Decadent restaurants, classy drinks and shopping galore. Welcome to Seminyak, where bars and cafes that line the roads outdo each other in trendiness and sophistication. Besides shopping for the latest in designer wear and international brands, Seminyak is also big on art and local finds. Its major landmark, Petitenget Temple is hundreds of years old and also the namesake of the street that runs parallel to the beach. Gorgeous sunsets can be witnessed at Petitenget, which sits beside Masceti Ulun Tanjung Temple, where local villagers pray.
If you’re looking for activities for children, head down to Dream Museum Zone (DMZ) for a fun and interactive experience. The kids will love it, it has three large levels to discover. For an intimate art experience, Nyaman Gallery has a range of pieces by local Balinese and Indonesian artists. International talents’ works are also on display. Top off your day of art-sightseeing at the Biasa Art Space, where you’ll find conceptual and avant-garde pieces. Biasa focuses on emerging, progressive art to ensure adequate exposure to young Javanese artists. Make Theatre Art Gallery your last stop. Beautiful Indonesian puppets called wayang will delight you here.
You might be tired after a day of culture—but you’ve come to the right town. Seminyak is famous for its abundance of spas. Bodyworks is known for soothing massages and various treatments. If yoga is more of your thing, Seminyak Yoga Shala is popular. You can also opt to stay in your villa, get an expert massage, and have a yoga teacher come to you.
Here, we list five 3-bedroom villas in the heart of Seminyak where you and your family can enjoy the Easter holidays.
1. The Layar
The Layar, as it’s famously known, was once Paris Hilton’s temporary lair. The star stayed here several years ago—which is not a surprise. The Layar is upscale and chic, yet has all the comforts of home. Most of all, it is design-savvy, with angled walls and large living and dining rooms that open onto an inviting swimming pool. Various floor levels create an interesting play for the eye. Under overlapping roofs, each of the eleven 3-bedroom suites has an outdoor space —whether a deck, a terrace, or a bathroom garden.
You’ll feel a sense of privacy in The Layar, down to the dining and lounging space in the garden beside the pool. Order from the villa complex’s renowned restaurant, Settimo Cielo, for a delectable meal.
“A wonderful holiday with special thanks to the staff.”

2. Villa Adasa
In the heart of Seminyak sits Villa Adasa, designed in traditional Balinese style. There are open-concept pavilions that make for a seamless indoor-outdoor feel. Vaulted ceilings are thatched with ironwood shingles, adding to the villa’s local vibe. Turkish rugs and prints from the 1930’s are part of the tasteful and elegant decor. Large daybeds suggest a relaxing and luxurious vacation.
There are four butlers at your service, along with the chef, housekeeper, security guard and gardener.

Iconic art fills the entire villa, spilling into the garden. There’s a 15-meter pool to match a vaulted living pavilion, glamorous dining areas to host intimate events, sophisticated bedrooms and Philippe Starck-filled bathrooms. Villa Ramadewa has been featured in many magazines for its elegant beauty.

4. Villa Eshara I
Designed with luxury in mind, the 3-bedroom Villa Eshara I houses Swarovski chandeliers, cowhide chairs and vivid artwork. High ceilings and glass windows are seen throughout the villa which is perfect for small families. Situated on a quiet street, Villa Eshara I has a tropical living concept with a pool deck you can lounge on or enjoy candlelit dinners at.
Personal butlers and an in-house chef make your stay perfect.
Guest Review
“We are all so very happy to have chosen to stay at Villa Eshara. It was so accommodating for our large family, the staff wonderful, warm, attentive, polite and always there to help. The chef was amazing. There was not one dish we did not like. The rice is unbelievable. We leave completely satisfied. Ten days of bliss. We will definitely come back. If there is one downside to all of this, is that today we return home – back to reality.”

Much like Villa Eshara I, Villa Eshara III is made up of two pavilions around a tropical garden and swimming pool. Artefacts and lush fabrics fill the house, along with brightly-coloured artwork. The pool deck is trimmed with coconut trees, frangipani and a slew of other tropical plants. You can have anything you desire, courtesy of the large staff.
