Villa Kubu 3

The impressive thatched edifice of the three-bedroomed Villa Kubu 3 blends open-air living with opulent amenities to create the most sublime of tropical escapes. Expansive poolside balés offer peaceful sanctuaries in the heart of private gardens, lackadaisical sun-loungers are picturesque settings for sleepy repose, while ample outdoor space ensures respite from the sultry climes.

Showcasing the best of Balinese architecture, this beach-house style abode is a palatial retreat in which to reside. Towering ceilings ensure airy expanses for daytime relaxation as light pours through wooden-shuttered walls. Find rest on the terraced second-floor and admire the blissful expanse that stretches forth: verdant tropical gardens, a vibrant swimming pool and an ambience of unadulterated peace – stare wistfully into a hypnotic trickle as water features flow below.

This capacious property enjoys abundant sleeping, so families and friends can take delight in the luxuriant facilities available in Kubu village.

In the heart of Bali’s party district lies a magical haven of unbridled tranquillity; just 5-minutes from Seminyak but in a wondrous world of its own, there is an undisturbed sense of serenity that belies the proximity of the island’s finest nightspots.

Alongside its beautiful expanse of golden sands, Seminyak is a hive of high-end eateries that serve everything from progressive Balinese cuisine to indulgent international fare – a true gastronomes dream. Recline in view of the glistening shoreline at any one of a number of paradisiacal beach bars and imbibe countless cocktails before withdrawing to a banquet of Michelin-level exuberance.

For those visiting with family, the enticements of Waterbom Park are too great to resist – an extravagant array of slippery slides to excite any young traveller. Pura Petitenget is an emblem of Bali’s rich cultural heritage and is only a short drive, whilst Uluwatu – a bastion of the island – is further afield but more than worth the journey for the spectacle of expert surfers riding mountainous waves beneath a precipitous clifftop temple.

One of only a handful of three-bedroom properties in this charming village, Villa Kubu 3 is a showcase of open-air living as its two levels ensure a pristine atmosphere of breezy bliss. Admire the deep-blue swimming pool as kids frolic in its cooling embrace, or rest lazily by the pool in any number of restful sun-loungers before retreating to the shady sanctuary of a traditional Balinese balé for a mid-afternoon doze.

The expansive open-plan set up affords indulgent evening barbecues served in beautifully airy environs as the family gathers around a large wooden table for frivolous feasting, prior to retiring into one of three masterful bedroom suites. Each ensuite with its own sense of unspoiled privacy, recline on sublime bedspreads and listen to the soporific hum of the surrounding wildlife, drifting into seamless slumber. Morning refreshment then sought in marble-lined bathrooms that boast freestanding terrazzo bathtubs, before ascending to the upstairs and welcoming in another halcyon day from the majestic jungle-view terrace.

Villa Kubu 3 is a marvellous three-bedroom dwelling that is ideal for any family getaway. Myriad open-air living spaces ensure ample areas for peaceful repose, balconies presiding over the tropically green landscapes to provide pristine vistas, a resplendent pool for respite from hazy days. Discrete daybeds are regal thrones from which to admire sensational panoramas of Seminyak – natural linens imbuing a sense of opulence on these welcoming loungers. The villa harmonises countless Indonesian artefacts into its eclectic interior décor, hand-selected from the market-places that are dotted throughout neighbouring streets.

With its picturesque setting, guests prize their free access to bikes to explore the mystical surrounds of village and beyond – vibrant jungle gives way to a coastal expanse, so rides can go on for hours in such inspiring landscapes. After the indulgence of an à la carte breakfast, exercise is welcomed prior to idyllic afternoons spent in the expert hands of specialist therapists in the divine onsite Venus Spa.
