The ultimate unusual sky-high retreat in Bali replaces pilots with hot tub
A converted Boeing 737 is now a private villa
The aircraft used to operate in Indonesia.
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, a Boeing 737 that previously operated in 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 1,076 square feet, features a kitchen-living room, two bedrooms, one with a jacuzzi in the cockpit that's surrounded by panoramic windows and two bathrooms.

In the villa’s design, the 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 midair. 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.

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 belowdecks
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.
