Villa Songket is a vacation complex that’s comprised of three pavilions – all typifying contemporary tropical elegance. Interiors are appointed with fine, ornate and coordinated local furnishings and pieces. Throughout the villa are sculptures of traditional figures – touches that exude a charm that’s exotic and essentially Balinese. Amenities are of hotel and resort standard – enhancing ease and recreation for every guest. Truly, Villa Songket has all the classy and choice details that will make your valuable time off certainly well spent.
The villa has three bedrooms. The master bedroom is in a separate pavilion parallel to the swimming pool. This bedroom has a canopied and draped king-sized bed, as well as a dedicated, semi-open bathroom with a bathtub and an outdoor rain shower. The master bedroom also has direct access to the garden and to the swimming pool. Another bedroom is in another separate pavilion at the front of the main pavilion. This bedroom has a canopied and draped king-sized bed, as well as a dedicated, semi-open bathroom with an outdoor rain shower. This bedroom opens out to a private garden. One other bedroom is on the second level of the main pavilion. This bedroom has canopied and draped twin beds, as well as a dedicated, semi-open, roof garden bathroom with an outdoor rain shower. This bedroom opens out to a furnished balcony overlooking both lawn and swimming pool.
At the edge of the garden’s well-maintained lawn is the 11-meter swimming pool. Dip into its beckoning, glassy waters for some aimless wading. Or, push everyone in for some splashy fun and games. But for some sun, laze on cushioned, reclining pool beds on the wooden deck at one end of the swimming pool. When the temperature rises, however, withdraw to the shade of the bale at the other end of the swimming pool, and doze off on the soft mattress as a balmy breeze blows by.
On one side of the main pavilion’s airy, semi-open and high-ceilinged ground level is the living area with its cushioned, wooden benches and woven wood chairs oriented towards a widescreen TV. Here, you can all converge for the highly-anticipated new episode of the latest blockbuster series. Or, to relive the high points of your most beloved classic movie. On the other half of this spacious pavilion is the dining area. Around its wooden table good for eight, you can all feast on authentic local specialties – as well as Western staples – meticulously put together by the in-house chef at the fully-equipped, modern kitchen right behind the dinner table.
Assigned to attend to the villa’s daily services is a staff composed of a housekeeper, a pool attendant, a gardener and a security team. Aside from the chef, a babysitter and a spa therapist may, upon your request, be called in. Their services come with a separate charge however.
Villa Songket is situated in Umalas. By car, Seminyak – Bali’s tourist hub – is just 10 minutes away. Find your way to the Oberoi District’s Eat Street – popular among foodies for its casual to fine dining restaurants. Standouts are La Lucciola, Mamasan, Metis and Sarong. Roam around and you’ll encounter malls, fashion boutiques, novelty shops and souvenir stores. Eventually, you will get to Seminyak Beach. Settle comfortably at one of the cozy beach cafes and chill out until twilight. Then get a feel of the vibrant nightlife at in bars and clubs like Ku De Ta.
