The west facing Istana resides on a southwestern tip of Bali, Indonesia, in an area named The Bukit. This five suite estate overlooks white sand beaches and a lagoon abundant with sea life and coral, and at night, magical sunsets.

This one and a half acre property perched high atop dramatic cliffs, is more a palace than a villa, with cathedral ceilings, rich teakwood interiors, Thai silk bedding, Lotus water gardens and two swimming pools. Located in Uluwatu, featuring five bedroom suites and a thirty meter swimming pool facing west onto the pacific ocean, The Istana sets new standards for private luxury villas in Bali.

The staffing is of luxury hotel level with restaurant-standard food, a full time manager, butler and chauffeur, all devoted to facilitating intimate service among private splendor.
