This stylish four-bedroom beach villa has a striking modern design and provides the ultimate in luxurious living. Designed for the beach-lover in mind, the villa has large, louvered windows which let in plenty of sunlight and capture varying frames of the panoramic ocean beyond, and a small araliya-shaded garden – complemented by an exquisite infinity pool made using Balinese tiles – leads directly onto the soft sands of Dalawela Beach which, thanks to its coral lagoon, offers safe swimming all year round. ‘Ambalama’ means resting place, and it could not be more apt. Stepping stones placed across a shallow pool mark the entrance way to the house, which lead into an inviting open-plan living and dining area with a lofty ceiling and cool terrazzo floor, furnished with vivid sofas and eye-catching artwork which stand out against the natural color scheme that runs throughout the property. Imposing double teak doors take you from here into the small enclosed garden, where more seats and sunbeds make this an idyllic setting to sip a sundowner in full view of the sea. The villa has a staff of six: an English-speaking manager-cum-chef, three housekeeping staff, a gardener and a night-watchman.
