The absolute beachfront, Pushpapuri is
located near the traditional village of Ketewel
on Bali’s south-east coast.
This
stunning villa boasts four bedrooms, a 20-metre infinity-edge swimming
pool, a splendid living & dining room, and a games room,
complemented by the finest furnishings and a five-star standard of
service.
Bounded by the River Wos and a rugged surf
beach.
Furthermore, it is blessed with spectacular outlook:
... across the ocean towards the beaches of Keramas
and the islands of Nusa Penida
and Nusa Lembongan, and over the
pounding surf to the unrivalled grandeur of sacred Mt Agung…"the
finest view in the land of dreams".
Quiet and safe, Villa Pushpapuri
is situated close to the pretty village of Ketewel
on Bali’s south-east coast.
The
streets of the village are lined with leafy trees; a small intersection
is the venue of a fruit and vegetable market, and colourful temple
ceremonies are a common sight.
The Sanur-Kusumba by-pass, from Seminyak to Candidasa,
has made this rural area accessible to the rest of the island and
positions the villa within easy driving distance of Bali’s tourist
attractions.
Pushpapuri is just 45
minutes’ drive from Bali’s international airport,
30 minutes from the cultural town of Ubud, ten
minutes from Sukawati art and handicraft market,
ten minutes from Sanur, and 30-45 minutes from the
restaurants, shops and nightlife of Kuta and Seminyak.
The
diversity of the island presents everything from diving, cruising and
trekking, to adventure sports and theme parks. Horse riding takes place
at the neighbouring Saba stables, and three of the best golf courses in
the world are located within easy reach.
Ketewel village is the origin of the famous
Legong Bededari Dance, while the nearby village of Sawa
historically produced the finest Legong dancers on the island.
The beach of Pabean
was once a small port through which oriental traders brought their
products; at low tide you can still see the structure of the old
harbour, and a Chinese cemetery is located nearby.
Balinese Hindu purification ceremonies are held beside the
ocean at the sacred Pura Segara sea temple,
and the adjacent reef is renowned for its world class surf breaks.
