Heavenly Residence O-Wow Villas

When you exit from the elevator and enter Villa 9, facing across the swimming pool to the Indian Ocean before you, an “O-Wow” inadvertently escapes from the lips. The view is literally breathtaking. Yes, you read right, there is an elevator taking guests to this villa from the car park and reception below. It is probably the only villa in Bali with an elevator at all and without realizing it, when you arrive to Villa 9, you are three stories up overlooking a sheer cliff face that drops some 50 meters to the beach. This villa, besides appearing to be on top of the world, is also at the top of the other eight villas that make up The Asmara in Nusa Dua.

Three of the nine villas are operated under the banner of Heavenly Residence, which is run by Eric Li, who also designed and built The Asmara. The Asmara is like a satellite community living in its own space and time – Eric Li is the captain of the ship, sailing The Asmara through Bali waters. He is a man who gets things done and the place is a credit to him and his vision.

Villa 9 is a three, with the option of four bedroom villa. The two main bedrooms have the biggest views. They are situated on each side of the infinity swimming pool in the pavilion style layout of the 600sqm rental villa with commanding views over the Indian Ocean. Spacious en-suite bathrooms with walk-in robes and outdoor area complement the bedroom suites.

There are Japanese and Chinese influences adding to the tropical Balinese flavor of the design with large pillars holding up the roof of the dining/living pavilion. Furnishings and interiors are also designed by Eric Li. This area separates two front bedrooms and swimming pool from private third bedroom at the rear. Between the living and the third bedroom lies a heated Jacuzzi with stone and timber fringes that offer a tranquil and private area for guests. A modern fully-equipped kitchen, the latest sound and visual equipment and a special Skype telephone system offering free world-wide calls adds to Villa 9’s charm.

Villa 9 and two more Asmara Villas are now available for rent.
