sunsets, it presents funky architecture, three swimming pools plus a children's pool, a stand-alone two-

This is tropical living and barefoot luxury at its very best; a place where guests can truly escape. Villa
3424 is secluded and lusciously private but by no means isolated; prestigious neighbours include the
Lombok Golf Kosaido Country Club, Hotel Tugu and The Oberoi, and the coral-fringed Gilli Islands,
with their superb dive sites, are just a short boat ride away.
About Villa 3424
Canadian architect David Lombardi's concept of ᠀䘀甀渀挀琀椀漀渀 over Form' leaves Villa 3424's guests with
a sense of discovery and surprise at every turn, from the traditionally styled, grass-roofed building that
houses the main kitchen to a futuristic home theatre. Furnishings carry a signature colour theme of
black, red and lime green, while the walls are adorned with flair - bamboo, water cascades and
conceptual artwork. The first clue to the quirky nature of the artwork is a white sculpture in the
coconut grove garden which, in huge black letters, suggests that we should ‘Stop Making Sense'.
The view from the villa's open-sided living and dining room, bedrooms and bathrooms is unrivalled;
here guests can look forward to a vista that is ever-changing with the moods of the sea, sky,
neighbouring islands, distant mountains, forests and colourful fishing boats. At night, after a
magnificent sunset, the scene becomes even more magical as the moon's reflection twinkles on the
water, presenting a picture of tranquillity and unforgettable beauty.
A full team of staff is on hand at Villa 3424 to look after every guest's need with superb cuisine and
service. The villa's manager, chef and head butler were all previously employed by The Oberoi Hotel
Group and have been trained to the highest level. A wide range of activities is available to villa guests,
including golf, snorkelling, diving, waterfall hikes and mountain trekking, cycling, day trips to the
nearby Gili Islands, cooking classes and more.

residence with a 25m swimming pool and a children's pool, plus a stand-alone guest pavilion with two
more swimming pools, set well away from the main house. Also within the villa's grounds are a floodlit
tennis court and a lumbung (traditional rice barn) massage pavilion.
The main building is entered via a timber pathway, lined with fire torches. This leads past a feature wall

of bamboo and a cascading wall of water. Running parallel to the beachfront, the main building
incorporates the living and dining areas, kitchens, three of the five bedrooms, the study and the home
theatre.
The guest pavilion is built into a manmade hill capped with grass, and presents an open-sided sitting
area and two bedrooms, one of which is semi-subterranean. Both bedrooms are complemented by a
deck and a private swimming pool.
Bedrooms
Bedroom 1
Villa 3424's master bedroom is accessed from the living room via an unusual swivel door. Cooled by
both air-conditioning and ceiling fan, this spacious room features concrete floors and white walls
adorned with artwork.
A king bed with coconut-shell veneer takes pride of place, while floor-to-ceiling windows look out over
an ornamental pond against a backdrop of garden and sea. The ensuite bathroom presents three
distinct areas, one of which contains clothes storage and a twin vanity. The main bathroom area features
circular skylights that channel the sunshine and moonlight, a multi-faceted shower and a bathtub next
to a picture window that looks out towards the ocean. Beyond this, a rain shower stands open to the
tropical elements in the garden.
Bedroom 2
Also located off the living room, this air-conditioned and fan-cooled guest bedroom is ideal for kids or a
young family with its king-size four-poster bed that neatly incorporates a large trundle bed below its
frame. This wooden-floored room is also furnished with wardrobe storage and a funky blue chair which
hangs from the ceiling.
The ensuite bathroom is fitted with a resin-topped vanity unit and features an outdoor shower screened
for privacy. Doors slide open from the bedroom onto a private terrace where a furnished deck lies
beside a pond overlooking the garden.
Bedroom 3

