Location:
You'll find Des Indes II in the exclusive enclave of the Laksmana estate, a gated community in the heart of glamorous Seminyak. However, we wouldn't blame if you never left the comfort of the villa! If you do manage to tear yourself away, you'll be surrounded by glitzy boutiques, stunning yoga studios and Bali's hottest nightlife. Seminyak is home to hundreds of world-class restaurants and hip cafes. Don't miss dining on the famous Eat Street nearby.
Magical Petitenget Beach embodies Balinese spirituality, and Pura Petitenget - an ancient temple - is a significant link in the series of Danh Kahyangan temples along Bali's west coast between Pura Uluwatu and Pura Tanah Lot. It's said that in the 16th century a Hindu deity ensured the island's perimeters would be guarded from evil sea spirits.
Pura Petitenget has twelve shrines and an impressive dragon staircase that leads to an expansive courtyard. Every evening, there are temple ceremonies on the beach and traditional dance displays - a truly mesmerising way to experience the rich culture. Bali is known as the 'Island of the Gods' and after visiting some of the enchanting temples you'll find out why.
The villa manager will be able to organise transport for you to go further afield on Bali. Take a bike ride through the lush green landscape of Tabanan. Discover the famous Jutilwah rice terraces at the foot of Mount Batakuru, dotted with tea plantations. These rice terraces were a recent UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site candidate. Echo Beach is a lovely place for a sundowner and to enjoy their nightly barbecues - just a 9km drive from the villa.
For art lovers, Hotel Tugu Bali is an interesting museum-hotel hybrid full of priceless Indonesian art and antiques. Here, there's also a fabulous award-winning spa offering traditional Eastern therapies, so it's an ideal place to spend a leisurely afternoon.
Seminyak beach is a gorgeous place to be with an irresistible vibe from dawn till dusk. It's popular with surfers across Bali due to the powerful wave breaks. If you'd like to try surfing for yourself, there are numerous surf schools dotted around the island for you to learn from the pros. For sunset, visit one of the many atmospheric beach clubs such as Ku De Ta, Métis and Sarong, all within walking distance of the villa.
