The villa is entered via a set of double antique doors leading from a small courtyard. Here, two Balinese statues rest in a serene lotus pond, with two trickling water spouts. Villa 1 is a one-bedroom Bali villa comprised of a semi-open air living and dining pavilion leading into a bedroom complete with an en-suite garden bathroom. The villa also boasts an elevated relaxation pavilion and a swimming pool.

The living and dining pavilion of this villa in canggu is open on two sides and features a soaring ‘alang alang’ thatched roof supported by coconut wood pillars above a cream terrazzo floor. Ceiling fans and gentle breezes keep this area cool; it's tastefully furnished with a cushioned sofa, chairs, and a circular table created from a mosaic of white coconut shell. The pavilion also integrates an open-plan kitchenette, for the use of the guests on those occasions when they might not need waiter/waitress service from the main Tamu Seseh service-kitchen. The kitchenette is located behind a terrazzo bar and is complete with a gas hob, fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, crockery and cutlery. Inside the fitted cupboards, guests will also find a stereo CD/cassette player.

A satellite TV and DVD player is positioned within a built-in alcove, and a ceiling fan provides additional comfort. A fitted cupboard houses a safe deposit box, together with a chest of drawers and ample hanging space. Local artwork adorns on the walls of this villa and boat-shaped lamps illuminate the pitched roof. The air-conditioned bedroom is accessed from the living area, the entrance marked by a pair of primitive-style Indonesian wood carvings. The bedroom features a cool terrazzo floor and a canopied queen-size four-poster bed.

Double antique doors lead into the en-suite garden bathroom where ‘his and hers’ washbasins with freestanding circular mirrors rest upon a terrazzo washstand. The washstand is sheltered by the eaves of the roof and garnished with brother of pearl sea shells. The romantic bathroom is planted with shrubs and bordered by a hedge of bamboo; a green tiled sunken bathtub is approached by four steps below a decoratively carved wall plaque. Stepping stones lead across loose pebbles to a sheltered outdoor shower, and the toilet is hidden in a recess. Sliding glass doors provide an alternative route into the main garden.
