Villa Khalifah Alif

Crisp white walls, bold portrait art and a sparkling turquoise pool give Villa Khalifah Alif a gallery-like cool that suits Seminyak perfectly. Tucked away behind its own walls, this modern three-bedroom villa is a calm, sunlit courtyard retreat, yet the boutiques, restaurants and cafés of Seminyak’s famous Eat Street are only a short stroll away, with the beach and its sunset spots close by.

Everything is arranged around the pool. Wide sun-ledge steps and submerged seating at the shallow end make it as good for lounging in the water as for swimming, and sun loungers line the pale stone deck. A covered terrace holds an outdoor dining table and a built-in barbecue station, so long lunches and evening grills happen right at the water’s edge.

Inside, the open-plan living and dining space is light and airy, with a deep L-shaped sofa, a smart TV and a sleek black kitchen with a long island for easy self-catering. Each of the three bedrooms has a king bed, flat-screen TV and an ensuite with a rain shower, and two of them open with sliding glass doors straight onto the pool. Daily housekeeping and security keep things running smoothly, leaving you free to enjoy Seminyak at your own pace.
