Villa Selonding Batu: A Fusion of History and Luxury
Villa Selonding Batu is more than just a luxurious retreat—it is a historical site that preserves the legacy of an ancient civilization. The construction of this villa began in 2011, and during the cut and fill process in 2012, archaeological discoveries revealed the rich history of the area.
Several Neolithic artifacts, including stone pratima statues and an ancient gamelan instrument known as Selonding Batu, were gradually uncovered during the development of the parking area, swimming pool, kitchen, and the main villas, now known as Lion and Dragon. These discoveries were reported to the authorities of Selat Pandan Banten Traditional Village multiple times, yet no decisive response was given. Eventually, upon the initiative of local residents, these artifacts were preserved by establishing a dedicated temple named Pura Penataran Selonding Batu.
Over time, the temple became a spiritual center for the surrounding community, where people come to seek blessings, guidance, and wisdom in facing life’s challenges.
To honor this cultural heritage, the completed villa was named Villa Selonding Batu. More than just a place to stay, it offers an exclusive experience infused with deep historical and cultural significance. Our commitment to environmental preservation and local community empowerment is at the heart of our values, with approximately 95% of our workforce coming from the surrounding area.
