Villa Sapi

Lifestyle

Architecture

Villa Sapi was designed and concepted by Canadian designer David Lombardi who has an impressive portfolio of private homes in America, Europe and Asia. His latest works in Bali and Thailand has given him a strong understanding of what he feels modern Asian residential architecture should be. Especially for living in tropical environments.

Lombardi’s bauhaus philosophy of “Function Over Form” are evident in his design approach, always leaving the viewer with a sense of discovery and surprise as the journey through their home.

Villa Sapi is comprised of two modern freestanding buildings, surrounded by decorative fishponds and gardens flowing all the way down to a pristine white beach.

Although contemporary in architectural style and amenities, Villa Sapi has included some traditional elements such as the various bales set around the estate. The use of wood like Ulin (iron wood) for the roof, batu chandi (lava stone), paras (sand stone), coconut and bamboos, all reflect Lombardi’s unique vision and his commitment to the use of local. materials.

Environmental issues have also been addressed with the use of solar water heaters, and solar lighting. Rainwater is collected from the building structure and recycled.

Private Villa

Villa Sapi has been designed as a family and friends vacation retreat. You will enjoy all the comfort and service of a 5 stars hotel, and the feeling of intimacy that only a private house can deliver.

Villa Sapi consists of two different structures. The main house acts as a sort of vortex, it’s a place to gather, to chill out and enjoy fri ends and family, but above all it’s a place to explore.

The guesthouse is a wonderful modern Inner Sanctum. Independent and uniquely isolated from the main villa, it gives your guests the freedom and independence from others if they so desire.

Setting

Secluded on a 3 hectare beachfront property, the villa is nestled in and amongst hundreds of original coconut and palm trees. The different “bale,” the Indonesian huts, sprinkled around the property give each guest the possibility to relax in perfect harmony with nature.

Villa

Bedrooms

All 5 bedrooms include a 2m x 2m bed and the possibility to fit a baby cot or an extra bed. The 5-ensuite bathrooms each have an indoor -outdoor shower. The office can very easily be converted in a 6th bedroom with its own bathroom. The house can comfortably sleep up to 12 people.

Main House

The main building consists of 3 spacious bedrooms, a functional office, a large media room, and a generous living and a dining room. Ideal for casual dining or large dinner parties with friends.

Guest House

Includes 2 separate bedrooms each with their own private swimming pool, and a dining patio. Conveniently located on one side of the property, it makes it easy for required guests to remain independent from the main house.

Experience

The Island

Lombok is Bali’s sister island, and according to many has kept the charm that Bali was famous for, 30 years ago. The Sasaks, the majority of the almost 3 millions people, have a very strong music and dance tradition. 85 % of the population is Muslim and Mosques are florishing even in the most remote places.

Balinese people are an important minority on the island, and their traditions are also very strong. One of the oldest Hindu temples can be found on the Island.

Lombok also boasts the magnificent Mount Rinjani, rising at 3726 m and the third largest volcano in Indonesia. The volcano, along with its sacred and spectacular Segara Anak crater lake, are protected by a National Park.

The island is surrounded by beautiful beaches with white or black (volcanic) sand.

The Village Community

Most of the staff at the villa come from the village of Sigar Penjalin. Villa Sapi and the surrounding villas all maintain a very special relationship with them, and Villa Sapi is glad to contribute to the development of the village school. Guests are welcome to visit the students during class, and show interest in the local community.
