“Peaceful, delightful Balinese styled villa....” Photos and the information provided by the owner are all true and correct ! The villa is located off the main street, Jl Laksmana, Seminyak - so close to all those wonderful restaurants and boutiques. The property is amazingly quiet. We had everything you would need for an enjoyable stay. The mobile phone was well used to book restaurants; the kitchen was very well equipped with everything you need; the outdoor shower was just lovely. The villa was very clean; housekeeping every day - thanks IDA! The support via requests for information from the owners before we left, along with the support from Dayu and her staff was great. Pool was great for a dip with the beach not too far away. I stayed here with my husband, my 19 yo daughter and her friend. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Vila Arianna. Excellent.....

“The best possible way to experience Bali for the first time!” The villa is in a fantastic location, every imaginable amenity is within a 5 minute walk with Seminyak beach not far away either. The villa's amenities were perfect, the private pool in the living area was possibly my favourite place to relax. The staff were amazing... helpful, friendly and always available to assist or advise us with anything we wanted or needed. We will definitely be back!

“Excellent” From the moment I booked the Villa Jenny was amazing in answering all my questions. We stayed over Christmas and New year, Anan arranged our Christmas day feast !!! Omg was amazing, Anan was great the entire stay, Michael, Tin and Dew are all fabulous people and could not do enough for us, we have traveled to Bali many times but never in a large group, we were a group of 9 and the villa was perfect, so close to everything, if you are looking at staying here I would recommend that you do ...we will be back for sure :-)

“Bali bliss!!” I stayed at Villa Dewata with a group of girlfriends and simply had the most wonderful week. The location of the venue was very quiet & private yet still central to all the boutique shops & cafes. The landscape & interiors of the villa were extremely tranquil; each private rooms had plenty of space & was consistently kept very clean & tidy during our stay. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful; they went out of their way to cater for any of our needs. A great holiday!!!

“Beautiful Umalas Villias.” This place was beautiful and clean with everything you would want in a well equipped Villa. Chef was amazing. Tried very hard to make sure we were comfortable with our stay. You would definitely need a taxi to head to the beach or to do some shopping. But nothing was too difficult or too far away. I would highly recommend the villas. And hope to come back soon. It was so peaceful. The owner was always ready to answer any questions we had and helped us tremendously. Along with her amazing staff. Which included the driver, security guards, housekeeper and chief.

“Happy Bali Vacation@ A.W.E.S.O.M.E Villa =)” We booked this villa from the owner, Antonius just days before our trip after seeing the good reviews and beautiful pictures. His response to our emails was prompt & helpful. I will say a personal touch as it was more like booking from a family friend. If you are concerned that the pictures were be different from the actual look of the villa. There is really nothing to worry, as the place was well-equipped & pretty. It was a 5D4N stay for my family with airport pickup. The driver for our airport pickup even came an hour b4 our flight landed! The villa was located in Seminyak whereby there are really lots of great food within short distance like Naughty Nuri, Kuteda, Potatohead, Sea Circus, The Bistrot, Rumours (Taxi Fare: SGD$2-3) & a supermarket right outside the main road of our villa . We even managed to get some great souvenirs from there. Most important is our favourite SPA BALI for massage needs is just less than $2(cab fare) away too! Getting a taxi is not difficult as well if you do not have a hired driver as you can find a lot right outside the main road. My family indeed enjoyed our 1st villa experience. It was also the 1st time that we experienced the service whereby we were given a local mobile for us so that it is much more convenient & having 2 butlers to help us with the daily cleaning and ensuring that we enjoyed our stay. They even buy fruits, cut them and do juices for us as part of their service. They also speak fluent English so language wasn't a problem. During our stay, we hired a driver to bring us around as we felt that it will be much more convenient & the price was reasonable but he got lost when he tried to locate our villa on the 1st day. Antonius was very helpful to him, giving him the directions to the villa when he called him for help as he could not get us on our local mobile. He even gave one of the butler a call to check on us to see if our hired driver found us. Indeed, an extra mile service. Thank You, Antonius!! If my friends will to come Bali, I will definitely recommend them Villa Agni as we really enjoyed our stay. Great Service with a personal touch! =) Actually, I was already sharing with them how great the place is on my first day & recommending them!! hahaa... =)

“Ideal for a family!!” We stayed at Umalas Retreat 2 in August, took advantage of cheap flights from Darwin and there opening special. Our family was not disappointed! Main bedroom extremely spacious, kids rooms well set up and all the amenities that one could ask for. Outside area was good, pool was clean and the kids loved it. Thank you so much to the housekeeper / chef she prepared us local food and we all enjoyed the experience, also thank you to Kay in helping us with the booking and providing us with idea of things to do in the area.

