Earlier this week we found ourselves invited to a private dance performance and dinner at the new Villa Des Indes II in Seminyak, Bali. As we've often been heard to say that the original Villa Des Indes is one of our favorite luxury villa properties in Bali, we jumped at the chance to check out their newest development.

Villa Des Indes has recently opened their ancient doors to a second traditional style residence, available for luxury rental, in the Seminyak area of Bali. This new villa features a unique antique Javanese Joglo living area.

Following the success of the original three bedrooms, Villa Des Indes I, the owners have recently completed another 2 bedroom gem across the small private lane, Jalan Astinapura (Throne of the Gods).

With the launch of Alila Villas Uluwatu, the Alila Group has taken a bold step into a new marketplace - 5 star villa resorts. The resort itself is currently in soft opening, with only 45 of the eventual 61 villas completed. We were fortunate enough to get a tour this week.

Bali may not be physically large (at least not by Australian or American standards) but there are a number of clear destinations on the island. The villa accommodations on the island are largely confined to a subset of those destinations. In this article, we look at the most popular destinations offering villa accommodations.

We're just back from a weekend in Ubud. We decided for this trip to check out one of the Waka Group's properties. Waka has two properties in Ubud, Waka di Ume, which is a more traditional hotel accommodation, and Waka Namya, which is a villa resort. We chose the villa resort (imagine that!).

If you've never stayed in a villa in Bali, you might find it all a bit daunting the first time around.

Don't be discouraged, a little basic information is all you need to book with confidence. This article provides a list of insider tips for renting villas in Bali.

Yesterday we were treated to a tour of the new villa Taman Ahimsa in Seseh. With seven bedrooms located right on the beach, this is certain to become one of the most popular luxury villas in the area.

Nestled in the heart of Bali’s stylish neighborhood Seminyak, is a century old antique Javanese ‘Joglo’ within a luxury hideaway. Villa Des Indes combines nostalgic luxury with the exemplary services of personal butlers and a top class chef.

A mere stone’s throw away from a white sand beach, Villa Des Indes Private Residence can be rented out as a 2, 3 or 5 bedroom residence. A small gangway and private entrances separate two colonial villas.

A long, winding and picturesque road running through completely unspoiled rice paddies leads to the tiny coastal village of Seseh where our property is located. In this quaint and small village, one can still find the very essence of Bali as the pace slows down and the environment is well preserved and authentic.

The Lakshmi Villas is a complex of four luxury villas set within the Laksmana Villas development in Seminyak, Bali. The villas take their name from Lakshmi, the Hindu Goddess of light, beauty, good fortune and wealth – a perfect environment for your next luxurious holiday.
