Bali Villas

Most villas in Bali take personal privacy into account, and this is at harmony with nature. In recent years the island of the Gods has become the site for many villas, or a cluster of villas referred sometimes as a boutique resort. Villas, however, have different approach. "Nowadays, modern touches are an important component in the design of villas in Bali," said Popo Danes, a reputable Balinese architect who has designed a plenty of villas in some of Bali's more remote locations.

Details of architecture of many Balinese villas have beautifully combined the traditional and modern elements and features.

There is one feature almost always seen: Balinese traditional gate angkul-angkul , which usually gives access to Balinese compounds in many places of the island, has been utilized to strengthen the traditional senses of the villa building.

The presence of angkul-angkul has given a particular atmosphere of village living in many villa resorts. Almost all villa designers' in Bali, seemingly, consider angkul-angkul as a standard feature for Balinese designed villa. Once you pass the villa's angkul-angkul , a serene garden awaits you. A garden is apparently another 'compulsory zone of beauty' for Bali-based villa designers. Private pools have been another luxurious trend in villa design. Nowadays, it seems that a villa is not a 'real' villa without a private pool. A villa, by this very definition must be small and limited. The only similarity between many villas in Bali is the level of luxury and excellence.
