Villa Indrani

In summary

This stunning fully staffed five-bedroom luxury villa in Canggu is perfect if you’re looking for a stylish hideaway close to the beach.

Villa Inaya is built in an L-shape around a walled garden courtyard that features a stunning 10-metre pool and sun deck. It has not one but two sumptuous master bedrooms. Both ooze old-style colonial romance and come with a spacious ensuite bathroom, a large dressing area and a desk space.

The three guest bedrooms on the mezzanine floor are equally comfortable and each comes with an ensuite bathroom. Their floor-to-ceiling windows provide wonderful views over the pool and the rest of the neighbourhood, but nonetheless give plenty of privacy.

The living and dining space has a minimalist mid-century retro style. Thanks to the warm wooden furnishings and tasteful lighting, it feels very cosy both day and night. It also features a gorgeous open-plan kitchen exclusively for guest use – perfect if you love cooking for friends or family.

Not that you have to do any cooking of course. From butlers and housekeepers to security guards and a private chef, Villa Inaya has a full contingent of professional and highly trained staff who’ll be delighted to tend to your every need – whether that involves sampling some of the chef’s Indonesian cuisine, or sipping a chilled mojito by the pool, freshly prepared by your butler. Just sit back, relax and let the staff take care of everything else.


Bedrooms

The villa’s two sumptuous master bedrooms - one on the upper and one on the lower floor – are mirror images of each other and exude a lovely old-style colonial feel. Both bedrooms are very spacious and feature desk and dressing areas, along with a large ensuite bathroom with a beautiful stone tub and a monsoon shower. They both have a king-size four-poster bed with a soft white canopy that doubles up as a mosquito net.

The three guest bedrooms are located next to each other on the mezzanine floor and are identical. They each have a king-size four-poster bed with mosquito net and an ensuite bathroom with a tub and a rain shower. All three bedrooms have floor-to-ceiling sliding windows, allowing guests to fully appreciate the lovely views over the pool and the surrounding area.


Indoors

Accessed via a large parking area at the villa’s upper level, Inaya’s entrance hall can best be described as monumental: its wooden panelling and sizeable bamboo lampshades provide a great flavour of what’s to come.

The villa’s other communal areas are situated on the lower floor. The design of the living and dining space has been kept purposefully minimal, but its subtle furnishings and ornaments nonetheless give it plenty of character. Surrounded on three sides by floor-to-ceiling sliding windows, this space feels very bright and airy.

The living area has two very comfortable sofas, an armchair and a large TV with smart speakers. The dining area is furnished with an impressive square table seating eight people.

Within the living and dining space, the well-equipped guest kitchen comes with a Simonelli espresso machine – one of the best coffee makers available. Simply ask one of your butlers to make you a perfect brew any time of the day. The chef, however, prepares most of the meals in a separate staff kitchen tucked discreetly away behind.


Outdoors

The 10 x 10 metre courtyard pool has a large sun deck with six loungers, as well as a small lawn area. Its whitewashed walls ensure plenty of privacy, while a stunning tree root decoration provides a unique focal point. There’s also a fan-cooled outdoor dining table which seats up to ten people – perfect for brunch or dinner by the pool.

On the mezzanine floor a spiral staircase gives access to the rooftop, which makes a great spot for admiring the sunset with a cocktail in hand.

Also on the ground floor is a small shrine where staff make their daily offerings. You’re more than welcome to attend one of these intimate ceremonies, or indeed make an offering yourself for good luck (or good times). The staff will be delighted to tell you more about this strongly held Balinese tradition.

Villa Inaya also has a large parking area just beyond the entrance hall.


Location

Villa Inaya is well situated on a quiet road five minutes’ walk from Berawa Beach. This very popular but chilled beach sits between Seminyak and Canggu and is known for its colourful patchwork of bamboo beach bars. It attracts a friendly and relaxed surfer crowd and is a very photogenic spot for enjoying the sunset.

Villa Inaya is located at the end of a quiet road very close to Berawa Beach – a wide sandy expanse close to Seminyak. This side of Berawa Beach feels relatively unspoilt with its fishing huts and outriggers parked up on the sand ready to go out at night to catch fresh fish.  Nearby is a beautiful natural lagoon – the largest in Canggu – which you can cross via a charming wooden bridge. Before crossing the bridge, you’ll walk past La Laguna – one of Canggu’s most photogenic and popular beach clubs. Made entirely out of driftwood, this place oozes romance and is a fantastic spot to catch the sunset.

Berawa Beach has a reputation for being an excellent surfing spot, especially for intermediate and accomplished surfers. From here, you can walk along the beach to other popular surfing spots such as Batu Bolong Beach and Echo Beach. Or you can walk fifteen minutes south along the beach to experience the glitz and glamour of Seminyak’s most popular beach clubs including W Hotel, Ku Dé Ta and Potato Head. Meanwhile, the village of Berawa has plenty of excellent coffee shops, restaurants and boutiques to choose from.
