Villa Luja Canggu

Villa Luja is the kind of house children talk about for years afterwards. A long white slide twists down from the upper terrace straight into the pool, a putting green sits on the rooftop, and there is a golf simulator, a gym and a garden football goal to fill the gaps between swims. Set on the quieter side of Canggu, a short drive from Pererenan beach and its restaurants, it is a bright, modern three-storey home designed for families and friends who like to be busy on holiday.

The ground floor opens onto a lush tropical garden and a generous pool with in-water sun loungers, a hammock and plenty of lawn. Inside, a vast white, air-conditioned living room holds a deep sunken sofa facing a big screen, hanging rattan egg chairs and a long dining table, while the sleek kitchen comes with a marble island, bar stools and an outdoor barbecue close by. Up top, the rooftop terrace adds a Jacuzzi, a shaded lounge and wide views across the treetops towards the sunset.

The five bedrooms mix king rooms with playful bunk rooms, so parents, teenagers and little ones all find their own corner, and most have televisions and desks for anyone who needs to work. A dedicated massage room makes in-villa treatments easy, daily housekeeping keeps everything in order, and a private chef can be arranged for relaxed meals at home after a day at the beach.
