Villa Aiko

Villa Aiko

Bali, Jimbaran ~ 4 Bedrooms ~ 4 Bathrooms ~ Sleeps 6 to 8

Villa Aiko embodies the ancient Chinese philosophy of yin and yang: presenting a striking interplay of light, space and airiness balanced with classic architectural lines created from teak, marble, granite and recycled ironwood.

Every space at Villa Aiko – indoors and out – makes the most of the villa’s spectacular hilltop location. No matter where you are, the view is simply breathtaking.

Awake to a symphony of birdsong and, from the comfort of your king-size bed, watch the mist rise off the mountains. Spend a lazy day lounging in the sun on your private veranda or retreat from the heat and relax in the comfort of the air-conditioned library. Then enjoy a sumptuous evening meal prepared by your private chef as you watch the lights twinkling far below on Jimbaran Bay.

Children will love Villa Aiko. They can run around on the big lawn adjacent to the main house, play hide and seek around the grounds, splash about in the pool and chill in the air-conditioned playroom, which is equipped with a doll’s house, kitchen set, games, crafts, books, and toys, to keep them entertained for hours. There’s also a fantastic selection of DVDs, plus Xbox and Wii for the young and young at heart.

With the kids occupied, adults can indulge in some well-deserved pampering: enjoy a massage in the serenity of the spa treatment room or unwind in the shaded rooftop jacuzzi, a glass of bubbles in hand. While there’s no shortage of quiet spaces for a peaceful read or some private meditation, the many lounge and dining areas, both indoors and out, spoil you for choice when it’s time to socialise. And because both floors are equipped with state-of-the-art Bose sound systems, music can set the mood wherever you are in the villa.

The grassy pool surround and the breezy upstairs deck are both great locations for sophisticated and intimate celebrations. Whatever your needs and desires, the warm, caring and professional staff at Villa Aiko will ensure that you experience an unforgettable Bali holiday.

 

 

BEDROOMS

Master bedroom

Glass sliding doors and expansive windows ensure that Villa Aiko’s enormous master bedroom is wonderfully light and airy and makes the most of the panoramic views. This tastefully furnished room, with rich, warm wood flooring, features a king-size bed and opens onto a balcony linking to a rooftop terrace furnished with canopied double sunbeds and a dining table for enjoying alfresco meals (the terrace can also be accessed from an external flight of stairs). The master ensuite is simply spectacular. This bright, sleek bathroom is fitted with twin sinks and a rain shower, while an enormous tub set below a glass roof is just made for starlit bathing.

Guest bedrooms

The three guest bedrooms on Villa Aiko’s ground floor are fitted with floor-to-ceiling glass doors, again making the most of the wonderful views. Furnished with king-size beds they feature outstanding ensuite bathrooms with rain showers and generously sized tubs. Two of the rooms have shaded, furnished balconies that face the pool, while the third is accessed from the dining and kitchen area.

All bedrooms at Villa Aiko are air-conditioned and equipped with 32-inch television screens.

 

LIVING AREAS

Villa Aiko features two fabulous lounge rooms. The first, on the ground floor, overlooks the manicured lawn and swimming pool and is part of the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, where an imposing, blond wood, ten-seater dining table lies next to the sleek modern kitchen.

Also on the ground floor is the library, a wonderful spot in which to relax on the stylish leather sofas and read a book.

The spacious upstairs living area is a great retreat – kick back and watch television or sink into the couch and enjoy an afternoon snooze. Young guests will enjoy their own kiddie utopia in the air-conditioned second-floor playroom, which opens onto a spectacular rooftop terrace.

Villa Aiko has a plethora of outdoor spaces to take advantage of the island’s wonderful climate. Luxuriate in the open-air jacuzzi, share a love seat on the rooftop terrace and watch the sun set over the ocean, relax on a poolside sun lounger, or dine under the stars and watch the lights of Jimbaran reflecting on the ocean below.

 

DINING

With a full-time cook on hand, there’s little need to leave Villa Aiko other than to surf up an appetite! Delicious home cooked cuisine will be prepared for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you crave bacon and eggs for breakfast – or at any other time of the day – just let the cook know. The only thing you have to decide is whether you want poached, scrambled or fried?

With such an amazing range of tropical fruits available, the cook can concoct some wonderfully refreshing juices for you to sip by the pool – the lemongrass and pineapple is a must-try.

Other house specialties include the balsamic sautéed chicken and the melted chocolate pudding. And be sure to try some Asian delicacies too: the nasi goreng (fried rice) and beef rendang curry are both highly recommended.

Groceries and beverages are charged at cost price plus 20%. Guests will be requested to provide grocery money in advance and the staff will shop for you and keep receipts for your reference.

 

STAFF

One of the greatest advantages of staying in a villa is the personal service provided by professional staff. The team at Villa Aiko has been thoughtfully recruited according to their skill, personality and (in many cases) membership of the local village community. Their aim is to look after every villa guest – from toddler to grandparent – in true Balinese style. The villa manager and cook, in particular, will be only too delighted to discuss your desires or concerns and do what they can to guarantee a relaxed and enjoyable holiday.
Villa manager
Aiko’s manager is responsible for the overall operation of the villa including staffing, special requests and guest satisfaction.

Private cook
The villa’s cook is well versed in Asian and Western cuisine. He will be at the villa daily to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner and is happy to accommodate any special requests or dietary needs.

Butlers and housekeeping
Our butler will be on hand throughout the day should you want for anything and will assist the kitchen at mealtimes. Housekeepers will tend to the daily cleaning and tidying of the villa, and are so quiet you won’t even know they are there.

Car and Driver
On request, your villa manager can arrange for a car and driver to be made available for an additional charge of USD$25/day. Please give 24 hours prior notice.

Gardeners and pool attendant
The gardens and pool at Villa Aiko are tended daily.

Trained security guards keep Villa Aiko safe and secure from 3pm until 7am, when the day staff arrive.

FAMILIES AT VILLA AIKO

The family friendly advantages of a villa holiday are many, including access to your own private facilities and the freedom to use them whenever you want. Knowing that the kids can run around happily, independently and safely, without you having to worry about other guests, is a real plus – and one that means parents are certain to have a more relaxed holiday too.

Villa Aiko is a great villa for families. Kids will love the grassy lawns and the bright, well-equipped playroom (conveniently situated next to the jacuzzi and rooftop lounge – a fine play area for the grown-ups!). Just keep an eye on toddlers around the villa’s pool, fish ponds and water features.

The team of friendly staff at Villa Aiko will make children feel as welcome as adults, and having these willing helpers on hand gives guests plenty of flexibility and freedom to do their own exploring beyond the villa grounds (full-time babysitting incurs a small extra cost).

Although the equipped kitchen allows you to prepare meals for fussy eaters or babies with ease, staff will happily to do this for you – just talk through your requirements and meal schedules with the villa manager or chef and they will take care of the rest. Banana pancakes on the rooftop for breakfast? Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in the playroom for lunch? No problem. The cook can customise all meals to suit children’s taste buds.

Don’t worry about packing all that cumbersome kids’ equipment for your stay. Just let us know what you need, and anything we don’t have in-house (villa facilities include children’s cutlery, plates and a playpen) we can hire on your behalf .

And when the excitement of exploring the villa starts to wear off, there’s plenty in the area to keep all the family amused throughout the holiday.
