Entering the Novus Bali Villas Resort & Spa at the reception you will see word of “Sawaagat” (which means welcome in Sanskrit) carefully reconstruction of a Joglo. Joglo is the Central Javanese architectural 'trademark', which, after 1900, gradually got confined to public spaces and dwellings of those who enjoyed special strata and privilege in the society. This particular Joglo is 250 years old and has been transplanted from its original location in central Java and reassembled at the resort to give you a blend of Indonesian culture across islands. This Joglo is made out of Teak wood or Kayu Jati as locally known and is characterized by a unique pagoda type cascading design on the ceiling locally known as Tumpangsari and intrinsic carvings depicting traditional Javanese art on all the wooden pillars.
