Villa Atas Ombak
Seminyak, Bali

Sitting on an acre and a half of luscious gardens, Villa Atas Ombak sleeps 10 people in five bedrooms and has a large swimming pool and a number of living spaces. The villa is located on a 100m-long sunset-facing beach only a few kilometers north of Legian, but far enough away from Bali’s tourist crowds to ensure total privacy.

The property includes a two-storey main building housing three bedrooms, a dining area and entertainment room and a large separate entertainment pavilion that functions as an open-air living room fronting on the pool. There is also a separate guesthouse containing two large Ocean bedrooms.

A bespoke menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner can be pre-arranged or planned with your villa manager each morning, ranging from international dishes to local Balinese cuisine. Food and beverages are charged based on a grocery cost system plus 20% surcharge.

Villa Atas Ombak is a member of the Canggu Club (Bali's first country club) and the villa guests are eligible to use the club facilities, which include a full gym & spa, tennis & squash courts, football pitch, large pool and all its F&B facilities.

Visit the Hindu temple of Pura Petitenget, go horseback riding along the southern beaches and the lush rice terraces of Kerobokan, go surfing in Seminyak, and enjoy the area’s array of lively bars, restaurants and nightclubs like Ku De Ta.

To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.
