Kayu Aya R3167

Hidden among charming tropical gardens within Laksmana Estate, This villa is a haven of tranquillity, just a stone’s throw from the beach and all the action of cosmopolitan Seminyak.  Colonial Javanese architecture and evocative antiques give a glimpse into Indonesia’s rich heritage, yet this three-bedroomed, fully staffed villa has all the modern luxury and convenience you would expect of a Bali luxury villa.  Kids will love the lagoon-style pool and large gardens; adults will revel in spacious bedroom suites, and small groups or couples will be thrilled at the villa’s sensational location just a minute from Seminyak’s vibrant ‘eat street.’

Amidst the glitzy boutiques, buzzing beach bars and chic restaurants of Seminyak’s golden triangle, This villa is a veritable oasis of lush tropical greenery.  In these days of sleek modern minimalism, this lovely villa harks back to more traditional times, offering a true celebration of Indonesia’s rich culture and heritage.

The two-storey Javanese colonial-style sleeping pavilion is constructed of vintage teak, and wrapped in long shady verandas furnished with lazy chairs.  The owners have several art galleries in Bali, and the villa’s hand-picked antiques include stone statues of Hindu deities, wardrobes of teakwood, sumptuous silks, Oriental artwork and hand-crafted ceramics.  The living pavilion is itself an antique – a restored 100-year-old joglo (traditional wooden building) from Java that was once part of a nobleman’s house.  The swimming pool that surrounds it is fringed in tropical flowers and cascading vines, while the sprawling lawn beyond is bordered by ornamental trees, bamboos and palms.

Fully staffed, and with three spacious bedrooms, The villa is well set up for families.  Kids will have a blast splashing around in the lagoon-style pool and playing in the gardens, and a private chef is on hand to prepare special kids meals, as well as gourmet feasts for adults.  Our helpful manager and villa attendants will make you feel right at home and treat you to the hospitality that Bali is famous for.

With such a peaceful setting it may seem hard to believe that the villa is right in the middle of Seminyak, but you need only stroll to the end of the shady lane to discover miles of golden beaches and all the fascinating boutiques and world-class wining and dining establishments of Seminyak.
