Welcome to Villa Iskandar, our beautiful four-bedroom riverside
home in South-west Bali; contemporary in design with a healthy dose
of Chinoiserie adding the style and mysticism of the Orient into
the mix. We chose this location for its natural beauty and rural
charm and of course its proximity to the beach and the Nirwana Golf
Course, while Seminyak’s good times and shopping are only a
13-kilometres drive away. At Iskandar we offer you five-star
facilities and superb service from a full team of caring staff
including a manager, butlers, and a chef, so that that you will
have no real need to go out for meals or entertainment, although we
do provide the complimentary services of a car and driver for up to
10 hours a day should you wish to explore beyond the villa.
Rooms
Each of our four bedrooms is tastefully decorated with antique
Chinese furnishings and features hardwood floors, queen-size beds,
ensuite bathrooms (two of which are semi-open-air), and views over
the river. There are dining options for both formal indoor feasts
and relaxed alfresco meals on the terrace. The focal point,
however, is our 15-metre infinity edge pool that looks out over the
river.
Restaurant & Food
The personal chef at Villa Iskandar is at your service to prepare
daily breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The villa offers an extensive suggestion menu of delicious
home-style meals featuring Asian and international dishes to cater
to all tastes, with an excellent selection of vegetarian and
children’s options. The chef is also more than happy to tailor
meals to accommodate any special dietary requirements. A stay is
not complete without sampling some local dishes such as pepes ikan
(fish steamed in banana leaf), satay ayam (chicken satay on bamboo
skewers) or pisang goreng (fried banana) served with ice cream.
Groceries and beverages are charged at cost price plus 20%. Guests
will be requested to provide grocery money in advance, and the
staff will do the shopping and keep the receipts for reference. To
make the most of the kitchen and give staff time to shop, it is a
good idea to plan meals the evening before or with a minimum of
five hours in advance.
Activities & Sport
Villa Iskandar’s manager have a wealth of information about nearby
places of interest and will help arrange transport and make any
bookings required. Do also ask the staff about the local area. Many
of them live nearby and will be able to give an interesting insight
into some of the fascinating aspects of Bali life. Feel like a body
scrub or massage? Just ask our staff to bring the spa services.
There are various recommended deluxe treatments carried out
riverside or in the privacy of your own room by fully trained
therapists from a reputable local spa (extra charges will
apply).
Directions, How to get
there
Villa Iskandar is situated in a jungle-fringed river gorge close to
the village of Beraban in Bali’s Tabanan regency, which is known as
Bali’s ‘rice bowl’ due to its vast terraced rice fields. Just four
kilometres away is the famed Tanah Lot sea temple and the
award-winning Greg Norman-designed Nirwana Bali Golf Course. The
nearest surf beaches, including Echo Beach, are about eight
kilometres from the villa.
