The Villa
About
Villa Svarga is not just another luxury villa—it is a rare architectural gem set within the prestigious Batujimbar Estate, Sanur’s most exclusive gated community. Steeped in history and known for hosting Mick Jagger’s iconic wedding, Batujimbar is home to Bali’s elite, yet Villa Svarga manages to stand apart even within this distinguished enclave.
This five-bedroom sanctuary is a triumph of design, having earned both the 13th SIA Architectural Design Award for Residential Design (2013) and the Arc Asia Gold Award for Single Family Residential (2014). Villa Svarga blends award-winning contemporary architecture with a carefully curated collection of antiques and artifacts, creating a space that is both strikingly modern and deeply soulful. This is not just a place to stay—it is a destination in itself.
Despite its exclusivity, Villa Svarga places you at the heart of Sanur’s refined coastal lifestyle. While many of Bali’s beach destinations cater to late-night revelers, Sanur offers a more sophisticated experience—think sunset drinks, intimate gatherings, and leisurely seaside strolls. The villa is a mere five-minute walk from the town’s best boutiques and fine dining, while a private estate pathway leads directly to the beach, where a scenic boardwalk invites exploration by foot or bicycle. The newly opened ICON Shopping Mall, featuring Bali’s only IMAX theatre, is also just minutes away.
Step inside Villa Svarga and be captivated by its unique architectural details, from the sculptural spiral staircases to the expansive open spaces that invite both grandeur and intimacy. Mornings here begin with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, sipped poolside or on the rooftop lawn as the sun rises over Sanur. Afternoons drift by in effortless luxury—lounge with a book by the pool, savour a platter of tropical fruit, or host a long, leisurely lunch in the villa’s elegant dining spaces. As evening falls, the villa transforms into the perfect setting for memorable gatherings, whether a private yoga session at sunset or an intimate dinner party under the stars.
For those who seek a villa that offers more than just luxury, Villa Svarga is a true standout—an architectural wonder, a tranquil retreat, and a refined expression of Bali’s timeless beauty.
