Villa Sabana Review

Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in the seaside village of Pererenan, Villa Sabana, the word special in Indonesian, is the perfect way to enjoy the serenity of Bali from the privacy of your own secluded, contemporary villa. Relax amidst extensive tropical gardens, private infinity lap pool and unobstructed rice paddy views to the west. A fully trained service team with experienced chef and attentive staff will assist you whether you are spending carefree hours lounging by the pool or using Villa Sabana as a base to explore spectacular Bali.

Villa Sabana is located on the southwest coast just 40 minutes from the international airport. Villa Sabana is a short hop to numerous world-class surfing breaks, local restaurants and, if you need a fix, just 15 minutes away from the shopping and nightlife of Seminyak. Tanah Lot and the championship Greg Norman designed Nirwana golf course are only 15 minutes away.

General Description

The entrance courtyard is studded with fragrant frangipani trees, western sunset views over terraced rice fields and the peaks of Gunung Agung to the north. Villa Sabana sits on over 2700 meters of gently sloping tropical gardens mixed with expansive areas for lawn games. An 18m x 4m infinity lap pool reflects the terraced rice fields and gently swaying coconut palms that border the property.

Villa Sabana was designed for the enjoyment of one to three families or five couples. The 650 square meter villa’s contemporary, tropical architecture blends teak plank floors contrasted against white cut palimanan stone walls and coffered ceilings. The owners, long term residents in Asia, have created a peaceful ambiance by combining Asian antiques with modern custom designed pieces imported from throughout the region. Beautiful fabrics enhance each bedroom and sitting area, adding an aura of simplicity and comfort. An extensive collection of contemporary Asian artwork and artifacts are spread throughout Villa Sabana. Balconies and sitting porches have been positioned to capture the stunning overlook of verdant rice fields and distant mountains.

Villa Sabana Family Home

Villa Sabana was designed as a family home. There is plenty of space for children to run and play lawn games. For adults there are wide choices of relaxing areas spread throughout the compound. Our service team is child friendly and arrangements can be made for babysitting ahead of time. Our chef is well versed in the preparation of local, international and children’s fare. For adults, arrangements can be made for in-house massages or appointments at a local spa. Our staff and driver can help you arrange excursions around the island. It is our goal to make your stay at Villa Sabana as enjoyable and relaxing as possible.

Villa Sabana Accommodation

There are four buildings spread across the property:

Villa Sabana Pool Side Bale

The poolside bale is a large open sitting area with overstuffed rattan couches, ceiling fans to stir the tropical breezes and a 42 inch flat panel television, DVD and iPod docking station.

Villa Sabana Main Residence

The main residence is two stories with two master bedrooms upstairs both equipped with king size beds, en suite marble bathrooms, rain showers, tubs and dressing areas. The first bedroom is decorated with contemporary teak furniture designed by the owners while the second bedroom features antiques hand-chosen from specialty shops throughout Bali. Both bedrooms have central air-conditioning and private porches. There is a large upstairs sitting porch providing dramatic views in three directions.

Downstairs in the main residence are two bedrooms each with twin four poster beds, antique side tables and daybeds to accommodate a third child. Both downstairs bedrooms have central air-conditioning, en suite marble bathrooms, tubs, and feature both indoor and outdoor showers. There are private porches with daybeds if one wishes to escape for a quiet read. All four bedrooms are accessed through a separate entrance which can be closed to create a private space within the larger villa – a design element the owners included for those with smaller children.

The dining room in the main residence continues the elegant simplicity of Villa Sabana with a large modern teak table to seat 12. Antique cabinets complement the modern table and chairs. The dining room can be air-conditioned or features large teak doorways that can be left open to capture cool tropical breezes.

Villa Sabana Media-Game Room

The media/game room is an independent structure which features a 47 inch flat panel television, DVD and iPod docking station. A large overstuffed couch and antiques fill the room adding a comfortable, relaxing destination after a day by the pool. There are games and puzzles for the children as well as a selection of DVD’s. The media room is fully air-conditioned, but as with most of Villa Sabana has large teak doors which can be slid open for breezes.

Villa Sabana Chinese Room

The fifth bedroom located to the left as you enter the compound is called the Chinese room by the staff. The gracefully carved antique Chinese screen that acts as a headboard is from the owner’s private collection. The room has a large built in daybed to accommodate a child. The fabrics on both the bed and daybed reflect the room’s Asian decor. The en suite marble bathroom is large with double sinks, a tub with a garden view and both indoor and outdoor showers. There is central air-conditioning throughout the fifth bedroom and a private porch with daybed.
