Villa Gajah Putih

Each of the six bedrooms consists of an enclosed air-conditioned room with its own en suite bathroom.  The floors and ceilings are made of ironwood, and each of the bedrooms have at least one glass wall overlooking the ocean-side gardens of the estate.  All of the en suite bathrooms are floored and walled with caramel marble, and have screened-windows overlooking the front gardens. 

First Bed Room

Set off to the right of the living room when walking straight from the dining area is the first bedroom.  The entrance to this bedroom is a traditional Balinese variegated carved doorway, which opens up to reveal two queen sized wooden canopy beds with blue cotton bedcovers from India.  Delicate white mosquito nets subtly accented by white flower patterns are draped from the canopies, and reading lights are tactfully attached to the supports for convenience.  The beds are separated by a blue Ikat wall hanging and a wooden bedside table upon which rests a porcelain lamp from Hong Kong.  The room is flanked on one side by glass, which looks out over the living room and pool table when the white draperies are opened.  A rich red Oriental carpet delightfully compliments the ironwood floors. The rest of the furniture consists of a modest wood standing wardrobe and a small writing table with matching chairs.

Within the spacious marble bathroom, a large mask of a meditative face with closed eyes hangs on the wall behind the double showers, mounted on square marble pillars.  A wooden towel rack and copper elephant stand sit by the stairs leading into the sunken marble tub which can be filled for a luxurious bath

Second Bed Room

On both sides of the doorway to the second bedroom are two majestic red lion-like sculptures.  Two wooden queen sized beds with red bedcovers sit on either side of a small table and lamp, behind which is a wall of windows overlooking the garden.  The front windows look out to a lily pond filled with fish and two fountains in the form of carved stone tortoises, spouting water from their mouths. Bamboo blinds can be drawn down in the bedroom for privacy.  The décor in this room consists of a plain wooden wardrobe, a desk, and matching chairs, and is highlighted by a red and blue Oriental carpet, and two original antique Chinese paintings to either side of the ironwood door leading to the large robe and ensuite bathroom.

First Master Bed Room (3rd room)

To the immediate left of the staircase, one walks past another large painting and through a set of picturesque carved doors into the first master bedroom.  This sublime room is walled on three sides by sliding glass windows with white linen drapes that can be drawn for privacy.  An “Ikat” weaving hangs on the fourth wall between the entrance and the bathroom doorway.  The entire bedroom is surrounded by a balcony, which overlooks the front and back gardens, and the vegetable garden to the side.  The tremendous bed sits in the middle of the room with a view of the ocean, and boasts a finely dyed cotton red and white bedcover made in India in karma sutra style.  Imported Oriental carpets encircle the bed, and an elaborate Chinese style sofa from Java sits off to the side.  The en suite bathroom is another symphony of marble and indulgence

Fourth Bed Room

The fourth bedroom overlooks the balcony to one side and offers a sea view to the other. The most notable decoration in this room is the complex mirrored wall hanging from India.  As in the other bedrooms, a table and matching sitting chairs and a standing wardrobe make up the rest of the furniture.

Second Master Bed Room (5th Room)

The second master bedroom is boasts sliding glass doors overlooking the ocean open up to expose the elegantly carved canopy bed.  The white bedcover is of handmade Indian lace, matched by the elegant mosquito net, hand painted in India. A unique Javanese batik wall hanging backs the bed, and depicts a forest setting with animals grazing.

Sixth Bed Room

The sixth bedroom was added in early 2006 and designed in keeping with the original house.  The large suite has an impressive carved wooden wall and luxurious en suite bathroom.  Glass doors open to a large balcony area overlooking the gardens.
