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.
Villa Avalon II
Two-bedroom Villa Avalon II is one of a trio of luxury properties on the Villa Avalon Estate, designed by award-winning Bali architect, Popo Danes. Each private pool villa can be rented individually. The villa is looked after by efficient and friendly staff members (including a competent chef), who work discreetly in the background to provide stellar service from morning until night.
When rented as a whole, the Villa Avalon Estate offers seven spacious bedrooms and makes a paradisiacal wedding venue. The villa’s central location with proximity to clubs, restaurants and shops makes it popular amongst groups of friends.
Villa Avalon II’s traditional Balinese entrance opens onto a delightfully private walled garden, where a living and dining pavilion (with kitchenette) forms the heart of a historic Javanese teakwood joglo, looking out onto a sun terrace and a 7-metre pool. Comfortable chairs invite lazy afternoon siestas and the dining table seats six.
To one side of the living and dining pavilion are the villa’s two bedrooms. The high vaulted ceiling of the sleeping pavilion gives both rooms – one furnished with a king-size bed, the other a queen – a theatrical sense of space, heightened by handsome furnishings and arresting Balinese paintings. Granite basins and walk-in rain showers add glamour to the ensuite bathrooms and there’s generous wardrobe space in the dressing areas. Both bedrooms open onto a shared veranda.
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.
