Pandawa Cliff Estate Villa Markisa

This superbly-located villa is the epitome of Balinese beauty, perched on a precipitous clifftop above Pandawa Beach. Panoramic views of the Indian Ocean stretch out from the southern tip of this tropical island paradise, one of four properties located within the Pandawa Cliff Estate. This is undiluted serenity on a remote part of the island, yet still tantalisingly close to some of the hottest beach bars and dining establishments that so many people rave about when visiting Bali.

With its pristine gardens, high walls and delectable relaxation spots, you are afforded maximum privacy whilst also witnessing some of the most breath-taking vistas. With ample space and facilities on-site, it is no surprise that people seek out the Pandawa Cliff Estate when planning major events: these ideally set up lodgings can accommodate groups of up to 42 adults with expert staff on-hand to attend to any whims or desires.

Set on the southern-most point of Bali, reside in exclusivity while safe in the knowledge that supreme dining and spiritual enlightenment is only a short drive away. Pandawa Cliff Estate accommodates just a handful of properties affording a sense of prestige from a marvellous setting overlooking the beautifully golden Pandawa Beach – with its local eating huts dotted along the coastline – sitting far below. This enchanting cove is made all the more special by the ornate carvings that sit hidden along the road that leads down to the beach. 

This spot of heaven is majestically located yet is still within easy reach of Bali's main airport, as well as the litany of surf spots that grace the region including Uluwatu – the mystical wave that sits below its world-famous monkey temple. Then for indulgence: the famed beach clubs and dining establishments of Jimbaran and Nusa Dua are just a short drive away.

With four properties on the estate, each harbours its own exclusive enclave with high walls accommodating maximum privacy. Grand pavilions house living and dining spaces with interconnected living rooms opening onto glass-backed balconies. This is in addition to the cliff-side pavilion that hosts yet more spectacular dining space, sitting alongside three separate swimming pools and an ocean-view sun deck. You are spoilt for choice when it comes to relaxed living.

The master suite is ideally located, overlooking the ocean from its pool-side setting, boasting king-sized bed, gigantic bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. The guest suites are beautifully designed for family hosting with two bedrooms on each level: easily accommodating twins or king-sized beds and with balcony or pool-side access. Deluxe ensuite bathrooms with double-basins, bathtubs and showers complete the picture in this majestically-appointed villa. The ideal option for groups of families travelling together.

This contemporary villa has a very clean finish – leaving the focus on the divine views that rest to the front of the property. Set on its own exclusive estate, guests have access to three pools alongside a sports centre - with tennis court, squash court and gym - and spa facilities. There is little reason to look beyond Pandawa Cliff Estate once you have settled in its lap of luxury. 

With three other villas on site, the quartet can sleep up to forty-two adults; the ideal party-pad for travelling groups, or be split into smaller arrangements for family gatherings. A private chef heads the kitchen and, alongside his team of master gourmets, will deliver astounding cuisine from an eclectic menu. Supported by an army of ground staff, pool attendants and security, the estate must be the smoothest run operation on the whole of Bali. You even have access to a fleet of private drivers – we just wonder if you will ever need them.
