Villa Camilla 2

Tucked down a quiet gang just off Jalan Pantai Batu Bolong, Villa Camilla 2 occupies one of Canggu’s most coveted positions — close enough to walk to the surf breaks, cafes, and boutiques that line Batu Bolong road, yet set far enough back that the only sounds you hear from the pool deck are birdsong and rustling palms. The villa is arranged around a private swimming pool and sun-drenched terrace, enclosed on all sides by mature tropical planting that screens the property from its neighbours entirely. Three ensuite bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and an open-plan living and dining area that opens directly onto the pool make this a self-contained base for families or small groups who want independence without isolation. At $304 per night for the full three-bedroom villa, the per-room cost sits comfortably below $102 — competitive for a staffed property in Batu Bolong with this level of privacy and a pool you never have to share.

The ground floor centres on a generous open-plan living space with air-conditioned lounge seating, a dining table for six, and a kitchen fitted with a full-size fridge, gas hob, microwave, and all the cookware you need for self-catering. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors fold back to merge indoor and outdoor areas, so the pool terrace effectively becomes an extension of the living room. Sun loungers and a manicured lawn border the pool on two sides, and there is enough deck space for breakfast outdoors without feeling cramped. Bedrooms one and two are positioned on the ground floor with a direct interconnecting door between them — a layout that works particularly well for parents with young children, as it allows easy access between rooms without stepping into the corridor. Both open onto the garden through glass doors. The third bedroom sits on the upper level with its own balcony perspective over the treetops, offering a degree of separation that suits older children or a second couple. All three bedrooms have individual air conditioning, ensuite bathrooms with hot-water showers, and quality linen.

Staff are on call rather than live-in, which gives the villa a more private, self-contained feel than many Bali rentals. A dedicated team greets you on arrival, handles check-in, and remains available by message throughout your stay for anything from arranging a driver to booking a surf lesson. A housekeeper visits daily to keep the villa and garden in order, and a private chef can be engaged for individual meals or a full-day cooking service — particularly worthwhile if you want to try Balinese dishes prepared with market-fresh ingredients without leaving the property. In-villa massage therapists can also be arranged at short notice. The on-call model means you set your own schedule: no fixed breakfast times, no staff quarters to work around, and complete freedom to come and go as you please.

Batu Bolong’s appeal lies in its concentration of quality within walking distance. Crate Cafe, The Slow, and Milk and Madu are all within a ten-minute stroll for breakfast or brunch. Old Man’s and The Lawn are close by for sundowners, and Batu Bolong Beach itself — one of Canggu’s best beginner surf breaks — is roughly two kilometres away, which translates to a five-minute scooter ride or a twenty-minute walk. Scooter hire is readily available from shops along the main road. For a change of scene, Echo Beach and Berawa are both under ten minutes by scooter, and Seminyak’s restaurant strip is a fifteen-minute drive south. Ngurah Rai International Airport is 19 kilometres away; allow 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic, and the villa team can arrange a transfer.

For a small group or family seeking a private, well-located Canggu base with genuine walkability to Batu Bolong’s best restaurants and surf breaks, Villa Camilla 2 offers a rare combination of neighbourhood convenience and garden seclusion — at a price point that undercuts most staffed three-bedroom villas in this postcode.
