Best Family Bali Villas Rental | SeminyakBali.NET

Karang Kembar is a dazzling, 4-bedroom villa (plus a small children’s bedroom), complete with 15 x 5 m infinity-edge swimming pool. Perched upon a clifftop, 90 metres above the pristine Kutuh Beach and the rolling surf of southern Bali, the villa commands an easterly aspect, ensuring glorious sunrise views across the Indian Ocean and the neighbouring Nusa Penida Island.

The contemporary design of the villa takes advantage of the topography, using the surroundings and magnificent view as a support for the architectural concept. Veering away from tradition, the flat roofs, Palimanan stone walls and white interiors ooze a profound sense of calm, privacy and seclusion. The villa is fitted with WiFi Internet access and personal safe deposit boxes.

Location

Karang Kembar 2 is located on the southernmost tip of Bali in a region known as the Bukit Peninsula a limestone tableland boasting some of Bali’s most glamorous villas, private estates and internationally-branded boutique hotels. Characterised by wide open spaces and skies, the azure waters are the playground of dolphins and migrating whales, and the landscape is dotted with wild flowers, cactus, kapok trees and spectacular scarlet flamboyants.

A tropical, equatorial climate means year-round balmy temperatures, this area is much drier than the rest of the island and even in the rainy season is a reliable sun-trap. When the southeast trade winds blow offshore and the southern ocean swells hit the reefs, the barrelling surf breaks are among the best in the world. In the shallows, within a patchwork of underwater, bamboo-fenced plots, the local people traditionally cultivate, harvest and export seaweed, for use in cosmetics, food stabilisers and medicines.

Despite its remoteness, Karang Kembar 2 is only 35 minutes drive from the endless shopping, vibrant nightlife and international restaurants of Kuta and Seminyak. A world-class beachside golf course can be found a few kilometres away at Nusa Dua, with another one at the nearby Dreamland Beach complex. The remainder of the island offers a rich mosaic of cultures, tastes, sights and sounds, together with a wide array of activities.
