N BALI'S idyllic Jimbaran where nature blends seamlessly with tradition, The Chedi Club Jimbaran Bay opens in 2016 with 33 hideaway pool villas, sequestered in a private estate down a mysterious, narrow, bamboo-lined lane. It is arrival with a difference. The imposing elevated grey stone lobby, is minimalist and stately, with the main pool in the centre and two enclosing arms on either side. This central meeting point hosts a Gym a Library (for reading or even small meetings), a Restaurant and Spa.

A One-Bedroom Deluxe Pool Villa offers 375sq m of sun-dappled estate set in a private courtyard with foliage (frangipanis, traveller palms and bamboo) and a blue strip pool. Pale limestone walls inscribe your domain with twin balés set on either end of the pool. The timber patio leads to a thatch-roof villa bedroom that is appealing in its simplicity with a four-poster bed and that essential holiday luxury, free WiFi.

The open-plan bathroom features a hand carved granite soaking tub for romantics, a rain shower, twin vanities for him and her with Ylang-Ylang toiletries and cream terrazzo flooring. Expect a laptop-friendly safe, gleaming coconut-shell cabinets, soothing water features, and wraparound sliding glass panels that permit green views and light from every angle. Behind one outdoor balé is a full kitchenette – and the butler is a call away. Find a huge television and comfy seating here. Cook or read a good book.

Though not on the beach, this indulgent playground with beaming, attentive butlers and usefully attractive hi-tech touches is secluded and spoiling, with a 4,000sq m four-bedroom Estate set aside for events and romantic Bali weddings. You won’t miss the surf. Pick this for a family get-together, a CEO chinwag, or a splendid retreat for navel gazing.
