The architect of Khayangan Estate is Cheong Yew Kuan, one of Asia’s leading resort and luxury villa architects, and the principal designer is Jasmine Saunders-Davies, who together with her husband owns the villa. The architecture blends Javanese tradition with contemporary design and European influences. The buildings incorporate an abundance of recycled teak wood in the form of floorboards, doors and elaborately-carved ‘pondopo’ centrepieces. This is complemented by ironwood shingle roofs and natural stone finishes. The front and side wall panels have been replaced with ceiling to floor glass, giving the buildings a contemporary feel, and allowing more natural light to enter.

The Estate is supported by a carefully selected team of highly trained staff including chefs, housekeepers, gardeners and security guards. Khayangan Estate welcomes children of all ages, cots and high chairs can be provided. Baby-sitting services, together with the facilities of a car, a driver, a tour guide and extra staff are also available on request. Security guards are on duty day and night.
