Lots of privacy, deluxe accommodation and amazing staff
Live like a superstar in your Bali holiday villa with the family or your friends.
Renting a villa in Bali for your accommodation is one of the best and most exciting things you can do on your holiday. Just imagine your own private villa with no one else around to disturb your peace and tranquillity. It’s such an amazing concept that Australians and other nationalities are really getting on board with. The rationale behind this is, why would you bother staying in a crowded, overpriced hotel when you can be in your own Villa with your best friends?
It’s an absolute no-brainer, and I, for one, am a convert. I am not just saying this to promote this website, but I have stayed in so many villas and each, and everyone has offered its own unique and very surprising experience. No two villas are the same, and I get to sample many different types of villas one thing I would like to share with you is what you should expect from your villa when you rent from us.
Peace, privacy and tranquillity in your villa
The first thing you can expect from your villa is to be the only person in the villa. This goes without saying, but let me clarify here: you and your group, family or partner will be the only people allowed in the Villa. No one else is allowed access unless they are staff who will be looking after you. This all adds to one point; absolute privacy with no one to disturb you. The staff are very quiet and extremely respectful of your space. In fact, they are super discreet. They tend to hang in their designated area, out of sight, which means you have the sense of being completely free of anyone around you. That is unless you want to invite friends around or have a dinner or pool party. It’s totally up to you! You can sit back, quietly read, sunbake by the pool, or have as many guests as you like. Remember, it’s your holiday, so go for it and enjoy yourself.

Fabulous customer service
The other cool little thing you can expect when you arrive in your Villa is to be totally blown away by the level of service you will get from the staff. They are on hand basically all the time to handle any inquiry or request. Do you want to go shopping and need a driver, a traditional Balinese dinner party, or an in-house massage? All of these are not a problem and can be handled by any Villa staff member. Most villas will have a manager who speaks English and will happily arrange this for you.

When you come back to your room, you can expect all your beds to be made, the bathrooms completely cleaned, fresh soaps and hand towels supplied for you, and the kitchen and living areas meticulously maintained. Ideal if you have a family with kids and heaps of mess and toys are lying around. It’s all about you when it comes to your holiday in Bali, and the Balinese staff are there to ensure the whole place is spotless.
The flight from Australia to Bali is not too bad, but if you are coming from any other destination at any time during the day or night, you want to be met at the airport and taken to your villa. You don’t ( especially after a long international flight) want to be stuffing around at the airport, dealing with local taxi drivers to take you to your villa. This is a complete nightmare, and we definitely do not want you to start your holiday off in this fashion. That’s why we will have a driver meet you at Denpasar airport to take you directly to the villa, where you can unpack, swim, and begin the process of unwinding. Plus, the villa staff will be there to greet you with those friendly Balinese smiles.
If you are going on a family holiday, you want to kids to be looked after if you decide to go shopping, have a night out, perhaps want to get a massage or some spa treatments or want a bit of private time. The staff at the villa are more than capable of looking after the children, keeping them entertained and feeding them whilst you go out and enjoy yourself. It’s a great way to free up a bit of time to have to yourself.
Another really important point that most people overlook but have come to expect is WiFi. No matter the location, all villas have speedy, well-connected WiFi, so you don’t feel too isolated. Want to post pics of your holiday on Facebook and Instagram, then go right ahead. If there are any issues with this the staff are on hand to fix it immediately.
You can also expect hot water to be working the whole time (not that you will need it) and air conditioning in each room. Most rooms will also have safes to lock up money, passports, jewellery etc. Also, if you need anything washed or dry cleaned, speak to one of the staff, who will gladly look after this for you.
Great locations around Bali
Most families or groups travelling to Bali want to be in a central location. There are the rare few that are happy to be out in the sticks, but the majority want to be in close proximity to restaurants, shops, cafes, convenience stores, supermarkets and cafes. Most of the villas we have on this site are all in the main tourist areas of Seminyak, Legian and Canggu, so everything you could possibly want is within easy walking distance. This is great news if you have kids and want to take them out for dinner at night. Plus, if they need entertainment, there are lots to do around these areas with many kids’ attractions and activities. I can honestly say that most of the villas are all well-located.
Security
If you are concerned about security, then don’t be. Most villas have security staff that work around the clock, day and night, protecting you and your family. These guys really know what they are doing and are all trained to keep unwanted guests out.
Fabulous en-suite bathrooms
Yes, that’s right. Nearly all holiday villas will have their own private en suite bathrooms jam-packed full of goodies to spoil you; shampoos, conditioners, moisturisers, fresh towels, bottled water and, for the girls, hair dryers. Plus, they are cleaned daily and restocked with fresh linen and towels.
Villa Manager
There will be a dedicated villa manager for each villa who will always be on hand in case you need anything. He’s either at the villa or a quick phone call away ( the villa will provide the phone ). Your manager is more than capable of helping you organise tours, dinner reservations, in-house massages, and basically, anything your need; your villa manager is your ‘go-to ‘ person. Plus, they all speak reasonably good English.
Breakfast included
Many villas will have breakfast included which is a great way to start the day. You must speak to your reservation manager about this, as some villas will not have this as part of their package. Most breakfasts are either Western or Indonesian, so you have the option. You can also go the healthy way with fruits and yoghurt.
Villa Inspection Process
Many of the holiday villas in Bali we manage are thoroughly inspected before advertising them for rent on this website. You can view our villa inspection process here.
