Villa Suami
Where: Canggu
Why: 4, or 5-bedrooms with contemporary open-plan living spaces.
What: Originally designed by a world-renowned architect as his private home, Villa Suami is simply one of the most stunning villas on the island.

The Longhouse
Where: Jimbaran
Why: 6-bedrooms and stunning surroundings
What: Set on the Jimbaran’s hillside, The Longhouse is all about authenticity, luxury and comfort. Outside, panoramic vistas offer breathtaking views while the interior is uniquely decorated, fusing traditional and modern materials with state of the art technology. Your call to tell the kids (or not) that there’s WiFi.

Villa Bayu
Where: Uluwatu

What: The group that travels together, hangs out at open-plan living spaces together. You’ll have plenty of privacy as a group, but at this villa, it’s all too easy to push each other into the pool, enjoy a drink at the bar on the deck, and take in sunset views whilst lazing around on sun beds.

Why: 3-6 bedrooms with a clean, modern Javanese feel
What: This picture-perfect residence was designed to be just that; an ode to the 19th-century plantation house “Huis Tjitrap” in Java known for its beauty and social gatherings. Think of it as… the Gatsby mansion! And what better location than Seminyak where all the best parties are?
Bonus: Bring home the skills for whipping up Balinese cuisine, with cooking classes available at an extra charge.
Villa Nag Shampa
Where: Ubud
Why: 5 to 8 bedrooms with that classic Ubud ambience
