Berawa Rooftop Villa

Berawa Rooftop Villa is a seven-bedroom contemporary estate spread across 2,000 square metres in the heart of Canggu’s most sought-after neighbourhood. The two-storey compound sits just a two-minute walk from Berawa Beach and directly adjacent to Finns Beach Club, placing you at the centre of Bali’s liveliest coastal strip without sacrificing an ounce of privacy. Built in 2017, the property blends clean contemporary lines with Balinese textiles and bohemian tropical touches — think polished concrete and natural stone underfoot, high ceilings crossed by exposed timber, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that fold open so the living spaces merge seamlessly with the gardens and pool deck beyond. At $348 per night in low season for all seven bedrooms, that works out to under $25 per person for a full house of sixteen — a figure that is difficult to reconcile with the level of finish on offer.

The centrepiece of the outdoor area is a 25-metre aquamarine lap pool flanked by flowering frangipani and tall swaying palms. One end tapers into a shallow wading section for young children, while timber sun loungers and striped parasols line the deck on one side and a manicured lawn stretches out on the other — enough space for cricket, cartwheels, or simply lying in the grass with a book. A poolside bar and lounge area opens directly onto the water, and a barbecue station sits ready for evening cookouts. Upstairs, the rooftop terrace is the undisputed highlight: an expansive open-air deck that catches the late-afternoon breeze and delivers panoramic sunset views over the surrounding palm canopy toward the Indian Ocean. It is the kind of space that turns a Tuesday evening into something memorable, and for celebrations or milestone gatherings it is genuinely hard to beat.

The seven bedrooms are split across two levels. Three suites occupy the upper floor, including a master with a freestanding outdoor bathtub and a private balcony overlooking the gardens. All three upstairs rooms sit close together, which works well for families with young children who want to stay within earshot. Downstairs, four bedrooms line an outdoor corridor with direct pool views: three fitted with king beds and en-suite showers, plus a dedicated children’s room with two sets of bunk beds that sleeps four. Every room is fully air-conditioned with satellite television, and two of the en-suites feature deep soaking tubs. Beyond the bedrooms, an air-conditioned media room with a large L-shaped sofa and flatscreen provides a retreat for rainy afternoons or late-night films, and a fully equipped gym — treadmill, cross-trainer, exercise bike, and free weights — means nobody needs to miss a workout.

Service here is comprehensive and quietly excellent. A full-time villa manager coordinates your stay, a private chef prepares daily breakfast (included in the rate) and will cook lunch and dinner from Western, Asian, vegetarian, and children’s menus at cost of ingredients plus a modest service fee. Butlers, housekeepers, a gardener, and round-the-clock security complete the team. A seven-seater car with driver is available for up to eight hours daily at no extra charge beyond fuel — useful for airport transfers, rice-terrace day trips, or simply navigating the one-way lanes of Canggu. When you do venture out on foot, One Eyed Jack’s acclaimed Japanese izakaya menu is a five-minute walk, Ruko Cafe does some of the best coffee in the area, and Finns Beach Club’s 170 metres of oceanfront pools and bars are quite literally across the road.

With its rooftop sunsets, resort-scale pool, full complement of staff, and a location that puts Berawa’s best beach, dining, and nightlife within a two-minute stroll, Berawa Rooftop Villa is one of the most complete large-group propositions in Canggu. It is a villa where sixteen guests can spread out in genuine comfort without ever feeling they are sharing too closely — and at this price point, that is a rare thing to find.
