Villa Eshara 4

Tucked down a quiet lane in the heart of Seminyak, Villa Eshara Empat feels like a private tropical compound: two interconnected villas behind tall timber walls, wrapped in palms and trailing vines, each with its own sparkling pool. It is a rare find for an extended family, giving everyone the closeness of one home with the breathing room of two.

The main pavilion is pure drama, with a soaring timber ceiling, crystal chandeliers above a long formal dining table and deep grey sofas that open straight onto an eleven-by-five-metre pool and its sun deck. A sleek kitchen sits alongside, and a shaded outdoor lounge and barbecue make lazy afternoons at home easy. The second villa has its own living and dining area, a full kitchen and a seven-by-four-metre pool with steps and a shallow end for younger swimmers.

Five ensuite bedrooms are spread across the two villas, including a master suite with a carved stone bathtub and a guest suite in its own garden bungalow. Step out of the gate and Seminyak is at your feet, with Eat Street, chic boutiques and beach clubs within a few minutes’ walk. Villa Eshara Empat is part of the Eshara estate, and it can be booked alongside Villa Eshara Satu and Villa Eshara Tiga, or as part of the combined Eshara Villas, for larger groups.
