High
on a lush green canyon above the Wos River near Ubud in the
historic Regency of Gianyar, lies the magnificent estate of
Villa Imogiri. Villa Imogiri offers the highest levels of privacy
and supreme luxury within a setting of breathtaking vistas and
exquisite gardens scented with frangipani, hibiscus, orchids
and bougainvilaea.
Villa
Imogiri is located on the perimeter of the quaint villages of
Bangkiang Sidem and Keliki, just eight minutes from Ubud --
the artistic centre of Bali. The Villa Imogiri estate is established
between two important temples, one of which has seen the Hindu
religion practised there since the 19th century. The spectacle
of pageantry and music can often be witnessed as village celebrants'
parade between these revered temples. The
estate's name, IMOGIRI, mountain of mist is derived from the
beautiful and ancient place in Java, chosen by the Imperial
family as the eternal Royal resting place: a place closer to
heaven than to earth.
Carefully
integrated within terraced rice fields festooned with mature
coconut trees, the Villa Imogiri estate comprises five primary
Balinese-style pavilions, brilliantly designed to capture the
spiritual essence and magnificent vistas that abound the property.
Villa
Imogiri was conceived as an alternative for that special group
of discerning travellers who seek the privacy of a residence
with expectations of alls the comfort and services offered by
an exclusive five-star hotel. At Villa Imogiri the guest party
of six have exclusive use of the entire estate.
