When picturing your dream island escape, a resort is usually the first option that springs to mind. But, sometimes, splurging on a villa can really take your holiday from zero to one hundred. We mean, not only do you get the whole space to yourselves – including unlimited access to the pool and sunbeds (yes, that does mean no early morning rush to nab a lounger!), but you’ll also get to enjoy all of the five-star perks of a hotel – but in the comfort of your very own tropical paradise. And fortunately, we’ve found a hidden gem of a villa retreat so special – once you check in, we’re pretty sure you’ll never want to leave.

That's right, set amongst lush tropical gardens – just minutes from the beach in Seminyak’s buzzing Oberoi neighbourhood, Villa Samuan is exactly what you’d expect from a luxurious villa getaway. We’re talking private chefs and butlers, sun-drenched living areas, spa-inspired bathrooms, plus its very own wellness spa and international art collection. Made up of two completely separate, self-contained private villas, here, you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Choose from either the two-bedroom Villa Samuan Kalih or the three-bedroom Villa Samuan Siki if you’re travelling with a smaller group, or join them together to create a luxurious five-bedroom retreat – perfect for the whole gang to enjoy.

Whichever you choose, each of these tropical hideaways is a refuge of pure relaxation. Designed to blend traditional Balinese charm with elevated modern luxury, you’ll find locally-inspired architecture and hand-made furniture paired with opulent bedrooms and world-class amenities. There are plush king beds that will make you think you’re sleeping on a cloud, spacious living rooms that open onto a 12-meter private pool and outdoor dining deck, plus your very own massage centre and a kitted-out media room. Amazing, we know.
And, the only thing better than spending the day sipping on villa rosés is spending the afternoon blissing out with an exclusive experience or two. Yep, not a worry in the world will be had from the moment you arrive; from then, it’s all wholesome, locally-sourced food prepared by your team of private chefs and poolside yoga and pilates classes between your spa treatments. With an entire team of some of Bali’s most friendly staff on hand to make sure your stay is a breeze, your hardest decision will be what to try first.
So, if you’re looking to round up your friends and fam for a stay in a quiet little corner of the world whilst still having easy access to all the action, Villa Samuan is the perfect place to melt into your well-deserved break. No, you're not imagining it – everything about this stay just makes sense, including its affordable price.
