Villa Markisa is an exceptional retreat peacefully and privately situated, at the end of a winding country lane on Bali's southernmost tip, The Pandawa Cliff Estate is a hidden paradise overlooking the Indian ocean from its enchanting cliff-top setting.

This five-bedroom villa will be especially appreciated by couples and families who enjoy holidaying together but also treasure having their own private space. The ocean-view guest pavilion holds a pair of matching two-bedroom units, each with its own living and dining rooms and pool. Hovering high above the ocean, and tucked below the property's generous lawn, is the splendid one-bedroom master suite, again with its own living room and pool. An open-sided living pavilion and a large cliff-edge bale provide communal living and dining areas.

The social heart of this home is the huge open-sided living pavilion that looks out over the vast expanse of lawn separating the guest wing from the cliff-edge master suite. This is the perfect place for afternoon tea reclining on stylishly over-sized rattan chairs, or for gathering family and friends around the eight-seater dining table for an early evening barbecue. Set on the large ironwood decks that front each of the villa's three swimming pools are all-weather rattan tables and sun-loungers or love seats. There is further turquoise-cushioned sea-view seating on a fourth deck that forms the roof of the master suite.
