Bali – The Best Accommodation in Seminyak
The tropical island of Bali is nothing short of paradise and the ultimate destination for both adventure style and relaxing retreat holidays. The Balinese people are amongst the friendliest on earth and a major reason why this island draws me back year after year. One of the premier attractions for tourists of all distinctions is the array of superb quality and truly unforgettable accommodation options in the growing tourist area of Seminyak.
I have travelled to Bali now on over 30 separate occasions in the past 25 plus years and on each of these visits I have had the privilege to stay in some of the finest properties the island has on offer. For me personally the province or village of Seminyak offers some of the very best villa retreats this island has to offer. Although many other establishments deserved a place on this list these are my personal favorites.
Kanishka Villas: Offering both 1 and 2 bedroom options the villas at Kanishka have been meticulously planned to present the guest with the highest levels of comfort and luxury. Guest service and attention to detail is nothing short of first class and the staff will go to any lengths to ensure your stay is a memorable one. There is a very high standard of interior design in both the furnishings and facilities available in each villa. Superbly located just 15 minutes from the international airport the Kanishka Villas are located down a quiet lane within a stones throw of the highly regarded Bali Deli.
Be sure to stop in here for a fine selection of world-class goodies. You will be just minutes walk from Bali’s best boutiques, spa facilities, dining houses and the wonderful beaches are but a 10-minute stroll away. The Villas are a match for any 5 star destination and the living arrangements are centered on the generous and inviting private swimming pool, large relaxing sofas, wide open dining, fully equipped kitchen, sun-deck with loungers – all designed for undisturbed relaxation. And, with the large 42-inch television, sound system, DVD player, and high-speed internet access, you can remain connected and informed!
Disini Villas: The Disini Villas are self-described as being 22 “Tropical Elegance” styled 1 bedroom villas with infinity pool, spacious living/dining area and European kitchen, enclosed within a beautifully manicured garden. As with the Kanishka Villas, the guest service is premium. The staff will go to any lengths to ensure your stay is the best it could possibly be and of course to ensure your return. The massive king-size bedrooms adjoin an in-room spa en-suite complete with massage table, marble bath and separate shower room.
Furnishings and decorations are traditional Balinese in nature but with a modern luxurious emphasis. The renowned Balinese tropical elegance and style is captured in every detail, from the thatched ceilings right down to the fine quality of decorations and ornaments. Your nightly stay is inclusive of a complimentary gourmet breakfast and 24 hour attentive butler service is also provided to ensure your complete satisfaction. The Disini Villas are located in the heart of the dining strip of Seminyak down a very quiet, secure and private lane.
Cicada Luxury Townhouses: Self-described as a new concept in luxury beach-side accommodation the townhouses are just a short stroll form the magnificent Petitenget beach and the iconic restaurants of the Seminyak dining strip. Just a short 20-minute drive from the international airport you will be treated like royalty on arrival with a speedy check-in service. These are fully self-contained private residences providing both short and long-term options for the most discerning of travelers. Both interior and exterior facilities represent the highest levels of finish reflecting the extreme demands that one has come to expect in Seminyak.
Not only are transfers included from the airport but upon request escort services for express customs and immigration clearance can be provided. Each townhouse provides an opulent out-door bathrooms and tropical gardens, I-pod docking stations, complimentary internet wi-fi, 24-hour in-room dining and butler service as well as access to the 25 meter lap pool and Jacuzzi. Every luxury is afforded in these wonderfully spacious townhouses and I highly recommend this property for your next stay in Bali.
Whatever your budget the island has accommodation to suit. No matter where you choose to stay on this tiny piece of paradise, one thing you will grow to discover is that choice is unrestricted and certainly a part of the adventure of a Balinese holiday. There are countless options to explore and in over twenty years I am still finding new, and wonderfully indulgent experiences. I am sure you will grow to love the island of Bali and its beautiful people as much as I do.
