Villa Umah Daun - Pool and villa

Explore the Villa

Layout

Set within beautiful gardens and surrounded by rice paddies, Umah Daun comprises a series of linked pavilions cradling a generous pool and sun deck.  After entering the villa across a pond, one arrives in the living pavilion, which is linked via an open veranda to the main pavilion.  The dining room, kitchen and media room occupy the ground floor of the main pavilion, while the library, two twin bedrooms and a rooftop terrace lie above.  Beyond a grand staircase is the games room and the two-storey master bedroom pavilion.  On the far side of the living pavilion, a bridge leads to the fifth bedroom and the kids’ playroom.

Bedrooms

Villa Umah Daun - Jakaranda master suite

Jakaranda master suite

The palatial Jakaranda master suite spans luxuriously across the entire top floor of the western-most pavilion, opening onto a large deck that overlooks the sweep of rice terraces beyond. Below a soaring leaf-shaped roof hangs a ceiling fan, and the air-conditioned suite has its king-size antique bed centrally positioned on the polished Merbau-wood floor for optimum views across the pool. A corridor leads, via two walk-in wardrobes, to the huge bathroom with double basins, state-of-the-art multi-jet monsoon shower, and bathtub set before opaque doors that slide back to reveal the view beyond.

Jasmine guest bedroom

The Jasmine guest bedroom occupies the ground floor of the master bedroom pavilion. This huge light-filled bedroom is lined with windows, its views across the pool reflected in the king-size bed's mirrored headboard, and features a private deck bordering the rice fields, a dressing area and a spacious marble bathroom with statement bathtub, curved double vanity and walk-in rain shower.  Jasmine has air-conditioning and a ceiling fan and can also be configured as a twin-bedded room on request.

Gardenia guest bedrooms

Sharing a separate pavilion with the kids’ playroom, the Gardenia guest bedroom gives a couple an extra degree of privacy as well as easy access to the garden and pool.  It features a four-poster king-size bed, has air-conditioning, a ceiling fan and an ensuite shower room.

Waterlily and Morning Glory guest bedrooms

The bright interiors of these inter-connected bedrooms situated upstairs in the main pavilion provide cheerful accommodation for kids, each with twin beds and a single daybed (the twins can also be configured as kings making the rooms equally suitable for adults).  Rainbow-coloured batik bedding provide splashes of colour.  Both bedrooms have air conditioning units and ceiling fans, and the ensuite bathrooms feature leaf-shaped basins and statement bathtubs as well as showers.

Living Areas

Guests at Umah Daun can enjoy a wide choice of living areas spread throughout the estate – some large enough to accommodate a full house, some set back in private corners for those looking to retreat from the crowd.

Under a towering leaf-shaped roof, two sitting areas furnished with leather armchairs and plush upholstered sofas form the heart of Umah Daun’s living pavilion.  Finely carved antique pillars decorate the curved walls, and bi-fold doors pull back completely, creating a seamless transition between the living space and the undulating pond that hugs its contours, replicating the rice terraces beyond.

Villa Umah Daun - Media room

A handsome teak wood table over five metres in length occupies the centre of the dining room, where bi-fold doors open onto a fountain-sprinkled fish pond at the rear and expansive views towards the pool and rice fields at the front. Up to 14 guests can comfortably gather around this table for formal dinners, seated on cushioned armchairs of plaited bamboo.
Beyond a large sit-up bar is the villa’s open-plan, professionally equipped kitchen, leading to a second staff kitchen tucked out of sight.

Opening onto the dining room is the media room, where leather armchairs and sofas are set before a display wall with a 60-inch TV, DVD player and Sonos Playbar sound system.

A fuchsia pink, baize pool table resting on a patterned kilim is the focus of the games room – a ritzy space with antlered wooden trophy heads adorning teal green walls, a 40-inch wall-mounted TV and a pair of bar tables for in-between-game drinks (kept chilled in the colour-coordinated pink-and-black bar fridge).

On the second storey, with views skimming the neighbouring rooftops, Umah Daun’s library is a comfortable place to retreat to in the company of a good book. Sink into a leather armchair set on the cow-hide rug and get lost for a few hours.

Beanbags in neon turquoise and pink cover the floor of the cute playroom, reached by a bridge across ponds at the tip of the living pavilion. Here, kids can watch a film on the 40-inch TV, play games on the PS3, or bring out their competitive streak with one of many board games. A spiral staircase leads to the mezzanine level where more beanbags encourage laid-back banter. There’s also an ensuite shower room here.
