Imagine staying in the hottest holiday spot in Bali, next to the coolest nightspot and with your own secret passage to the beach. Rubbing shoulders with the hip Woo Bar at W Resort and with private access to Pettitenget Beach a five-minute walk away, the ultra-chic Villa Cendrawasih nestled in a charming neighbourhood between Petinget, Seminyak and Canggu, delivers on all counts.
In keeping with its fashionable surroundings, this four-bedroom villa makes quite a design statement itself, with contemporary furniture, a grey-and-indigo colour palette and stunning paintings adorning the walls. There’s masses of entertaining space in the large living and dining room that opens onto the pool. And for glimpses of the ocean and a ringside seat for Bali’s spectacular sunsets, guests are quick to head skywards to the rooftop terrace for colorful cocktails sipped in supine comfort on the outdoor sofa.
Sunbathe by the 18m pool? Pump some weights in the air-conditioned gym? Select a movie and settle down in front of the 55-inch TV in the media room? Flip through the suggestion menu and let the resident chef cook up a storm for the evening? Daytime, the only action required of you is making simple decisions; otherwise, with a full complement of staff including attentive butlers from 7:00 to 23:00, you won’t need to lift a finger and every need is effortlessly taken care of. There’s even a driver and car on stand-by for your use at a special rate of US$ 45++ for up to eight hours a day excluding petrol – but as the beach with its panoramic coastline views is a five-minute stroll away, Bali’s fourth largest temple not much further, and a proliferation of designer boutiques are within an easy walk, you might not see so much of him.
Villa Cendrawasih takes its name from New Guinea’s birds of paradise– those remarkable birds known for their spectacular plumage and arresting courtship displays. It’s certainly the place to indulge in your own romantic rituals, spread your wings on the beach, or strut your stuff around Bali’s most noted restaurants and bars – Potato Head, and La Lucciola are all within a kilometer away.

Conveniently and fashionably located, Villa Cendrawasih is tucked away at the end of a lane between Batubelig Beach (300m) and the popular shopping/dining district of Petitenget (900m). W Resort and Spa is right next door and, although the setting is serene and still partly rural, hundreds of restaurants, bars and boutiques are within a two-kilometre radius of the villa.
More information for Things to doVilla Cendrawasih’s 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 villa.
- 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. The Woo Bar at W is great for sunset drinks. Two beachclubs, Cocoon and Potato Head, are 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 or to Hog Wild in Bali, famous for its barbecue ribs and wicked Martinis.
- Fashionistas, trendies and shop-a-holics should hot-foot it down to Seminyak, Bali’s most cosmopolitan enclave. Here, you can indulge for hours in the glut of stylish, chic boutiques selling designer ware and handcrafted jewellery. Exotic homewares are also a Balinese specialty, from gorgeous hand-crafted ceramics, to embroidered furnishings and all manner of ethnic curios and decorative pieces.
- A nice sunset alternative is to head down to Echo Beach (8km) where a number of cafes offer good sunset views and cold beer, including the famous nightly barbecue at Echo Beach House. 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. Try the more casual cafe across the road; Old Man’s for alfresco all day dining.
- Visit the famous Tanah Lot sea temple. Although renowned for its sunset vistas, going early in the morning provides a better idea of the power of the location and the chance to see it undisturbed, apart from perhaps an offering ceremony.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Explore the scenic rice-field landscape and rural villages by bicycle; 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. A number of operators, including Bali Adventure tours offer ‘downhill cycling’ tours starting from the cool climes of Bali’s mountainous 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 resorts extensive gardens.
- 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.

Dining
Our chef previously worked at La Lucciola – one of Bali’s most celebrated Italian restaurants - and cooks up excellent pasta dishes, and is equally adept at blending an aromatic Thai curry and making traditional Balinese desserts such as dadar– pancakes filled with coconut and palm sugar. He can also grill up a feast of fresh seafood on the barbecue, prepare decadent set menus and poolside snacks and tailor meals to accommodate any special dietary requirements or specific requests.
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.
