estate is cocooned in the 3208 Estate, giving it a serene and magical atmosphere while being
surrounded by world-class restaurants and local attractions. Villa 3208 is ambience personified with
personalized private service, facilities such as tennis court, large pool, air-conditioned gym, its own
museum housing an outstanding art collection and unlimited direct access to the golden sand and azure
waters that form a natural border to the estate.
The compound captures the spirit of local design, with wonderful indoor-outdoor relationships,
orienting its various structures to catch views and breezes, and using traditional materials such as alang-
alang thatching, bamboo, brick and paras stone. Immersed in a rich history and set on spacious
grounds surrounded by outstanding Balinese paintings, stone carvings and wall murals, Villa 3208 is a
historic inspiration. The estate was the realization of a dream by Donald Friend, considered one of
Australia's most important artists.
Friend resided in Sanur for much of the 1960s and 1970s. Villa 3208 is a testimony to Friend's strong
interest in traditional Balinese architecture and its reinterpretation. Sri Lankan Geoffrey Bawa, an
internationally recognized prolific and influential architect helped bring Friend's vision to life. The
overall concept was inspired by the nineteenth century palaces at Klungkung and Amlapura. In 1975,
Bawa designed various additions to the house, including a large museum building to house Friend's
collection of Balinese artworks and artifacts as well as Friend's own paintings. Made of Majapahit red
brick and rectangular in shape, the museum is set formally in the center of the compound with a moat
around it and a long pool in the front.
Following Friend's departure from Bali, Adrian Zecha, the founder of the Aman resorts became the
estate's owner. Subsequently, Zecha's in house designer, Ed Tuttle (designer of many award winning
hotels) was called in to refurbish the estate. Tuttle's renovation gave the estate a new organized look
emphasizing clean lines and space. The next owner, international entrepreneur Graeme Robertson
faithfully restored the estate to capture lifestyle opulence with the addition of a tennis court, gym and
an impressive collection of art for the museum. Now for the first time Villa 3208 has opened its magic
for special experiences, Value Link Investments presents the opportunity for corporates looking for
unique Board Meeting experiences or families, special experiences.
The estate is spread over 1 hectare of landscaped gardens and ponds and made up of a number of
separate buildings following the design of Balinese compounds with the kitchen in the south, the
temple in the north-east, and the main house in the west. With wonderful indoor-outdoor

7. Villa 3208 Fact Sheet
luxury Estate, arguably Bali's most exclusive district, in the center of Sanur. Traditionally a fishing
village, Sanur is one of the few remaining Brahman kuasa villages in Bali controlled by members of the
priestly caste. Among its many charms, Sanur boasts some of the most beautiful processions on the
island, Bali's only female keris dance and the island's oldest stone inscription.
Sanur is steeped in history, with some of the earliest recorded writings in Bali emblazoned on a pillar
known as the Prasanti Blanjong. The pillar dates back to AD 913 and is now kept in a temple in
Blanjong village, located in the south of Sanur. The inscriptions detail the arrival of a Javanese King
who came to Bali to teach Mahayana Buddhism.
Quiet and relatively laid back, Sanur still has the feeling of old Bali. Ancient temples can be found
interspersed along the Sanur coast. Characterized by coral walled enclosures providing shelter to
platform altars, this style of temple is unique to the Sanur coast.
Sanur makes a good base for exploring the island as it is served by a main dual-carriage road that passes
inland and not along the beach itself. Travel to Ubud takes 30 minutes, Seminyak, 25 minutes, the
airport, 20 minutes and Bali's capital, Denpasar, 15 minutes.
An excellent center for families, nearby, but detached from the popular tourist areas of Bali. Ready
access to the Jimbaran restaurant area and on the main road to Ubud, Sanur represents the entrance to
the mountain kingdoms and conversely, the coastal playgrounds. Good restaurants and massage and
spa facilities are readily available in the quiet romantic environment of Sanur.
