Casa
Uluwatu

Casa Uluwatu is a small development of three-bedroom villas in Pecatu, on the southern tip of the Bukit. This is the part of Bali people come to for the clifftops, the surf at Padang Padang, and beach clubs like Savaya and Single Fin. The villas were designed to make the most of all of it.

The defining move was the rooftop. A spiral stair climbs from the courtyard to a top floor set up for actual use - an outdoor lounge, a dining area, and an ocean outlook across the peninsula. In a market where the view is half the booking, that extra level does a lot of work.

Down at ground level, the layout is open-plan and built around a private pool, with timber, stone, and natural finishes carried throughout. Modern, but warm enough to feel like a holiday rather than a showroom.

Most villas in this price bracket stop at two levels. Casa Uluwatu added a third - a rooftop - because in Uluwatu, height buys you the ocean. Getting there without the build feeling top-heavy was the design problem, and the answer was a light steel spiral stair that reads as a feature rather than an obstacle.

The material palette is deliberately tactile. Palimanan stone on the feature walls, teak panels on the ceilings, polished cement underfoot, Sukabumi tiles in the pool. These are materials that age well in Bali's climate and photograph beautifully under the kind of light the Bukit gets in the late afternoon.

Each villa came fully finished - furniture, sanitary, and kitchen appliances included - so owners could move it straight into rental or their own use without a fit-out phase.
