The edge, on Bali’s southernmost cliffs is luxury in the purest sense of the word. A cluster of three villas offering privacy, versatility, opulence and five star services and facilities to those with deep pockets who enjoy – nay demand – only the very best that the high life has to offer.
“Secure and paparazzi proof, if you have to ask how much, you can't afford it.”
Oh, yeah baby, this is what we’re talking about. The edge is all that and more as far as we are concerned, and we were a very happy couple to be able to experience it: massive, versatile and staffed to the hilt. Guests can remain as horizontal as the horizon – lazing on sunbeds with to-die-for views by day and hunkering down in one of the eight leather lay-z-boy chairs in the home cinema with rolling surround-sound and a stack of your favourite blockbusters by night.
Facilities? We’ll give you facilities. Apart from the home cinema, there’s a cigar smoking area in the wine cellar, a huge dedicated spa, a flat-screen TV in every room and, just quietly, a bowling alley is in the planning. It doesn’t stop there though; the three and five-bedroom villas have two pools each in addition to the communal pool. Kids will be in heaven with their dedicated playroom, which has slides, murals, games, books and not one but two games systems with a TV for each – could this concept of ‘no sharing’ perhaps be the secret to successful parenting?

Highlights
The views and the abject luxury rate pretty highly by international standards. There is nothing here that you could possibly want for and nothing is too much trouble. The home cinema is exceptional.
Surprises
We are hard pressed to find anything to complain about at The edge. Still, the price is high by anybody’s standards. This is a villa for people who have so much cash that it doesn’t matter…or someone else is paying. We do need to issue a warning about the monkeys that inhabit the cliff sides. They are nothing to be afraid of and they don’t visit often, it’s just that they are a little mischievous and will have your sunglasses or iPod in a flash if you’re not watching out. But not to worry, they can usually be coaxed back with the promise of a banana.

The Experience
The edge is so named because you can’t go any further; physically, mentally or stylistically. Far removed from the city, characterised by opulence and all the finer things that life can offer, this is a place for high rollers and society types to escape and spend their time and gotten gains. It’s a grand and sprawling ten-bedroom estate that hugs the cliff top on Bali’s southern Bukit Peninsula, 100 metres up above the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean. In fact, there’s nothing between The edge and infinity except Australia and the Ice.
The edge comprises three villas; two-bedroomed The Mood, three-bedroomed The Cliff, and the showpiece behemoth five-bedroomed The View. The villas can all be rented individually, but when taken as a ten-bedroom whole The edge should perhaps be renamed ‘The Experience.’ And what an experience it is! Extremely versatile, The edge accommodates up to 20 adults; it can be rented to suit guests’ needs and numbers, and extra kids’ beds are available. For those with romantic aspirations, it’s even possible to rent a lone one-bedroom villa right on the cliff’s edge. Consequently, one couldn’t ask for a better location for a wedding or major family function.
Each villa has its own private pool, (two pools in the case of The View and The Cliff), sun decks, living rooms and kitchens, while the communal facilities include a beautiful designer spa, a large free-form main pool, a gym, and a cliff-top bar and dining area. The only things missing are a Heli-pad and tennis courts, but choppers can land at the Bulgari next door and it’s too damn hot for tennis in Bali anyway.
The edge prides itself on fulfilling any guest request (within reason). Nearly all the cooking is done in The edge’s main kitchen by the resident gourmet chef and servedeby private butlers wheresoever guests choose to dine, be it in one of the stylish dining rooms, an alfresco balé, pavilion or in the communal dining pavilion. Secure and paparazzi proof, this is what the society pages are all about; if you have to ask how much, you can’t afford it.
There is simply nothing in the immediate vicinity apart from the truly exceptional view, an undescendable cliff, the vast Indian Ocean, and a couple of local shops selling cigarettes, cold drinks and instant noodles, but the villa is so self-contained it matters not a jot. The closest neighbour is the Bulgari Resort (700m) with two fine-dining restaurants.
