The interior and exterior décor is an exotic mix of Indonesian and French style. Neutral shades of white and cream are accented with pops of color in every room. Soft grey tiles run throughout. The exterior terraces and covered verandas on the upper and lower level provide multiple spaces for relaxing and dining. The new terrace furniture is modern blending beautifully with the sea and large blue pool set in the center of the upper terrace. For fun, a ping pong table sits under a veranda. Throughout the villa, arches and iron work add design interest.

New contemporary furniture in the living room include the colors of the sea  sky and complement the rest of the interiors. The soaring ceilings are popped with blue trim, a design theme repeated throughout the villa.
