Distinguished by a historical Javanese ‘joglo’ living pavilion and contemporary-colonial architecture, the exquisite Villa Oost Indies Seminyak (formerly Villa Des Indes 2) presents choice of luxury 2 and 3 bedrooms, a swimming pool and garden. Original colonial-style furnishings produced from indigenous teakwood and rattan by local craftsmen interpret Dutch designs, while reflecting the desires o
f the colonial era with lazy planter chairs, marble-topped tables and washstands, sumptuous silks, Chinese and Indonesian antiques, artefacts and curios. Here, in atmospheric luxury, guests can look forward to a captivating journey back through time, combined with the exemplary services of personal butlers and a top-class chef. Much of the antique timber from the century-old joglo – which was once the home of a Javanese nobleman – has been utilised, and can be seen throughout Villa Oost Indies in the form of wood-panelled screen walls and recycled teakwood floors. Yet the 21st century comes into its own with all the modern comforts, ranging from air-conditioning to flat screen TVs and DVD players in the bedrooms, steaming monsoon showers in the bathrooms, and the facilities of a fully-equipped high-tech kitchen. Villa Oost Indies is securely positioned just 400 metres from Petitenget Beach, Seminyak, and only a short stroll from a wide choice of internationally-acclaimed restaurants, beach clubs, spas, bars, shops and chic boutiques.
