Villa Brahma <3|1>
After a few visits to Bali, we truly and utterly fell in love with this beautiful island. We had the desire to create a space according to our own taste, with creative freedom that would feel like home. Such a unique atmosphere is only achieved when owning your own home, rented accommodation does not even come close.
To begin with, our search led us initially to the South of the island where we had a look at quite a few properties. While the houses themselves were charming, they were often occupied by Balinese staff and their families in the absence of the owner. This realization had prompted us to focus our search on gated communities and small resorts. Luckily, we came across Holiway Garden Resort. Its romantic location right on the coast, boasting a stunning coral reef and dark, volcanic beaches was exactly what we were looking for and the decision was easy to buy one of the last remaining Villas in 2012.
We fell in love with Villa Brahma and its location with its uninterrupted views across landscaped gardens and the gleaming Indian Ocean. With a contractual clause, we made sure our view was protected and nothing could be built to obstruct it. Villa Brahma wasn’t quite finished yet so we had the freedom to realize our own ideas. Changes we made enabled us to implement our individual wants and needs.
Finally, in Mai 2013 we were able to move in and enjoyed our home ever since.
Many guests have so far confirmed a pleasant positive energy surrounding the house, credit to Brahma, the highest deity in Hinduism. This positive energy is also the reason why we feel so comfortable and relaxed in this villa.
Luckily we experienced the benefits of the North of the island as the climate is slightly drier, with less rain and more hours of sunshine than anywhere else in Bali. We were also happy to notice that tourist packed beaches are not a feature of the landscape. A new airport serving the North is soon becoming a reality which will safeguard and strengthen the investment considerably. Lastly it was important to us to be in striking distance of a bigger town with all its amenities and Singaraja hit the mark as former capital of Bali.
During our many stays, we met Austrians Eva and Franz and Swiss national Jan, who quickly became close friends.
In the meantime unexpected circumstances brought us to South Africa, were we are living now. This means that in the last 4 years we only were able to go to Bali 3 times.
Therefore, heavy heartedly, we decided to sell on our precious Villa Brahma. We would wish for nothing more than a buyer who will, like us, see and appreciate the magical uniqueness of Holiway Garden and our Villa Brahma. Whoever the lucky person(s) will be, we wish them the same happiness, positive energy and meaningful way of living we were party to, in the midst of inspiring and likeminded people.
Villa Chandra <4|5>
I clearly remember the moment when the thought came that I would like to have a home here in this beautiful and exotic place in the North of Bali. I was swimming out in the ocean, looking back towards the shore with its palm trees lining and the steep backdrop of the Balinese mountains, with these lush tropical forests covering their slopes. I had come to Holiway Garden Resort in May of 2013 as the resort urgently needed a replacement for a Yoga teacher who cancelled last minute. The first thing that struck me about Holiway was how the houses were so carefully placed in this manicured garden by the sea. Everything was so peaceful and harmonious. I was thinking that this is a place where people will come to recharge themselves and return home, deeply relaxed and with a newly found vitality and enthusiasm.
At the time I stayed at Holiway for 2 weeks, teaching Yoga to their guests and enjoying the tranquility and superbly maintained resort. Even though I was “working”, I felt like being on vacation. Oh, I have to mention that I had been living in Bali for more than 3 years already, starting in the Ubud area, but always feeling a strong attraction to quiet Eastern und Northern coastline of the island. Then came that moment during my 2 week stay at Holiway, floating in the Indian ocean, looking back at this little paradise heaven and thinking “Why not stay here for some time and get a house in this place”?
It turned out that all the villas had been sold already, but as luck wanted it, the buyer of the last finished villa had to cancel her contract, due to personal financial problems. The location of the villa, in the most undisturbed and private space of the resort, was ideal for me and with the sea-view from the upstairs balcony, I had both privacy and the calming sight of the ocean. So in August of 2013, I moved into Villa Chandra and made it my new residence in Bali.
One of the aspects I love most about Holiway is the Lotus Spa. I’ve been to many massage places on Bali and many more spas around the world, but there is something very special and unique about the atmosphere and care taking at the Lotus Spa at Holiway. Is it the carefully selected treatments, the heartfelt and skilled care-taking of the masseuses, the relaxed atmosphere by the sea or the tantalizing aromas of the natural oils? It’s probably a combination of all these that left me (and others) with an enchanted smile on my face after each visit there.
After some months at Holiway I decided to upgrade some of the features of the villa and give it a more personal note. I have added a second bathroom with bathtub and waterfall shower, a hand-crafted granite kitchen, a terrace extension (where I would do Yoga with the rising sun) and made some modifications and personalizations around the house, including some artistically hand-painted glass doors.
I was delighted with my new home and so are the many guests who stay here when I’m not using the villa for myself. But as fate wanted it, I had not only enjoyed a beautiful 3 years in my home at Holiway, but also found wonderful new friendships with Franz, Eva, Thomas, and Klaus there. Together we have found a new challenge for ourselves, a common vision to be realized in the center of Bali. It was not an easy decision to put my beloved Villa Chandra for sale and I deeply hope that a new owner will be as delighted with Holiway and Villa Chandra as have been these past years.
Villa Shiva <3|4>
Our search for a new home started long before we dared to dream about a life amongst Gods and Demons. Having spent our working lives in Austria, we always knew that we were ready for an adventure as soon as we retired. Extensive travels throughout the South East of Asia brought inspiration and nourished our appetite for the exotic but nothing would truly satisfy our soul. Our new home had to choose us…and so it did in the Summer of 2010.
While exploring the mystic Island of Bali, we felt ourselves drawn to the largely unspoilt north. An advert in an obscure magazine pointed the way to Holiday Garden. Still in its infancy, the resort was nothing more than a couple of villas within a construction site. Standing in front of the gaping whole which would hold the pool one day, we knew we had found our paradise. What we fell in love with was not only the place and its people but also the vision. A vision of growing old in a supportive community, immersed in Bali’s rich culture of ceremonies, togetherness and spiritual freedom. Holiway’s unique concept of respectful, peaceful living and integration of local and foreign cultures felt like a meeting of minds and we knew there and then that we had to stay.
Purchasing Villa Shiva before it was built gave us the opportunity for creative freedom within the Holiway Resort. Our intention was always to create another home, not just a place to stay and sleep in. We decided to fill our already familiar home with treasure from local artists, antiquities from Timor and furnishings lovingly crafted by a carpenter in our nearest village. What made our paradise perfect was our own precious mango tree right in front of our veranda. Little did we know then how many wonderful evenings we would spend in this spot, gazing at the ocean and forging relationships for life.
Villa Shiva definitely found us – she stands right in the centre of the resort, along the path or ‘holi way’ which is used by residents, holiday makers and locals alike. We felt right at home, in the heart of the community and our comfortable veranda was always filled with friends, inspiring conversation and the sound of music. Even members of staff would offer friendly hello’s and goodbye’s as they went about their daily business. Because of its position, Villa Shiva gave us the gift of a new social network that we never even dreamt of having. We became party of the local life and culture, celebrating births, mourning deaths and honouring ceremonies. Most important of all, we had created not only a home in paradise but we have also found a new family in Holiway’s residents and exceptional staff.
Newfound friendships with Klaus, Thomas and Jan have fuelled our desire for adventure again and inspired by Holiway’s creation we now set out to realise our own vision and dreams.
We are sad to say goodbye to our precious villa Shiva but it is time for her to find a new owner. While our attention has been turned to fresh projects, we sincerely wish for the new buyer to experience the same happiness and fulfilling peace that we have been granted in Holiway Garden over the past few years.
