Desa Seni: A Village Resort
After our luxurious transition to Indonesia, we now find ourselves at Desa Seni, a reproduction of an Indonesian village. Our village house, aka Rumah Tinggal, was imported from central Java and dates back to the 1920’s. Made entirely of teak, the house’s antique furnishings, including our very own prayer box, a door from a rice storage house, Balinese wood carvings, a traditional loom-cum-towel rack and a wooden trough for a toilet roll holder, were lovingly collected (by a Canadian, no less) from around the country. Surrounded by working rice fields, this is our first taste of Indonesian life…complete with AC, HBO, and what seems to be a 3:1 staff-to-guest ratio.
Desa Seni prides itself on organic living, and most of the vegetables and fruit are grown here on the property. Right next to the giant salt water infinity pool. The place is definitely one of the most unique places we’ve stayed, and well worth the Rupiahs.
