Developer Transforms Boeing 737 Jet Into a Stunning Luxury Villa



Located atop a cliff on the Indonesian island of Bali, 500 feet above sea level, the stunning Private Jet Villa by Hanging Gardens is probably the world’s most beautifully converted jet. Converting retired airplanes isn’t new, but what developer Felix Demin managed to do with a Boeing 737 is truly unprecedented. The project has been three years in the making and involved several logistical challenges, from transporting the jet to its location to the conversion itself. The plane had to be disassembled, which required the loosening of 50,000 bolts. Then it took five days to move the plane onto its clifftop location, dodging wires in the process. The villa’s precarious location raises safety concerns, but Demin stresses that the aircraft has been through numerous safety checks and meets safety regulations, including a barrier installed on the rock sustaining it. Prices to rent the villa reportedly start at $1,600 per night, but packages go all the way up to $7,000. It's a one-of-a-kind experience if you can afford it.
