Ombak laut means ‘ocean wave’ which could not be a more fitting name for this six-bedroom seaside retreat. Villa Ombak Laut boasts 100 metres of absolute beach frontage on Bali’s rugged south-west coast, and the roar of the ocean can be heard throughout the villa as waves crash against the black volcanic rocks and the spectacular sea temple that rises above them.

Carefully designed to capture the sea breeze and the ocean views, Villa Ombak Laut features individual living and sleeping pavilions with high-vaulted ceilings and alang-alang thatched roofs, fashioned on the traditional Balinese compound. An antique Javanese gladak (wooden house) forms the sixth bedroom adding to the Indonesian flair and charm that makes this villa so unique.

While the villa is undeniably luxurious, it is also very comfortable and welcoming. Built originally as the owner’s family holiday home, Ombak Laut caters for all age groups. If the novelty of relaxing by the two delightful swimming pools wears off, guests have access to a private tennis court, a games room with billiard table, table tennis and bicycles for exploring the surrounding rice fields and villages.

But what really sets this villa apart are its impressive grounds that sprawl across one hectare. Coconut palms sway in the breeze, fragrant frangipanis give off their sweet scent and manicured lawns roll all the way to the ocean. From the perfectly positioned sunset balé guests can see and breathe in the wild beauty of this dramatic coastline, and admire the mystical sea temple of Pura Gede Luhur Batungaus that lies just off shore.

Completing the villa experience, Ombak Laut offers exceptional five-star service, with an experienced chef on hand to prepare anything from intimate romantic suppers to lavish dinner parties, and housekeepers and gardeners working tirelessly to keep the villa in immaculate condition. If guests do manage to tear themselves away from this magical oasis, a car and driver is on standby for trips further afield.
