Discovery Bay holiday villa

Located in Discovery Bay and built in 2000, Amanoka Villa (Aman-oka or "peaceful home" in Indonesian) is living proof that imagination when it is executed to perfection can produce magical results. All materials are of the finest quality and many of the authentic design elements were imported from Bali, especially much of the wood and woven cane used for some of the ceilings. This is truly a world-class villa of remarkable beauty.

The inner garden gate of Amanoka transports one into an unexpected world. The intimate, yet formal garden with fish pond leads the way to the main house. Crossing the garden bridge one enters a large entry hall, decorated with live orchids, that opens to a Balinese pavilion and infinity pool overlooking the blue waters of Discovery Bay.

The main house interior has a formal living room, dining room, family room with large screen TV, 3 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, powder room, swimming pool with spa and kitchen.
