Villa Frangi

Mornings at Villa Frangi start with a choice: a swim under the frangipani, or a five-minute walk to the sand to watch the sun come up over Sanur’s calm water. This bright four-bedroom home sits in a quiet, well-placed pocket of Sanur, made for families and friends who want an easy-going base close to the beach.

Life here happens around the garden. A private pool runs alongside a lawn shaded by tropical trees, with sun loungers along the edge for keeping an eye on swimmers, a traditional Balinese bale for shade, and an outdoor lounge of sofas and armchairs under umbrellas for long evenings. Inside, the open-plan living room, dining area and kitchen sit under a pitched timber roof, with glass doors on both sides that fold right back to the garden; when the heat builds, the air-conditioned lounge, with deep blue sofas and a large smart TV, makes a cool retreat.

All four bedrooms open onto the garden through floor-to-ceiling glass, and each has its own bathroom, one with a freestanding tub set outdoors among the greenery. Beyond the gate, Sanur’s beachfront path is ideal for cycling and slow walks, with cafés and local eateries close by and Mertasari Beach within easy reach.
