It’s rare to find a disabled-friendly villa in Bali but here’s a brand new one that ticks all of the barrier free boxes. Located inland from Canggu, with five bedrooms, open-plan living, a large swimming pool and a glorious vista across the rice fields, the single-storey Villa Sunset View is a joy for both handicapped and able-bodied guests alike. Beneath its wrapping of contemporary chic, guests will find that everything from the wide doorways and push-to-open cupboards and drawers, to the swimming pool ramp and the low-level light switches, power points and kitchen countertops, has been conceived for ease of access. At Villa Sunset View you design your own holiday. A team of staff are on hand to cook breakfast and fulfill all of the domestic duties but if you need a fulltime chef and a gourmet menu, no problem! A driver with a wheelchair accessible vehicle? Consider it done! A daytrip to Kintamani? Their pleasure! A star attraction of the villa is the sundrenched terrace, which faces west over the beautiful rice fields with – yes, even in Hindu Bali – a fairytale church in the centre of the picture.

Jimbaran Bay just south of Bali airport has to be one of the most amazing stretches of sand on the whole island, and yet it is still an undiscovered secret for those who come to enjoy its beautiful white sands and calm ‘child-friendly’ waters. This is just one of the magical things that makes Villa Cara such a wonderful place to take full advantage of it, for when you aren’t down on the sand you can still enjoy the views of the Bay from the balcony. This sumptuous, multi-level property offers holidaying excellence with five en-suite bedrooms and huge amounts of comfortably furnished and well-appointed indoor and outdoor living spaces, including a massive lounge area with a modern kitchen and dining area making a great social hub, as well as a 15-metre swimming pool with timber pool deck, a ‘bale’ relaxation pavilion. Characterised by dark wood, white walls and cream marble, the modern villa features an abundance of floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows to maximise the glorious views, and it comes fully-staffed with a friendly yet professional team and it’s just ten minutes’ walk from the beach.

One of the most beautiful and dramatic places in all of Bali is high atop the cliffs on the southern coast of the Bukit Peninsula, that long ridge of towering limestone that rise 100 metres up above the crashing waves below. Here, located in the confines of a five-star resort and enjoying full access to all the amenities that such a privilege brings, is the very private Villa Cantik. Meaning ‘beautiful’ in the Indonesian language, its architecture, design and setting couldn’t be better named, with three large en-suite bedrooms, a massive indoor living space, and a private pool and sun deck outside. The resort offers to take the enjoyment up a notch with a dedicated and award-winning spa, a kids’ club, and a fantastic Italian restaurant and bar sitting next to a huge freeform pool on the cliff edge. And that’s not all, because a mechanical funicular is there to scoot you up and down the side of the cliff to a picture perfect white-sand beach below and a stunningly rustic private beach club where days are measures in lost hours lying in the sun. Here is a place to totally lose count of everything.

Romance is alive and well on the south Seminyak border in the form of nine extremely intimate and sexy, one-bedroom, garden villas in the Legian Kriyamaha Villas, a short stroll from Jalan Padma and a few minutes more to the warm tropical waters of Kuta Beach – the white sand essence of Bali. The villas are as quiet as the day is long and are an ideal respite to return to after a day of sightseeing or shopping, and the villa kindly runs a shuttle bus four times a day so you can explore the full length of the South Bali action: from the traditional tourist activity of Kuta Square to the new school boutique and beach club culture of Petitenget’s fashionable haunts and five-star restaurants. And when you’ve had enough of other people it’s back to the villa, where there’s no room for friends, no space for families, just enough for you and your significant other to kick back and enjoy the super soft king-sized bed, the large and relaxing living room, your private plunge pool and jacuzzi, gentle-sounding water features, high walls, room service and a nice big lock on the gate to keep it sacred.
