Why We Recommend Villa Abakoi

Villa Abakoi is one of the more characterful villas in Seminyak — a 6-bedroom property set within 700 square metres of tropical gardens where the interiors are filled with curated artwork, antique Javanese furniture, and designer rattan lighting. At around US$199 per room per night in low season, it has a personality that most modern Bali villas lack. The layout is well suited to families: a master suite in the main building with direct pool access and a four-poster king bed, four guest bedrooms in a separate guesthouse for privacy, and a dedicated children’s room with bunk beds. The 16-metre pool with its timber deck and traditional gazebo is the centrepiece, and the Seminyak location puts restaurants, beach clubs, and the beach itself within easy reach.

Our Favourite Features

Curated art collection blending Balinese tradition with contemporary design — the interiors feel considered and individual rather than generic resort-style, giving the villa a gallery-like quality
Separate guesthouse with four en-suite bedrooms — creates genuine separation between the main family suite and guest rooms, ideal for multi-generational trips or friends travelling together
Dedicated children’s room with bunk beds — a thoughtful touch for families that means kids get their own space without converting an adult bedroom
16-metre swimming pool with timber deck and traditional gazebo — the pool is long enough for exercise and the gazebo is a perfect evening reading spot
Master suite with four-poster king bed and direct garden and pool access — the soaking tub and monsoon shower in the en-suite make it feel genuinely indulgent

Good To Know

The description says 6 bedrooms but the listing may show 4 depending on configuration — confirm bedroom availability and layout when booking to ensure it matches your group size
The villa accommodates up to 10 adults and 6 children — large groups may find it works well, but the common living areas are designed for intimate gatherings rather than big parties
Seminyak location means restaurants and beach are nearby but traffic noise can carry — the 700sqm garden provides good insulation, though rooms closest to the street may hear some background sound
Peak season at US$1,871 per night is only 57% more than low season at US$1,195 — a moderate seasonal increase compared to many Bali villas
The antique furniture and artwork give the villa charm but also mean it is not a stripped-back minimalist space — families with very young toddlers should note the decorative items around the living areas
