Bali Magic
Enjoy all the benefits of being in a resort (Seminyak), but with the privacy of your own living, dining and cooking space. Staff will bring you a sumptuous breakfast each morning, which can be taken poolside on the patio, under the teak pergola or in the dining area of your home from home. A stone’s throw from Batu Belig Beach and a short walk from the bayside restaurants and bars, the property has plenty to entice you further afield. Inside your villa are teak-beamed apex ceilings, open-plan living spaces, two bedrooms for up to four guests and a huge oversized tub for spa-like soaks.
A Treasure of Indonesia
A complement of staff will cater to your every whim while staying in this contemporary-meets-traditional Balinese villa. Spend evenings snuggled watching movies, in the loft media room by the sun balcony. Soak up the sun from a full-sized bean bag beside the sparkling emerald green pool. Feast on authentic cuisine prepared by your own chef. And explore the island courtesy of a personal chauffeur. A Treasure of Indonesia can accommodate six guests across three bedrooms and has three bathrooms, plus a fourth toilet.
The Legian Bali
Couples and small families can hire these One-Bedroom Pool Villas at the Club. Each is thatched and low rise, with a pool and dining balé surrounded by lush planting. Butler service comes as standard, but you can also avail yourself of amenities within the resort and spend a few hours lounging on nearby Seminyak Beach. Minimal catering facilities are provided (a microwave, coffee machine and pantry), but you can request a BBQ, or let others do the cooking for you. Each villa has an iPod dock, a Bose sound-system and a canopied four-poster bed with soft drapes.
Ametis Grand Three-Bedroom Villa
Enveloped by tropical flora and fauna, Ametis is located close to Canggu Beach. The decor takes its cues from the surroundings, incorporating natural elements, stone and timber. While the architecture is formed of dark wood vaulted ceilings and open plan spaces, where the outdoors flows in. There are three bedrooms, one with a balcony, each with its own pampering bathroom and custom furnishings. Follow a staircase down from the living area and you’ll descend directly into the private pool. Ametis caters for guests aged 12 and over and has on-call butler service.
