The Shamira
a 5 Bedroom Pool Villa, in Canggu, Bali, Indonesia
From USD 480 ++ per night
Villa Shamira is a stylish and relaxed five-bedroom home enjoying a tranquil semi-rural setting along Bali’s southwest coast. This perfect family hideaway is set within lush tropical gardens and surrounded by the rice-fields and village communities of Canggu. It features a 12m swimming pool, an extensive array of relaxing indoor–outdoor living and dining areas and a professional team of delightful, long-term staff who are almost part of the family.
This five-bedroom residence is an idyllic home-away-from-home for extended families and groups of friends set in lush tropical gardens and has been thoughtfully decorated with modern comforts and luxuries for added ease of living and peace-of-mind. Contemporary tropical Asian influences – timelessly stylish yet informal and comfortable – complement the villa’s solid western architecture. There are so many inviting indoor–outdoor living spaces at Villa Shamira, including several dining areas, hidden patios and a poolside balé (gazebo) that guests will be spoiled for choice. These beautiful features, along with Villa Shamira’s charming bedrooms and centre-stage 12m swimming pool (pool fence available) surrounded by a sociably sized stone pool deck, make this oasis the ideal choice for entertaining in style and lounging in luxurious comfort.
Canggu is a peaceful seaside community blending rural life, coastal elegance and luxury living, with effortless charm. This stunning villa is a convenient ten-minute stroll from Canggu Beach, renowned for its excellent surfing and spectacular sunsets, and only a few kilometres from the sophistication, boutique shopping and world-class restaurants of popular Seminyak.
Master bedroom
The master bedroom is reminiscent of a romantic boudoir in a French chateau– incorporating both bedroom and sitting areas. It features teak floors, a walk-in wardrobe and a wrought-iron four-poster bed, flanked by matching baby cot, also draped with mosquito netting. The large, flat-screen TV (for DVDs only) can be viewed from the bed or from the white suede sofas and armchair. The indulgent ensuite bathroom includes a vanity area and raised free-standing bathtub. Doors from here, lead out onto a private patio area with rattan furniture, prettily edged with bougainvillea and potted plants – a lovely spot for breakfast.
Bedrooms 2 & 3
Perhaps more ‘English country cottage’ than ‘French Chateau’ in ambiance, bedrooms two and three, like the master, lead off from a cosy, purple-hued first floor landing. Bedroom two is the larger of the pair and both rooms share a small bathroom with shower.
Garden room
The appropriately named ‘garden room’ is surrounded by leafy foliage. Glass-encased, and with distressed wood floors, the sunlit fourth bedroom has a contemporary Asian feel; however the ensuite bathroom with walk-in rain shower does include a trademark chandelier! Doors at the far side lead onto the pool deck, while doors at the front open onto a stone patio with a table and four chairs.
Lumbung Room
Villa Shamira offers an extra bedroom designed to resemble a Balinese rice barn, or lumbung, with wooden floors, a high ceiling and narrow doors, plus a small but divine balcony overlooking the pool, furnished with a vintage rocking chair and armchair. This room does not have an ensuite bathroom but guests can use the glorious, tropical bathroom adjacent to the living and dining area. Crafted entirely from Palimanan stone, this semi-open bathroom boasts an indulgent, sunken stone bathtub and expansive, open-air tropical rain shower.
Living, dining, kitchen and TV room
A contemporary tropical Asian style pervades at the heart of Villa Shamira. The expansive open-sided living and dining area is fringed with foliage and is cooled by natural breezes and ceiling fans providing a variety of relaxed, informal living spaces. Throughout, an eclectic mix of family photos adorn the walls, bookcases are brimming with a variety of literature, vases of tropical blooms abound and antique Indonesian furniture and artifacts are thoughtfully styled.
Facing the pool, a marble-floored dining area affords a boathouse effect with a low sloping white timber roof above a long wooden table for ten. Flanking either side is a pretty blue and white cushioned daybed and a traditionally styled seating area on a raised platform providing two sublime spots for pre-dinner drinks. Adjacent, there’s a smaller dining area for more intimate soirees.
Two further dining tables and an antique daybed stacked with white cushions furnish the centre of the living and dining area while, at the far end, is the expansive TV room. Functional in design, this air-conditioned and entirely glass-encased room houses a 40-inch flat-screen satellite TV with DVD player, which can be enjoyed from the comfort of white suede couches. A CD stereo system, iPod dock and multiple speakers are perfect accompaniments for get-togethers and pool parties. Also off the living and dining area is a modern corner kitchen, fully-fitted with white painted wood cabinets, which is compact, yet well-equipped.
Gardens, pool & balé
The pretty, natural stone, 6 x 12m swimming pool dominates the garden to the rear of the villa; its submerged ledge perfect for sunset drinks. A generous stone pool deck is furnished with five rattan sun-loungers. To the right, four woven rattan pod chairs and a large table are stunningly illuminated at night by a spherical lantern, resembling a golden moon.
At the pool’s opposite end stands a thatched balé stacked with comfy cushions – a gloriously peaceful spot for reading and siestas – while along the sides of the villa, even more outdoor sitting areas can be found. The gardens feature lawns adorned with stone steps and edged by lush, tropical flora, such as banana plants and tall palm fronds, encircled by a combination of stone walls and bamboo fencing
The villa also has its own stock of beer, spirits, wines and Champagnes. All beverages are charged per drink, except for wine which is charged by the bottle.
