Villa E2 at Melasti: A Four-Bedroom Villa above the Ocean in Uluwatu

A long terrace runs out to a pool, and beyond it the Indian Ocean fills the horizon. Villa E2 is a four-bedroom pavilion of pale stone and timber on a 1,380 sqm plot in the Melasti complex, above the southern Bukit coast.

Melasti is a small complex on 3.2 hectares of hillside on the Bukit peninsula, with a canyon on one side, forest on the other and the Indian Ocean beyond. Villa E2 is a low pavilion of 498 sqm on a 1,380 sqm plot, with 311 sqm of terraces and pool turned towards the sea.

The architecture is quiet. A long, flat roof overhangs the terrace, the walls are pale stone and timber, and the interior follows the Japandi idea: Japanese restraint with Scandinavian warmth. Natural materials, little plastic, wooden and woven furniture, and perforated timber screens that throw patterns of light across the walls.

Large sliding glass doors open the living room, the kitchen and the dining table onto the terrace and the pool, and from the terrace the ocean fills the horizon. The deck is made for morning coffee, for loungers in the afternoon and for the colour of the sky at the end of the day.

There are four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Two face the ocean and open directly onto a private terrace. A further room can serve as a study or a children’s room, and the plan keeps the service areas, the garage shelter and the household kitchen away from the living spaces.

The complex has its own restaurant and view bar, a 25-metre pool, a gym and a spa, and it sits among some of the best-known names on the Bukit: Bulgari, Alila Villas, Six Senses and Karma Kandara are all close by. The beaches of Melasti and Padang Padang are a short drive away.

Handover is planned in about three to four months. The land is leased for 37 years, with a priority right to extend for a further 50, which the developer puts at 87 years in all. Your advisor will confirm the terms, the date and the documents with you.
