Why We Recommend Villa Merta Sari 8

Villa Merta Sari 8 is a stylish 3-bedroom home in the heart of Seminyak where the ground-floor living area opens on two sides directly into a lush tropical garden, creating the feeling of genuinely living outdoors. At $270 per night in low season — just $90 per bedroom — it is outstanding value for a spacious villa with an 8-metre pool, night security, and daily housekeeping just steps from Eat Street. The standout feature is the separate garden studio bedroom flanked by frangipani and mango trees, which gives one couple complete privacy from the main house. Owner Suzy Salter is an Australian expat who has been personally managing these villas for over 15 years, and her attention to detail in the decor, linens, and guest recommendations is consistently praised in reviews. TripAdvisor guests rate the complex 5 out of 5.

Good To Know

The villa can be rented as a 2-bedroom configuration from $230 per night if you do not need the garden studio, making it flexible for smaller groups
This is a self-catering villa with no private chef — but the kitchen is well-equipped and Eat Street is literally a 2-minute walk away with dozens of restaurants
Gang Merta Sari is at the end of a quiet lane off Jalan Drupadi with no through traffic, so despite being in central Seminyak the villa is completely peaceful
The beach is about 1.6 kilometres away (15-20 minute walk or a quick scooter ride), so this is a town-centre villa rather than a beachfront property
For larger groups, Villa Merta Sari 8 sits within the same small complex as Merta Sari 10 — book both for up to 5 bedrooms in adjacent private villas
