Villa Markisa is one of four luxury villas on the Pandawa Cliff Estate, set high above the ocean on Balis scenic Bukit peninsula - a wedding and event venue par excellence. The villa has been intelligently designed to give friends and family groups a fantastic level of privacy and flexibility. Its accommodation is arranged as a superlative cliff-edge master suite - the estates Bridal Suite, a pair of two-level two-bedroom interconnecting apartments, a communal living pavilion, three pools and a breezy cliff-edge bale. Guests enjoy the estates sports centre with gym, spa, tennis and squash courts, plus polished service from a huge staff team.
One of just four villas in the exclusive Pandawa Cliff Estate, Villa Markisa is set on the cliff 100 metres above Pandawa Beach on Balis southernmost tip. Cloud-free azure skies, sheer cliffs dropping to white-sand beaches, and the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean create panoramic views. An Ironwood staircase leads to the raised garden of Pandawa Estates Villa Rose to the east, and the rooftops of the neighbouring villa peek over a high wall to the west. Pandawa Beach is a short drive away - there, you can swim, snorkel, hire a kayak or sip an ice cold Bintang at one of the simple local warungs. This is possibly the remotest part of southern Bali  and yet Uluwatus revered cliff-top temple, the islands famed surf breaks, the Bali National Golf Club, the famed fish restaurants of Jimbaran Bay, and even the airport, are all a short half-hour drive away.

Location
Peacefully and privately situated, at the end of a winding country lane on Bali's southernmost tip, The Pandawa Cliff Estate is a hidden paradise overlooking the Indian ocean from its enchanting cliff-top setting.
Apart from a handful of other luxury villas sprinkling the cliff top, and the beach huts and local cafes bordering the white sands of Pandawa Beach far below (named after the five warrior brothers of the Mahabharata epic, whose white stone statues are carved into niches along the road leading down to the beach), there is little development in this unspoiled corner of Bali. But despite it's tranquil, rural setting, The Pandawa Cliff Estate is less than 30 minutes' drive from Bali's international airport, and within easy reach of several glorious surf beaches, the sacred sea temple of Uluwatu, and the many restaurants and beach bars of Jimbaran and Nusa Dua.
