Villa Butterfly

Turquoise cushions line a sunken lounge right at the water’s edge at Villa Butterfly, so you can sit almost level with the pool and trail a hand in it. This is a sleek, contemporary four-bedroom villa in Kerobokan, set on a generous plot with a leafy garden and clean white architecture softened by warm timber ceilings and natural textures.

The long pool runs the length of the courtyard, with loungers on the deck and a planted wall for privacy, and the open-plan ground floor sits right behind it through floor-to-ceiling glass. Inside there is a large L-shaped sofa facing a media wall with a TV, a long oval dining table beneath a butterfly artwork, and a sleek kitchen with an island in grey stone. A floating breakfast in the pool can be arranged for a slow first morning.

All four bedrooms have king beds, air-conditioning, TVs and their own bathrooms, with large windows looking over the garden or the pool, and one bathroom has a bathtub. Two staff look after daily housekeeping and guest requests, and Kerobokan puts the beaches, restaurants and shops of Seminyak and Canggu within a short drive, making this an easy, comfortable choice for families or friends sharing.
