TROPICAL LIVING, AT BALI'S VILLA KOYAMA

Villa Koyama is a delightful five bedroom retreat that celebrates the relaxed mood of tropical living.

From the moment you arrive at the antique door inviting you in, you wander through in awe at the surrounds. Nestled within the tranquil confines of a native and tropical garden, this spacious holiday residence exudes rustic charm. Walking from the bedroom to the living room to the pool is a delight, everywhere your eyes land there is something beautiful to settle on, from the wooden rustic chairs to the antique cupboards filled with beautifully stacked towels in the outdoor bathroom.

I was in stylists heaven. Even the feel of the floorboards under my bare feet gave me the warm fuzzies.

The location of the villa is in the heart of Seminyak, bordering on Kerobokan; it sits behind a long and winding street called Jalan Petitenget (petty-teng-it). Similar to the likes of Oxford Street or Chapel Street, it is basically the strip to shop when in Bali.

Returning to the villa after a busy day shopping and eating and exploring is beautiful; the styling ensures that up to ten adult guests are accommodated in complete comfort. As like most Bali villas, communal areas are open and have been designed for social interaction. Other spots within the compound promise quiet moments alone, which is always needed when on holidays with a group of friends or family.
