The villa accommodation boom is leading Bali's renaissance as a top-end destination.

Self-contained, fully-serviced villas suit couples, and groups of family and friends who, by sharing, can afford luxury - often with spa treatments, butler service or car and driver on call.  Many invest in these properties, securing a luxury lifestyle at a fraction of costs back home. 

Villa holidays provide privacy, exclusivity and independence, ideal for those who already know their way around Bali.  As more discerning visitors forsake the old backpacker/beach haunts, outlying districts like Seminyak, home to fine dining and boutiques, come to the fore; and there are some welcome surprises awaiting further around the coast, or inland at Ubud.
