stone entrance.
The residences understated elegance is inherent in the simple lines and materials
from matted ceilings and woven banana fabric panels to the bronze basins in the bathrooms.
A highlight of the residence is the many
hand-carved doors and stone carvings throughout. They were fashioned exclusively for
Tirta-Ening by a local artist trained by Donald Friend. The lower Guest Suite bathroom is
a work of art in itself. Much of the residences furniture comprises Chinese
antiques, woven leather furniture from the Philippines as well as pieces upholstered with
silks from Thailand.
The expansive Master Suite with its floating
bathhouse features a six-tonne, single stone bath, an outdoor shower and a Jacuzzi set
amidst a water garden pool and meditation pavilion.
From every corner of the deck, the muted sounds of cascading water in the valley below
adds to the water element.
In
addition to the Master Suite, Tirta-Ening has one spacious
Deluxe Suite, with a panoramic view, one Terrace Suite and
an additional Guest Suite at pool level. The calming element
of water can be seen and heard from all parts of this serene
residence and the combination of simplicity and craftsmanship
make it an ideal contemplative environment.
