Puri Tirta Alamanda

Villa Alamanda is a stylish three-bedroomed property perfectly suited for couples’ retreats and familial escapes; a secluded enclave within a gloriously tropical environment in which groups come together to rejoice at the splendour of their paradisiacal surrounds. One of five Puri Tirta villas, guests delight in making the most of access to a private jetty from which to launch canoes or take to the seas in a speed-boat – the ideal vessels for exploring the cinematic mangroves and secretive bays of the neighbouring islands.

From its intimate setting, exclusive island hotspots remain within easy reach, so should you wish to venture out and sample the famous Balinese cuisine, or party amongst the trendsetting crowds, more ebullient destinations are little more than a stone’s throw from your doorstep.

Part of the Puri Tirta complex, Villa Alamanda is an idyllic sanctuary on the edge of the esteemed location of Nusa Dua – a prestigious region known for its multitude of fine-dining establishments and eclectic beach-front hang-outs. Enjoying a tranquil setting at the edge of the glassy Tanjung Benoa lagoon, the property has access to one of the most beautiful stretches of water in which to enjoy the most adventurous of water-sports, while those hoping for more powerful swells are just a short drive from the famed surf-breaks of the island.

Nusa Dua is 15-minutes’ drive from the villa and boasts the most impressive of Balinese resorts – a collection of five-star restaurants and oasis-like spas that tempt in discerning travellers from all corners of the globe. With its own golf & country club, the region is also ideal for those looking to swing a club while for the culturally-inclined, the divine temple setting of Uluwatu is a short drive away; or elect for the peaceful village of Jimbaran with its gentle fishing vibe, and just a short journey south.

Step inside the walls of Villa Alamanda and enjoy the serene oasis that awaits, lofty wooden ceilings and retractable bi-fold doors connecting indoors to out to create a single, unified space. The living and dining rooms share the front of the property – a poolside location for lazy days of heavenly delight amidst an atmosphere of utmost calm. The pool itself is bordered by the sweet temptations of sun-loungers, an alluring location that draws guests in to a state of sleepy repose post lunchtime-indulgence.

The deluxe master bedroom sits upstairs within a traditional décor of polished wood, the regal four-poster bed resting front and centre. Doors slide back to reveal an extensive balcony offering ocean vistas, while the capacious ensuite is a marble-surfaced palace. The two guest bedrooms are on the ground floor and would be the perfect space for a family with younger children – each with an ensuite, glass doors to create an airy enclave with views of the pool and beyond, and a king-sized bed and separate twin arrangement that can easily accommodate parents and two children.

The villas of Puri Tirta are perfectly sequestered, enticingly intimate retreats, whilst still offering proximal access to the more exciting goings-on of this vivacious island. Coupling beach-front living with sheltered surrounds creates the most idyllic hideaway that vacationers could wish for. With the complex also providing a team of professionally-trained staff dedicated to each of the dwellings, expect nothing but five-star service as all requests are met with the utmost expedience.

Additional touches such as the welcome basket of fruit on arrival create a special aura to the environment, kicking off the holiday in a heart-warming fashion. Then daily breakfasts served al fresco at the pool-side table continue this feeling of kind-spirited charm. On an island revered for its unwavering friendliness, enjoy the gentlest of atmospheres within the four walls of Villa Alamanda.
