Villa Avalon is a glorious garden estate in the heart of Batu Belig beach Seminyak Bali, the new party hub of Bali between hipster Canggu and chic Seminyak, on the island’s south-west coast.
Designed by internationally famed architect Popo Danes and served by a team of staff, the half-acre estate comprises the iconic four-bedroom Villa Avalon, two-bedroom Avalon II, and the one-bedroom Avalon III – each with their own pool and private gardens. All three villas can be rented separately or together in multiple configurations, making Avalon suitable for everyone from a romantic couple to a few families holidaying together or a group of up to 21 friends.
Avalon I
Four-bedroomed Villa Avalon I is the largest of three independent properties on the grand Avalon Estate, designed by award-winning Bali architect, Popo Danes. When rented as a whole, the Villa Avalon Estate offers seven spacious bedrooms and makes a paradisical wedding venue.
It’s rare to find such a well-established villa that is just a few minutes’ drive from downtown Seminyak. It is a great option for groups looking to be in the thick of action, with the beach on one side and numerous clubs, restaurants and boutiques on the other.
From a traditional gateway, steps lead up to Villa Avalon I’s open-sided living room, which is housed in one of three interconnected pavilions that fan out around the 14-metre swimming pool. This upper level living room is an elegant ceiling fan-cooled space comprising of a large seating area and a games corner, complete with pool table. Downstairs is a dining room, where up to 14 guests can enjoy meals at the three-metre table. A media room offers air-conditioned comfort for movie watching, catching up on emails or simply having a quiet read. Outside, the antique poolside joglo creates a living space in harmony with surrounding nature, and an alfresco dining table under a cool canopy provides an informal area for convivial meals.
All four of Villa Avalon I’s air-conditioned ensuite bedrooms provide sumptuous sleeping spaces, and each has a sitting area with a TV. The two palatial master suites are furnished with four-poster king-size beds resting on polished teakwood floors. The glamour continues into the air-conditioned bathrooms, which feature statement bathtubs as well as rain showers and huge walk-in wardrobes. Both master suites open onto shaded furnished terraces.
A pair of air-conditioned guest suites occupy the second sleeping pavilion, both furnished with queen-size beds. The ground floor suite opens onto the garden while the upper room features a spacious garden-view terrace. Both ensuite bathrooms are fitted with rain showers and walk-in wardrobes, and there’s a second shower and a bathtub in a small courtyard attached to the ground floor room.
Efficient and friendly staff (including a competent chef) work discreetly in the background to provide stellar service from morning until night.
