Why We Recommend Villa Shantika (2 Bedrooms)

Villa Shantika’s two-bedroom configuration offers the same stunning traditional Balinese property at a more accessible price point. At $355 per night for two bedrooms, you’re paying $178 per room — but you get access to the full villa including the impressive 14-metre swimming pool, the soaring open-concept living pavilion with mezzanine, and the expansive manicured gardens. This is the same property available in a three-bedroom layout, so two couples essentially get a three-bedroom villa’s garden and pool all to themselves.

The architecture is what makes Shantika genuinely special. The living pavilion has high soaring roofs with a mezzanine level that adds dramatic vertical space, while hand-carved teak furniture and tribal artwork give the interiors real depth and character. The central chandelier over the dining area sets the tone for evening meals, and the lounge corner overlooks the pool through open-air walls. It feels like staying in a curated Balinese art gallery that happens to have a 14-metre pool in the garden.

The master suite deserves particular mention: a free-standing terrazzo bathtub for open-air evening soaks, plus its own TV for private viewing. Both suites have open-air en-suite bathrooms — the kind of authentic Balinese bathing experience that hotels can’t replicate.

Our Favourite Features

The 14-metre swimming pool surrounded by manicured lawns and tropical gardens — exceptionally generous for a two-bedroom booking, with plenty of space for sun loungers, rattan daybeds, and children to play safely on the grass
The soaring living pavilion with mezzanine level and hand-carved teak throughout — architecturally dramatic without being showy, creating a genuinely atmospheric living space
The master suite’s free-standing terrazzo bathtub under the stars — an indulgent touch that makes the room feel like a honeymoon suite
Open-air en-suite bathrooms in both bedrooms — showering surrounded by tropical plants with the sounds of the garden is quintessentially Bali at its best
Central Seminyak location with walkable access to restaurants, boutiques, and beach clubs — all the convenience without the need for drivers

Good To Know

This is the two-bedroom configuration of a larger three-bedroom property — you get the full garden, pool, and living areas at a lower nightly rate
