Armfuls of white scented flowers, soaring palm trees and lawns scattered with frangipani trees all welcome you to this tranquil haven.  Smiling staff instantly make you feel at home. At Kemah Tinggi you will find the simplest pleasures become an enchanting experience.   This is an incredibly special and utterly cocooning bolt hole. 

Luxuriate in the details.  The enormous and supremely comfortable feather pillows by Ploh; the double sinks and Molton Brown products in the bathrooms; the oversized bathtubs and mammoth fluffy towels; and the fresh flowers & glowing candles.  Enjoy the owners' thoughtful touches.  It might be a daybed or sun lounger intuitively placed just where you want to flop, or a well-lit armchair in a quiet corner with somewhere beside it to place your drink or book.  You will also find sarongs neatly folded in your wardrobe to use for massages, lounging by the pool or visiting the village temple.

Professional masseurs can arrive to set out the villa's four massage beds wherever you fancy - in the privacy of your bedroom terrace or garden bathroom, on a verandah looking out to the waves on the horizon, or under the shade of the palm trees on the lawn.  The beautiful pool is perfect for laps, and its sunny ledges are ideal for reading a book, cool drink in hand.  Children will love the wide selection of traditional lawn games from giant dominoes to badminton, and you will enjoy having precious time to play together as a family.  Perhaps you will become embroiled in a hotly contested backgammon tournament with friends by the pool or suggest an entertaining round of Perudo after dinner.  Then there is the delicious and fragrant food prepared for you by the villa's two talented chefs at any time of day, as well as the convenience of a well-priced bar list. 

In sum or parts, Kemah Tinggi offers the chance of an intimate & unforgettable stay for two to eleven guests.  It more than satisfies all prerequisites for an idyllic villa holiday - the space to spread out, delicious food and plenty of choice in where to eat it, copious staff, evenly matched bedrooms, and a unique & beautiful setting. The kitchen is open-shelved and spotlessly clean, but it doesn't matter as you won't have to set foot in it. The laundry is fully equipped, but you won't care as clothes will reappear in your room neatly washed and pressed.  Relax, and let this villa exceed your expectations. 

Nevertheless, in the end it will be the staff that you will love most about the place.  They are attentive to your every need, quietly efficient, always there but never intrusive - a difficult balance to perfect.  Their genuine enthusiasm and warmth is charming and unpretentious.  Here is the real Bali, and in getting to know this lovely group of people you will be privileged to gain insights into local traditions and culture which would be impossible in the anonymity of a hotel.  Awake early and you will see one of the house girls making her way to the house shrine, sash tied round her waist and a tray of delicate offerings in her hand.  At night, the tinkling music of a gamelan might float across the pool as you enjoy a performance in the garden by the village orchestra.  If you're lucky perhaps you will be invited to don a sarong and witness the duties performed at a full moon ceremony at the temple in Seseh.  Magical, very special and, of course completely unforgettable.  

Wayan, the villa manager, is always on hand and will act as your personal concierge to help you with everything from restaurants and excursions to how you like your eggs.  He is your chauffeur & tour guide, and willing to take you wherever you wish in your comfortable 8 seater car, whatever the time of day or night.  The rest of the team will also do their utmost to pamper and care for you.  Rooms are serviced twice daily and turned down each evening; refreshing drinks are brought to you by the pool; children are kept entertained and supervised; menus are shopped for, laundry done and meals waited upon.  Two people are even on duty overnight to provide a discreet but comforting presence - and perhaps one more cocktail?

Such meticulous attention to detail is easy to get used to - and very spoiling.  Enjoy.  Nothing at Kemah Tinggi is too much trouble, everything becomes effortless, and all you have to do is to relax.
