The St. Regis Bali Resort

The alluring newly redefined villa experience is one of absolute privacy and seductive indoor and outdoor living. In Gardenia Villas, a private entrance is adorned with tropical plants and small, sculpted aquatic creatures—ducks, turtles, and frogs. Exquisite living continues outside in a glorious split-level private garden with a private pool, an inviting Bale Bengong (an Indonesian style gazebo), sun loungers and a table for romantic dining.

Each villa is open and airy with high ceilings and mahogany wood floors. Throughout these spacious hideaways, the beauty is as much in the details of prominently displayed Balinese art and brilliant splashes of color as it is in the rich cotton sofa with hand-embroidered throw pillows, antique wood coffee table, and wooden shutters that gently filter the sunshine. Indoor lighting adjusts to complement any mood, and the lamps themselves are works of art.

Placing the finest technology at guests’ fingertips, each villa features an interactive 55-inch flat screen LCD TV with a DVD player and a Bose surround sound system. A well-stocked bar and dining table allow for entertaining, which is particularly effortless in Gardenia Villas thanks to private butler’s quarters with separate entrances.

In the master bedroom, a plush king-size bed with 300-thread-count fine Egyptian Ploh linens and a feather down comforter beckons after a day in the sun. Its design conveniently places cooling fan controls and avant-garde spotlight reading lamps by either side. Day or night, simply press a button for automatically controlled blackout curtains decorated with a hand-embroidered paisley pattern. A spacious walk-in wardrobe, wooden writing table, and large mirror with hand-carved frame complete this welcoming space.

An opulent bathroom includes a spacious standalone bathtub or standing stall with a Balinese rain shower, as well as dual vanities and fine lighting. Stocked with exclusive Remède bath products, it further offers an LCD TV.
