Surrounded by unspoilt islands it is one of only a handful of private islands along this beautiful coast. Cempedak is ringed with white sandy beaches and studded with magnificent white granite boulders. Rising to a height of 40m, the island boasts a rainforest that provides sanctuary to a diverse population of local birds including hornbills, eagles and kingfishers. Other residents on the island include the critically endangered pangolin and a family of otters.
The architecture is dramatic and unique. Bamboo has been used throughout and in ways not seen before. Crescent-shaped curved roofs made from local grass provide a natural symmetry to the environment and at the same time protection from the elements. With private plunge pools in each villa, huge decks, the guest accommodation is very private and very spacious. This is “simple barefoot luxury” in a sublime natural setting.
The beach villas are just metres away from the beach itself whereas the seaview villas all have magnificent views of the sea and surrounding deserted islands. They all have the same master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom upstairs. Downstairs is a lounge area with a guest bathroom, a bar, large deck, sun loungers and a private plunge pool.
Privacy is guaranteed with all of the villas generously spaced out over the southern half of the island. The remainder of the island is primary rainforest and being the more environmentally sensitive portion of the island has been preserved as a sanctuary.
