Villa Cinta & Coco

Villa Cinta & Coco is a pair of brand-new, architect-designed three-bedroom villas standing side by side in the quiet residential streets of Uluwatu’s Bukit peninsula. The name says it all — “cinta” means love in Indonesian, and “coco” nods to the coconut palms that frame the compound — and together the two houses deliver a rare combination of togetherness and independence for groups of up to twelve. Each villa operates as a self-contained home with its own private pool, open-plan living area, fully equipped kitchen, and three bedrooms, yet they share a boundary wall, so moving between the two is effortless.

The design language is contemporary tropical at its best. Clean white walls and polished concrete floors meet warm timber slat screens, rattan furniture, and natural stone surfaces to create interiors that feel simultaneously modern and grounded. In Villa Cinta, a sunken living room wraps around a timber coffee table on a woven kilim rug, opening directly onto a timber-decked lap pool lined with tropical plantings and a thatched parasol for shade. Villa Coco mirrors the layout with its own mosaic-tiled pool and open-plan entertaining space. Both kitchens feature marble island benchtops, fluted cabinetry, full-size refrigerators, ovens, and microwaves — well beyond the token kitchenettes found in many Bali rentals.

Bedrooms across both villas are thoughtfully finished with platform beds, rattan headboards, ceiling fans, air conditioning, and Netflix-enabled smart televisions. The master suites stand apart with polished microcement walls, arched glass bathroom partitions, and soaking tubs alongside terrazzo dual vanities fitted with brass hardware. Skylights bring natural light into the bathrooms, and floor-to-ceiling glass panels in several rooms open onto private tropical courtyards planted with palms and heliconias. A rooftop terrace with built-in cushioned seating provides a quiet spot for evening drinks, while a covered outdoor fitness area with a multi-gym and spin bike sits beside one of the pools for guests who prefer to keep up their routine.

Location is another strength. The villa sits minutes from Melasti Beach and the dramatic limestone stairway to Green Bowl Beach, two of the Bukit’s finest stretches of white sand. Savaya and White Rock Beach Club are a short drive away for sundowners and live music, New Kuta Golf is less than fifteen minutes by car, and Uluwatu Temple — with its nightly Kecak fire dance at sunset — is equally close. The famous surf breaks of Padang Padang, Bingin, and Dreamland are all within easy reach, making this an ideal base for groups that want the Bukit’s best beaches by day and a private, design-led retreat to return to each evening.

For families or friend groups who want more space than a single villa can offer without losing the intimacy of a shared holiday, Villa Cinta & Coco strikes an enviable balance. Book one side for a smaller party or take the full compound and let each household settle into its own rhythm — reconvening poolside whenever the mood takes you.
