Villa
Niloufar - Canggu, Bali
The splendid five-bedroom
property known as Villa
Niloufar, meaning "LOTUS" in
Persian, rests in blissful
seclusion in a rural setting in
southwest Bali. It is an ideal
destination for guests who want
to escape and enjoy relaxation,
fitness, and wellbeing within a
stunning location.
Niloufar is just twenty minutes
drive from the trendy and
buzzing area of Seminyak/Oberoi,
where Bali's most popular
beaches, chic boutiques,
excellent restaurants and
fashionable bars are located.
The nearest beach, Canggu, is a
short 5-minute drive away. The
nearest golf course, Nirvana
(designed by Greg Norman), is 10
minutes away.
The villa boasts a 17 x 5
meter swimming pool and a fully
equipped gym. The meandering
Buwit River borders the villa's
expansive gardens; the property
is surrounded by nature and
blessed with beautiful views and
riverside trails.
Villa Niloufar blends its
exceptional location with
outstanding facilities, service
and privacy. Embracing the trend
of 'Destination' villas, the
property has been designed to
contain as many features and
amenities as possible,
complemented by top levels of
service, intended to ensure that
guests feel no need to go out
for top quality dining and
entertainment.
By using the natural elements of
the land as architecture, the
villa has been carefully
designed to promote the spirit
of ecological responsibility
with minimal impact on the
environment. International
architect, Gary Fell, generates
solutions that blend style with
nature. Rooftop water-lily ponds
serve the double purpose of
being aesthetically pleasing to
the eye while, at the same time,
providing a natural cooling
system as each roof acts as a
dense thermal insulator. The
swimming pool employs an
advanced ionizer filter system,
and a water recycling system
allows waste water to be reused
in the gardens. The villa with
its two roof top water gardens,
is cleverly landscaped into the
contours of the hill.

Villa Niloufar is approached via
a spacious car park with a
security post and an openwork
metal pivot gate. Guests will

two, stunning rooftop lily ponds
as they descend a stone stairway
into the main, open-air entrance
area with its natural stone
walls. From here, the full

the length of an elevated,
ornamental pond, past immaculate
lawns towards the swimming pool,

beyond. A pair of welcome

hall, and from here guests will

and dining area capped with
another lotus pond roof.

and supported by pillars - is

'lost in thought', and 'bale'

figs and towering palms,
together with creepers and
ferns. On the far side of the

terrace. The extensive grounds
