Mandalay Villas

The villa you chose is no longer available for rental from us but we have a portfolio of Elite Havens in various locations around South East Asia for you to choose from. Alternatively feel free to send us an enquiry and it'll be our pleasure to help you find the perfect villa for your next holiday.

Sleeps 28 Adults

Peace and tranquillity reign supreme at Mandalay Villas, an estate comprising two luxurious holiday homes with a total of 11 bedrooms on Bali’s south-west coast. Picturesque views of endless paddies and the glimmering ocean in the distance, this is a poetic tale that highlights the island’s lush countryside.

Built as a complex with multiple pavilions, even within each villa, the estate marries traditional architecture with modern facilities. Air-conditioned interiors, private pools, open-sided living spaces and manicured lawns make each villa a private haven. Bali’s tropical weather begs for outdoor living and the villas have been designed to maximise on this. Covered patios with comfortable lounge seating, living rooms that open up on one side thanks to sliding glass doors, poolside decks dotted with sun loungers, and a thatched balé in each villa for alfresco meals or relaxing massages, there’s a private corner to be found for each guest staying at Mandalay Villas.

The villas are managed by an efficient team of staff who ensure that your every need is met. They work quietly and tirelessly in the background, never intrusive, keeping the villas in pristine condition. The chef is adept at local as well as western cuisines and can dish out delicious fare to please even the most finicky eaters.

Seven-bedroom Villa Mandalay and four-bedroom Villa Mandalay Dua can be rented separately or be combined for larger groups. This makes the estate a perfect venue for large gatherings, reunions, retreats, and weddings. The villas are private but connected via a secret garden path, enabling easy access. With facilities such as a private six-hole pitch and putt golf course, a Finnish-style sauna overlooking a lotus pond, a mezzanine-level home theatre, and plenty of board games, there’s plenty to keep everyone busy. And if an excursion is on the cards, the fascinating Tanah Lot Sea Temple is only ten minutes away.

Location

Mandalay Villas boast an unbeatable rural setting but are within a very easy (10 minute) drive of Canggu - Bali’s hottest and hippest haunt. The villas look across acres of rice fields, unchanged for centuries, and onwards towards the glinting Indian Ocean, just 3km away. A scenic stroll or short drive will bring you to the black sands of Seseh Beach and the iconic Tanah Lot Sea Temple. As well as the many new cafés, beach bars, restaurants and boutiques of Canggu, cosmopolitan Seminyak is just 13km from the villa. A car and driver is available to guests at a reasonable daily rate.

More information for Things to do

Mandalay Villas’ manager will have a wealth of information about nearby places of interest and will help arrange transport and make any bookings required. Do also ask the staff about the local area. Many of them live nearby and will be able to give an interesting insight into some of the fascinating aspects of Bali life.

In the meantime, here is a taste of the many and varied activities on offer within reach of the villas.

Mandalay Villas are close to the famous temple at Tanah Lot (8km), a beautiful temple set on a rocky, wave battered island just metres off the beach. In peak season a few too many tourists may transform a sunset visit into more of a heaving photo opportunity than a moving experience. Visiting early in the morning (8-9am) provides a better idea of the power of the location and the chance to see it undisturbed apart from perhaps an offering ceremony.

  1. Villa Mandalay is close to the famous temple at Tanah Lot (8km), a beautiful temple set on a rocky, wave battered island just metres off the beach. In peak season a few too many tourists may transform a sunset visit into more of a heaving photo opportunity than a moving experience. Visiting early in the morning (8-9am) provides a better idea of the power of the location and the chance to see it undisturbed apart from perhaps an offering ceremony.
  2. A nice sunset alternative is to head down to Echo Beach (6km) where a number of cafes offer good sunset views and cold beer, including famous nightly barbecue at Echo Beach House. Note that the beach here is dark volcanic sand and the waters are better suited to surfing, having a pronounced swell and rip, rather than children’s swimming. Hotel Tugu, a very stylish and eclectic boutique hotel a few minutes further down the coast was created by one of Indonesia’s premier art collectors, and provides a range of atmospheric dining experiences.
  3. Horseriding at Kuda P stables on professionally trained horses and ponies will take you through the lush rice terraces around Kerobokan, or provide the chance for a sunset gallop through the surf along the rugged south-western coast.
  4. Fashionistas, trendies and shop-a-holics should hot-foot it down to Seminyak, Bali’s most cosmopolitan enclave (6km). Here, you can indulge for hours in the glut of stylish, chic boutiques. There is a wide choice of fine dining, mid range, and cheap ‘n cheerful restaurants in Seminyak too: fine dining venues include Mama San, Sardine and Métis.
  5. Explore the charming Tabanan regency, revealing terraced rice fields of emerald green, volcanic mountains and black-sand beaches dotted with fishing communities. Or head north to explore the volcanic lakes near the mountain town of Bedugul, including Lake Bratan with its photogenic and stunningly positioned Pura Ulun Danu – one of Bali’s most important temples.
  6. Acclaimed as the world’s best, the atmospheric Elephant Safari Park in Taro (north of Ubud) provides a sanctuary for elephants rescued from Sumatra, with opportunities for trekking, hand feeding, and photo taking. There is also a fascinating museum and an excellent restaurant in a beautiful tropical setting deep in the forests of Bali’s hinterland.
  7. The most exclusive Bali trekking tour promises breath-taking vistas and heart-warming encounters while supporting sustainable social change in the once-forgotten villages of Muntigunung. Elite Havens is a proud partner of Muntigunung Community Social Enterprise.
  8. Explore the scenic rice-field landscape and rural villages; a great way to get under the skin of the ‘real’ Bali. Stop off at a local warung (café) to sample some basic Balinese fare or cool off with a cold drink.
  9. Covering 3.8 hectares of tropical parkland in Kuta, Waterbom Bali has 16 water slides (including The Climax with its 360 degree loop) to entertain the young and the young at heart. A great family day out, but go early to beat the crowds.
