On the coast of Bali, Indonesia just inland from Seminyak, is the village Cepaka. Here, time slows down, the impact of western society dissipates and sprawling rice paddies (which have supported families for generations) are defined by a slow meandering river. And by this river sits Villa Sungai Gold. A luxury one bedroom villa, laced with tangible indulgent luxury, generous spaces and an acute attention to detail. This villa is a unique escape, where your every need is taken care of by your pribate staff dedicated to you and your travelling party. All items and furnishings to be found here are hand-made, hand chosen and custom designed, from the thatched roofs made from dried alang alang grass, to the furniture made from local whitewashed teak finished in chalky lime wash and covered in stylish khaki and batik fabrics - in line with the Armani feel and elegance, to the fresh cut flowers. The layout of the villa is open, generous and well thought through. The neutral textured palette is pleasing on the eye and everything is done simply and well. Made up of four pavilions, the simple daily rituals of sleeping, eating, relaxing and bathing create the pattern of your day.
