Villa Simona

Simona Oasis & Spa - a luxury Bali private villa

Ensconced in rice fields in southern Bali, a few hundred meters inland from the coast, nestled upon its own private island within the two arms of a meandering river, is the Simona Oasis & Spa – a truly unique and spectacular estate home that has already been hailed as ‘Bali’s Best’.
This magnificent five bedroom villa boasts a delicate architecture that pays homage to the true architectural traditions of the island while infusing contemporary elements to present a novel offer to its honored guests.

Simona Oasis & Spa (Simona Villa Bali) offers everything that you could possibly require within a single envelope, including fine dining, 24-hour personal butler service, dedicated spa, beautiful swimming pool, and numerous close-to-nature relaxation areas.
The approach to Simona Oasis & Spa is by way of a paved driveway, which winds through the rice terraces, towards a wooded valley and over a bridge onto the river island.

A grand Balinese gateway opens to reveal an entrance garden, complete with traveler’s palms and a huge Palimanan stone wall showcasing a splendid carving of tropical leaves. Yet, even at this stage, you will still have no idea of the blissful Oasis that lies within. Expect to be surprised…

From here onwards your senses will be awakened by the purity, spirit and timelessness of an extraordinary landscape. You will be greeted by welcoming Balinese smiles, by the fragrance of tropical flowers, the songs of the birds and the ceaseless murmur of the river on both sides.
The chic contemporary architecture of Simona Oasis updates traditional aesthetic principles with Italian flair. Sleek, spacious structures with an abundance of light are resourcefully integrated into the natural contours of the land, reflecting the ambience of the location.

In this one-of-a-kind sanctuary, every comfort has been considered and personal service is of the essence. Baths can be taken under the stars and showers can be taken in the sunshine within walled garden bathrooms. Shady verandahs and ‘bale’ relaxation pavilions offer plenty of quiet corners to curl up with a book or to enjoy a sunset cocktail. Secluded, tranquil and enchanting, this is a very special haven, which combines the intimacy of a private home with a level of service more commonly associated with the finest hotels.
24-hour butler service helps define the service team who see every guest request as a challenge to excel. Hospitality may be a lost art in some places but not at the Oasis…

There is an intense spiritual energy at Simona Oasis; during construction, workers discovered a natural spring, seventy meters below the ground; this holy spring now provides drinking water to the village, and appreciation is expressed daily in the form of flower-filled offerings to the gods and embraced within the architecture of the villa.

Through a melodic interplay of graceful lines, angles, planes and curvilinear forms, Simona Oasis & Spa presents tropical living, dining and bathing at its very best. If you choose to stay at this exclusive retreat, you will experience Bali’s ultimate in elegance, indulgence, quixotic beauty and genuine luxurious appeal. In fact, you will never want to leave…

Accommodation

Dappled by trees during the day and softly lit by candles at night, the gardens link a series of thatched pavilions for sleeping, lounging and dining. The layout of the villa utilizes space, offering a captivating mix of luxury and privacy.

Spa

While many villas in Bali offer spa services, only a handful provide the facility of a professional dedicated spa onsite, fully-equipped with the amenities of a commercial spa, complete with highly-trained therapists who will pamper you with some of Bali’s most exotic spa elixirs. In the creation of its Spa, Simona Oasis was a pioneer in this new, trendsetting concept in luxury holiday lifestyle.
The Spa is positioned on the venerated apex of the island where the two river tributaries are reunited; a magical setting, accessed by a bridge under a pergola dripping in cascading lilac thunbergia.

The Spa comprises five open-sided roundhouses following the architectural style of Irian Jaya, complete with conical thatched roofs. These breezy, romantic pavilions shelter massage beds while providing easy access to a dedicated icy cold plunge pool and a hot Jacuzzi.
Additionally, a gorgeous pair of stone bathtubs rests within an alfresco pool; each tub is hand-carved in the form of a two-headed elephant with flowers engraved upon its flanks and water spouting from its trunks.

The Spa completes itself with a yoga & meditation deck beside a gentle water cascade. On the opposite side of the river is Batur Sari Temple, where the local Balinese people make offerings of flowers and fruit to the gods.

Pure spring water is the key element at the Spa, making it ‘a place with the water of life’. The extensive menu presents ‘Four-Hand Massage’, ‘After-Sun Therapy’, ‘Reflexology’, ‘Simona Facial’, and the lymphatic-drainage massage designed to reduce fluid retention and cellulite.
Traditional scrubs include ‘Balinese Boreh’, an ancient village remedy for the relief of muscular aches and pains after long days of toiling in the rice fields – potent spices and herbs are blended into a fragrant paste and applied to your body as a warming, healing masque.
Treatments for men are emphasized, as are rituals for lovers, such as the ‘Honeymoon Package’, which incorporates a green tea scrub, an aromatherapy hair treatment and ‘Cleopatra’s Bath’… surrounded by nature and harmonized by the glorious song of the river.
