The Seri Villas Seminyak

Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Seminyak, Villa Seriska keeps its distance from the traffic without losing the address. The lane runs a couple of minutes from Bali Deli and the high street, close enough for a market run before breakfast. Three villas make up the property, ranging from one to three bedrooms, each with its own pool and outdoor bathroom. Teak and rattan furniture fills the bedrooms, paired with natural stone floors and Balinese carvings; the three-bedroom villa runs to solid teak wood throughout, with designer fabrics against the darker grain. A private chef comes with every stay, cooking breakfast daily and taking orders for lunch and dinner from a set menu that runs from Ribeye steak to Balinese classics. Housekeeping calls twice, with turndown in the evening. You can walk to the beach from the villa gate. A villa manager arranges spa treatments, private drivers and day trips, and the staff run the mosquito spraying and pool upkeep without being asked. It suits a family or a group of friends more than a solitary traveller, given the shared pool and open living spaces. The garden holds a swing and a covered cabana, useful for breakfast out of the midday sun. Airport transfers are included on arrival.
