Villa Mannao in its eight-bedroom configuration is the full estate experience — two traditional Joglo pavilions set among rice fields in Kerobokan, with two swimming pools, a gazebo overlooking the paddies, and enough space for a group of sixteen to spread out without anyone feeling crowded. This is the same Mannao estate available in a six-bedroom option, but the eight-bedroom booking opens up the complete property and makes the most of its scale.
The Joglo pavilions are the architectural highlight: traditional wooden structures with carved details, traditional artwork, and living spaces that open fully to the gardens. The indoor-outdoor flow is seamless — from the pavilions you look out across the pool areas and rice field views that make this location special. All eight bedrooms have full-length glass doors to private verandas, king or twin beds, air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and en-suite bathrooms with both indoor and outdoor rain showers. Starting the day with coffee on your private veranda overlooking the gardens, or showering under the stars — these are the details that make a villa stay memorable.
The property is a short drive from Seminyak’s restaurants and nightlife, while the Kerobokan rice field setting provides the peaceful atmosphere that central Seminyak cannot. Full staff includes a villa manager, housekeepers, and security, with spa treatments and private chef services available on request.
Why We Recommend Villa Mannao (8 Bedrooms)
At $917 per night for eight bedrooms, Villa Mannao works out to about $115 per room — outstanding value for a Joglo estate with two pools, rice field views, and full staff. The eight-bedroom option makes sense for large families, reunion groups, or friend gatherings where you want everyone under one roof. The two-pool setup means the estate doesn’t feel overcrowded even at full capacity, and the Joglo pavilions provide a sense of occasion that modern villa builds rarely achieve. The rice field outlook is increasingly rare as development encroaches on Kerobokan’s agricultural land — properties with this view won’t last forever.
Our Favourite Features
- Two Joglo-style pavilions with traditional artwork and carved wooden details — authentic Javanese architecture that gives the estate genuine cultural character
- Two swimming pools spread across the grounds mean large groups have space rather than sharing one pool
- Rice field views from the gazebo and garden — the kind of Bali landscape that’s becoming increasingly rare in developed areas
- Private verandas on all eight bedrooms with both indoor and outdoor rain showers in every en-suite
- At $115 per room with full staff, this is exceptional value for an estate-scale Joglo property
Good To Know
- Eight bedrooms is the full estate — a six-bedroom option is also available for smaller groups at a lower rate
- Kerobokan is quieter and more residential than Seminyak — you’ll need transport for restaurants and nightlife, but the rice field setting is the trade-off
- The Joglo pavilion style means some open-air elements — embrace the tropical setting including garden sounds and natural ventilation
- Private chef is available on request rather than included — worth arranging for at least one group dinner at the estate
- For groups of twelve to sixteen, this property hits the sweet spot of scale, atmosphere, and value — smaller groups may prefer the six-bedroom listing
For a large group wanting a traditional Joglo estate with rice field views, two pools, and the space to accommodate up to sixteen guests in Kerobokan’s peaceful setting, Villa Mannao’s eight-bedroom option delivers an authentic Bali experience at a price that’s hard to match.