About The Bukit The Bukit (which means ‘hill' in Indonesian) is a 140-square-kilometre rugged limestone peninsula that dangles like a pendant upon a chain at the southern tip of Bali. Until recently, this windswept outcrop - revered by the Balinese who have built a series of temples around its perimeter, including the spectacular Pura Luhur Uluwatu - was home solely to seaweed farmers, fisherman and die-hard surfers. In recent years, however, it has reinvented itself to become the most upmarket destination on the island. The Bukit now boasts some of Bali's most opulent destination villas, glamorous private estates, internationally-branded boutique hotels, and ‘One of Asia's 5 Best Golf Courses' according to Fortune Magazine, making it the area of choice for discerning travellers and residents. Most development has taken place along the isthmus connecting The Bukit to the rest of Bali, with the beautiful sunsets and sandy beaches of Jimbaran to the west and Benoa Harbour to the east. Further along the coast to the east, are a string of resorts and hotels set along the pretty swimming beaches of Nusa Dua. But despite recent development, The Bukit remains sparsely populated and has retained a desolate beauty. Its turquoise waters are the playground of migrating whales, and when the waves are calm and the tide is full, turtles and dugongs can be seen swimming close to the shore. The rocky landscape is dotted with wild flowers, manioc, prickly pear cactus, scarlet flowering flamboyants and fascinating kapok trees. The Bukit is also home to some of the most idyllic beaches in Bali; hidden sandy coves – a dream for both surfers and non-surfers alike (although not always safe for swimming). Even in the rainy season The Bukit is a reliable sun-trap.
About Bali Bali is Indonesia's most popular tourist location and is considered one of Asia's premier tropical island destinations. Steeped in history and renowned for its artistic way of life, Bali is a peaceful contrast to some of the more frantic destinations Asia has to offer. The inner peace and creative talents of the Balinese has attracted artists the world over fascinated by local dancers, silversmiths, wood carvers, potters and painters that seem to pervade throughout the island. The abundant verdant fields and surrounding sea have long supplied Bali with an easy surplus of food leaving time for life's more artistic past times. As a result everything in Bali has a creative and religious element centred around the local Banjar (residents association) – little, adorned temples are everywhere, doors are covered in intricate carvings, huge kites ward off evil spirits and colourful roadside ceremonies bring traffic to a standstill. Bali is a popular destination principally from Australia and Asia but also from all over Europe. The island welcomes thousands of visitors each year to a relaxing lifestyle, stunning beaches, world class surf, vibrant villages, and spectacular scenery all with an exquisite tropical climate. Located approximately two hours' flying time from Singapore the island is serviced by an international airport at Denpasar with direct flights to and from many major cities in Asia, Europe and Australia and many more via Jakarta, Indonesia's capital. The island offers an impressive range of leisure and lifestyle amenities including world-class golf courses, wonderful seascapes for surfing, diving and snorkelling as well as luxurious spas, chic boutiques, tropical forests, towering volcanoes and international cuisine.
The View introduces a grand living and dining room with a table for 14 and a deeply cushioned plush sofa for ten facing the pool deck and the ocean view. To the back of the dining area is a feature kitchen with a huge wraparound marble bar. Two master suites lead off from the living room; both have awesome sea views, king-size beds, individual colour themes, and elegant ensuite marble bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers, and jacuzzi tubs. King-bedded ensuite bedroom three is located to the rear of the living room. Bedrooms four and five are downstairs and are identical in design but open out to a lawn. A grand staircase descends to the lower level where, alongside bedrooms four and five, is a playroom, a wine cellar, home cinema and a second living room, which leads out to the ‘wedding lawn’ – all of these rooms are state-of-the art.
The Cliff has a connecting door to The View on the lower level. It presents a swimming pool, a dining area with a table for eight next to a bar with four high chairs, a library, two master bedrooms with king-size beds and ensuite bathrooms, and a separate one bedroom facility (complete with plunge pool and king-size bed) known as The Villa, which can be rented separately with the proviso that the other two bedrooms are unoccupied and locked.
The Mood comprises two upper level bedrooms with king-size beds and ensuite bathrooms, and an L-shaped, open-plan, living and dining area downstairs with a kitchen, bar and separate staff kitchen. This lower floor is surrounded by bi-fold floor-to-ceiling glass doors that lead out to a large deck and 13m swimming pool. The dining area has a majestic eight-seater dining table, while the living area is characterised by massive sofas, which could easily accommodate up to 20. The kitchen is well equipped and self contained.
The estate's communal facilities include a fully equipped gym, a spa and cliff-top restaurant and bar, all situated at the front of the property around the communal pool.
