Villa Ambra
Villa Ambra is the epitome of beachfront tropical luxury.
Villa Ambra has 45 metres of beach frontage, and each of its five bedrooms has expansive and unimpeded sea views. Nowhere in Bali is more beachfront than this.
Gifted French designers Gaelle Echene and Charles Pelletier have created a unique ambience that combines beachcomber insouciance with utter luxury – living areas are beautifully sited to the beach, the sea and the sky.
There really is room to move and to breath in the sea air, for Villa Ambra is truly expansive. Floor space over two levels is more than 800 square metres, and the garden and pool are a vast 2200 square metres.
FACILITIES
Bedrooms
Villa Ambra has five air-conditioned double bedrooms with king- and queen-sized beds. Each has an ensuite bathroom with bathtub as well as shower. All five bedrooms have ocean views.
Living room
The main living room is 80 square metres; the second, upstairs, is 45 square metres. Both rooms are unenclosed.
Dining room
The 50 square metre dining room is air-conditioned, but can also be thrown open with French doors.
Staff
Your Balinese staff are unobtrusive and discreet, but ever friendly and helpful. Your butler, who acts as major domo and concierge, also manages your household staff.
Our French executive chef helps you choose your menus, and oversees your own sous chefs and kitchen staff.
Entertainment
Each bedroom has its own 37 inch LCD television screen with satellite tv programming, dvd and Bose sound system.
There’s an iPod dock which is connected to speakers throughout the villa and the garden.
There’s a substantial cinema with a High Definition movie projection system, plus a library of the latest films on dvd.
There’s a tennis court with all-weather surface and night-lighting that’s yours to enjoy. A selection of fitness equipment is also available should you want something more strenuous than long beach walks to keep in shape.
Internet
The entire estate is covered by an unlimited WiFi satellite broadband system which is yours to enjoy while you are our guest.
Water
Villa Ambra’s water is drawn from a deep well, then filtered and treated with ultra-violet to make it completely drinkable directly from the tap. Still and sparkling mineral waters are also available as a matter of course.
Power
The villa’s electricity is supplied by the Indonesian national power company at 240 volts. Voltage regulators ensure against current spikes. A generator is on 24-hour stand-by just in case there is a power cut. Electrical sockets in Bali use the two-pin system commonly found in Europe. Adaptor plugs are available.
Security
There are highly-trained and unobtrusive security guards on duty round the clock.
Phone/Fax
Every bedroom has an ISD capable telephone. Calls between rooms don’t cost anything. Local or international calls will be charged at cost.
There is a fax machine in the office which you are welcome to use.
Linen and laundry
Bed linen, mosquito nets and house towels are supplied. A full laundry service is provided. Dry cleaning is available from outside sources.
Car and driver
You have complimentary use of a car and driver for up to 10 consecutive hours a day.
FOOD & DRINK
Villa Ambra has an innovative and rather unusual approach to food and drink.
We want you to feel as free in our villa as you would if it was your own.
And that means that you choose what food, soft drinks, beers, wines and spirits you want to enjoy, you set a budget, you give your butler money to cover your shopping, and he arranges its purchase at local markets, delicatessens, specialty shops and liquor stores. There’s no mark-up or premium for its preparation by your chefs. You won’t pay a cent more than if you went and bought the produce and drinks yourself.
French executive chef Sebastien Robuchon and his team of sous chefs provide an eclectic menu selection melding classic French cooking, nouvelle cuisine, as well as Indonesian/Asian fusion food.
A selection of Sebastien’s favourite dishes include Seared tomatoes and scallops carpaccio with arugula pesto and dry lemon skin, Cucumber and fennel chilled soup, Young papaya and seafood spicy soup, Butterfish filets “en ecailles” with paprika ratatouille and basil oil, Seared tuna tournedos with asparagus and warm vinaigrette, garlic and olive mash.
In terms of desserts, the Warm chocolate tart, the Exotic fruit “rosace” with coconut jelly and tropical syrup and the Mango and balsamic Tatin tart are among his masterpieces.
The length and breadth of the culinary experience is not limited to the suggested menus. You are actively encouraged to spend time with Sebastien and develop a menu that reflects your own good taste.
GARDEN & POOL
Villa Ambra sits on 2250 square metres of beachfront land planted in lush tropical vegetation and gently swaying palms.
There are 45 metres of beachfront, so you literally step off your front lawn on to the sand.
The two pools are extensive in scope too.
The main infinity pool measures 20 x 5 metres for a total of 100 square metres.
The smaller pool, with a maximum depth of 60 centimetres, is great for children but also fun for adults to splash around in.
At the end of the main pool, very near the beachfront, is a heated jacuzzi which is designed for the enjoyment of up to eight adults.
