Villa Kinaree Seminyak

As you enter Villa Kinaree Estate through the large timber doors, you are immediately greeted by a stone pathway and tropical plants that lead you through the open-air living area to the large garden between the main living pavilion and the two-storey accommodation pavilion. The pool is flanked by mature frangipanis gracefully rustling in the breeze. At one end of the pool, sun lounges are ready with comfy cushions and soft towels. The pool plays a role in the social hub, where guests can easily converse with each other from the living area as they take a refreshing dip or work on their tan on the pool deck.

The main living area is open-air and features a great kitchen with a long breakfast bar so guests can sit on the stools, enjoy a drink and talk with friends sprawled out on the huge sofa or maybe those on the sun deck. A billiards table for a spot of sporting competition and a separate air-conditioned room houses the formal dining room and feature a large timber table for 8 guests and, adjacent, another comfy sofa and a large flat-screen TV. The living spaces offer fantastic functionality and provide alfresco and air-conditioned comforts.

The master suite is upstairs in the accommodation pavilion, featuring a king-size bed,  double rain showers and a private balcony overlooking the garden. One guest suite is opposite the master, and two more are on the lower floor, opening onto the pool and gardens. All rooms feature king-size beds, plenty of storage space and private en-suites with monsoon showers and complimentary bathroom amenities. All rooms boast modern amenities, including flat-screen TVs with surround-sound speakers.

The staff at Villa Kinaree will greet guests with traditional Balinese warmth, making sure you are well looked after throughout your stay. Guests will look forward to breakfasts prepared by the staff; however, a chef can be requested at any time for an extra charge to prepare lunches and dinners of any flare. The villa will be cleaned daily by the housekeeping staff, and nighttime security staff will make sure you sleep at ease. Airport transfers, day trips, scooter hire, babysitters, massage and spa treatments can all be arranged for you by the staff.
