Accommodation
Guests enter Villa Mana via an entrance bridge, which leads into a reception area, open-air living and dining areas and pool deck. From here, all eyes will be drawn to the highlight of this remarkable property; the amazing view of Balis famous rice terraces and, in the early evenings, magical sunsets. This beautiful vista is framed by the architecture of the building and reflected in the swimming pool. There are four bedrooms located on the ground floor, including one master bedroom, plus two more master bedrooms positioned on the rooftop level. There is a choice of semi-formal and casual open-air living and dining areas on levels, as well as a ground floor entertainment room and a rooftop TV room / study.

Bedrooms

Ground Level Bedrooms
To the left of the living and dining area are the three principle ensuite bedrooms, all of which are air-conditioned. The downstairs master bedroom faces the rice terraces and features floor-to-ceiling glass doors that can be fully opened. The room is furnished with a king bed, and there is a dressing area to one side, a mirrored wall and leather-clad wardrobes. A kilim floor rug adds a splash of colour. The expansive, elongated bathroom has a skylight roof and is partially open at one end, allowing the cool breezes to permeate. It is fitted with a circular concrete bathtub, double washbasins and a pendulous rainshower that hangs above the tub.

Outside of the glass doors on the deck to the pool area is a semi-private round daybed for reading and general relaxation. The other two en-suite bedrooms face the flat lawn and again the glass doors can be fully opened. Both bedrooms have king beds, built in wardrobes and desks. The bathrooms are similar to the downstairs master bathroom.

Opposite the entertainment room is an air-conditioned childrens bedroom with twin beds and a trundle bed. Next to this is an air-conditioned room which is used for storage and office. Both of these rooms share a large bathroom. Here, a square polished concrete bathtub with a rainshower is flanked by a pandanus tree that reaches up towards a semi-open glass roof.

Roof Top Level Bedrooms
The rooftop of Villa Mana supports two more master bedrooms, a TV room / study, and an abundance of open-air space for lounging, dining, reclining and relishing the extraordinary 180 views over the rice fields to the sea and the distant mountains. Sunsets from this lofty perch are awesome! The breezy roof terrace presents an open-air sitting area with a huge cushioned built-in daybed under a pergola roof. The concrete deck is also furnished with a number of daybeds and umbrellas, and a wooden outdoor table for 12, which is perfect for sunset cocktails. The two air-conditioned master bedrooms feature walls of glass and Chinese-styled sliding doors. Both rooms are furnished with king size beds crafted in leather, huge mirrors and black lamps.

Each bedroom also showcases a padded screen wall cloaked in black and gold silk, and a chair in the same fabric. Each huge ensuite bathroom incorporates a dressing area with mirror-fronted wardrobes, a central polished concrete vanity unit with sunken sculptured washbasins, a walk-in rainshower with timber decking underfoot, and a deep Japanese wooden bathtub for two, fashioned in suar wood. The toilet in each bathroom is situated in a large cubicle hidden by soft white drapes. The air-conditioned TV room / study is furnished with a black leather sofa and ottoman, and a glass topped desk with a chair and a reading lamp. This spacious room is also equipped with a large flat screen TV and DVD player.

Living and Dining Area
The entrance bridge leads into the reception area, open-air living and dining areas and pool deck. From here, guests eyes will be drawn to the highlight of Villa Mana; the amazing view of Balis famous rice terraces and, in the evenings, magical sunsets. This beautiful vista is framed by the architecture of the building and reflected in the swimming pool. The main dining area has a large wooden table that can seat 12, and to one side of this is the main sitting area, wired for sound with a Bose CD player and comfortably furnished with deeply cushioned sofas and a coffee table. To the front is a more casual seating area that segues into the timber pool deck area spanning the expanse of the villa.

Entertainment Room
Further down, beyond the kitchen and approached by a narrow high passageway with black timber walls, is an enormous air-conditioned entertainment room / childrens playroom furnished with a massive sofa, armchairs and a lazy chair, and equipped with a 2.3 x 1.2 metre satellite projection screen TV/ DVD player, Fuball (table football), and shelves brimming with films, books, toys and games.

Kitchen
To the right of the living room is an open plan kitchen, a chefs dream in black, separated from the living area by a floor-to-ceiling river rock wall. The kitchen has state-of-the-art cooking facilities including an imported oven and five-burner hob. It is fitted with a central island, a black mirrored splashback and black cabinets; even the refrigerator is black! Guests are welcome to cook at any time together with the chef or on their own.

Swimming Pool
Behind the kitchen and bordering the pool is a casual dining table with long bench seats accommodating up to 12. There is also a casual sitting area here furnished with a sofa and two chairs. The polished black concrete floor extends to the timber pool deck, which is furnished with all-weather rattan sunbeds and sofa-style daybeds, and dappled by five beautiful century-old white flowering frangipani trees. The 18 x 7 metre pool is designed in the style of Japanese onsen baths with four infinity edges over which the water appears to cascade into the breathtaking rice field view beyond. At one end of the pool is a bale covered seating area and behind this is an additional open-air bathroom with outdoor shower. On the far side of the pool is a broad wooden staircase flanked by a pair of coconut palms, descending to a lower level. This is a great entrance for a wedding. The steps can be used as seats forming an amphitheatre, leading onto a huge flat lawn the size of a football pitch, bordered by flowering shrubs and trees and open to the rice terrace vista. The property is surrounded on three sides by natural river stone buttress walls that rise up to six metres. A decked walkway across the front of the villa leads to a secret spot, a huge half moon daybed, shaded by an ancient frangipani tree with red blossoms.
