The Istana boasts a total of 5 bedroom suites (each with double beds) that can sleep up to a total of ten adults. In addition, the games and children’s wing can sleep up to four small children and infants and two domestic staff. Looking at the central building – it’s in a rough “H” shape; with each end of the “H” possessing a bedroom. Looking at the ocean, the two symmetrical wings attached to the living room accommodate dining room to the left (the south), and the television room to the right (the north).

When the trade winds blow, a massive swell crashes onto the surrounding reef, crafting waves that attract worldwide surfing attention; the breaks are rated the fifth best in the world. Uluwatu beach is only a ten minute walk from the villa. Uluwatu temple, one of the most revered temple’s on the island, is just a five minute drive away. A dedicated team of over 20 professional staff makes this magnificent luxury villa your home in the Island of the Gods.

The master bedroom is located within the guesthouse, which is separate from and slightly more elevated than the main building, and set back so as to offer complete privacy. It has its own entrance way, parking facilities, and private swimming pool. The L-shape pool is two and a half meters deep and is faced with a black volcanic stone. It has its own outdoor shower and lounge chairs.

The master bedroom/guesthouse which is built largely from wood, and enhanced with a tropical modern twist is divided into a covered deck, living area, and a bedroom with an expansive ensuite bathroom. The master-suite looks out over the property, and is enclosed on either side by sliding louvered glass doors. A spectacular view of the ocean is provided from the large bed which is the center piece of the room. The expansive ensuite bathroom is fashioned in cream terrazzo and fitted with a sunken bathtub. There is also a walk-in shower and a toilet hidden behind frosted glass. Twin marble washbasins rest on a long vanity unit complete with large wall mirrors. Wardrobes with mirrored doors present plenty of hanging and storage space. Glass doors open to an outside walled area complete with an outdoor rainshower and a cushioned daybed. Comfortable chairs on the Master Suite’s deck afford one a view of looking directly out from over the private pool to the bale and the horizon behind.

Garden Suite

The two garden suites (on the east side of the main building) feature private gardens along with their other amenities. Both suite entries are decorated with carved limestone blocks representing traditional Ikat weavings from the islands of Flores and Sumba. Each of the matching suites is comprised of a bedroom and indoor and outdoor Bali-style ensuite bathrooms. All of the bedroom walls are done in white leading up to the high cathedral timber-lined ceilings with ceiling fans, and air-conditioning. The garden suites are equipped with flat screen TVs with surround sound and DVD players and small stereos and each garden suite is complemented by a private walled sun-lounging area with a raised wooden deck and daybeds for relaxing.

Ocean Suite

Each of the two matching Ocean Suites (the bedrooms in the main building on the west side) is comprised of a bedroom with a capacious walk-in closet, and indoor and outdoor Bali-style bathrooms. A dramatic backdrop wall acts as magnificent head board. The walls are dressed in white, with natural colored soft furnishings complimenting the high cathedral timber-lined ceilings with ceiling fans, and air-conditioning. Both suites also boast extensive ensuite bathrooms with twin basin vanities, bathtubs, and indoor and outdoor showers. The ocean suites each open up onto the front lawn and feature dramatic ocean backdrops.

Set back approximately thirty meters from the cliff face, The Istana sits within a tremendous gated property and is composed of two swimming pools, a large dinning and relaxing bale, a games and children wing, and a private guest house (containing the master bedroom), and the main house/building.

The operational team of the Istana, over 25 people in total, possess extensive back of house facilities (offices, storage, changing rooms, etc) located on the ground floor of a building on the north east corner of the estate. The upper floor of this building is the games and children’s wing.

The games and children wing features one large room with a pool table and video game corner (with both Wii and PS3 machines). There are also three other smaller rooms (and bathrooms), one of which has four bunk beds for children. One room for domestic staff (who may be travelling with guests or locally hired and given overnight charges) featuring two small beds, and another room which can be arranged to host children’s cots or other configurations.

A restaurant grade kitchen is located on the south east side of the estate. Covered parking hosts the 3 cars that come with the Istana (one ‘beach car’ and the Alphard) and also provide for additional covered and non-covered slots for additional guest vehicles.

Within the main house are a living room, dining room, TV room and lounge, and four very similar bedroom suites (apart from the master suite which stands in its own separate building). All of the guest buildings are single-story and open-air with rich teakwood floors, inspiring a natural ambiance, while maintaining and accentuating the spectacular view and modern design.
