Description

Welcome to Villa Coraffan, a newly completed holiday property in Bali's Canggu district, conceived with a desire to create the most inspiring base from which to enjoy the area's magnificent views. Completely surrounded by rice paddies, Villa Coraffan was meticulously designed with an eye for modern, tropical elegance.

White Palimanan stone walls and rich Merbau wooden floors were chosen for each room to fuse the dignified tranquility of a temple with earthy warmth. Coraffan's gardens feature an array of exotic trees and plants carefully selected and nurtured to honor the spirit of the island's renowned beauty. Coraffan is as ideal for solitude and relaxation as it is for parties or other social functions.

Set around a five-by-17-meter infinity pool, each of Coraffan's bedrooms has a spectacular view. The villa has an open-air living room with a sound system and equipped bar. Other common areas include a fitness room, a detached viewing platform ideal for morning meditation or yoga as well as late afternoon cocktails, and a detached dining area surrounded by balconies. Coraffan's air-conditioned TV room has a full bathroom so that it can be used as a fifth bedroom if needed. Coraffan also has a fully appointed kitchen with staff quarters and a parking area with a security post.

The Neighborhood

Canggu is located in the northernmost part of the Kuta district. Coraffan's neighbourhood is accessible along Jalan Pantai Bolong, also known as Jalan Hotel Tugu for the distinguished hotel at the end of the road. Villa Coraffan is set back by 200 meters from this road, accessible through a private lane. The Villa is only 20 minutes away from Seminyak, though a new road from Canggu Tua to Batu Beliq will cut the time to Seminyak's Petitengget area, (where the Oberoi Hotel is), in half.

Canggu's landscape is dominated by gently rolling hills in varying shades of green, depending on the stage of the rice harvest, and closer to the ocean, pastures dotted with grazing cattle. Under moonlight, Canggu's landscape is breathtaking as the midnight blue and the softly lit green of the terraced rice fields create a dreamlike vista.

Most of Canggu's residents earn their living either from farming or fishing, and the government has designated large parcels of the area as "green zones" to avoid the traffic snarls and other conflicts between residential and commercial development experienced in high-density tourist areas of the island. The two main beaches in the area are Pantai Batu Bolong and Pantai Batu Mejan, commonly known as Echo Beach.

"The Echo" is very popular among more experienced surfers, while Batu Bolong is more swimmer-friendly, (as long as you don't go in very far). Both beaches are approximately one kilometer away from Coraffan. Guests often enjoy watching Echo Beach's spectacular sunsets over a cold beer or a glass of wine at The Beach House restaurant. With the newly opened Canggu International Club, the first of its kind in Bali, and a few international schools in the neighbourhood, Canggu is becoming the preferred location for those seeking sophistication, privacy and peace.

Accommodation

The living room. Coraffan's open-air living room lets guests stretch out in fan-cooled shade without losing any connection to the pool, the garden or Canggu's magnificent scenery beyond. By sundown, the room comes into its own with warmly textured lighting and a well bar that will bring all the guests together to kick off the evening's activities.

The dining room, which can be as open to the elements as you wish, gives guests a dignified setting to complement our chef's culinary delights. There are balconies off three sides of the dining room, where guests like to congregate before and/or after each meal to sip cocktails and chat under the stars.

This master bedroom suite features a wraparound balcony as well as a crow's nest terrace offering a glimpse of the Indian Ocean -- the perfect place to sip your morning coffee. The suite also includes a partially open garden-style bathroom and a TV nook. The room can be cooled with either air-conditioning or a ceiling fan.

The second bedroom features a spacious, partially open bathroom and a balcony overlooking Coraffan's zen-inspired fish pond. The room is cooled with air-conditioning.

The third bedroom has a balcony overlooking a private corner of Coraffan's gardens, a crow's nest terrace and a spacious, open-air bathroom. The room can be cooled with air-conditioning or ceiling fan.

The fourth bedroom has a balcony with a 180-degree view of Canggu's rice fields and a crow's nest terrace overlooking the entire property as well as the surrounding terraced land. This bedroom features a spacious, garden-style bathroom. The room can be cooled with air-conditioning or ceiling fan.

TV / Internet / fifth bedroom offers guests a cool and secluded break from the sunshine, appropriate for surfing the Internet, watching DVDs on our 42-inch plasma screen television or just stretching out with a novel. This room has a full bathroom, giving guests the option of turning it into a fifth bedroom, which our staff can do by setting up our double sofa bed.

Coraffan's fitness room is equipped with a Universal weight set and a static bike/cross trainer. This room is also fitted out with air-conditioning and a bathroom with a shower.

Coraffan's kitchen is spacious and fully equipped with a four-burner stove, oven, microwave and large-capacity refrigerator/freezer.

Staffs

The villa has a full-time staff consisting of 9 staff members (four housekeepers including the villa Manager Mr. Made, one chef, one gardener, two security guards and one engineer). Coraffan can arrange for extra staffing if needed. Our housekeepers are available to service the bedroom suites each morning and late afternoon. Most of the staff speak at least a basic level of English and have previous experience at 5-star hotels and villas.

The staff generally keep regular working hours with at least three members present at any given time, though we aim to be as flexible as possible and can adjust schedules in accordance with our guests' needs. Coraffan's chef, Mr.Ketut had prepared meals in some of Bali's best-known western restaurants including Planet Hollywood, Legian Beach Hotel and Tragia Restaurant in Nusa Dua prior to joining us and is also adept at Asian cuisines.
