Tucked away down a secluded lane amongst luxuriant rice terraces and majestic palm groves are serene The Iman Villa. Designed from gleaming stone from the local area teamed with warm honey-hued wood pillars, it draws from Balinese tradition of building houses from natural materials and open-plan living. Chic minimal furniture teamed with cutting edge design gives the villa a modern edge.
The villa's accommodation is spread over two buildings - the main house and a guest pavilion. The bedrooms have a flexible mix of king size and split twin beds, according to your needs. Inside, floor to ceiling windows opens out to showcase beautiful views and bathe the villa in light. Neutral colour schemes are accentuated with pops of a different contrasting colour in each room and quirky art adorns the walls.
Dining at this villa is a gourmet five-star experience, thanks to the exceptionally talented in-house chef with a background in fine dining. The elegant open-air dining room seats up to 12 people, with striking pendant lighting and stunning views of the rolling countryside. However, if you do wish to cook for yourself, the family kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to whip up a feast.
Landscaped lawns in the style of the rice terraces surround the property, providing ample space for hosting events for up to 100 people. For downtime, there's plenty to keep you entertained at the villa, including a pool table and plasma screen televisions with Apple TV.
On the rooftop terrace, you'll find a decadent sunken jacuzzi and a shimmering blue-green infinity pool that juts over the edge of the greenery. Take a relaxing dip in the pool, then enjoy cocktails and canapes served by private butlers for the ultimate in luxury.
In the early morning light, watch farmers tending to their emerald rice paddies and in the evening, watch the sky light on fire from the comfort of the roof terrace.

Location:
Hidden away in rural Pererenan yet close to all of Canggu's cosy coffee shops and day spas, staying at The Iman Villa really is the best of both worlds. You only have to wander down the discreet lane to catch a snapshot of traditional Balinese life, locals heading in and out of Hindu temples and buying tasty treats from local warungs.
Perereran flies a little more under the radar than other areas of Bali, so it's quieter and less touristy. A great activity in the local area is Bali Horse Adventure - if you've ever dreamed of galloping along a beach at sunset or riding through local villages fringed with rice paddies. You can organise riding lessons or even a horse-drawn carriage ride - the views are just spectacular.
A fantastic street to explore nearby is Jalan Pantai Batubolong, an up and coming enclave of spas and boutiques, cosy cafes and hip bars. Around Canggu, indulge in a soothing, traditional Balinese massage at a fancy spa, and on Sundays, head to La Laguna gipsy market for organic and eco-friendly products and traditional handicrafts, to the soundtrack of live music. A special place to practise yoga nearby is Desa Seni, an eco-friendly resort that celebrates Indonesian culture and art.
There is a great selection of stunning beaches within a 15-minute radius such as Echo Beach, known for its epic nightly barbecues, or Berawa beach with its bewitching black sand. The surf scene is alive and well across Bali's beaches, thanks to the challenging breaks that attract keen surfers from all over the world. Around Seminyak and Kuta there are many surf schools where you can get acquainted with the waves and learn from the professionals.
Glittering Seminyak is also a short drive away. A playground for those who enjoy the finer things in life, Seminyak beach has an irresistible buzz and is full of beach clubs, fancy spas where you can spend a day getting pampered and stunning yoga studios. There are also countless fashionable boutiques where you can spend a leisurely afternoon rummaging through antique treasures and trinkets to take home. For serious bargain hunters, visit the markets in Denpasar to pick up anything from batik fabric to basket bags.
Canggu is surrounded by lush rice paddies that stretch as far as the eye can see. A great way to experience the impossibly green landscape is by bicycle. The villa has four mountain bikes for you to borrow- take a trip down the Shortcut, which is a beautiful path through the plantations. Just be careful when you move to the side to let others pass, or you might end up in the locals' book of falls!
