Setting
Two one storey buildings are set around the generous swimming pool and natural tiled walkways lined in decorative smooth stones. The slightly elevated main building consists of a living area and kitchen flanked on both sides by wrap-around veranda and two bedrooms with private ensuite bathrooms. A formal dining terrace is located to the far right of the structure, and allows 10 people to dine in comfort. The second building is located in front of the dining room, on the other side of the pool. It has a large open space living area, with cozy Sofas and lights. Next to it are the two other bedrooms with dressing and ensuite bathroom, both with their large sliding door giving direct access to the garden and the pool.
Living and Dining
Dividing the shaded wrap-around porch of the main building into two distinct areas is the main living room, which can be opened up for natural ventilation or closed off by full-length sliding glass doors. All the walls are covered with natural colour palimanan stones, which give a wonderful outdoor feeling to this room.
The furniture is a mix of sculpted modern and antique styles. A long blissfully relaxing sofa in the center offer lounging space enough to fit 6 people. A rolling lower table in front of it and further along the wall, the solid wooden shelving for the flat screen TV (with Satellite TV), DVD player and iPod speaker system. A wide selection of DVD's is available accommodating children and adults alike. Around this set-up are many of Umah Duris's art Master pieces, including sculptures, and a very large painting.
A palimanan-tiled wall conceals part of the fully equipped kitchen. The contours of the solid teak bar top accentuate the natural patterns of the wood, and create a comfortable bar area in front of the kitchen from which one can overlook the expanse of the property. The exposed timber cathedral ceiling arches to a point incorporating ceiling fans and heat extractors to create a comfortable airflow environment.
Umah duri's dining room is one of a kind as it brings guest into the true atmosphere of Bali Villas: Open space concept. Located on the right of the main building, a large dining table made of fine wood can accommodate up to 12 guests. The largest painting of the Villa is on the Wall of the dining room, and the iconic piece of art is at the entrance: the Vespa. Two nice dim lights create a very relax atmoshpere at night.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Villa Umah Duri has four very fine-looking bedrooms, all are air-conditioned with king size bed and ensuite bathroom. Two Master bedrooms are on the main building while two guest bedrooms are located on the second building.
Master bedrooms are both accessible by the veranda decking surrounding all the main building. On the decking of the bedroom on the left, you will enjoy a massage area and very comfortable large sofa draped with delicate cream mosquito netting. A little circular table and two chairs are also in front in this bedroom, which give you several options to rest and enjoy the views of the garden and pool under the cool ventilation of 3 ceiling fans. This bedroom has large cupboards next to its bed and a semi opened bathroom next to it. On the decking of the right bedroom, the table and chair set-up is the same, and a large colonial style rattan chair is facing the second building and the pool. This master bedroom has a dedicated dressing area behind curtains and a comfortable relax area with a very comfortable Recamier armchair and two large lamps next to it. You may find this are very convenient for reading or simply take a nap. The king sized four poster bed is complimented on either side by matching wooden beside tables topped off with modern dimming lamps.
A tiled pathway slices through the meticulous lawn and leads from the dining terrace (on the right side of the main building) to the second structure, housing two bedrooms. The organic materials used in the construction of this traditional structure emanate a natural ambience as does the warm golden beige toned decoration features. Both bedrooms have a huge sliding glass door as an entrance, allowing the room to be very opened up to the property or closed off and concealed by either light voilage or heavier golden beige black out curtains for absolute serenity and privacy. Each bedroom has a standing wardrobe concealed behind the bed which dominates the room in the center. You will also enjoy paintings on the wall.
It is not easy to find many Bali Villas with 4 bedrooms with luxury standard as high as Umah Duri.
