About Sohamsa Ocean Estate
It’s hard to pick a favourite from these two glorious villas, perched on the clifftop on the edge of the Bukit peninsula in the southernmost part of Bali. Boasting magnificent vistas of the entire island, Sohamsa makes all your island dreams come true. If your idea of bliss is waking up to ocean views, then practically every room in both, five-bedroom Villa Soham and five-bedroom Villa Hamsa, fit the bill.
A saga of contemporary elegance, Sohamsa Ocean Estate has been designed by award-winning Singapore architect Ernesto Bedmar. You will find abundant hints of Indonesia’s natural materials in soaring recycled ironwood pillars, Merbau-wood pavilion roofs, and walls of Riverstone and Palimanan stone. Within the sophisticated interiors, brightened with an au courant palette of cool grey and white, are inspired design flourishes: signature walls of Bengkirai-wood blocks that bring sparks of light into both living pavilions; headboard panelling made of lacquered rice sacks in all the bedrooms; and over-sized resin-candle pendant lights suspended above Italian Statuario marble-topped dining tables.
The soul of these stunning clifftop villas is the professionally trained staff team led by the highly experienced Villa Manager – dedicated to treating each guest like a celebrity. At their heart is the accomplished chef, whose spectacular dishes mirror the inventiveness and elan of the setting in which they’re served. Dining at Sohamsa is a treat and you will find it difficult to step out for a single meal.
Whether the villas are booked separately, or together for as many as 20 guests, Sohamsa Ocean Estate is perfect for events. From corporate training to wellness retreats, the villas offer world-class facilities and gourmet dining. The exclusivity of the location allows for private events. Meanwhile, with a chauffeured car at your service, you can take the after party to the white-sand Pandawa Beach in minutes. Bali’s best loved surf breaks, sea temples and seafood restaurants are within a half hour’s drive. It truly is difficult to find a villa so private yet located within minutes of amazing restaurants and beaches, without having to traverse busy traffic-lined roads.
The owners chose a Sanskrit phrase for the estate name; ‘Soham’ – and its inversion ‘ham-sa’ (translating as ‘I am he’) references oneness with the universe and the presence of divinity in each soul. It’s an apt name as this beautiful setting is sure to inspire awe and contemplation on the beauty and richness of life.
