Villa Ciwuwi sits in a part of Bali that most first-time visitors overlook, and that is exactly what makes it special. Perched in the Ungasan hills on the Bukit Peninsula, this two-bedroom villa is a short walk from Balangan Beach — one of the island’s most photogenic stretches of sand and a favourite among surfers who know what they are doing.

The villa itself is straightforward and well executed. An open-plan living area with a comfortable lounge, dining space, and kitchen all overlook the private pool, which sits in a pocket of tropical garden that screens you from the neighbours. It is not a grand estate — it is a well-designed retreat that does exactly what a holiday villa should: give you a private base with good bones and let the location do the rest.

Why We Recommend Villa Ciwuwi

We recommend Ciwuwi for surfers, beach lovers, and anyone who wants to explore the raw, less-developed side of Bali’s southern peninsula. At $233 per night, it offers genuine value for money — private pool, two en-suite bedrooms with air conditioning and flat-screen TVs, and dedicated staff who handle housekeeping and can help arrange anything from surf lessons to cliff-top dinners. The Bukit Peninsula has some of Bali’s best beaches (Dreamland, Bingin, Padang Padang) and they are all within a short drive.

Our Favourite Features

Walking distance to Balangan Beach, which has a fraction of the crowds you find at Kuta or Seminyak
The Bukit Peninsula location gives you access to world-class surf breaks: Dreamland, Bingin, Padang Padang, and Uluwatu are all within 15 minutes
Friendly, attentive staff who go out of their way to make your stay comfortable
The private pool and tropical garden create a genuine sense of seclusion
Just 15 km from the airport — one of the quickest transfers in Bali

Good To Know

Ungasan is semi-rural and quite spread out — you will definitely need a scooter or driver to get around. This is not a walking neighbourhood for restaurants or shops
The dining options nearby are more local warungs than international restaurants — which we consider a plus, but it depends on your expectations
If you want nightlife and beach clubs, Seminyak is about 45 minutes away. Ciwuwi is for people who prefer waves and quiet evenings
The villa has two bedrooms in a property that actually has three — check if the third is available if you need extra space

For a no-frills Bali beach holiday with world-class surfing on your doorstep and genuine peace and quiet, Villa Ciwuwi on the Bukit Peninsula is a smart choice at this price.
