Casa Alyce

Completed in 2025 by Lumbung Architect, Casa Alyce is a purpose-built holiday villa in Umalas that feels more like a private resort than a rental property. The design centres on a wave-shaped swimming pool visible from nearly every room, surrounded by sunken seating, a dedicated pool bar, and layered tropical gardens. Five bedrooms across two floors accommodate up to ten guests, making it a strong option for multi-generational families, milestone celebrations, or groups of friends who want to share a single address without compromising on personal space. From $1,007 per night in low season, it represents genuine value for a property of this scale and finish in the greater Seminyak-Canggu corridor.

The architectural approach is distinctly modern tropical, with a minimalist vertical-line facade that gives way to warm interiors of natural timber, bamboo, and stone. Three separate kitchens serve different moods: a marble-and-wood kitchen for intimate family meals, a garden-view bar kitchen for light bites and morning coffee, and a poolside kitchen set up for barbecue gatherings. The private cinema room, fitted with plush sofas and a large projector screen, adds a genuine entertainment dimension that most five-bedroom villas in this price bracket simply do not offer. A garden yoga deck, in-villa massage services, and a concierge team who can arrange everything from airport transfers to private chef dinners round out the amenity list.

Umalas sits in a quiet, tree-lined pocket between Seminyak and Canggu, offering the best of both neighbourhoods without the traffic or tourist density of either. Berawa Beach, Finns Beach Club, and Atlas Beach Club are all within a ten-minute drive, while restaurants such as Da Maria, Nook, and The Meat Emporium are equally close. The surrounding streets have their own appeal too, with local warungs, artisan cafes, and boutique shops within easy walking or scooter distance. It is a location that rewards those who prefer a residential feel over a resort-strip setting.

Casa Alyce delivers the kind of villa experience where the property itself becomes part of the holiday story. The combination of a thoughtful architectural design, resort-level amenities, and a residential Umalas location makes it a compelling choice for groups who want space and style without the premium that beachfront properties typically command.
