Part of a trio of hyper-luxurious villas within Kanna Seafront Estate in the Northeast coastal village of Tulamben, Villa Kannahita and Villa Kannandari impress at first glance with its cascading landscape design over three floors, from entrance down to the enchanting garden next to the ocean. Embedded in unspoilt wilderness of Tulamben, this high-end twin villas rise out of the earth like a crown jewel, standing tall and bridging Mount Agung area with the Bali sea in front of it. Showcasing six bedrooms, an outdoor lagoon pool, two living rooms, two dining areas, five bathrooms, a breathtakingly vast garden expanse, and the most spectacular view anywhere on the island, your stay at Villa Kannahita and Villa Kannandari promises to be a celebrated experience. Inspired by traditional architecture meets modern expression, every corner of the villas evoke an unrivaled tranquil ambience. Thanks to an open-plan design concept bringing in the majestic outdoors, each living space is breezy, airy and letting in plenty of natural light. It might take you a bit longer to get to this slice of paradise, but this “live-to-tell” stay experience is not to be missed. For diving enthusiasts, Tulamben is famed for its countless dive-sites, from shipwrecks to coral gardens. It’s truly world-class!
Bedrooms
The six bedrooms are spread evenly over the two villas. All three bedrooms in Villa Kannandari occupy the entire third floor, have en-suites, wardrobe, and a dresser. The master bedroom is spacious, equipped with a comfy lounge area and a balcony overseeing the eye-popping view of the garden and ocean below. Free standing bathtubs are available in the two other bedrooms. Differing slightly in layout, the master bedroom and a second room occupy the top floor in Villa Kannahita, where a third bedroom sits one floor beneath them. The master bedroom is roomy and has ensuite with a bathtub in it. Perfect as kids room, the second bedroom is interconnected to the master bedroom and has a big balcony overlooking the impressive view beneath. The third bedroom is also sizeable, and opens directly out to the garden area.
Outdoor Areas
The expansive outdoor area is undoubtedly the centerpiece of the twin villas, highlighting a lagoon style pool and a cascading landscape design that extends all the way to the ocean, interlinking the two villas. Sprawling flora of every size, shape and foliage are strategically placed to conjure up the “magic garden” feel. Each level of the garden is accentuated with a row of cushy sofa at its border. Finding the best spot to cozy up and laze the day away could prove difficult as there are so many idyllic spots, from the beanbags poolside to the oceanfront deck chairs, the curvy sofa under towering palm trees to a secluded cabana next to Bali Sea, or you might want to jump in the hammock between two palm trees over the ocean or sit on the swing next to the pool. The carefully manicured lawn makes you want to sit down and have a picnic. There are also a couple of decking areas jutting out over the ocean where an intimate lounge area sits. It has all the ingredients for the perfect place for afternoon tea, snacks or beverage.
Indoor Areas
All living rooms and dining areas in both villas employ an open-air design to let in plenty of fresh air and natural light at all times. Occupying the second floor down from street level, the living room of Villa Kannandari is palatial featuring a super long lounge, and strategically placed to face the Bali Sea. Enjoying the panoramic view of the dramatic garden extending into the infinite ocean from the lounge is an irresistible activity on its own. On the other end of the lounge area is a long ten-seater dining table. In Villa Kannahita, both the living and dining area, as well as the kitchen, sit one level below the street. With a more intimate layout, the view from the dining area is truly next level. The theme of dark wood paneling and white walls is uniformly employed in all indoor areas to exude a serene environment. Exquisite hand woven artwork are tastefully placed all around the space to elevate the grandeur of the space. Both villas have a stand-alone fully-equipped kitchen.