7. Villa 3424 Fact Sheet
Similar to bedroom 2 in size and layout, bedroom 3 is furnished with a king-size bed crafted in coconut
shell which ᠀昀氀漀愀琀猀✀ above a sea of white pebbles. A sliding door opens to an ensuite bathroom fitted
with a vanity unit embedded with colourful guitar plectrums and an outdoor shower screened for
privacy.
This bedroom also has its own private terrace, accessed from the bedroom, which features a furnished
deck beside a pond with garden views.
Bedroom 4
There are two urban-chic air-conditioned bedrooms in the guest pavilion. One of these, on the same
level as the sitting area, features polished concrete floors, walls and ceiling. It is furnished with a king
bed, a desk and fitted wardrobes. Glass doors slide open to a sheltered wooden deck beside a private
swimming pool.
The ensuite indoor bathroom has a tub facing the sea and a single vanity unit. An outdoor ᠀戀愀洀戀漀漀
pipe' shower opens to the garden.
Bedroom 5
A flight of stairs in the guest pavilion descends to a semi-subterranean bedroom with a steeply curved
concrete roof. Despite its unusual situation, the room is filled with plenty of natural light courtesy of a
wall of glass opening to a second private swimming pool where sunbeds rest on a timber deck.
Furnished with a king bed featuring decorative white pebbles underneath, this air-conditioned
bedroom has a huge walk-in wardrobe and a sitting area next to the glass doors. The ensuite bathroom
has a tub facing the sea, a single washbasin and an alfresco poolside rain shower, sheltered by a roof and
sheer white curtains.
Indoor living
Living and dining
Villa 3424's living and dining areas are situated in the main open-fronted pavilion with its warmly-
hued wooden floor and soaring timber-framed roof hung with pendulous rectangular lanterns. The
sitting area is furnished with modular sofas and ottomans (big enough to seat 22 guests) crafted in

8. Villa 3424 Fact Sheet
coconut shell veneer. The picture is completed with a huge piece of artwork and two arched stainless
steel reading lamps.
The dining area is positioned adjacent to the kitchen at the opposite end of the main building. Here, an
impressive wooden dining table is complemented by 14 cushioned chairs with covers revealing a flash
of scarlet.
The guesthouse features an open-sided flat-roofed sitting area with a concrete floor, six comfy chairs
and a solid wood coffee table.
Kitchens
The villa presents two kitchens connected via a bridge over an ornamental pond. At the front, adjacent
to the dining area, is a cutting-edge feature kitchen fashioned in white lacquer with a service bar crafted
in resin and lit by three original ᠀䌀愀洀瀀愀爀椀 Light' suspension lamps. Designed by Raffaele Celentano,
each lamp has been created using ten genuine Italian Campari Soda bottles in original condition
complete with the Campari inside. This kitchen is equipped with a Nespresso coffee maker and a five-
burner gas hob and oven.
Behind the feature kitchen, a bridge over a pond connects a stand-alone building reminiscent of a
Lombok cottage - rustic and charming on the outside, with a thatched roof, a traditional Lombok
double door, and random rock Lombok stone walls, yet a state-of-the-art working kitchen on the
inside, fully equipped with professional appliances.
Study
A ᠀猀攀挀爀攀琀✀ door from the living space opens into the study. This air-conditioned oval room has a
wooden floor that slopes upwards into the room. Characterised by curved walls of white stone and
glass, and with views of the garden, the study is furnished with a centrally positioned large desk and
chair and accessorised with funky lights and black & white framed photographs.
Within the study is a concrete ᠀昀甀渀渀攀氀✀ housing a circular shower room with a skylight at the top.
Around its outside wall, the shower room supports a wooden spiral staircase which leads up to the
rooftop where a metal ladder drops back down to the living area. A king-size bed can be installed in the
study to convert it into an additional bedroom if required.

