Villa Kubu 5

The superlative selection of heavenly retreats at Villa Kubu showcase the sublime sophistication of Bali – within walking distance of Seminyak, the island’s most vaunted district, it is little wonder this elegant oasis is so highly prized.

Each of the seventeen individually curated villas retains a serenity thanks to the considered layout of the grounds, with private pools laying hidden behind one, two, three or four-bedroom abodes. Manicured gardens enhance the oasis-like aura and each dwelling is an astonishingly romantic hideaway for betrothed couples or small groups.

Sanctuaries for the body as well as the mind, the villas offer myriad space to recline beside lotus-lined ponds and beneath shady palms with the trickle of water features the only soporific sound to soothe the soul. Eclectic artworks add flourishes of vibrant colour to the stylishly decorated interiors, while hand-selected furnishings ensure the height of opulence. Supported by a discrete team of expert staff, the experience is unrivalled with breakfasts served on sun-kissed terraces and specialist treatments offered in the confines of Villa Kubu’s very own spa.

A 5-minute stroll from the enchanting Villa Kubu lands guests in the heart of Seminyak: undoubtedly Bali’s most lively nightspot. Renowned for its uber-chic vibe and eclectic mix of indulgent beach clubs, high-end dining establishments and bountiful boutiques, this is a town for any boho-inspired jetsetter. Seminyak beach is an immaculate shoreline setting that stretches for miles, providing the perfect backdrop for ephemeral sunsets as the sky lights up each evening with its dramatic display.

Just a short drive to the airport makes this a favoured destination for those seeking stress-free indulgence; honeymooners are whisked into paradise within seconds of stepping off the plane, before heading in search of Bali’s most vaunted hotspots - few villas boast such unbridled access to vast selections of world-class locales. From the entrancing art galleries of Kuta through to the ultra-trendy bars of Petitenget, embrace the luxuriant nature of this unprecedented offering and relish the attractions that hide at every turn.

The one-bedroom Villa Kubu 5 is a romantic retreat befitting of any contented couple. A discrete private swimming pool offers inviting waters in which to frolic beyond the beautifully designed abode, while a multitude of local fabrics and tasteful bedspreads elicit the finest sense of luxury. The king-sized bed offers a serene poolside vista and a tantalising timber deck creates a wonderfully isolated space within the dense tropical gardens in which couples can inhale the rich aroma of the frangipani. Then choose to recline on a shaded daybed out of the sun’s warming rays and request the resplendence of 24-hour room service.

A team of dedicated staff remain on call to tend to any guest whims, serving a sublime breakfast spread each morning and offering bespoke dining experiences as evenings draw in; poolside barbecue banquets are folkloric with many guests indulging on more than one occasion.

The garden offers a secret doorway into Villa Kubu 6, so when travelling with family, it is possible to add this two-bedroom dwelling to accommodate up to six guests in one single space.

Villa Kubu 5 must be the most deluxe one-bedroom property on the planet. With the capacious grounds of the estate, plus the added benefit of a private swimming pool to the rear, there are few more idyllic hideaways. A local charm is captured through the generous use of traditional décor, as natural elements and hand-carved statues enhance the paradisiacal aura of the villa.

The tranquillity of the setting belies its supreme location as myriad attractions lie within easy reach, though the allure of the onsite spa and divine cuisine may entrap guests within such utopian surrounds; the draw of Seminyak will perhaps be enough to encourage just one night of bedlam. From sundown aperitifs to unimaginable cuisine, slip from one indulgence to the next and embrace the top-quality service offered throughout this world-renowned destination.

There are few better ways to experience this magical island than from the inspired surrounds of this elegantly secluded property.
