It is difficult to believe the bustle of the Legian’s best shopping street can’t be heard once inside the quiet oasis of Villa Mandalay. Set amidst a glorious, large mature garden and surrounded by tall palms and teak trees, this centrally located five bed room home balances the best of urban life with calm tranquillity.
Approaching the house from the street you have absolutely no idea what you are about to feast your eyes upon. An unpromising driveway ends at a large rustic wooden door, then like Alice in Wonderland, upon entering you are overwhelmed by the paradise seen before you. Welcoming you is a stone elephant spouting water from its trunk into a lily pond beside a path leading through the garden towards a charming, verandah villa.
There are three bedrooms in the main house and two guest cottages - perfect for privacy if friends are sharing. The kitchen is new, modern and fully equipped. Two spacious open plan living areas with large French windows invite indoors the outdoor greenery.
The house is truly a ‘home’ and one of the nicest on the island for this reason; it is used to being lived in by a family so it benefits from personal features such as the art collection, extensive library, music selection, film collection and a variety of board games.
The central location of Villa Mandalay is unbeatable. Within a stone’s throw of Legian’s vibrant shopping stretch, the street positively bursts with local life and colors. An easy stroll to restaurants, vibrant nightlife, funky stores, brilliant beauty parlours, and specialist massage salons - guests rarely need to stray far from home.
Only a few minutes by car are the beach where the refreshing sea breezes clear stressful thoughts away. The surf is excellent for swimming and boogie boarding, and the beach is ideal for viewing local life. The famous sunsets are best enjoyed with cocktails at one of the chic beachside restaurants or bars.
