Bedrooms
There are five air-conditioned bedrooms at Villa Cara, including an opulent master suite. The four guestrooms are located at pool level while the master is located on the top floor with fabulous views. Each bedroom features a hardwood floor and is furnished with a king-size bed, arm chairs, chests, and bedside tables. Two of the guestrooms are situated beside the pool deck with their beds oriented towards the ocean view, while another has its own private terrace. Dressing areas are fitted with wardrobes and storage space. Each bedroom has a marble ensuite bathroom fitted with a standing rainshower, a toilet, and a vanity unit with either single or twin washbasins. The master bathroom and one of the guestrooms has the additional luxury of a bathtub, and one guestroom has an open-air shower. Two additional air-conditioned rooms (without ensuite bathrooms) serve as extra bedrooms for nannies or children. Each is furnished with a 1.8-metre-wide bed. The air-conditioned lounge room is equipped with a pull-down 1.5-metre wall bed. Living & Dining Areas
The open plan living & dining room is located on the upper floor and blessed with stunning sea views. Hugely spacious, and equipped with both air-conditioning and ceiling fans, the room runs the full length of the top floor and is complemented by floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open onto a covered balcony presided over by an elevated relaxation pavilion. Positioned at one end of the room and separated by the stairwell, the living area is furnished with a large, segmented U-shaped sofa and a coffee table, and equipped with a home theatre set up incorporating a 50-inch satellite channel TV, DVD player and speakers. The dining area is on the other side of the stairwell, furnished with a teakwood table for 16. Adjacent to the dining area is an open-plan feature kitchen fitted with a black granite worktop / service counter and fully equipped with a four burner hob, extractor fan and hood, imported oven, double refrigerator, microwave, and everything else that is needed for the preparation of delicious meals. A cosy air-conditioned lounge room is situated beside the pool deck, accessed by sliding glass doors and furnished with a sofa, armchair and a coffee table, offering a quiet, cool place to chill out and relax. Ornately carved doors within the room slide open to reveal a pull-down 1.5-metre wall bed. Outdoor Areas
The villa is built around three sides of a 15 x 7 metre swimming pool, set within an inner courtyard on the lower level with a breathtaking outlook over the ocean and the Jimbaran hills. The pool is bordered by a broad timber deck, shaded by the canopy of the upper floor, which is supported by pillars to create a colonnaded area. One end of the deck is furnished with chairs, sunloungers and a small coffee table, while at the other end is a huge L-shaped sofa, big enough for a large group of people to congregate. Beyond this is a small garden area with a flat lawn and a spacious bale relaxation pavilion fitted with a mattress and cushions. There is an open-air pool shower and a guest toilet and shower room adjacent to the pool. The breezy rooftop terrace on the highest level comprises two adjacent spaces on two different levels, one of which is furnished with sunloungers. Open to the sky, and bordered by orange flowering crown of thorn plants and cascading vines, these adjoining terraces are perfect for sundowners, barbeques, gatherings and small parties. On a clear day, there is a glorious sunset view across the bay with Bali’s mountains as a backdrop. To the north, the narrow isthmus that links the Bukit Peninsula with the rest of the island is clearly visible, with the view extending past the crescent-shaped Jimbaran Bay, the beach, and the airport runway to Bali's sunset coast. On the eastern side of the isthmus, Tanjung Benoa, Benoa Harbour and Sanur are also easily perceptible. The scene is particularly spectacular at night enhanced by the lights of Kuta, Seminyak and Canggu. On a clear day, the awesome vista takes in Bali’s chain of volcanoes from the mighty Mt Agung in the east to the distant volcanoes of Java.
