A hundred steps up from your villa is the pool overlooking
the valley below. Its design follows the contours of the terraced rice
fields and it has an infinity edge which drops
off into space. When you look out over the pool all you can see is water,
greenery and sky -- or the stars and fireflies at night.

The 15-meter (50-foot) pool is crystal-clear
salt water which is easier on your eyes than chlorinated fresh
water. And the Balinese sun keeps the water at the perfect temperature
year-round. On deck, you'll find an umbrella-covered table perfect for
drinks or meals, and deck chairs for relaxing.
On the other side of the infinity drop-off is a waterfall
that splashes into a children's wading pool.
Like a lot of things around the villa, Toby regularly keeps his eye on
this area as well. Good dog.
If you'd like an evening swim,
the night caretaker will be happy to walk you up to the pool and turn
on the lights. Or, for the ultimate in privacy and starlit splendor, he
will leave them off.
Finally, there's always sunset to be enjoyed with
drinks and dinner or just your thoughts and the fireflies
-- kunang-kunang. |
