And sealing the deal is the newly opened, multi-award-winning villa project – Selong Selo – available to guests through Icon Private Residences.

A reception and concierge are teamed with 24-hour security, while gym, yoga, tennis and swimming are all readily available. From private chefs to cooking classes, everything is taken care of at the highest level, so all guests need to do is sit back and relax. The expansive, breezy Selong Selo Residences Clubhouse Aura Lounge & Bar pavilion features six-metre-high ceilings that overlook the awe-inspiring view of Selong Belanak Bay and the surrounding hills. Aura is the perfect place to relax and unwind by the 23m infinity pool, or gather nearby with friends for a freshly pressed juice. When it comes to the residences, the turnkey properties integrate bespoke design into an integrally planned and operated estate. Selong Selo now offers architecturally designed ‘all in’ villas in a range of packages and prices, with two clear options. With a Kayu Collection villa design, clients are invited to create an entirely bespoke villa that incorporates all of their design inspirations. Once the ideal style and size has been selected, the entire process is then overlooked by Icon Private Residences from start to finish. The beautifully designed Kayu villas range from studios to two-bedrooms, the latter comprising 260sq.m of internal and external living space. Set in the Jabon hills and overlooking the Selong Belanak bay, the open-plan designs provide breathtaking views and sunsets. Main features include en-suite bathrooms, modern open-plan kitchens, locally sourced materials, the option for an infinity edge pool, incredible panoramic views, architectural landscaping, and access to full housekeeping facilities.
