Villa Puri Nirwana
A Magical Black Sand Beach Serves As Dramatic Backdrop
to Balinese Village Life
Home to approximately two hundred Balinese rice paddy farmers and fishermen who have lived hundreds of years within the area, Cucukan Village on Bali’s east coast has remained relatively unchanged amidst years of rapid resort and villa development in the south. Conveniently located within an hour’s drive of Sanur, one of Bali’s original resort destinations, Cucukan exudes a feeling of seclusion and authenticity, allowing guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in the beauty of Balinese traditions and rituals.
e residence of choice for former Indonesian President, Megawati Soekarnoputri, Cucukan’s beach is a secret spot for international surfers in the know, sunrise connoisseurs and shell collectors. Delectable seafood including fresh lobster is caught daily as playful canoes return to shore with their bounty by the time each day begins with tangerine rays illuminating the distant horizon.
Nestled absolutely beachfront in its own private haven, Puri Nirwana, or Heavenly Villa, features over 5000-square-meters of manicured gardens with lush lawns leading down to the ocean, several water features and a romantic reflection pond. A plantation– style main house reflects a clean, colonial style infused with natural light that pours in from the tropical garden through floor to ceiling French doors and windows appointed with traditional shutters. Overstuffed seating areas create a comfortable family atmosphere while eccentric touches of Moroccan–inspired lighting and indigenous furnishings add hip design flair. From the formal porte-cochere entry to the chef’s kitchen, a culinary aficionado’s dream, Puri Nirwana perfects down to earth opulence in a one of a kind setting.
Volcano vistas, a boutique coconut grove and tree–lined oceanfront swimming pool provide an oasis for families, corporate retreats and the ultimate wedding venue where guests are supported by the sincere assistance of the villa’s live-in staff as well as unparalleled onsite amenities including the property’s very own day spa housed within a restored 200 year–old Javanese ‘joglo’ house, featuring intricately carved wooden walls and ceilings. Employing two full time therapists who are on standby twelve hours every day, Puri Nirwana’s spa is a spectacular setting for Bali’s famed traditional body treatments.
Perfectly situated to ensure an eventful holiday in Bali, the villa is within a few minutes drive to the Bali Safari and Marine Park; one of the island’s most popular theme park attractions. Featuring realistic safari expeditions, close–up animal encounters, the best of Bali theater and a water park as icing on the cake, an outing to Bali Safari and Marine Park is an exciting excursion for all age levels. Equally impressive attractions within reach include the immaculately manicured Bali Bird Park, the culturally buzzing center of Ubud, white water rafting, and Besakih – the mother of all temples in Bali.
Designed to make the most of the land’s natural cross ventilation, guests may relish in the sweet ocean breeze or tuck comfortably within air-conditioned bliss. Accommodating up to fourteen adults and eight children, groups will love the family areas that include billiards and media room, children’s activity area, pool gazebo to soak up sparkling constellations and the outdoor trellised dining area that seats ten. Those looking for a little me time will love the ingenious first floor bale perfect for cat naps or meditation and the ‘escape lounges’ situated in hand-picked corners of the garden and villa where you can spend some quality time with that special person; yourself.
