Exotic eastern flavour meets contemporary western comfort at stylish Villa De Suma, at the heart of Seminyak’s glamorous golden triangle. Set in a secure estate just minutes from a sandy beach and all the action of ‘eat street’, foodies, bar-hoppers and shopaholics alike will love this villa’s trendy location. And when you grow weary of sampling the many delights of Seminyak, you can revel in your own fully staffed private retreat, where cares of the world are instantly forgotten.
Rustic yet refined, Villa De Suma hints at the grace and romance of a bygone era, with its majestic recycled ironwood pillars, oriental antiques and Indonesian curios. Yet there are plenty of mod cons to ensure the most luxurious holiday, including customised furniture, WiFi, Bose speakers and LCD Satellite TV throughout. The 12-metre tropical swimming pool overlooks a vertical garden bursting with tropical foliage – while a wide sun deck has built-in daybeds and deck chairs. The four spacious bedrooms are contemporary in style, with large dressing rooms and sleek, shiny bathrooms tiled in black granite and equipped with monsoon showers.
Villa De Suma’s position makes it perfect for groups wishing to paint the town red, but its secure estate location and friendly staff mean it is just as suitable for families. Dozens of restaurants are within easy walking distance, but should you wish to stay in, a private chef is on hand (available on extra charge) to prepare generous western, Indonesian and Asian cuisine from a suggestion menu.
For those with a yearning to explore the island, the villa manager will be happy to make recommendations for places to visit, and can organise tours or customised day trips with a private car and driver. Yet with such a gorgeous villa, and so much fun right on your doorstep you may be happy to stay put!

Location
Villa De Suma is set in Bali’s ‘Golden Triangle’, the hippest and most happening corner of the island. With several exclusive resorts in the neighbourhood, you are in great company. The villa is located on a shady lane in a secure private estate of unique luxury properties, Laksmana Villas, just a few hundred metres from Petitenget beach and its ancient temple. A myriad restaurants, bars, boutiques and spas are also within walking distance, or just a short taxi ride away. Closest options include brunch at legendary La Lucciola, cheap and cheerful curry and divine gelato at Lello Lello. You can also opt for an extravagant spa treatment at Bodyworks, or check out Bali’s newest shopping mall, The Village.
More information for Things to doThere is no shortage of things to do in Seminyak, whether catching a wave or ushering in a glorious sunset at a beach club, hitting world class boutiques or browsing at colourful markets. Restaurants and bars seem to open every week in this trendy district, leaving you spoilt for choice when it comes to dining options. You can also join a fascinating Balinese cooking class with our experienced villa chef (available on extra charge) and learn to make Balinese favourites like satay lilit ayam (chicken satay), and sambal matah (spicy lemongrass/shallot) relish, which can include a visit to the market to buy vegetables and spices.
Should you wish to explore further afield, your villa manager will be happy to give you the inside scoop on what to do and where to go. He can also arrange a car and driver or customise an island tour for you.In the meantime, here is a taste of the many and varied activities on offer within reach of the villa:
- Shop till you drop! The streets of Seminyak are a shop-a-holics dream, with everything from chic designer boutiques to surf outlets and funky street wear. 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. Potato Head has a rocking sounds system and some of the best cocktails on the island. A short taxi ride will bring you to Sardine, Métis and Republik 45.
- Get Wet n Wild at Waterbom, Bali’s premier water park set in 3.8 hectares of tropical gardens. 17 waterslides include adrenalin-inducing rides like Smash down and Climax. Those more inclined to leisurely pursuits can float on the lazy river or swim up to the pool bar for a cocktail. Its one of Bali’s most popular attractions, so get there early to beat the crowds.
- A nice sunset alternative is to head down to Canggu Beach (8km) where cafes offer good sunset views and cold beer. 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bali Treetop Adventure Park is near the town of Bedugal in northern central Bali (next to Lake Bratan). Five adventure circuits, with heights ranging from two to 20 metres, challenge all level and ages on suspended bridges, spider nets, Tarzan jumps and 12 flying foxes.
- Explore 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.
