Villa Raj

Welcome to Majapahit Beach Villas

Bordered by rice fields and coconut groves, Majapahit Beach Villas is a three-villa complex near Ketewel on Bali’s southeast coast that blends contemporary style with modern comfort, and design elements with traditional artistry and symbolism. Each villa has a private pool and jacuzzi, with four bedroom Villa Maya in an absolute beachfront position, with a separate honeymoon suite enjoying wide sea views. Three bedroom Villa Raj and Villa Nataraja are set back from the beach with sea views from the upstairs balconies. The fully staffed villas can be rented in any combination of rooms to suit any sized group, and are especially well suited for large weddings.



About Majapahit Beach Villas

Welcome to Majapahit Beach Villas, an enclave of three beach front villas located on Bali’s southeast coast with landscaping and contemporary architecture inspired by the ancient Javanese Majapahit Empire.

The four-bedroom, absolutely beach front Villa Maya, and the three-bedroom Villa Nataraja and Villa Raj are all similar in layout with large and comfortable bedrooms, private walled gardens complete with private swimming pools, indoor jacuzzis, massage pavilions and relaxation balé, whilst sophisticated decor, old photographs and a generous smattering of tribal objets d’art fill the villas with the wonderment of the East Indies.

Where the villas differ from each other is that Villa Maya has a larger garden and sits on the water’s edge, offering stunning views of the sea and offshore islands. An adjoining door also connects it to a traditional Javanese, one-bedroom wooden joglo (also on the water’s edge) which has been renovated to the highest levels of comfort with honeymooners and romance in mind. With its own pool and a large lawn area and Hindu Temple, you would be hard pressed to find a more romantic wedding venue on the island. And while Villas Raj and Nataraja are set slightly back from the water, they offer sea views from the upstairs balconies, and have shared access to a seaside relaxation deck so they can take full advantage of the views from the water’s edge.

Within the Majapahit complex is a boutique which sells traditional handicrafts, clothes, beachwear, sarongs and silver; all reflecting the same exquisite style and taste that you will find in the villas. This is the perfect place to browse for that little piece of Bali (and Majapahit) to take home for yourself – or for your friends and family.

Service is something we pride ourselves on and guests can enjoy relaxed indoor and outdoor gourmet living with personal butler service, superb cuisine and a level of sophistication that even top hotels strive to provide. Weddings are our specialty and with a combined total of 10 rooms on offer (plus extra beds for children), many of your most important guests can all be housed in the one location, making the happy event even more special.

The glistening black sands along this remote stretch of coastline are popular only with surfers and local residents, meaning privacy is a given. Yet if you do feel the need to venture further afield, then restaurants and shops galore can be found in nearby Sanur, and the villas are only a scenic 19 km from Ubud, Bali’s cultural capital.



Villa layout

Securely situated within a three-villa enclave, Villa Raj comprises a three-bedroom, two-storey house and private walled garden complete with 12-metre swimming pool. The master bedroom is situated upstairs while the two guest bedrooms are positioned downstairs flanking the fan-cooled living/dining room, which opens directly to the pool and garden. A notable feature is the double jacuzzi that extends into the living space and overflows into the pool. At the far end of the pool is a massage pavilion and in one corner of the garden is a large balé relaxation pavilion.



Living areas

Villa Raj’s main living and dining room welcomes in the outdoors – and even a section of the swimming pool-via folding glass doors. This is the social hub of the villa; fan cooled and outfitted with comfy chairs, a flat screen satellite TV, and a dining table for six alongside a pond filled with fat happy koi fish. The room is completed with artwork, antique carvings, two ornately carved doors and a funky open staircase spiralling up to the master suite.

With its private, 12-metre swimming pool, double jacuzzi, dedicated massage pavilion, sun loungers and large relaxation gazebo fitted with cushioned seating and hung with billowing white drapes, Villa Raj’s garden has something to please everyone.

A walled pathway leads to a 13-metre-wide timber deck with steps leading down to the black-sand beach. This area is shared with guests staying at neighbouring Villa Nataraja, and is a place to chill out within a thatch-roofed balé or on a large wooden sofa beneath the tall coconut palms and gaze at the awesome view of Bali’s south-east coastline and Nusa Penida Island.



Bedrooms

Master

The opulent, air-conditioned, upper-floor master suite is regally decked out in dark woods and rich fabrics with a king-size bed and framed photos from Bali’s golden age. Sliding glass doors lead to a wide, shaded balcony overlooking the pool and with glimpses of the ocean accompanied by the sound of the pounding surf. The ensuite bathroom consists of two sumptuous areas – one with a bath, shower and twin basins, the other with WC and washbasin – linked by a timber walkway and enclosed with attractive fretwork screens.

Guestrooms

Two mirror-image air-conditioned guest bedrooms flank the living room accessed internally via magnificent carved doors or alternatively from the garden through glass doors which should be thrown open wide during the day to enjoy a lazy tropical experience. Each room is furnished with a king-sized bed under a soaring wood-and-bamboo-lined ceiling. The sexy, semi-open-air bathrooms are a dream in black polished concrete under a pergola roof, with seductive hidden lighting, sunken tub, rain shower and tropical plants.


Additional facilities

Full back-up diesel powered electrical generator; barbecue; safety deposit box.


The locale

Majapahit Beach Villas are located at Pabean Beach, near Ketewel, on Bali’s south-east coast. Bounded by the River Wos, rice fields, tobacco plantations, papaya, banana and coconut groves, the area is blessed with spectacular views extending across the ocean towards the beaches of Sanur and Nusa Dua, the islands of Lembongan, Ceningan and Penida, and the mountains of East Bali. The glistening black sands along this stretch of coastline are popular with surfers and beachcombers.

There are plenty of local warungs (eateries), and international restaurants and shops galore can be found just 11km away in Sanur. The villas are only a scenic 19km from Ubud, Bali’s cultural capital, and a short drive from the villages of Mas, Sukawati, Batubulan and Batuan, famous for their traditional handcrafts and fascinating to visit.
