Location & Introduction
The beautiful villa known as 'Legenda' is situated in the rice fields just steps from the Indian Ocean at Berawa Beach on Bali's southwest coast. Completed in September 2006, the villa captivates with luxury, privacy and exemplary service. It is near the Canggu International Club.
This perfect location is close to every amenity guests might need, yet it presents a fascinating insight into the life of rural Bali. The culture of rice is one of Bali’s most ancient traditions.
Legenda surrounded on two sides by rice paddies, is in the center of that tradition. There are also glimpses of the Indian Ocean and on clear days, there is a spectacular view of Bali’s majestic mountains.
In 10 minutes guests can be in the center of busy Seminyak. This area presents an exciting nightlife, trendy boutiques, luxurious spas, and internationally acclaimed restaurants and clubs. The villa is 30 minutes from Denpasar International Airport.
Easily accessible sporting amenities include world-class surfing at the Berawa Beach surf break; and golfing at Nirwana Bali Golf Course, designed by Greg Norman and voted the number one golf course in Indonesia. For horse lovers, the Umalas Equestrian Centre is just a few kilometers away. Surf board and golf club rentals can be arranged.
Legenda was designed by the internationally acclaimed Balinese architect Popo Danes. He has been honored with numerous awards for his efforts in enriching Balinese contemporary architecture and preserving the heritage of both Bali and Indonesia. He has projects located throughout the Indonesian archipelago; in Malaysia; Thailand; the United States; and India. He is known for his sensitivity to nature, the environment and the culture within which he is working.
There is a wide choice of areas for dining and entertaining. Balconies and verandas have been positioned to maximize the panoramic views and the cooling tropical breezes. Guests will be soothed by the rhythmic sounds of breaking ocean waves.
