Sanctuary River Retreat

With all the attributes of a boutique retreat, The Sanctuary River Retreat resembles a high-end gallery that is full of visual appeal. It comes complete with all essential facilities that everyone gets to share much like being a valued guest in a private home. Hospitality is second to none and every conceivable need is taken care of with a genuine Balinese smile.

The Villa perfectly suited to small groups, business executives or extended families looking to stay together in a luxurious setting. The property also has a bamboo gazebo and an elegant platform that seemingly floats on top of the swimming pool for weddings and celebrations of the heart.

The Rooms

It features a total of nine exclusive accommodations intended for guests who appreciate art and the finer pleasures that life has to offer. Every suite is unique and styled to showcase the most amazing compilation of artefacts and treasures sourced from Indonesia and beyond. All rooms are aprox. 52m2, excluding outdoor areas and are equipped with all necessities.

Facilities

Guest facilities at The Sanctuary River Retreat are second to none and no small detail has been overlooked. The property has been designed to bring people together with a generous living environment and communal dining space to share good food and conversation. There are also plenty of smaller areas and hidden niches where guests can spend quiet time alone.

Living Room

At the heart of the Villa is an exquisite living room housed within a timber Joglo that conjures up images of a bygone era. Its soaring rooftop, designed to imitate a mountain, is supported by solid hardwood column and the effect is softened by white drapes that act as floating room dividers.
The living room is furnished in an array of classic chairs and cushioned sofas. There is an elaborately carved daybed in one corner together with occasional tables bearing Balinese ceremonial bowls and other aesthetic pieces. The open sides of this Joglo create the sensation of being cocooned from the outside world by nature.

Swimming Pool

The swimming pool  is a T-shaped body of crystal clear water that lends itself to hours of quality relaxation. It is edged by a timber sun deck and takes in the tropical beauty of the surrounding rice terraces and lush flora. The pool is suitable for early morning laps or just splashing around to beat the heat of the day.

Dining Pavilion

The timber dining pavilion features a long rustic table where guests can come together to enjoy leisurely evenings of wining and dining. It is attached to a well-equipped service kitchen that has a work island big enough to conduct cooking classes. A professional chef is on duty to prepare flavoursome meals on request.

Library

The library is a multi-functional space to read, work or catch a movie on the large screen television. A cushioned sofa is an inviting spot to sit back and unwind, while an aquarium filled with tropical fish adds to the overall serenity. There’s a fine selection of books and lifestyle publications that guests are free to borrow for the entire duration of their stay.

Bar

A well-stocked bar has been set up to anticipate the holiday needs of seasoned travellers. From bottles of wine to premium spirits, cold beers and classic cocktails, almost all drink preferences are available. The bar is a great spot to unwind at the end of the day and gather socially with other guests.

Location

The Sanctuary River Retreat  is removed from the mainstream tourism in a quiet residential quarter of Kerobokan / Seminyak. This particular area still has productive rice terraces fed by water from shared irrigation canals that traverse the landscape. The local community here strive to preserve Bali’s cultural values and life is coloured by endless cycle of religious ceremonies.

The Sanctuary River Retreat is just a 10 minute drive from the lifestyle district of central Seminyak where the streets are lined with restaurants, boutiques, spas and bars. There are several beaches relatively close by for a fun day out or to take pleasure in Bali’s famous sunset. Ngurah Rai International Airport is a 30 minute journey away by car.
