A fabulous article on Villa Samuan in the latest edition of Custom Homes Magazine - “A Living Masterpiece in the Heart of Seminyak” (See link below)

In October 2019, Patrick and his friend Daniel Frichot booked Villa Samuan for what was meant to be a relaxing holiday. They had visited Bali before, but this

From an exchange rate perspective, there has rarely been a better time to visit Bali.

The Australian dollar is currently trading at 1 AUD = 10,767.9 IDR — one of the strongest positions it has held against the Indonesian rupiah in the past decade. If you’re considering a holiday, Bali offers exceptional value right now. And if you’ve already booked your trip, it may be wise to purchase some IDR in advance to lock in this favourable rate and partially hedge against any future currency fluctuations.

The Timeless Guardians of Villa Samuan

At Villa Samuan, the statues that grace its peaceful gardens are more than mere decoration, they are silent guardians of Bali’s ancient spiritual heritage. It is a rare privilege to care for these remarkable antiquities, each with its own story deeply rooted in Southeast Asian culture.

The collection features a range of Hindu deities, mostly dating from the 17th to 19th centuries. Among them is Ganesha, the elephant-headed god of wisdom, a common figure in Balinese temples. Another prominent statue represents a goddess, Durga or Parvati, reflecting divine feminine energy. These volcanic stone carvings exhibit traditional Balinese craftsmanship, with intricate details that emphasize spiritual symbolism.

A Buddha statue, sitting in dhyana mudra (meditation), speaks to the Buddhist influence in Bali, a reminder of the island’s historical ties to both Hinduism and Buddhism. The Buddha’s peaceful expression is timeless, inviting contemplation and reverence.

One of the villa’s standout pieces is an older Ganesha statue, from the late 18th century. Its deep patina and wear, suggest its age. Proudly standing purposeful and firm against the elements, for hundreds of years. Other figures in the collection, representing warriors and protectors from Balinese adaptations of Hindu epics, hint at the island’s rich narrative traditions.

My favourite among the statues at Villa Samuan, is a serene depiction of Saraswati the Hindu goddess of knowledge, wisdom, and the arts. In Balinese Hinduism, Saraswati is deeply revered as the embodiment of learning and creativity, and her presence is a reminder of the importance of both spiritual and intellectual growth. Saraswati symbolizes the pursuit of knowledge and artistic expression. The statue at the villa, with its calm and contemplative demeanor, perfectly complements the peaceful haven that Villa Samuan represents. The craftsmanship, likely dating from the 18th century, captures Saraswati’s timeless grace, making her a fitting figure in a uniquely tranquil place.

These statues, blending Hindu and Buddhist symbolism, have been collected not just for their artistic value but as embodiments of the island’s spiritual past. Preserving them ensures that future generations can experience the profound connection between Bali’s cultural identity and its ancient faiths.

For those who walk through Villa Samuan’s gardens, these statues serve as both artistic wonders and spiritual guides, safeguarding the villa’s peaceful atmosphere and the island’s enduring cultural legacy.

The lush tropical gardens at Villa Samuan are filled with a spectacular array of indegenous Balinese species including native coconut trees. As beautiful as they are, no-one wants a coconut landing on their breakfast plate. (Not from a great height anyway.) So twice a year we climb the trees and carefully remove the young coconuts.

Young coconut is a delicacy in Bali and it’s a special time in the kitchen as a whole range of salads, curries and other local dishes are made from this delectable fruit.
