Nusa Lembongan Villas : Villa Coral

Beach Front Beauty

Review by The Seminyak Snob

It’s no secret that our go to getaway when we need to escape the silly that sometimes Seminyak is known for is Nusa Lembongan. We are pretty fussy about where we stay returning to our favourites again and again. But this time we thought – lets mix it up and try somewhere completely different.

I must admit I was pretty excited to try some new digs on the island, a change is as good as a holiday, and that’s what we are on Lembongan for.  As the Rocky van made its way through the bumpy roads and overgrown foliage we were pretty eager to get to this new villa we had heard so much about - Villa Coral. Pulling up on a narrow road right next to Tamarind Beach – I knew I was staying somewhere absolutely beach front when the waves were lapping at my feet as I was wheeling my luggage thru the white sand to get to Villa Coral’s entrance. We were not disappointed by what greeted us.

Very large and lovely, modern but in an elegant island style way this villa is cleverly designed so every inch of the bay is captured from every point of this double story Nusa Lembongan villa.

This beach front beauty is tucked away in a private and very quiet part of the island, it’s truly beautiful, with every amenity that you will need during your stay provided for you. With four staff to take care of everything – all you need to do is sit back and do nothing – something I’m very good at.

This Nusa Lembongan villa has 4 enormous air-conditioned bedrooms, each with king size beds and very generous ensuite bathrooms – all bedrooms have views of the beach and bay that stretch out as far as the eye can see.

We spent our days by or I should say laying in the infinity pool taking in the impressive outlook – the star of the show being Mt Agung – which, when he makes an appearance he is seen perfectly from every location in this villa.

The poolside bar got a good work out– that impressive stainless steel refrigerator kept our champagne chilled to perfection. The staff were always on hand with menus from local warungs and happily ordered delicious meals for us, collected them and lay out our dishes for us in the beautiful open-air dining area overlooking the pool and the beach.

Breakfast at Villa Coral is a great way to start your day – the staff cook up a some tasty treats that will keep you full right thru to lunch – so good in fact – we requested 2nd servings.

This Nusa Lembongan villa is literally on the beach! When the tide comes in – you open the front gate – and the waves almost reach the beautiful stone boundary. A walk along the beach you will find local fisherman untangling their nets whilst their young children play in the waves.

At night take in the sunset from the poolside bar – or the view is just as good if not better from the upstairs lounge area.

With an air- conditioned entertainment room that also doubles as a massage room, this Nusa Lembongan villa has everything to ensure your holiday is perfect in every way.

There is lots to do on this island paradise; snorkel, explore, etc., but we have been to Lembongan many times before, so we decided just to chillax and enjoy everything that Villa Coral had to offer – that being the peaceful and secluded position – leaving us with the feeling that we had this whole stretch of beach to ourselves.

Villa Coral is most certainly a beachfront beauty, a picture perfect position which will ensure your island getaway is as every bit as wonderful as the view it looks out to.

Cliff Hanging Villa Tanjung

Tamarind Beach

Review by The Nomadic Shopper

PERCHED ON THE ROCKY OUTCROP BETWEEN MUSHROOM BAY AND TAMARIND BAY STANDS VILLA TANJUNG NUSA LEMBONGAN, AN IMPRESSIVE BALE STYLE BUILDING THAT STAKES HER CLAIM ON THE BLUFF HERE. VILLA TANJUNG RESTS PROUDLY ON THE POINT, COMMANDING ATTENTION AS YOU HUG THE COASTLINE UPON YOUR APPROACH INTO NUSA LEMBONGAN VIA BOAT.

“Tanjung” translates from Indonesian to mean headland and Villa Tanjung really does occupy the headland here with astounding views from every corner.  Cleverly designed to ensure every element of that breathtaking view can be appreciated, the property boasts a 270 degree panoramic vista with the ocean on three sides.  Every single room in this sprawling property offers you views of the water, including every bedroom, each bathroom and even the powder room, so not one guest misses out!

Incorporating traditional Indonesian design, Villa Tanjung spreads itself across a massive main pavilion  with open air living and dining with a gorgeous alang alang (grass thatched) roof.  Three separate smaller pod style buildings make up the five bedroom suites and games room.  Natural materials including bamboo, thatched grass, stone and timber furnishings add to the natural island feel.  Designed by famous Bali based architects Grounds Kent of Four Seasons Bali fame, the thought in the design concept of Villa Tanjung translates to every piece of this property.

A 17 metre pool lays between the open living bale and the cliff so when poolside you are at the edge of the cliff with nothing in front of you but vast blue seas and views of Mount Agung and Bali mainland.

Take the front gate to the side of the pool (on the Mushroom Bay side) and it leads you down to to the bottom of the cliff where a wide flat rocky platform juts out over the sea. Here you will find a private ladder clinging to the rock wall that you can descend and immerse yourself in the beautiful clear waters of Nusa Lembongan. There is something incredibly inspiring about this private hidden nook and entering the sea this way is so wonderful. Do take care, however, as there can be strong currents and swell here.

All your island needs are taken care of with a group of smiling staff at hand. Enjoy your complimentary daily breakfast freshly prepared from the in house menu with fresh juices, fruit platters, indonesian or western fare.  You can even arrange the villa chef to cook you lunch or dinner but arrange this early so you you allow staff time to source ingredients.  There is also a choice of wine, champagne, beer and soft drink at an extra charge. In villa massages can also be arranged to ensure you slip into Nusa Lembongan mode. Nightly turn down service add the final touch at the end of hard day enjoying the Villa Tanjung vista.

Villa Tanjung is sprawling and the sense of space is delightful. Beautiful and extensive landscaping feature at every turn creating peaceful outdoor spaces that add to the sense of peace and serenity here at Villa Tanjung. The gardens, designed by Bali’s leading landscape designer, Made Wijaya, really are lush and beautiful.

Villa Tanjung’s open design embraces the gifts Mother Nature has to offer welcoming the fresh outdoor air, the sea breezes, and the sounds of nature that travel on the breeze. This villa truly creates an island feel and a luxury escape that will have you unwound and ready to play your own Robinson Crusoe, albeit a very luxurious one in the Villa Tanjung story!

Villa Tranquilla

Review by Fran Doll from @throughrosecolouredglasses

Lembongan is my favourite place in the entire world. I was so happy to be heading back there this trip. I always feel a sense of relief when I get on the fast boat from Sanur across to the island. Leaving behind the busy hustle and bustle of Bali en route to paradise.

We arrived to the crystal clear aqua waters and were taken promptly to our villa which was located right in Sandy Bay on the cliff top there. The view from this spot is nothing short of amazing. I come to Lembongan every year but Villa Tranquilla is definitely the best one I have ever stayed in on the island. The location is outstanding!

The villa is huge and has incredible ocean views pretty much everywhere in the house. I loved waking up to the ocean crashing against the cliffs right in front of me, to my right the view of the stunning blue pool complete with day bed and lounges. I must tell you though my absolute favourite thing hands down was the bathtub. To literally sit in the tub overlooking such a spectacular view of the sea was so mind-blowing.

The staff at Villa Tranquilla were so lovely and courteous every morning they would make us breakfast and clean our rooms. I wish I knew how to make a bed so perfectly!

Sunset views at this place are just so crazy beautiful. I found it hard to leave and was so sad saying goodbye to this villa! I am that excited to come back for my next trip. Would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat. We had such an amazing time exploring the island, snorkelling and adventuring.

So happy to have found it through The Lembongan Traveller. Thanks for an amazing stay.
