The 5 x 12 metre swimming pool is lined with bluish-green Java stone, edged with black volcanic stone and bordered by an ironwood deck, which is furnished with an alfresco dining table for eight, in addition to two double sunbeds and parasols. There is an outdoor pool shower and, at one end of the pool, there is an open-sided ‘bale’ relaxation pavilion with a thatched roof, lazy mattresses and cushions. In another spot, there is a large, open-air, cushioned seating area with a timber decked floor, three parasols and a table.

This delightful social hub can easily accommodate 15 people, overlooking the river and positioned beside a lily pond complete with a tall, bubbling water feature. In yet another area, positioned on a stone terrace, is a massage pavilion, which is big enough for two. Imagine being indulged with a deeply relaxing massage while being serenaded by the birdsong and the sounds of the river! A guest washroom is also located in this vicinity.

The fast-flowing Penet River is particularly beautiful; it represents the border between Bali’s Tabanan and Badung Regencies. Majestic breadfruit trees, jackfruit trees, giant bamboo, fig trees and towering palms, are harmonised with creepers and ferns. The manicured jungle garden, meanwhile, showcases gnarled frangipani trees, yellow bamboo, parlour palms and pots of bougainvillea.