9. Villa 3424 Fact Sheet
Home theatre
The extraordinary ᠀猀瀀愀挀攀ⴀ愀最攀✀ home theatre room is wrapped in bamboo and appears to hover above
the ground. With its sides of glass and heavy sliding door accessed via a solid stone step, this unique
building features funky ceiling lamps and a polished concrete floor upon which ten beanbags - one lime
green and nine red - are arranged for comfortable viewing.
A large flat-screen satellite-channel TV and DVD player is positioned at the far end of the room, with
surround-sound channelled through speakers in each corner.
Spa/massage room
A thatched lumbung (traditional rice barn) featuring ornate carvings and wooden shutters and
furnished with two massage beds serves as a fan-cooled spa room in the garden. A washroom is
positioned next to the lumbung, its curved roof planted with grass and its rustic shower, crafted from
bamboo, open to the sky.
Outdoor living
Swimming pools and pool decks
The main swimming pool extends for 25 metres between the beach and the main house. It is deep
enough to dive into and has a springboard for that purpose. Sunloungers rest upon the grassy deck and
a modern flat-roofed balé (relaxation pavilion) sits at one end. Running alongside the main pool is a
shallow (80cm-deep) children's pool. Two more swimming pools serve the guesthouse on two
different levels, both of them are bordered by small timber decks.
Garden
Dotted with dozens of towering coconut palms, the garden fronts onto the beach and is so huge that
guests will have no problem escaping to private areas. A wooden structure in one corner of the grounds
serves as an elevated, sheltered platform for watching tennis on the adjacent, floodlit court.

15. Villa 3424 Fact Sheet
In the meantime, here is a taste of the many and varied activities on offer within reach of the villa.
If you want to go shopping in Lombok, don't expect modern malls or designer clothing; instead seek
out local products. Sweta's ‘Bertais Market' at Mataram (31km) sells everything that is made or
produced on the island, including Lombok's intricate basketware. Pearl sellers occasionally walk along
Sira Beach and will offer you their wares, expect to be hassled a bit, and remember to barter. For quality
and range of pearls, the best option is to visit the specialist retail outlets in Sekarbele, near Mataram
(31km).
Banyumulek (40km) is one of the three main pottery centres on the island; in the mornings, you can
watch the women potters at work. At the traditional weaving village of Sembalun (77km) in the foothills
of Mt Rinjani, you can witness the production of the island's striking hand-woven textiles. The
beautiful fabrics are created on manually-operated back strap looms.
Lombok Golf Kosaido Country Club, designed by Peter Thompson, lies within Sira Bay. A golf buggy
can pick you up to enjoy this uncrowded and serene 18-hole championship course (nine coastal holes
and nine tucked in the shade of the majestic Mount Rinjani).
Eat out for a change of scene. Inspect the history, artefacts and curios of nearby funky Hotel Tugu, a
living museum of Indonesian antiques and local artwork, over a beachside lunch or dinner. Or enjoy the
gourmet food at the 5-star Oberoi Resort and The Lombok Lodge which is opposite the Oberoi.
Visit the Gili islands to experience a different side of Lombok. Of the three small coral-fringed islands,
Gili Meno and Gili Air are fairly quiet and Gili Trawangan has the nightlife. Cidomos (Horse drawn
carts) or bicycles and lazy beachside cafes set the scene with no high rise buildings, no motorised
vehicles and not a McDonald's in sight. The villa manager can arrange a boat transfer.
Investigate the attractive market village of Tanjung, where stalls overflow with mysterious and exotic
produce such as locally grown tobacco, coffee, soya and peanuts.
For a gentle trek, head to Senaru village, the gateway to Rinjani National Park. Local Sasak guides will
show you the park's two beautiful waterfalls of Sindang Gila and Tiu Kelep.
Do nothing. Relax, Robinson Crusoe-style, on your own deserted beach in the shade of the palm trees,
taking a cooling dip in the blue ocean or the refreshing swimming pool.
Revitalise and rejuvenate with an in-villa massage treatment. Try a deep pressure Balinese massage, a
cleansing facial or a simple manicure from professional therapists from The Oberoi Hotel. Or head off
to the neighbouring Hotel Tugu Lombok (sister to Tugu Bali) for a yoga meditation session or spa
treatment in the gorgeous spa.
