Villa Semarapura sits at a picturesque spot in Seseh, Canggu on Bali’s southwest coast. This luxurious five-bedroom estate overlooks a magical sea temple atop a dramatic outcrop of black volcanic rock. Boasting breathtaking ocean views and stunning sunsets, the lavish Villa Semarapura delivers a holiday like no other.
Spread over 5000 square metres, this expansive holiday home boasts a 20-metre swimming pool, formal dining room, media room, and a large rolling garden. Villa Semarapura caters to all age groups seeking a unique and memorable getaway. The evolving landscape nearby has given rise to some interesting roadside, oceanview cocktail and food stalls should you wish to get a glimpse of local nightlife.
A full team of staff is at hand morning, noon and night to serve up succulent feasts, arrange deluxe spa treatments, mix cocktails in the bar and prepare soothing baths. The villa’s driver can whisk you away on a sightseeing or shopping trip, and the housekeepers will discreetly turn down your bed each night. All that’s left for you to do is unwind, relax and enjoy the experience.
Villa Semarapura is perfect for those looking for a beautiful and large holiday villa close to all the action and yet an oasis in itself. Just nine kilometres up the coast are the famous and incredible views of Tanah Lot Temple. To the south are Echo, Canggu and Pererenan beaches – famous for their world-class surf and laid-back vibe. But of course there’s really no obligation to go anywhere at all – just put your feet up and relax – Villa Semarapura will take care of the rest.

Event FacilitiesLocation
Villa Semarapura is located on Cemagi Beach, in full view of the sacred sea temple Pura Gede Luhur Batungaus rising from a rocky outcrop pounded by waves rolling in from the Indian Ocean. The beach of black volcanic sand is great for morning jogs and sunset strolls with far-reaching views towards the Bukit Peninsula, but strong currents render it unsuitable for swimming. The area is no more the quiet and sleepy village it once was. Within walking distance of Villa Semarapura are a handful of other luxury villas and along the roadside, you will find some local cocktail and food stands on the edge of the cliff with views of the ocean. These close by 11pm and are an interesting way to partake in local revelry. A few kilometres away lies the pretty village of Cemagi, where guests can experience the traditional Balinese way of life including colourful Hindu ceremonies. Ten kilometres to the south are some of the island’s best surfing beaches (Echo Beach is renowned for its laid-back surfer vibe), while to the north is the famous Pura Tanah Lot. The villa's 16-seater minibus and driver are available daily for guests who want to explore the island (extra charge applies).
More information for Things to doVilla Semarapura’s manager has a wealth of information about nearby places of interest and will assist with trip arrangements and bookings . Do also ask the staff about the local area too; many live nearby and will be able to share interesting insights into some of the fascinating aspects of traditional Bali life, as well as act as guides to the locale.
In the meantime, here is a taste of the many and varied activities on offer within reach of the villa.
- On special festival days, devout Balinese Hindus wearing ceremonial dress converge on Pura Gede Luhur Batungaus, an important rocky offshore sea temple to perform cleansing rituals beside the ocean.
- Dramatically perched on a craggy outcrop, the highly venerated sea temple of Tanah Lot may resemble Piccadilly Circus late afternoon, but watching the sun slip behind the ancient silhouette and scoring a blessing from a Hindu priest makes it all worthwhile.
- Merica at Pan Pacific Tanah Lot showcases contemporary Indonesian and Southeast Asian classics overlooking the Indian Ocean, golf course or sea temple. There is a special children’s menu, and Merica also prides itself in using fresh resort-grown produce such as rice, eggplants, cherry tomatoes, corn, chilli, papaya and basil.
- Tanah Lot Gastro Deli at Pan Pacific Nirwana Resort, a European-styled deli overlooking the golf course, offers the choice of air-conditioned comfort or spacious outdoor patio or lawn seating during the daytime. Enjoy freshly made sandwiches, organic salads and specialty coffees for lunch, and indulge in a variety of international tapas and a great selection of wine for dinner.
- Head to Bali Island Horse and ATV at Yeh Gangga (near Tanah Lot) for beach rides and the opportunity to swim with the horses.
- Pick up hand-decorated pottery at Tanteri Ceramics, a family business with shop and gallery supporting local artisans in the village of Pejatan, Tabanan.
- At Krambitan, a branch of the Tabanan royal family owns the atmospheric 17th-century Puri Anyar (New Palace) and Puri Agung (Great Palace), both with beautiful architecture and ambiance of the past.
- At 850 metres (2,700ft) above sea level, Jatiluwih (which means extraordinary or truly marvellous) offers one of the most breath-taking panoramic views imaginable, with rice terraces stretching all the way to southern Bali. Padi Bali (indigenous Balinese rice) with long graceful stalks is grown at this UNESCO World Heritage Site, dedicated to the preservation of traditional Balinese farming techniques.

Dining
Villa Semarapura’s chef has received rave reviews for her imaginative meals: “the best food I’ve had in Bali”; “unbelievable”; “amazing” and “outstanding – a real highlight”.
For breakfast, there’s a choice of American, Indonesian, continental or healthy. For lunch and dinner, guests may choose from an extensive suggestion menu that includes popular local dishes as well as tapas, pizzas and pastas, seafood, imported meats, and desserts.
The chef is happy to run impromptu cooking classes, where guests join her in the well-equipped kitchen and learn how to prepare house specialties such as shredded chicken salad with palm sugar dressing, Lombok gazpacho with spiced tomato sorbet, pork ribs with Balinese spices, and beef rendang. For a gourmet dining experience, guests can also enjoy a poolside seafood barbecue (jumbo prawn, snapper, tuna steak, calamari, scallops, lobster sourced from local fishermen), a Balinese set menu with babi guling (suckling pig), pepes ikan (fish steamed in a banana leaf), and Rijsttafel – a sampling of Indonesian dishes giving a true taste of the archipelago.
Groceries and beverages are charged at cost price plus 20% handling fee which is subject to service charge and government tax. Staff will request a cash float on guest arrival and ask for top-ups as and when necessary. Receipts will be presented either on a daily or end-of-stay basis, according to the guests’ preference. To allow the chef time to shop and prepare, it’s necessary to order in advance – either the evening before (for special requests) or at breakfast time each day.
