“Five-star all the way and so cleverly designed that anyone, whether a movie siren or a fashion designer, can revel in complete privacy in what must be one of the most beautiful regions in the world”

“An Emerald Jewel… a spectacular villa brings Bali to Byron. Jump into the swimming pool and it feels like silk on your skin. Like swimming in a bottle of Evian, only much better because you’re swimming in Emerald Valley Spring Water. An aquifer supplies the entire Villa and grounds with the purest spring water to drink and swim in”
