This single-storey property is totally private and self-contained with its own entrance, a living and dining room with open-plan kitchenette, a flat-lawned garden and 7-metre swimming pool flanked by a timber deck and four palm trees.

In this hip and happy haven in the heart of Seminyak, guests will find a serious serving of decadent flair. Although the architectural materials are natural and neutral – characterised by soaring roofs and an abundance of glass – the villa’s décor and furnishings are, eclectic and sumptuous. From the beaten copper lamps that illuminate the solid wood dining table for 10, to sinuous sofas, vivid artwork and ethnic artefacts, Villa Eshara II’s interiors are the epitome of sleek designer-chic and pared-back luxe.

Bedrooms continue the cool and contemporary concept, presenting king-size beds, lamps, dressing areas and wall-mounted TVs. Light bounces from the mirrored walls of the marble-enhanced ensuite bathrooms, which are fitted with indoor and outdoor walk-in rain showers, and twin washbowls on marble vanity units.
