Barely three minutes walk to Berawa Beach, Canggu Plaza, and Canggu Club, in the up-and-coming residential area of Subak Sari – Canggu is a fabulous holiday rental property.

Carved double wooden doors open onto the entrance garden and the open living room beyond. Welcome to Villa Palma.

This fabulous colonial-style four-bedroom villa ranges over one floor and is set on 1,200 sq. meters. The living area looks out over the pool and lounge pavilion – bale – through a line of palm trees and tropical landscaping.

To the left is the media room – equipped with LCD TV – offering cable and DVD – comfortably nestled with sofas and a small guest lavatory. Adjacent is one of the Master bedrooms overlooking the garden – with a four-poster bed, spacious bathroom with bathtub, and walk-in closet.

To the right of the living and dining area is the second master bedroom with an ample size bathroom and bathtub. The adjacent guest rooms – twin-bedded yet can be made into queen size beds – also have en-suite bathrooms and all are accessed directly from the garden.

The kitchen and wet pantry take up the rear part of the house along with staff quarters and laundry room. The two-car garage allows for off-street parking.

Villa Palma’s architecture, with its through breezes and pavilion walkways shaded with flowering Thumbergia gives a genteel feel to contemporary Bali. Ideal for families, Villa Palma is fully staffed and has 24-hour security.
