Bali Bali One

Welcome to Bali Bali on villas in umalas

Villa Bali Bali is a trio of residences set in extensive gardens fronting rice fields in Umalas, just north of Seminyak on Bali’s south-western coast. An architectural tour de force and a unique expression of contemporary Bali style, these villas are among the most recognisable on the island.

Villa Bali Bali 1’s dramatically pitched roofs ofironwood shingle, split levels, and strongly angled walls sculpt this three-bedroom residence into interesting and unusual living spaces, and create intimate corners. Strong, clean lines, a simple palette of ivory and grey, and an interplay of polished teakwood, Palimanan and lava stone create contemporary interiors that flow seamlessly into the surrounding landscape.

Softening the angular geometry of the main house, the huge lawn of silky soft Japanese grass, unfurls towards the half-moon swimming pool with sun-trap terrace and shaded balé. Stately Travellers Palms, fragrant frangipani and Parrot’s Beak heliconia bring birds and butterflies to the garden, and rice terraces can be glimpsed beyond the bougainvillea perimeter hedge. At night the villa is romantic, intimate and utterly alluring, and the only sounds in the fragrant night air are the songs of cicadas.

Bali Bali 1 and 2 can each be rented independently or with Bali Bali Cottage. There’s also the option of renting all three villas as one unit, which will suit larger groups of up to 14 who want to get together socially but also have their privacy.

Villa Bali Bali’s long-serving staff will happily shop and cook up a storm for you – you only pay the cost of provisions and petrol – so there’s nothing to do but relax and enjoy this Umalas haven. And the icing on the cake? Metis, Sarong, La Lucciola and many other famed Seminyak restaurants are just a 15-minute drive away.

Villa Bali Bali truly delivers a double dose of designer living!
