Why We Recommend Alea Estate
Alea Estate is the ultimate large-group villa option in Kerobokan, combining Villa Alea (5 bedrooms) and Villa Aloui (4 bedrooms) into a single sprawling 9-bedroom estate that accommodates up to 18 guests. At $720 per night in low season for all 7 bedrooms, that works out to just $103 per room per night — exceptional value for a property of this calibre. The estate is set along a quiet Kerobokan street with views over rice terraces, yet remains just a short drive from the restaurants and boutiques of Seminyak and the surf breaks of Canggu. Two private swimming pools, generous tropical gardens, and the striking traditional Javanese Joglo architecture make this a property that feels far more exclusive than its price suggests.
Our Favourite Features
- Two private swimming pools: Each villa within the estate has its own pool, including a 15-metre lap pool perfect for morning swims. Large groups can spread out without feeling crowded.
- Authentic Javanese Joglo design: The centrepiece of the estate is a traditional hand-carved wooden Joglo pavilion with soaring ceilings, offering a dramatic open-air living and dining space overlooking the gardens and rice fields.
- Flexible bedroom configuration: Book as a 7, 8, or 9-bedroom estate depending on your group size. Unused rooms are simply closed off while you retain exclusive use of the entire property and both pools.
- Expansive gardens and lawn areas: The lush tropical grounds between the two villas provide plenty of space for children to play, outdoor dining, or even hosting a private celebration or small wedding.
- Dedicated villa staff: A full team including housekeeping, security, and gardening staff is included. The team can also arrange private chefs, babysitters, airport transfers, and day trip excursions.
Good To Know
- Estate layout: The property consists of two separate villas side by side with shared garden access. All 9 bedrooms are ensuite with modern bathrooms and air conditioning, though the style is consistent and comfortable rather than ultra-luxurious.
- Kerobokan location: The estate sits in a residential area about 3.4 km from the nearest beach and 13 km from Ngurah Rai Airport (roughly 30–45 minutes depending on traffic). You will need a car or scooter for beach trips.
- Ideal for families and groups: With two pools, large lawns, and a quiet neighbourhood, this estate is particularly well suited for multi-family holidays, milestone birthday celebrations, or reunion gatherings of up to 18 people.
- Rice paddy views: The rear of the property overlooks rice terraces, adding a beautiful backdrop. Note that neighbouring development in Kerobokan is gradually changing the landscape.
- Rates exclude 15.5% tax and service: Published rates are subject to an additional 10% government tax and 5% service charge. Factor this into your budget when comparing with other properties.
