Description

Villa Bali-Bali is a delightful enclave of three charming holiday rental villas, located in the rural Umalas area, just 15 minutes from Seminyak in southwest Bali. The enclave, which rests on 4000 m2 of land, comprises a three-bedroom villa with a swimming pool, a two-bedroom villa with a swimming pool, and a two-and-a-half-bedroom cottage with a 12 m2 whirlpool. Each is completely self-contained and secure, with an open plan living and dining area, private facilities and a private entrance. The Bali-Bali villas offer a choice of renting options; they can be rented jointly as two villas, or jointly as a complex, accommodating up to 15 guests. The close proximity of the three properties means that the enclave is ideal for groups of friends, or families, who want to be close to each other while still retaining an element of independence and privacy.

Designed by renowned GM Architects and published in detail in “Bali Living”, Villa Bali Bali is instrumental in the modern Balinese architecture of today, of which these luxury Bali rental villas are integrated into the natural contours of the sloping land site, with signature low roofs, and organic shapes. The style blends the contemporary Balinese architecture with traditional design and tropical open-air living. Furthermore, the rolling gardens are beautiful, bordered by rice fields with magical views of the mountains on clear days.

Villa Bali-Bali One is an enchanting three-bedroom villa with split-level living and dining areas, a gorgeous garden and a half moon swimming pool. The design is funky and romantic with a resourceful use of space, complemented by primitive tribal art. Dramatic sloping roofs create unusually-shaped rooms throughout the villa and enhance the innovative style of the architectural lay out.

Villa Bali-Bali Two is entered via stepping stones over a lily pond beside a water cascade. This two-bedroom villa blends modern architecture with traditional elements and is undoubtedly romantic, capped with a funky angular roof crafted in ironwood shingle. The building features a lot of local stone and teak wood, and is adorned with antique primitive statues from the Eastern Indonesian islands.

Bali-Bali Cottage is petite, yet still houses two-and-a-half air-conditioned bedrooms. It can only be rented in conjunction with one or both of the other villas within the Bali-Bali Complex. This quaint little villa consists of two buildings interlinked by a covered passageway.
