Ungasan Villa Gita

The tropical oasis of Villa Gita Ungasan possesses a spacious elegance thanks to its open-plan living set beneath vaulted wooden ceilings – features that elicit a traditional, yet contemporary, aura. A minimalistic décor drws on the finest of island artworks to embellish the tranquil atmosphere, while retractable wooden doors draw the gaze towards the blissful island scenery that stretches into the distance. Whether catching forty-winks on the inviting U-shaped sofa, or reclining in the shade of the towering poolside palms, prepare to unwind in this heavenly setting.

Karma Kandara is the five-star resort on whose grounds the property resides – an exclusive enclave in which fifty-four villas discover unrivalled seclusion, the jungle-like gardens offering ample protection from neighbouring dwellings. With a host of top-drawer facilities available thanks to privileged access, guests can bask in the delight of resort-like indulgence, while still enjoying the serenity of their own villa retreat.

Set on the mesmerising southern tip of the bountiful Bukit peninsula, Villa Gita Ungasan boasts an exclusive location within the deluxe Karma Kandara resort, yet remains within close proximity to many of the island’s most revered attractions. Whether it’s the spiritual setting of Uluwatu– the clifftop temple that presides over a world-class surf spot – or the cultural hotbed of Ubud, guests are within just a few kilometres of these must-visit hotspots.

Within the estate, guests enjoy access to their own private stretch of pristine white sand, while the on-site spa, fine-dining restaurant and sparkling children’s club provide all one could wish for from an idyllic family-oriented escape. For the braver among us, the draw of Paintball Bali is often too great a temptation to resist and can provide unbridled entertainment. Or vie for the more genteel competition that is golf, with Kuta’s newly-constructed 18-hole championship course just 15-minutes away.

Villa Gita Ungasan beautifully reflects the ornate style of the Karma Kandara estate – spacious living, traditional, yet modern, furnishing and indulgent bedrooms forming the ultimate in holiday hideaways. From the open-plan living room on the ground floor, guests can absorb the lavish atmosphere in sheltered surrounds, admiring splendid sceneries through retractable bi-fold doors. With the infinity pool outside and the deep blue ocean just beyond, there are few more heavenly sanctuaries than this. A well-equipped kitchen affords the opportunity of preparing divine local delicacies, while the airy dining space is the perfect setting for sunset banquets.

The master bedroom is a site to behold – a top-floor position breathing in the best of the ocean-views with its private terrace. A king-sized bed will have guests dozing for hours, though the freestanding terrazzo bathtub could be all the inspiration one needs to be raised from slumber. Two guest bedrooms have king-beds, one of which can be split into a twin, plus a study room can also extend to extra sleeping for larger groups. With ensuite marble bathrooms and direct access to the tropical outdoors, each abode is and optional butlers on request to facilitate with entertainment

Villa Gita Ungasan is privileged in its positioning within the Karma Kandara resort; few properties enjoy the delight of isolation with the indulgence of five-star facilities, yet this is exactly what is on offer at this beautiful locale. On days when cooking seems too much, descend to the beach and feast on seafood banquets of regal splendour; when energy abounds, why not try your hand at crustacean cookery on the gas-fired grill on the poolside decking. Then, when the time arrives to unwind in full, arrange a treatment in the on-site spa, choosing from the extensive menu on offer and allowing yourself to melt into the pleasure of a few hours of bliss.

Beyond the estate boundaries lie additional discoveries, and with a private chauffeur on-hand, they are within easy reach wherever you wish to explore; your villa manager is always available to book so be safe in the knowledge that there will be no administrative headaches during your stay. With additional housekeeping - and optional butlers on request to facilitate with entertainment – there is little to do but embrace the offering of this deluxe domain.
