10 Adults
With its chic cutting edge design and sleek modern features, The Iman Villa presents a very modern face amidst Bali’s luxuriant rice paddies and emerald palm groves. Built in gleaming local stone and finished with honey-hued wood this villa is minimalist in style, yet infused with tropical warmth, offering plenty of open spaces and endless views from every room. Early mornings reveal farmers working in the fields while, in the evenings, panoramic sunsets can be enjoyed from the expansive rooftop terrace, thoughtfully fitted with a sunken jacuzzi. Attentive butlers will be happy to serve cocktails and canapés, while dining is a gourmet experience thanks to a talented chef with a background in fine dining.
The Iman Villa includes plenty of family friendly features, including a kids’ wading pool, games and toys. The manicured lawns, neatly terraced to echo the neighbouring rice fields, also make it a great venue for weddings and events. Groups will enjoy the privacy accorded by accommodation spread between two buildings: a main two-storey house containing three bedrooms, and a guest kitchen, plus a two-bedroomed guesthouse with a cosy living/dining area and small kitchen. Looking down over the swimming pool, which juts out dramatically above the terraced lawns, is a vast living pavilion with a comfortable sunken lounge and a dining table for 12. The villa is equipped with Apple TV, large plasma screens and WiFi throughout; perfect for those who wish to stay connected.Located on the fringes of the peaceful village of Pererenan, in Bali’s popular Canggu district, The Iman Villa is ideal for those in search of a quiet retreat, while being close enough to Seminyak for guests to enjoy a night out in one of Bali’s top restaurants or bars, or browse in trendy boutiques and antique shops. Surf beaches and Canggu’s ever-growing selection of laid-back cafés and beach bars are also within easy reach.

Event FacilitiesLocation
The Iman Villa is in the village of Pererenan, which lies within the popular Canggu district. Wandering down the lane from the villa will give you a glimpse into traditional Bali life, with its ornate Hindu temples and shops selling household wares and typical Balinese snacks, but Canggu is fast evolving into Bali's hippest area and its beaches, renowned for sunsets and surf, are just a few kilometres away. Head for nearby Jalan Pantai Batu Balong and you’ll find cool bars, cosy coffee shops, and a great selection of places to eat offering everything from French patisserie to tapas, burgers and vegetarian fare . At Echo Beach, there’s a good choice of restaurants and cafes including The Beach House, offering a daily barbecue and live music on Sundays. Other vibrant music venues include Old Man’s, and Deus Ex Machina. Local boutiques and spas are springing up too, competing with neighbouring Seminyak, just a few kilometres further east.
More information for Things to doIn the meantime, here is a taste of the many and varied activities on offer within reach of the villa.
- Head down to Canggu Beach where cafes offer good sunset views and ice-cold drinks. Old Man’s has a relaxed Sydney-style beer garden, casual meals and live music on the weekend. Hotel Tugu, a very stylish and eclectic boutique hotel is just a hundred metres further up the road and was created by one of Indonesia’s premier art collectors, and provides a range of atmospheric dining experiences.
- Drive westwards to 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.
- Canggu’s Jalan Pantai Batubolong, just a couple of kilometres from the villa, has recently developed into a happening area, with a good range of eateries, spas and boutiques. Enjoy the earthy vibe of Canteen, or indulge in divine French pastries at Monsieur Spoon. Catch some great live bands at Deus and Old Man’s and make sure to drop by Goldust Spa for a deluxe pampering.
- Fashionistas, trendies and shop-a-holics will love exploring Seminyak, Bali’s most cosmopolitan enclave. Here, you can indulge for hours in the glut of stylish, chic boutiques selling designer ware and hand-crafted jewellery. Exotic homewares are also a Balinese specialty, from gorgeous ceramics, to embroidered furnishings and all manner of ethnic curios and decorative pieces.
- You could eat out at a different restaurant in Seminyak every night - for months - and still not run out of options. Jalan Laksmana (also known as Jalan Oberoi and Jalan Kayu Aya) is Bali’s fashionable ‘Eat Street’, offering plenty of high-end restaurants including Teatro Gastroteque. Two newer beach clubs, Cocoon and Potato Head, offer classy seaside alternatives. Then there's La Plancha, a rustic beach bar between Double Six and Gado Gado, which is very popular with good tapas, reasonably priced drinks, live music and DJ events. A short taxi ride will bring you to Sardine for elegant seafood, Métis for French Mediterranean cuisine, or to Hog Wild in Bali, famous for barbecue ribs and wicked Martinis.
- If you are a bold and brave bargain hunter, a spree within the heart of Bali's bustling provincial capital is an exciting and rewarding experience. Visit Denpasar's vibrant markets, where everything and anything is available.
- 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.
- Desa Seni at Berawa Beach, is an eco-friendly village resort providing an authentic Indonesian experience through the exploration of culture, art and yoga. The resort offers a wide variety of yoga classes and also has its own holistic spa and restaurant serving gourmet organic food, most of which is grown in the resort’s extensive gardens.

The villa offers an extensive suggestion menu of delicious home-style meals featuring Asian and international dishes to cater to all tastes, with an excellent selection of vegetarian and children’s options. The chef is also more than happy to tailor meals to accommodate any special dietary requirements. A stay is not complete without sampling the chef’s pepes ikan (fish steamed in banana leaf), satay ayam (chicken satay on bamboo skewers) or pisang goreng (fried banana) with ice cream.
Groceries and beverages are charged at cost price plus 20%++ handling fee. Guests will be requested to provide grocery money in advance, and the staff will do the shopping and keep the receipts for reference. To make the most of the kitchen and give staff time to shop, it is a good idea to plan meals the evening before.
