Asia’s grandest heritage hotels of the 1930s provide the strongest design influence for Villa Batavia, an enchanting five-bedroom villa (which can also be rented as a four), an easy stroll from Seminyak beach on Bali’s southwestern shore. Securely set in the Laksmana Estate among some of the island’s most prestigious villas, Villa Batavia its stunning colonial-style architecture.

Villa Batavia delivers all the privileges of luxury living yet with the level of attention and privacy you simply can’t experience even in a five-star hotel. With such pampering, there may be little reason to leave the confines of the villa. But it’s reassuring to know that you’re in the heart of chic Seminyak, and that a hop and skip away is a sublime choice of world-renowned bars, restaurants, boutiques and spas as well as Bali’s famed sunset beach.
