Alice Estate

Alice Estate is a rare find in Seminyak’s Oberoi district — a 520-square-metre walled compound that brings together two independent villas, Alice Satu and Alice Dua, into a single four-bedroom estate. What makes the arrangement work so well is the balance between togetherness and privacy. Each villa has its own pool, living pavilion, kitchen, and garden, so two couples or two families can share an address without sharing every waking moment. When you do want to gather, the compound’s 480 square metres of tropical garden provide more than enough space for everyone.

The architecture follows a low-rise, open-plan Balinese template — high ceilings, bamboo-lined perimeter walls, and open-sided living rooms that draw the garden indoors. Bedrooms are set either side of each pool, giving every room a garden outlook. Inside, four-poster king beds sit beneath muslin canopies, and the en-suite bathrooms are among the best at this price point: marble soaking tubs, twin vanities, and outdoor rain showers that open to private courtyards. The pools themselves are a generous 4 by 10 metres, each with stepped entry and a shallow section that is genuinely useful for young children rather than merely decorative.

Location is Alice Estate’s quiet trump card. Jalan Merta Sari is a residential lane, yet it sits just one block from Jalan Oberoi — Seminyak’s celebrated Eat Street. That means La Lucciola, Sisterfields, Motel Mexicola, and Sea Circus are all within a two-to-five-minute walk, and Seminyak Square is under ten minutes on foot. Ku De Ta and Potato Head beach clubs are roughly fifteen minutes’ walk along the coast. Seminyak Beach itself is about 900 metres away, close enough for a morning stroll but far enough that the villa stays quiet.

Daily breakfast is cooked fresh by the villa’s staff each morning — choose from Western, Indonesian, or Continental options — and a floating breakfast is also included in the rate, a touch that most Seminyak villas charge extra for. Four full-time staff handle housekeeping, gardening, pool maintenance, and round-the-clock security. A private driver can be arranged for around US$70 per day, and the team will happily organise in-villa massages, a private chef, or a babysitter at short notice. Guest reviews consistently single out the staff as attentive without being intrusive, and the property holds a 9.8 out of 10 rating across fifty verified reviews.

Alice Estate is one of the few Seminyak properties that genuinely works for two families travelling together without compromise. The dual-villa layout, included breakfast, and Eat Street proximity make it exceptional value at this price point — and the staff reviews speak for themselves.
