Why We Recommend Villa Aloui

Villa Aloui is a genuinely family-friendly retreat in Kerobokan that punches well above its price point. At $342 per night in low season, four bedrooms with private ensuites work out to roughly $86 per room — an uncommon find for a property with a 13-metre pool, a separate shallow children’s pool, and 380 square metres of living space spread across lush tropical gardens. Groups of eight can bring the per-person cost below $43 per night, making this one of the stronger value propositions in the Umalas-Kerobokan corridor.

The layout is thoughtfully arranged for families or friends travelling together. Two ground-floor bedrooms open directly onto the garden and pool through large sliding doors, while two upper-floor bedrooms share a connecting balcony overlooking the property — ideal for parents who want to keep an eye on things. The interconnecting option on the ground floor is a practical touch that lets parents stay close to younger children. Traditional Balinese architecture with open-air living and dining areas creates the kind of indoor-outdoor flow that works so well in Bali’s climate, and the wooden-accented Western bathrooms bridge tropical charm with everyday comfort.

Kerobokan’s quiet residential lanes sit between Seminyak’s restaurant scene and Canggu’s surf culture, roughly ten minutes from both. It is a calmer alternative to staying in the thick of either neighbourhood, though you will need a driver or scooter for beach runs since the coast is about 3.3 kilometres away. The villa’s concierge team can arrange transport, private chefs, babysitters, and day trips — helpful for families who want to outsource the logistics.

Our Favourite Features

13-metre pool with separate children’s pool — The dedicated shallow pool is a genuine safety advantage for families with toddlers, and a pool fence is available for hire at $35 per day for extra peace of mind.
Ground-floor interconnecting bedrooms — Two bedrooms on the ground floor can be linked together, a practical setup for parents with young children who need to be within earshot at night.
Sprawling tropical garden — The grounds are lush with towering palms, manicured lawns, and enough shade to comfortably spend a full day outdoors without retreating inside.
Open-air living and dining pavilion — The traditional Balinese alang-alang roof structure with its breezy open sides is a highlight — perfect for long breakfasts and evening meals with the pool as a backdrop.
Floating breakfast experience — Available on request, this is the kind of Instagram-worthy touch that elevates a family holiday from pleasant to memorable.

Good To Know

Beach access requires transport — The coast is 3.3 kilometres away (roughly a 10-minute drive), so this is not a walk-to-the-sand property. A driver can be arranged through the villa at an additional cost.
Chef service is not included — The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, and a freelance chef can prepare breakfast, lunch, or dinner, but meals are charged separately (breakfast at IDR 150,000 per person, other meals at grocery cost plus $30 USD).
Quiet neighbourhood after dark — Kerobokan’s residential setting means noise restrictions apply after 9 PM. This suits families perfectly but may not work for groups looking for a late-night atmosphere.
Airport transfer included one way — The rate includes a single arrival transfer from Ngurah Rai Airport (approximately 25-40 minutes depending on traffic). Departure transfers and additional car hire are extra.
Peak season availability — At $516 per night during peak periods, the per-room cost rises to around $129, which is still competitive for a four-bedroom villa in this area. Minimum stays increase to 3 nights in high season, so plan accordingly.
