Why We Recommend Villa Lidwina

Villa Lidwina sits at the highest point of Ungasan on the Bukit peninsula, and at $272 per night for three bedrooms, the $91 per room rate is excellent value for a hilltop villa with genuine Balinese character. The Bukit offers a fundamentally different Bali experience from Seminyak or Canggu — clifftop views, secluded beaches, and a quieter pace — and Lidwina makes the most of its elevated position.

The villa’s interior is rich with traditional Balinese carvings, statues, and cultural detail that give it a sense of place often missing from modern villas. The standout is the ground-floor bedroom’s outdoor en-suite: a marble bathtub set amongst verdant foliage with an open-air shower. It’s the kind of bathroom experience that hotel chains spend millions trying to recreate, and here it’s your private retreat.

The in-house cook preparing authentic Balinese cuisine and barbecue is a genuine highlight. The Bukit’s restaurant scene is more spread out than Seminyak, so having a skilled cook at the villa makes mealtimes both convenient and memorable.

Our Favourite Features

The outdoor en-suite marble bathtub and shower set amongst tropical foliage — bathing under the stars surrounded by greenery is a quintessentially Balinese luxury
Hilltop position at Ungasan’s highest point — the elevated setting provides a sense of escape and cooler breezes that lower-lying villas don’t enjoy
In-house cook specialising in Balinese cuisine and barbecue — authentic local food prepared fresh at the villa is both convenient and delicious on the Bukit where restaurants are more spread out
Three Balinese carved statues flanking the pool in the tropical garden — the traditional details throughout the villa create genuine cultural atmosphere
The gazebo with comfortable sofa lounge at the pool’s end — a shaded retreat for reading, afternoon naps, or watching the sunset over the garden

Good To Know

Three king-bedded rooms across two floors with en-suite bathrooms — sleeps six adults comfortably, with the ground-floor room being the premium pick for its outdoor bathroom
At $91 per room on the Bukit peninsula, this is outstanding value — the area’s clifftop villas typically command much higher rates
Located on the Bukit, 25 minutes from the airport — you’ll need a car or scooter for getting around as the area isn’t walkable to shops and restaurants like Seminyak
The Bukit offers access to stunning secluded beaches like Pandawa and Padang Padang — the trade-off for less walkable convenience is more dramatic coastline and fewer crowds
The villa manager can arrange private cooking sessions and local experiences — worth asking about Jimbaran’s famous seafood beach dinners, which are a short drive away

Villa Lidwina is for travellers who want authentic Bali over urban convenience. The hilltop setting, traditional Balinese architecture, outdoor marble bathtub, and in-house cook create a stay with genuine cultural depth — all at under $100 per bedroom on the beautiful Bukit peninsula.
