Repurposed Boeing 737 transforms into a private jet villa soaring in luxury

1.3K

If you are looking for a getaway that elevates your vacation to new heights, The Private Jet Villa in Bali turns that fantasy into reality. Perched like a crown jewel atop the Nyang Nyang Beach Cliff, this Indonesian villa epitomizes luxury and innovation.

The aircraft, which previously operated across Indonesia, was transported to the location via truck and crane following its decommissioning. Subsequently, it underwent an expert renovation right at the site.

 

A fusion of flight and comfort

The Geometrium Studio team achieved a world-first with the Private Jet Villa. It’s not just a place to stay; it’s an experience. Imagine waking up in a converted Boeing 737, approximately 492 feet above the sea, with the Indian Ocean as your backdrop.

 

Inside the fuselage

Guests access the interior of the villa via a floating staircase. The villa, encompassing an area of approximately 1076 square feet, features a kitchen-living room, two bedrooms, one with a jacuzzi in the cockpit surrounded by panoramic windows, and two bathrooms.

In the villa’s design, strategic placement of mirrors creates an illusion of a more expansive space. The incorporation of relief glass inserts in several rooms not only enhances the natural light coming in, but also fosters a seamless visual flow between the areas.

Custom crafting for curved spaces

Because the aircraft’s body is all curves and no flat spots, the designers couldn’t just use off-the-shelf furniture and finishes. Everything had to be custom-made.

The extras outside the villa

But it’s the extras outside the villa that make it that much more special including a bonfire area.

Guests arrive either by road or air using a helicopter landing pad that is only steps away from the villa.

But the big bonus is a unique terrace situated on the aircraft’s wing and a cantilever swimming pool with a hot tub floating in mid-air. It was designed with a special support system that spreads out the weight of the water evenly. Additionally, the pool features a glass section along its edge, allowing swimmers to submerge themselves and gaze out at the ocean from beneath the water’s surface.

Picture-perfect moments

Every corner of the Private Jet Villa is a photo opportunity. From the bathroom with ocean views to the terrace that feels like you’re soaring, it’s a social media dream come true. The villa is designed to stir emotions and create memories. It’s a playground for the senses, with interactive zones that make you feel like you’re flying without ever leaving the ground.

 

Balancing beauty and function

Despite the challenges of converting a plane into a living space, the design team has crafted a villa that feels open and inviting. They’ve used light tones, natural textures, and clever engineering to make the most of the unique space.

 

Privacy with a pattern

The design team also added a touch of privacy without building a fortress, designing a nifty fencing system. It’s got a checkerboard vibe that hides the aircraft from nosy passersby but still keeps things airy. And for a little extra separation from the neighbors, they put up a concrete wall and planted what’s going to be a lush, green living hedge.

 

Engineering ingenuity below deck

Down below, in what used to be the cargo hold, is where the air conditioning, electrical infrastructure, and pipe distribution to the bathrooms are all housed.

 

How to experience the Private Jet Villa

For those interested in experiencing the Private Jet Villa firsthand, it is listed on Airbnb for vacation rentals. The rental cost fluctuates based on the season and duration of the stay. Preliminary quotes range from approximately $2,000 to upwards of $5,000 per night, positioning it as a premium accommodation choice.

 

Kurt’s key takeaways

The Private Jet Villa is more than just a place to stay. It’s a sanctuary that offers a taste of the high life, quite literally. However, it’s also a true testament to human creativity and the pursuit of creating extraordinary spaces.