“A holiday made easy!” Merta Sari 10 is comprised of three spectacular villas located in the heart of Seminyak. The villas are tucked away in a quiet corner of Jalan Drupadi which perfectly balances complete eradication of traffic noise, whilst maintaining easy walking distance from some of Bali's best restaurants and other attractions. The experience was made so easy by a little black book which is found on the coffee table of the villas. This book (which we referred to as the Bible!) gives great local insight into tourist destinations, the best restaurants (even the best dishes at the best restaurants), directions to places of interest, phone numbers for taxi services, washing, soft drink and alcohol delivery services; right down to little tips and tricks for getting around in bali (such as how to avoid being ripped off at markets or on the street etc.). I believe the book was written by the owner of the villas, who has compacted years and years worth of local knowledge into one place - so literally everything you need to know about Bali can be found in this book!!! I highly recommend these villas to any kind of travelling group - and make sure you read the back book!!!

“Fulfilled our expectations” This is a great villa, clean, spacious and very peaceful! Can't say enough about the staff, they just wanted to make our holiday special. Owner Noel was great to deal with, he even took the time to come and meet us. The rooms are good, all with air con which is a relief from the heat of Bali. Mozzies are an issue, but that is everywhere in Bali. You have to be diligent and close the villa up early and spray every night, this keeps them at bay! The pool is amazing with direct sunlight from 11am until 4pm- great for getting a tan! I would recommend hiring a car, it makes things so much easier as the villa is slightly out from the main drag of Seminyak. Would highly recommend this villa, it has everything you need!

“Beautiful Villa, Amazing staff and owner!” Wonderful experience at beautiful Bali Villa M - from start to finish! Even before arriving in Bali, the owner, Noel, was incredible and such a fabulous help. The staff are so friendly and quite knowledgable of Bali life and can help with almost anything. The beds were very comfy, and the location was quite ideal - in the middle of everything - yet transport is suggested. Gorgeous oasis tucked away. Thank you to all the staff. I would definitely come here again!

“Will NOT stay Anywhere ELSE!” In this amazing place, you are able to feel like your the only person the on the island, but yet so close to it all! The villa is one of the most beautiful around, and although it is a villa, the service is like a 5 star resort. They are friendly, helpful beautiful people and if you stay long enough (which is not long) they become family. I can not express it enough, but this should be your one and only pick for accommodation. Value for money, great location, luxurious place and awesome owner! Try it...you can thank me later!

“beautiful villa” great villa for large families and friends. Pool was amazing as well as the rooms and amenities. Staff were always friendly and helpful. Large entertainment area, Is a bit of a walk to main Seminyak area but transport was always available at around $3-$4 AUS. would recommend

“What a find!” We are just back from Bali and I have to tell everyone about this amazing villa that we feel so lucky to have found. We have stayed in a number of villas in Bali over the years but Umulas Retreat is one of the few villas where the minute you walk in you know have found something special. We travelled with out daughter and the villa is stocked with games/videos/pool toys which meant that we didn't have to think about anything at all (other than working on our tans). The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble, Juwini is not only an amazing chef cooking up a storm at the drop of a hat (we even had a suckling pig one night!) but a fountain of knowledge - is there anything this lady does not know. She made our stay one we will always remember and cherish and we are already planning our next visit. The villa itself is incredible, the decor is stunning (I'm planning on stealing lots of ideas) and is beyond comfortable, the beds are massive king size beds with the best quality bed linen I came across in the three weeks we spent in Bali. We loved walking through the area and discovering an abundance of new cafes's/restaurants that have popped up, but if we wanted to venture into Seminyak it was 5 mins away. We loved our stay and really can't recommend this villa to everyone we speak to.
