		HOME           | cover story .   There are abundant choices for the holiday-goer seeking rest and relaxation – five-star hotels, boutique hotels, spa resorts. However, a stay in one of the private Bali Luxury Villa Collection properties surpasses all these options; private enclaves where there is no need to share amenities or even step out of your villa during your entire stay. But it is the extras that take the divine to the sublime…the VIP fast airport clearance service, ‘club lounge’ nightly canapés and cocktails, inclusive laundry, Bvlgari bathroom goodies, round-the-clock butler service, and the chauffeured vehicles on call at all times for shopping, touring or night-clubbing..... Even at the most luxurious hotels, the level of privacy, seclusion and self-sufficiency provided by the Bali Luxury Villa Collection is difficult to find. These luxe properties bring glamour and style to this unspoiled whilst fashionable part of Bali. All are located in the enchanting traditional village of Cepaka with the volcanoes of Bali, terraces of rice, tropical forests and antiquated temples flanking it…. just 15mins from Tanah Lot (and the island’s best golf course), and twenty minutes chauffeured drive north of the famed shopping and restaurants of Seminyak and Legian.  Design and size aside, they all offer a rare opportunity to both catch up and unwind in intimate, luxurious surroundings where service is ever present, yet never intrudes..and all in complete privacy. They are magical holiday destinations for couples/honeymooners, young families and groups of friends, and compelling as venues for weddings, pre-wedding parties, wedding accommodation, and special occasions. Co-ordination of all facets of your wedding or special event can be arranged at one of the properties using hand-picked specialists.  Beautiful locations and barefoot elegance....guests will feel they are in special and unique places with the feeling of private residences. Villa Kembali The mystical elements of Bali are readily apparent in the 5 bedroom Kembali – aged native trees and palms are integrated with the luxurious architecture, which fuses original and traditional elements seamlessly. As with all these properties, Kembali is especially accommodating of families with babies and young children. Expect to find cots, high chairs, sterilizers, toys, play centres and kid-sized clothing, and fun food and drinks menus. Villa Sungai Providing indulgence on an outrageous scale, Sungai comes with a poolside ‘great room’ which can seat 2-16 guests comfortably for gala dining, a bar overlooking the river and 17m pool, and a dedicated spa room. Three king bedrooms with the best linen and deepest double bath, Bose sound in the pavilions, loaded iPods in the bedrooms, and 9 extraordinary staff. At Sungai Gold (an offshoot of Sungai) separate dining, leisure and massage pavilions and pool are all dedicated to just one couple. Stay in all day with sensual massages, fine dining and splendid wines where the staff practise the ‘any time, anything’ philosophy to perfection, whipping up your requests at any hour. Villa Devatas Devatas is a world class contemporary private resort set on a huge riverside plot that takes tropical paradise to the extreme in the island’s latest upscale address. It is one of Bali’s most seductive private hideaways with its magnificent setting, 5 beautifully appointed suites, gym, spa and 20m pool providing an experience that will never be forgotten.
