Villa Semarapura Indonesia

Overlooking an enchanting sea temple on top of a dramatic volcanic outcrop, this villa has superb ocean views and mesmerising sunsets. The villa is spread over vast gardens and features Balinese open plan pavilion living. A full team of staff are on hand to make your holiday a memorable one. Events for up to 80 guests can be held at this property.
Five bedrooms sleep 10 guests, with a luxuriant master suite with canopied king beds, a dedicated breakfast and sitting area, beautiful wood detailing throughout and striking black lanterns. The master bedroom features a private terrace complete with a bubbling jacuzzi among a lotus pond – sip a cocktail as you gaze out at the rolling countryside.
Guest bedrooms are in either a garden suite or two storey ocean view pavilion. With the exception of one room, all beds are king size, with the remaining room a convertible twin to the king bed. Charming decor with colourful cushions and art brighten up space – there’s even a wooden trunk style coffee table. All rooms have ensuites with a walk-in monsoon shower, a dedicated lobby and breakfast area. The ocean pavilion room has private access, connected by an internal staircase.
Outside, the bright blue pool curves around the villa through the landscaped lawn, punctuated with exotic trees. The decking with a row of sunbeds provides a fantastic place to sunbathe or chill out with a good book after a refreshing swim. By the pool, there’s a games room complete with a pool table and a TV and an alfresco bar to keep your drinks topped up.
For those who love to keep active on holiday, there’s a volleyball court and access to a shared tennis court. A pair of bicycles are available to borrow from the villa and there’s plenty of space to run or practise yoga. If that all sounds a bit much, retire to the spa pavilion where you can summon a masseuse to try out a range of spa therapies. Villa Pertiwi is situated in picturesque Seseh Tanah Lot. Its invigorating gardens stretch all the way the ocean, dotted with palm trees. Close your eyes and breathe in the salty sea air. Far from the hustle and bustle of the busier areas of the island but still a short drive from amenities, you really have the best of both worlds with this villa.
To the south, discover stunning beaches including Echo, Canggu and Pererenan. A beach day is always a winner in Bali, especially if it involves surfing! Bali’s beaches draw surfers from around the world due to the warm seas, year-round surf and excellent reef breaks. Learn to surf in three days on a specially designed masterclass – you’ll be ready to hang ten on Bali’s world-class breaks in no time! Echo beach is popular with locals and tourists alike for a sundowner, and Canggu beach has a pronounced swell and unusual right-hand wave.
Pura Tanah Lot is also a popular spot for sunset as it’s such a picturesque place to watch the ocean turn to glittering gold. To truly observe the power of the sea temple, visit early in the morning where you can witness a local offering ceremony. If you’re lucky, your holiday might coincide with a festival, where Balinese Hindus visit the temples in a procession wearing a ceremonial dress.
A great way to experience the impossibly green landscape is by bicycle. Borrow bicycles from the villa – Seseh and Pererenan are charming places to explore on two wheels. In Canggu, take a trip down the Shortcut, a beautiful path through rice plantations. Just be careful when you move to the side to let others pass, or you might end up in the locals’ book of falls!
Canggu, with its enclave of spas and boutiques, cosy cafes and hip bars is also a short drive from the villa. Indulge in a soothing, traditional Balinese massage at a fancy spa, and on Sundays, head to La Laguna gipsy market for organic and eco-friendly products and traditional handicrafts, to the soundtrack of live music. A special place to practise yoga nearby is Desa Seni, an eco-friendly resort that celebrates Indonesian culture and art. Locally, pick up some hand decorated pottery at Tanteri Ceramics, a family business with a gallery and a small shop.
The Jutilwah rice terraces at the foot of Mount Batakuru will thrill and interest any visitor. Enjoy the sweeping vistas of lush greenery as you stroll through the fields that were a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site candidate. Sitting at 850m above sea level, the panoramic views are to die for. Expansive tea plantations dot the landscape – why not take a tour, learn about how it’s produced and of course sample a range of delicious teas. Jutilwah means extraordinary in Indonesian, and it certainly lives up to its name.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
