Outside places
Terrace: A sunny terrace, furnished with comfortable rattan-look furniture lies between the living room and the dining room upstairs in the main pavilion. Guests can relax here on rattan-look, cushioned chairs. The terrace is bordered at the front by a shallow reflective pool with an infinity edge that appears to overflow into the jungle. In actual fact, the gin-clear water flows over the edge into a water cascade that, in turn, flows into the swimming pool several metres below.
Swimming pool and pool lounge/bar: The pool area is accessed by steps leading down from the living and dining level. The 18 x 8-metre swimming pool is distinguished by two infinity edges and two ironwood decks furnished with sunbeds and umbrellas. The water cascade from the upper terrace is a striking feature; flanked by frangipani trees it flows into a shallow children’s pool at one end of the main pool. Next to the pool deck is a white Palimanan stone pool lounge and bar with a glass and teakwood roof, ceiling fans, bar stools, a table and built-in cushioned daybeds for lounging and enjoying barbecues, tapas and drinks from the bar. There is a washroom to one side. Also beside the pool are two shady massage annexes.
Gardens and balés: The gardens of The Arsana feature nearly two hectares of terraced lawns, punctuated with beautiful trees and bordered by a jungle-lined river valley. At the highest point of the property, appropriately known as Sunset Point, is a balé relaxation pavilion offering a wonderful venue for sunset cocktails while surveying the glorious rural vista. Additionally, a riverside balé, close to the pool deck is a magical spot for a massage.
