Description

Dua Gils features a central shaped pool surrounded by one large, and three small, circular bales. The large bale has the restaurant downstairs. The three smaller guest bales are for individual rental.

Guest Bales

Each individual guest bale has an air-conditioned double bedroom downstairs. Off this bedroom is an indoor/outdoor bathroom, and private courtyard. Upstairs, each bale has an open air living area. Views of the ocean in front, and the mountains behind, dominate. There is a small outside balcony off the roofed area. Under cover, all bales have two day beds and a coffee table. Outside, there are two outdoor tables and a small side table. Mosquito netting can be drawn to enclose this area at night, or at any time during the day to provide privacy. Meals can be served in “your” living room, or taken at the restaurant downstairs.

Swimming Pool

The villagers believe it looks like a footprint, and believe it is the owners stamp on Bali. It is a kidney shaped pool about fourteen meters in length. The depth is only 1.4 meters, so there is no diving or jumping. It is however perfect for exercising. Much nicer to walk in the cooling water, than around the hot and humid surrounds.

Massage Bale

Tucked away in a corner is the massage bale. Here, in the privacy of an open air, but cocooned netted bale, you can enjoy one of our massages. Body scrubs, and other treatments can be taken in the walled courtyard of your individual bale.

Reading Bale

At the eastern end of the villa, there is a small bale with a double day bed. A perfect spot for reading a good book, or for getting out of the sun - without being out of the action. There is a small library in the restaurant, but at this time, the majority of books are in English.

Restaurant

This is in the large bale. It is not intended that this will become a restaurant open to the general public. While it seats twenty, it is provided for the guests, others who live around the villa in Mendira, and nice ex-pats who want a fresh salad, or a meal without lashings of Balinese spices. The menu does not include any red meat. There is a limited wine list, and you have to bring your own spirits. On the plus side, we use only the freshest ingredients, and the menu - while limited - changes daily. Breakfast is available all day. Lunch is available from midday, and dinner is served at 7.30 AM.

Location

Situated in the small village of Mandira, located just before Candi Dasa, is Villa Dua Gils. With the completion of the “very fast road” from Denpasar, it is 90 minutes from the airport. Perfectly situated in the Home of the Kings of Bali, the Regency of Karangasem, the village is overlooked by Mt Agung, Bali’s most sacred and highest volcano. The villa is situated in a small enclave of just seven houses, surrounded by coconut and banana groves.
