Imagine: your own private hideaway.
Think unique: a secluded, luxury resort in Bali set amidst acres of lush tropical greenery. Add in forests and rice-fields wrapped in mountain mists, and lovingly landscaped gardens and water gardens.
Then picture five residences, each one special, singular in design, representing different cultures and areas of Indonesia. And also seven beautiful private villas. Of course, factor in all the pleasures of a world-class hotel.
Finally, feel yourself embraced, surrounded by a peace so profound that you know you will return often.
Now, be still, and know that you have discovered Begawan Giri Estate.
For centuries, the simple village folk living around have called it "Wise Man's Mountain". Today, the world's most sophisticated travellers are beginning to understand why.
Begawan Giri Estate...a vow to return often.
TIRTA - ENING (Clear Water)... The central, floating pavilion is reminiscent of old Javanese homes. Water-lily ponds surrounding the platform reflect the intricate beauty of the stone entrance.
TEJASUARA (Sound of Fire)...A primeval ambience depicting a sophisticated/primitive feel rooted in the island of Sumba, emanates from this habitation, constructed from 1,200 tonnes of stone imported from this island.
UMABONA (House of the earth Son)...The classical, rich, formal style of this residence owes its origin to the Majapahit palaces of long ago. The experience is further enhanced by the combination of elaborate interiors including hand carved doors, fine antiques, courtly furniture, touches of gilding, richly painted walls and fine, old textiles.
WANAKASA (Forest in the Mist)...This residence, set amongst the trees, overlooks the river and valley one hundred metres below. Its fresh, young atmosphere is closely integrated with the forests with pockets of trees found throughout the buildings, maintaining a feeling of the forest within.
