Des Indes Villa II

Moments from Petitenget Beach, set within Seminyak's elite Laksmana Estate, lies Des Indes Villa II.  This five-bedroom luxury villa offers guests a contemporary take on old Bali-style open-concept living and Asian heritage chic.  The two vaulted teakwood-lined bedroom pavilions facing each other across the 10-metre swimming pool are rich with colonial-style furniture, oriental rugs, and Chinese and Indonesian artefacts.  Counterpointing the traditional influence are more contemporary luxuries - top-range King Koil mattresses, crisp cotton bed-linen, curved 47-Inch TVs with satellite channels in the bedrooms, and Body Shop toiletries in the air-conditioned Italian marble bathrooms.

Stretch out in the shallows of the pool, dry off on one of the sun-loungers then feast on lunch at the marble-topped table in the poolside pergola.  Curl up on the antique daybed in the living room with a good book from the villa's eclectic collection.  Then, after soaking in a petal-strewn bath, put on your glad rags and wander across to Potato Head for sunset cocktails, followed by candle-lit dinner at La Lucciola before sinking into the comfort of your romantic four-poster bed.

Of course there is no need to leave the villa at all - among the seven-strong team on hand to pamper you is an accomplished chef who can prepare meals throughout the day to a reasonably priced menu.

With the beach, boutiques, restaurants, bars and spas of Seminyak just moments away, a honeymooning couple, two couples or a small family will find Des Indes Villas II the perfect choice for their Bali vacation.  For larger groups (up to 18 adults and four extra children), the villa can be rented in conjunction with the four-bedroom Des Indes I to create a nine-bedroom estate with three pools - perfect for extended families or groups of friends.
