Semer Palace was built in the Grand Bali style and is made up of several wings expanding from a centralized living pavilion. Entry to the complex is through a set of large double wooden gates and access to all areas is via a series of slatted teakwood paths and stone steps across lotus pond waterways. From these paths is entry to both bedroom wings - at opposite ends of the main living pavilion.
The chic and simplistically styled living pavilion consists of a large circular room with a dramatic thatched-roof ceiling. An antique teakwood carved-wall sits behind a formal dining alcove, while on the opposite side of the room is an open-air walkway with a beautifully carved stone wall leading to a separate continues-flow plunge pool. The main room also features luxurious cushioned sitting areas against an open-air backdrop with picturesque views across Japanese grass lawns to the swimming pool and rice fields beyond.
Of the two bedroom wings, the two fully air-conditioned master suites are located on the southern side of the villa, both with their own elegant en-suite bathrooms and canopied king-size four-poster beds - made with imported linen.
The upper bedroom has a covered open-air balcony while the lower bedroom integrates a charming open-style breakfast veranda - each bedroom overlooks the sweeping tropical grounds, swimming pool and sunsets to the west.
A second bedroom wing consists of 2 more air-conditioned double bedrooms with a shared fully equipped indoor/outdoor garden bathroom. The wing is completely surrounded with tropical lotus ponds.
Other garden aspects and features include an ancient Hindu temple, a traditional Balinese balé (thatched sun-sheltering pavilion), sun loungers, a 15-meter swimming pool, children’s playhouse and a level lawn area perfect for badminton or croquet.
A separate kitchen area is fully equipped with modern facilities. It has 2 excellent cooks who cater to both local and international cuisines. Stylish dinner parties can also be catered to upon request.
