| Set
back forty meters from the cliff face, The Istana sits within
a tremendous gated property and is composed of two swimming
pools, a relaxation bale, a private guest house (containing
the master bedroom), and a main house. Within the main house
is a living room, dining room, entertainment room (known as
the Dotcom room), and four identical bedroom suites.
Both
of the buildings are single-story and open-air with rich teakwood
floors, inspiring a natural ambiance, while maintaining and
accentuating the spectacular view. Flamboyans and flame trees
line the wall, providing shade, with flowering pink, white,
and red oleander and fragrant lilac planted below. The modern
kitchen, which is fitted with state of the art commercial grade
equipment, is in this vicinity, set apart from the rest of the
structures.
Each
of the four matching suites is comprised of a bedroom with a
capacious walk-in closet, and indoor and outdoor Bali-style
bathrooms. All of the bedroom walls are faced with timber paneling
to mid-height with white sand wash on top, leading up to the
high cathedral timber-lined ceilings with ceiling fans, and
air-conditioning.
