“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.

“Best birthday I could have had” Villa ketumber was exactly as described and the photo were an excellent indication of how this villa is. Travelling with my grown family and a few of their friends there was room for everyone. Nice and close to everything we wanted. Staff were very helpful especially ajan the gardener who went above and beyond many times for us all. We loved tickis the cat even if she can be a little noisy through the night lol . Hadrien was fantastic with his quick responses to any queries we had before coming and showed great compassion for an incident we had while we stayed there. Have stayed in villas many times in Bali and this was my favourite.

“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!

“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.

“An outstanding villa with fantastic service !” Wow ! Wow ! Wow ! An amazing villa that truly accommodated to the needs of the 12 of us ! The bedrooms are independent villas ( similar to the ones in Datai in Langkawi ) our children stayed in the orange room which had 3 bunk beds & 2 single beds and and when we walked in, you can hear the exclamations of excitement and screams from the children. With the adjoined red room , you get a huge king size bed which my daughter had her blissful nights of sleep. Whilst you rent the accommodation similar to most independent ones, with arsana Estate , you get the option to have their staffs provide meals for you on a daily basis like a full fledged hotel. The meals which were prepared nightly ( we did not even bother to venture out to the restaurants ) to both the children and adults were sooo delicious ( we had Indonesian food most of the times ) you must order the grilled ribs which were to die for, suckling pig was such a treat and the beef rending , gado gado and pomelo salad were favorites of my family. They have a great snooker room, a very impressive TV room, where we had numerous nights watching movies and having pop corns. During the day, other than spending a few hours out in Seminyak shopping or gallery viewing in Ubud ( both about 30-40 mins drive away and the villa can organize a driver who can drive y around should you wish to venture out ) you will find that you would rather return to the calm serenity which arsana offers and just relax , watch the sun set in the elevated pavilion, served by their wonderful staffs , a platter of snacks and champagne . What more can you ask for ... This was a perfect getaway holiday!

“Consistently exceptional!” My friends always ask me why I keep going back to Villa Wilali and the answer is really simple. I've travelled all over the world in search of a piece of paradise and nothing compares to wilali for relaxation, privacy and pampering! Everything is affordable, the food is great, the snorkeling is amazing and the weather warm. The yoga on the lawn was brilliant and the massages by the ocean are divine. The whole experience is pure bliss.

“Like paradise” We have had a wonderful and memorable holiday. The staff is helpful, friendly and they are really doing all they can to please us. Every day we were amazed that everything went so smoothly. We were very pleased with the service mindedness and attention to the details that has made this holiday a great experience for all of us. Ita and Tommik made exellent food for us every day.

“Perfect setting” We travelled to Candidasa in Jan 2013 for 8 days (2 adults & 3 kids 11,8 & 4). We stayed in Jogolo and the accommodation was exactly as pictured. It was very comfortable & clean. We all had an amazing stay mostly relaxing by the pool and are all very much looking forward to another stay. We were delighted by the hospitality offered by Iouri and the lovely staff. We have no hesitation recommending the accommodation as it was really lovely.
