The open-air Living and Dining Pavilion features a soaring roof lined with split bamboo, above a polished teak floor bordered by white Palimanan stone. Cooled by natural breezes and ceiling fans, this large room is the focal point of the villa; it opens directly onto the pool deck, providing an easy transition from indoors to out, and bamboo blinds can be dropped for privacy and shade. The style is both eclectic and funky, showcasing antique furnishings, enchanting Indonesian artefacts, tribal masks and local artwork. Two comfortable daybeds and a chunky coffee table are positioned at one end of the room, where there is also a TV, DVD and quality sound system housed within an antique wooden cabinet. With views of the beautiful garden, this is a lovely spot for relaxing; the owners of the villa have thoughtfully provided an ample collection of magazines, books, games, DVDs and music CDs. The centre of the pavilion is furnished with low, circular table, inlaid with polished coconut shell. Surrounded by four low leather chairs and cushions, this can be used for dining, socialising or playing cards and board games. A formal dining table for eight is positioned at the far end of the pavilion next to the Kitchen. A striking feature is the carved Palimanan stone frieze, which depicts a scene from the five-thousand-year-old Hindu epic, the ‘Mahabaharata’, a tale of intrigue and conflict among kings, demons, gods and sages.
