Villa Adenium

Villa Adenium is a stylish and contemporary villa offering stunning ocean views and a team of friendly staff. Villa Adenium is a 4-bedroom villa designed for relaxed, comfortable living. It is fully equipped with an abundance of facilities, including a 15-metre salt water swimming pool, kid’s playroom complete with Xbox, games room with table tennis and billiard table, gymnasium and massage room. Villa Adenium, is the ideal holiday pad for energetic families and groups of friends.

Just a five minute walk from the villa, Jimbaran has a lot to offer. As well as five kilometres of golden sands and invitingly warm sea, this is the place to watch fisherman haul catches from their brightly coloured jukungs (fishing boats) and enjoy some of the island’s freshest seafood at one of the many local warungs that line the beach.

A full complements of staff are on hand at Villa Adenium to make you feel at home. Ask the friendly in-house chef to prepare a seafood feast on the barbecue terrace, or one of the waiting staff to fix you a cocktail by the pool – one thing’s for sure, you need not lift a finger except to flip a page of your book or select your favourite song on the Bose stereo system.

Accommodation

A serenely seated Buddha invites guests up the black lava-stone stairs and into Villa Adenium through a coral-limestone entranceway shaded by fragrant frangipanis. Arranged over three storeys, this home features a gymnasium, games and massage room at basement level; a lounge, dining room and kitchen, plus one of the master bedrooms and the swimming pool at ground level, and, on the upper level, three bedrooms opening onto a broad ocean-view deck.

Adenium’s four chic and stylish air-conditioned bedrooms, two masters and two guest suites, are tastefully decorated with modern furnishings that contrast beautifully against the teakwood floors and light cream walls. The rooms feature comfortable beds (three king-size and one twin) with bedside tables and lamps, TV and DVD player (except ground floor master suite), iPod docks and ceiling fans. The lower master suite looks out to the pool while the upstairs master and two guest bedrooms open onto a large wooden deck with sweeping ocean views – and a telescope for star-gazers.

Each bedroom has a marble ensuite bathroom fitted with a walk-in rain shower and handheld shower, while the two master suites have the additional luxury of bathtubs, (a Jacuzzi tub in the upstairs suite).

Dining, Living and Kitchen

The ground floor forms the social hub of the villa with the lounge, dining and kitchen facing the pool behind glass sliding doors which can be closed for air-conditioned comfort or opened to enjoy the natural sea breeze. The relaxed lounge, furnished with a large, L-shaped beige sofa and chocolate brown arm chair, is just the place to get together and watch movies on the large flat-screen TV or enjoy some music on the state–of-the-art Bose sound system. There’s even a small library with a funky orange rocking chair for those who wish to curl up with a good book.

The open-plan dining and kitchen area features a dining table for eight below a shell chandelier which looks lovely lit at night, and a foosball table where the kids can burn off any excess energy while waiting for their dinner. The modern kitchen is fitted with black granite worktops and is well equipped with a four-burner hob, oven, double refrigerator, wine fridge, espresso machine, microwave, and everything else that the chef needs in order to prepare delicious meals.

Location

Villa Adenium is located within the secure hillside complex of Temple Hill Upper II, only a five-minute walk from Jimbaran; a sweeping bay that curves for five kilometres from the southern side of the airport to the start of the Bukit Peninsula. The bay is protected by an unbroken coral reef, which can be traversed only by small jukung fishing boats; so although the calm water here is not suitable for surfing, it’s excellent for swimming. Jimbaran is also renowned for its beachside warungs (local eateries) offering just about every type of fresh seafood you can think of, making it a very popular venue for sunset dinners. The Bukit Peninsula’s beautiful beaches and many of Bali’s world-famous surf breaks are within a 20- minute drive of the villa, including Padang-Padang and Bingin. And a sunset visit to the magical cliff top temple at Uluwatu shouldn’t be missed.
