About Villa Satria
Villa Satria lies at the fringe of fashionable Seminyak and is only a short walk from the beach and Bali`s best restaurants, shops, cafes and nightlife.

At our five-bedroom tropical home, contemporary architecture fuses with a prized collection of Indonesian antiques, offering you all the modern comforts of Western living, with a wide choice of indoor and outdoor lounging and dining spaces designed to suit all moods. If you are feeling the heat, then our air-conditioned living area or dining room will be just the ticket. Alternatively, if a tropical, alfresco lifestyle is more your thing, you will relish our vast open-sided bale pavilion with its massive hardwood dining table and sofas. Alongside the bale, at the heart of the villa, is the 17 x 5-metre swimming pool, which will provide hours of entertainment for everyone, either in the water or lazing upon a sun lounger on the surrounding deck.

Each of the villa`s five air-conditioned, ensuite bedrooms is furnished with twin or king-sized beds, while cheerful colour schemes enhance the holiday vibe. The lavish master suite covers the whole of the upper floor of the two-storey sleeping pavilion, and the mini-master suite and four guest bedrooms are situated on ground level.

Satria offers sophisticated facilities, including an office/TV room, a mini gym, a ping pong table and plenty of toys and games for the kids. Outstanding five-star service is provided by our team of professional staff including an on-site manager, personal butlers, a private chef who can cook virtually anything you can think of, as well as 24-hour security for complete peace of mind.

With all this on hand you may be hard pressed to find a reason to venture out, but if you should want a change of scenery you can take advantage of complimentary guest membership of the nearby Canggu Club, with its impressive range of recreational and sporting facilities.
