The three-bedroom Dea Amy is fully self contained and completely private with its own garden, swimming pool, living & dining pavilion and kitchen, while sharing the common facilities of a spa, gym, children’s playground and staff service area with the other Dea Villas. Villa Dea Amy can be rented on its own or in conjunction with one or more of the other Dea Villas, offering guests anything up to a 16-bedroom renting option.
Villa Dea Amy is an exotic blend of old and new, showcasing how the traditional wooden ‘joglo’ houses of Java can be upgraded with the modern comforts of the 21st century. Presenting three bedrooms and an exquisite, hand-carved, century-old, Javanese ‘joglo’ as its focal point, Dea Amy comprises a series of single-storey buildings resting upon three levels within a tranquil tropical water garden
There are three air-conditioned bedrooms at Villa Dea Amy, each of which is complemented by a dressing area and a semi-open-air ensuite bathroom. Each is thoughtfully equipped with a safe deposit box, a 32-inch satellite-channel TV and DVD player, and an iPod docking station.
The master suite is located at the highest level and presides over the property with a private terrace at the front, accessed via glass doors. The terrace is bordered by a pond, complete with bubbling water features, and furnished with a bench and a double sunlounger, enabling guests to look out over the water garden and swimming pool below.. A king-size bed is built into the centre of the room and surrounded by netted drapes, while a flat screen TV and DVD player is provided for the guests’ entertainment. Behind the bed is a dressing area fitted with wardrobes, shelves, a built-in dressing table and a mirror. To one side of the suite is a semi-open-air bathroom with a pergola roof draped in flowering thunbergia.
Sharing the same building as the master suite but with a separate entrance, is a guest bedroom furnished with twin beds, a desk, fitted wardrobes, a built-in dressing table, and a glass lantern, which hangs from an ornate beam. The partially open-air ensuite bathroom is fitted with a walk-in rain shower and toilet, and a river rock bathtub open to the sky underneath a fragrant frangipani tree.
Another guest bedroom is positioned at the lowest level, accessed via eight stone steps, which lead down from the living and dining pavilion with ponds on either side. This standalone suite presents a king-size bed built into the core of another antique joglo, which extends into the trapezium-shaped roof within a tent of netted drapes. More glass doors on the side open to a small terrace furnished with two chairs and a table with views of the neighbouring rice fields via peepholes in the garden wall.
The open-sided living and dining pavilion presents tropical living betwixt the pool deck and the ornamental pond. The sitting area is furnished with comfortable sofas, armchairs, and a coffee table, while antique statues have been fondly placed in well-lit settings that show them off to their best advantage. The dedicated dining area is furnished with large dining table together with bench seats and chairs that will accommodate up to 10 or 12 dinner guests. As the gas bubbles up from below the flames jump around creating mesmerising shadows at night, especially when viewed through the fretwork of the palimanan stone frieze adjacent to the dining table.
Positioned to one side of the dining area is a small self-contained kitchen, fully equipped with an imported oven and hob, a large refrigerator, and everything else that the chef needs in order to prepare delicious meals, in accordance with the whims of his guests.
Located in a communal area close to the entrance to Villa Dea Amy is the Dea Spa, offering an indoor treatment room with two massage beds, and an outside bed for wet treatments. This is supported by a rest area, a six-person sauna, an outdoor Jacuzzi, lockers, showers and toilets. Here, skilled therapists combine beauty and well-being with traditional treatments such as mandi lulur, reflexology, or Balinese massage designed to relax tired muscles and relieve stress while awakening mind, body and soul.
An impressive, air-conditioned, glass-fronted gym is located adjacent to the spa, sharing the spa’s facilities of lockers, showers and toilets. The gym is fully equipped with a Power Plate for acceleration training, an exercise bike, a bench, weights, a body solid multi gym and a satellite channel TV. This is a communal facility for all guests at Dea Villas.
Another communal facility, provided for kids staying at Dea Villas, is the fully equipped children’s playground, which is a rare feature at villas in Bali. Set in a walled area close to the gym, the playground presents a sandpit, a Wendy house, twin swings, a slide and a baby slide. At one end of the snaking pathway is an antique ‘bale’ pavilion, where the adults can relax on cushions while they watch over the kids.
Villa Dea Amy is embraced within a serene, terraced water garden that covers three levels with a freeform, waterfall-fed swimming pool on the central level. Bordered by palms and a rice field, the brick-walled garden is filled with flowering shrubs, frangipani trees, birds-nest ferns, pandanas, heliconia and trailing vines. Sunloungers rest on the stone pool deck, and innovative wooden slats in the wall can be opened for a sneaky view of the rice field. A relaxation pavilion capped with a thatched roof and fashioned from an antique daybed sits upon four stone boulders beside the pool.
The top class chef can prepare anything from snacks up to five-course dinners, or other requests as required. A full international menu is available. Continental or American breakfast is complimentary, while the full lunch and dinner service is a dining delight where guests can enjoy all manner of food service in a semi open air dining space.
Villa Dea Amy is supported by a carefully selected team of highly trained, friendly staff who will do their best to ensure that their guests experience a truly enjoyable stay in Bali. The team is headed by a villa manager who will oversee and coordinate the staff and property, and is available to assist guests during their stay. The team also includes an in-house chef, butlers, gardeners, pool attendants and security guards operating on a 24-hour shift basis. The chef is trained in the preparation of both local and international cuisine, and is responsible for all the market shopping, in accordance with the needs and wishes of the guests. The butlers fulfil all of the general daily duties as well as cleaning and housekeeping while spa treatments are administered by professional therapists in the dedicated spa.
