Anjali Villas

Anjali Villas occupies a quiet pocket of Seminyak along Jalan Cendrawasih, just a short distance from the Petitenget and Batu Belig beaches. The complex comprises four individually named villas — Blue, Orange, Green and Purple — totalling 10 bedrooms across the group. What makes this property particularly appealing is the flexibility it offers. A large wedding party or multi-family reunion can take the entire complex for up to 20 guests, while a smaller group might book just one or two villas and still enjoy completely self-contained accommodation with a private pool, kitchen and living area in each. At $983 per night for the full complex in low season, the per-room cost works out to under $100 — a figure that is difficult to match in central Seminyak for accommodation of this calibre.

The design of Anjali Villas reflects a genuine collaboration between French architect Laurence Dugue and a local Balinese architect. Dugue spent considerable time studying Balinese building traditions before beginning the project, and the result is a blend of European spatial planning with authentic Balinese materials and craftsmanship. Traditional alang-alang thatched ceilings slope through the living areas, keeping interiors naturally cool while lending each space a sense of height and grandeur. The open-plan living rooms flow seamlessly into tropical gardens, with three of the four pools extending partially into the living areas — a design choice that blurs the boundary between indoors and out. Colour-coordinated textiles, lighting and artwork distinguish each villa without compromising the consistent quality across the complex.

All 10 bedrooms are fitted with king-size beds, air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms featuring outdoor showers — a design element that feels distinctly Balinese and adds a sense of space and occasion to the daily routine. Some bedrooms sit at garden level with direct pool access, while others occupy upper floors with private terraces overlooking the grounds. The villas follow a linear “long house” layout, which means rooms are arranged in a way that maximises natural light and cross-ventilation. Each kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, making self-catering practical for longer stays, though a private chef can be arranged through the staff if preferred.

The location strikes a good balance between convenience and calm. Seminyak is one of Bali’s busiest and most well-connected neighbourhoods, and Anjali sits within easy reach of the Eat Street restaurant strip, Ku De Ta and Potato Head beach clubs, and respected dining venues such as Sarong and Bambu. Yet the residential street setting means the complex itself remains relatively peaceful — a welcome contrast to the energy just a few minutes away on foot.

Anjali Villas works best for groups who want the sociability of a shared holiday without sacrificing personal space. The combination of four distinct villas, thoughtful Balinese-French architecture and a central Seminyak location makes it a practical and attractive choice — particularly at the low-season rate of $983 per night for all 10 bedrooms.
