MANILA, Philippines – In the 15th century, blue-blooded refugees from the besieged Majapahit Empire took refuge in Bali, Indonesia, bringing with them the court’s artists, priests, musicians, and intellectuals. This exodus left an indelible mark on Bali’s character. Today, Bali remains a prime destination for tourists seeking affordable rates, a rich local culture, beautiful beaches, raucous nightlife, delicious food, and free-flowing Bintang Beer -- all ingredients for a real fun time.
Bali’s oneness with nature and its traditions, plus its energetic tourist scene, make the island one of Asia’s most interesting places to visit. And within the Residential Cluster of South Forbes Golf City, the country’s largest fully-integrated and all-themed golf resort city at the forefront of the Metro Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay corridor, recipient of the Best Golf Community Development by the 2007 CNBC International Property Awards, the world’s most prestigious property awards program, and, recently, the Highly Commended Award for Best Development by the 2010 Bloomberg Asia-Pacific Residential Awards, Nirwana Bali becomes the ultimate relaxing tropical community where the private and tranquil atmosphere will encourage everyone to shed off worries, allowing for a better quality of life.
Fun hub. Residents will not want anything more than to eagerly return home from a hard day at work. They enter from the Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay Road through the wide entrance drive into the development, called Orchard Drive, the median landscaped with stately Royal Palms while the outer edges are lined with evergreen trees, adding to the already idyllic setting of the site. Beside it are the cascading lagoons, water jets, and rock formations surrounded with lush tropical landscape that offer respite from the typical residential and developments south of Manila. The main rotunda features a modern Asian paving pattern around a central garden.
Along the main avenue will be the Village Center, catering to every resident’s need, from restaurants to retail stores, and the business center with a cluster of built-to-specification BPOs -- all merely a few meters walk from home.
Laidback lodges. Imagine a class of accommodation in Nirwana Bali that fulfils your desire for peace and solitude. Your very own stylishly appointed Balinese villa will allow you the freedom to relax in complete privacy. Equipped with spacious living facilities and modern home conveniences, three new model homes -- Legian, Sanur, and Jimbaran -- will provide a holiday-like experience that surpasses any star-rated hotel or resort.
These homes ingeniously merge the modern and traditional styles to produce a home that is pleasant and airy. The warm wood tones and Balinese decorative elements contrast beautifully with the clean, spare walls and sharp lines of the whole house. The open, uncluttered layout allows for smooth interaction between those preparing meals in the kitchen, those seated in the dining area and those lounging in the living area. Full-length sliding doors invite the outside landscaping in -- part of the Balinese tropical living experience.
