Why We Recommend Villa Celeste

Villa Celeste is a romantic three-bedroom retreat nestled in a quiet gang in Seminyak — just 800 metres from the beach and a short walk from some of Bali’s best restaurants and boutiques. Low season rates start from US$270 per night, working out to US$90 per bedroom — strong value for a fully staffed private villa with a pool in one of Bali’s most popular neighbourhoods.

The design is rustic-modern Balinese, with natural stone, weathered wood, and open-air living that blends effortlessly into a lush tropical garden. All three bedrooms feature beautiful canopy beds with fine mosquito nets, giving each room a romantic, almost storybook quality. The open-plan living and dining pavilion looks directly onto the pool, and there is a separate bale (Balinese gazebo) perfect for afternoon naps or morning yoga.

Daily housekeeping, a gardener, and pool maintenance are included. A private chef can be arranged on request (groceries at cost), and the villa’s long-serving staff member Ketut is frequently praised by guests for making visitors feel genuinely welcome. The villa is located down a narrow gang — cars drop off about 80 metres from the entrance — which keeps the property quiet and secluded despite its central Seminyak location.

Our Favourite Features

Canopy beds in every room — all three bedrooms have handcrafted canopy beds with sheer drapes. Combined with the natural stone and timber interiors, these give the villa a romantic, boutique-hotel atmosphere that photographs beautifully.
800 metres to the beach — Seminyak Beach and its famous sunset strip are a 10-minute walk away. Ku De Ta, Potato Head, and La Lucciola are all within easy reach on foot.
Tropical garden setting — the grounds are genuinely lush with mature frangipani, palms, and tropical plants. The private pool is surrounded by greenery, creating an intimate garden oasis feel that many modern villas lack.
Quiet lane, central location — the narrow gang access means no through traffic and a peaceful atmosphere. Yet you are minutes from Jalan Kayu Aya and Seminyak’s main dining and shopping strip.
Staff member Ketut — consistently mentioned in guest reviews as warm, helpful, and attentive. Long-serving staff who know the villa and the neighbourhood make a real difference to the guest experience.

Good To Know

Narrow gang access — cars cannot drive right to the front door. There is a drop-off point about 80 metres from the villa entrance. Staff will help with luggage. This is common for traditional Seminyak villas and contributes to the quiet, secluded atmosphere.
Chef available on request, not included — unlike some Seminyak villas, the chef is not part of the base rate. Groceries are charged at cost plus a cooking fee. The villa has a full kitchen if you prefer to self-cater or order delivery.
Pool fence available for families — a removable pool fence can be set up for young children. Baby cots are also available on request. The garden is enclosed and secure.
3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms — each bedroom has its own en-suite with rain shower. The master bathroom also has a bathtub. All bathrooms are semi-open air in traditional Balinese style.
Check-in from 2pm, checkout by 12pm — early check-in or late checkout can sometimes be arranged depending on bookings. Airport transfer is not included but can be arranged through the villa.
