longhouse

Sunrise casts a warm glow over the Longhouse as Bali’s purple hued mountains float above sparkling water forming the Longhouse’s spectacular morning view. Sitting on comfy sofas under the high vaulted traditional thatched alang roof of the main living pavilion of this six bedroom luxury villa, the view over the blue hued infinity pool provides a wonderful vista of an ever changing landscape.

The Longhouse, designed by Balinese architect Popo Danes, was built and furnished with a loving understanding of Balinese cultural traditions. But tradition here is enhanced with all the conveniences of a luxury villa – and more. Each of the 6 bedroom suites is named after a different island of the Indonesian archipelago. Not only is each room atmospherically furnished with artifacts from its namesake giving it its own personality, but features like plunge pools, daybeds, outdoor showers/baths and artistically designed bathrooms add to the experience.

Explore this 1200 square meter villa and find surprises around every corner. You can sink into cushioned sofas in the best home theater in Bali for an evening at the cinema. Enjoy traditional Balinese massage and beauty treatments in the Longhouse’s dedicated spa room with professional therapists. The Longhouse gym and Jacuzzi along with the 60 square meter infinity pool will help you stay in shape during your stay. There is even an elevator to access each floor. You’ll discover cozy corners with daybeds and benches, waterfalls and bountiful courtyard gardens to gaze at and a lovely garden to stroll in.

All this gazing and strolling and relaxing can be hungry work. Never fear! The staff can whip up a feast for all. We’ve heard tales of guests cancelling all restaurant reservations once they have sampled the cuisine here. The in house chef enjoys creating local delicacies as well as international treats, so whatever kind of food you enjoy, you can get it here. Dine at an exquisite dining table fashioned from a single slab of wood and able to seat up to 14 guests. It is here that the evening view unfolds: thousands of twinkling lights sparkle in the village below and on the boats beyond.

The beauty of the Longhouse and its spectacular setting make it one of Bali’s most outstanding villas. But it is the warmth of the dedicated professional staff that makes a stay at the Longhouse a memorable and unforgettable experience The Longhouse team is happy to share a bit of their Bali with you. Kite flying tournaments with fighting kites as well as lessons in Balinese dance, flower arranging and cooking can all be arranged to make a stay at the Longhouse a memory to be cherished for a lifetime.
