Bali continues to be one of the world's most attractive holiday destinations. The Island offers a fascinationg blend of culture and nature and is attracting visitors from all over the world. It presents pristine beaches, dramatic volcanoes, mountain lakes, rainforests, high class accomodation, fabulous holiday villas, all sorts of attractions and above all, people who are extremely welcoming and tolerant towards visitors from all over the world. The Balinese form of Hinduism and the strong community ties have withstood the impact of tourism and the people have selectively adopted what appears as valuable from the culture of the visitors without loosing their own identity as Balinese.

If you are looking for a truly Asian experience but with the western comfort, Bali will probably achieve this better than any other place. The culture is authentic and alive, with ceremonies, prayers, dances and parades happening every day. You can combine a wonderful mix of relaxation, family activity, sports and sightseeing.

Bali is as popular as ever; tribute indeed to the resilient, hospitable and kind Balinese people. It’s a large Island with much to explore, so for the first time visitor 2 weeks is barely enough.

We think that Bali can be enjoyed by everyone. We have selected the best villas all over the Island and you will certainly find something that suits your needs and budget.

Bali is a large Island, with over 5,600 sqm of land space; it needs to be as its population is around 3 million people. Its central lands are dominated by a series of volcanic peaks (some still active) with Mt. Agung, the highest and holiest, at 3142m. Most of the tourist areas are in the south of the Island, with Kuta being the busiest of the lot. Our villas, however, are located in the more sophisticated areas. For example in Seminyak; (the west coast beach area renowned for trendy restaurants), in Sanur (east coast with its safe family beach) or on the southern peninsula of Nusa Dua (full of resort facilities, including golf). We also have some charming villas in the lovely Ubud area, which is on higher ground in the cooler central part of Bali. You can even find an Amazing Luxury Villa on Bali’s quiet northern shore in Permuteran…a real getaway.

When it comes to the local culture there is so much to see and do that we cannot possibly list it all here. Our staff has selected the best quality tours and guides, who can take you to some of the lesser known old villages and off the beaten track temples. Dining out in Bali is as varied as everything else on the Island. From local village stalls (warungs) to international class restaurants, prices are good and so are standards. There is a growing community of expatriates on the Island prompting the growth of quality eateries and delis, many of them offering delivery services to our villas.

For the sporty, Bali has much to offer. There are three excellent golf courses, exciting white water rafting rivers, superb diving options, water sports of all kinds and good value days out to neighboring Islands. Some of our villas also have tennis courts. For longer holidays we recommend combining 2 to 3 different villas and locations (for example starting in Seminyak or Kerobokan for 3 days, moving up to Ubud for 3 days, then on to Pemuteran for a few more nights (great diving up there!) before returning down south again to the Sanur area to complete the holiday; the airport is just a 30 minute hop from Sanur.
