 25 minutes’
drive from the Sunset Route, gateway to the eastern side of the island.
It is also convenient for all of Bali’s shopping malls and main tourist
attractions.
The international airport is 45 minutes’ drive. The nearby Greg
Norman designed ‘Nirwana Bali Golf Course’ is just 15 minutes away by
car, and is situated beside the dramatic, waved-lashed sea temple of
Tanah Lot. For horse lovers, the ‘Umalas Equestrian Centre’ is just an
easy drive away.
Guests staying at the villa may also enjoy visiting Hotel Tugu,
situated within easy walking distance beside the beach at Canggu. The
hotel is a living museum of priceless antiques and rare cultural
artefacts, and it also offers the attractions of fine dining together
with the facilities of an enchanting spa.
The Villa at Echo Beach is situated just a small walk from Echo
Beach, a fishing village of Canggu on Bali’s south west coast. This four
bedroom, contemporary styled villa, presents open air living alongside a
14-metre swimming pool.
ABOUT THE VILLA AT ECHO BEACH
The Villa at Echo Beach is a masterpiece of elegance and comfort;
handcrafted with simple lines to reflect the Island’s laidback, easy
lifestyle. As guests enter the wooden gates they will leave the outside
world behind.
The Villa is a stunning example of modern tropical architecture with
rustic tones and random rock walls, emphasising an appreciation of
earth, sand and sea. In the creation of this remarkable property, the
multi-talented Australian designer Stuart Membery has brought something
unique to Bali.
The Villa comprises an expansive, open air living and dining area,
an AV room, four bedrooms each with ensuite bathrooms, and numerous
relaxation areas. The long corridors and high ceilings, present a
feeling of enormous space. Fresh white walls, polished cement floors,
honey-coloured serai stone and dark timber accents form the primary
colours, offset by the Villa’s deep-blue tiled pool and rich green
lawns. Large pieces of artwork adorn the walls, while furnishings,
artefacts, accessories and lighting are all of the highest quality.

The master bedroom is delightfully spacious with tall peaked
ceilings, a king size built in polished cement bed, an abundance of

photographs of Balinese kids at play. A sliding glass door opens onto a
small timber deck. The ensuite bathroom is the same style as the
bathrooms adjoining the guest bedrooms.
All bedrooms have concealed air-conditioning units, a ceiling fan, satellite TV, DVD player, iPod dock, and a safe deposit box.
Living and Dining Room
The open-sided living room is characterised by a light grey polished
cement floor and a soaring roof lined with dark timber and supported by
broad wooden pillars. Casually furnished with oversized sofas,
ottomans, and coffee table, it is bordered by interior random rock walls
of serai stone and large potted palms. This stylish tropical living
space is cooled by ceiling fans and natural breezes, and opens directly
onto the pool deck.
Two steps lead from the living space to the open plan dining room,
furnished with a dining table handcrafted from a single piece of
two-toned suar wood. The table comfortably seats up to ten people.
Eye-catching black and white photographs of Bali are displayed along one
wall above a built-in polished cement sideboard, with drawers finished
in dark timber.

FACILITIES
Garden and Pool
The deep blue 14 x 5 metre swimming pool creates a dramatic
centrepiece, perfectly matched by eight tall palms lining the garden
wall opposite the living room.
There are a number of chill-out zones and ‘lose the kids’ zones at
the Villa, including two ironwood decks with their pergola style roofs,
allowing outside eating or pure relaxation zones. These decks are
situated in private walled gardens surrounded by frangipani trees.
Kitchen
The kitchen is located beside the dining area; when the sliding
wooden doors are closed it is completely secluded, and when the door is
open it becomes a feature. This immaculate state-of-the-art kitchen is
equipped with Smeg appliances, a central double sink polished cement
island and dark wood storage cabinets housing fine quality glass and
chinaware.
