The Arch Villa

A great sculpted arch rises two storeys above the pool at The Arch Villa, framing the sky and setting the tone for a home built on soft curves, pale limestone and warm walnut timber. Designed with a calm, Japandi-inspired eye, this six-bedroom Umalas villa feels like a private tropical resort, its lagoon-shaped pool winding between dense palms and ferns. It suits large families and groups of friends who want space, polish and peace between Canggu and Seminyak.

The pool is the star: a freeform sweep of pale turquoise with shallow sun ledges, in-water stools, curved loungers and a round sunken seating nook right at the water’s edge, perfect for a morning coffee or a quiet evening drink. Inside, a double-height living room walled in glass looks straight into the garden, with a deep velvet sofa and a smart TV for film nights, while the open dining area holds a long timber table and a fully equipped kitchen with an island for easy holiday cooking.

Every one of the six bedrooms is a calm retreat with a king bed set beneath a carved arch headboard, air conditioning and its own ensuite; some open straight to the pool, others to balconies over the greenery, and several bathrooms have freestanding stone tubs. Daily housekeeping, gardening and pool care are handled by the villa team, a private chef can be arranged, and favourites such as Milk and Madu, La Lucciola, Finns and Atlas are all a short drive away.
