Villa Lakshmi Ubud

Villa Lakshmi Ubud is a peaceful 2 bedroom hideaway, with all the delights of Seminyak right on its doorstep, from sweeping sandy beaches, to world-class restaurants, trendy bars and designer boutiques.

Two-storey villa Lakshmi Ubud is the largest in the Lakshmi villas enclave and is named after the town of Ubud – the artistic and cultural heart of Bali. Built to a contemporary Balinese design, the villa is a celebration of elegant tropical living. Its open-sided living pavilion, with soaring rattan ceiling, is adorned with antiques and local artwork and overlooks the private swimming pool. The upper-floor bedroom boasts a breezy private terrace, and the ground floor bedroom also serves as a TV lounge/study.

Long-standing staff provide a warm welcome and a discreet professional service. The villa has a guest kitchen, with mini bar and complimentary tea and coffee, while an executive private chef prepares tasty meals in the staff kitchen from an extensive a la carte menu that includes western and Asian dishes. The chef is also happy to accommodate any special requests – from kid’s meals to four-course feasts and pool-side barbecues.

Villa Lakshmi Ubud is arranged in an L-shape around a swimming pool fed with two ornamental water fountains and set within a walled courtyard bordered with abundant tropical foliage. The kitchen, living room and TV lounge / second bedroom are on the ground floor, with the master bedroom and a breezy sunset terrace on the upper floor.

Villa Lakshmi Ubud’s entrance leads into a fan-cooled, tropical-style living pavilion with cool stone floors and a steeply pitched roof supported by stout teakwood columns. Two rattan sofas piled with colourful cushions make a relaxing lounge area arranged around a wooden coffee table. A dining table seats six and a sideboard displays magazines, Balinese-themed coffee table books and an iPod dock.

A guest kitchen with a granite counters adjoins the lounge room, and provides all the essentials for tea and coffee-making, cool drinks from the mini bar, or for whipping up a quick meal.

Outside, in the pretty walled courtyard, is a private 6 x 4-metre swimming pool, at one end of which is a wooden deck furnished with loungers shaded by a parasol.

In the upstairs bedroom, a king-sized bed is draped in a soft olive green mosquito net and adorned in crisp white linen and deluxe pillows. A large timber wall unit incorporates wardrobe and shelves, and an alcove for a satellite TV/DVD player. The ensuite bathroom is fitted with a walk-in rain shower and a tub and has customised amenities. On the adjoining terrace, a comfortable daybed is just the place to appreciate the light breeze and pool views while enjoying a good book.

Villa Lakshmi Ubud’s second bedroom can be configured with a king-size bed or twins and also functions as a TV lounge or study. The room is equipped with a satellite TV/DVD player and features an attractive semi-outdoor bathroom with walk-in rain shower, bath tub and customised amenities.

Whether you want to stroll down to the world-class dining venues of Seminyak’s ‘eat street,’ shop till you drop, lounge on the beach, or sip cocktails at sunset, the opportunities that come with a stay at Villa Lakshmi Ubud are endless.
