Description
Imaginative design, Indonesian influence and an exquisite waterfront setting combine to create a calm tranquillity at this remarkable villa, where indoor/outdoor living is provided by a series of pergolas and pavilions, linked by fountains and orchid gardens. An innately romantic wedding venue, the villa is also thoughtfully equipped and discreetly served for a family reunion or gathering of friends. A lily pond with soothing waterfalls is the setting for the spa and gym, a large Jacuzzi hems the seafront swimming pool, and a tennis court within the grounds is floodlit for play in the cool of the evening. Lawns lead to the white sand water’s edge, where a jetty juts into the sea, torchlight beach parties are arranged by the chef, and sea kayaks, sailfish and snorkelling equipment are all available. Within the villa’s pavilions, stone, teak and giant bamboo add natural textures to earthy toned decor, the central Great Room is arty and informal, and the house lives up to its name. ‘Aman-oka’ or ‘peaceful home’ is very private but within easy reach of golf courses and Ocho Rios.
