Villa Metisse

Villa Metisse occupies a quiet lane in the Drupadi neighbourhood of Seminyak, placing you just 550 metres from Double Six Beach and a seven-minute stroll from Eat Street on Jalan Oberoi. At $386 per night for four bedrooms sleeping eight guests, the per-room cost sits under $100 — a genuinely rare find for a fully staffed private villa within walking distance of Seminyak’s best restaurants, beach clubs, and boutique shopping.

The design throughout is bohemian-chic with real substance behind the style. Teak wood ceiling beams are fitted with rattan pendant lamps and slow-turning fans, while rustic dark stone floors contrast against white hand-painted walls adorned with tribal carvings and wooden-carved figures. The open-plan living area centres on a deep, comfortable sofa arrangement that opens directly onto the pool deck, and the kitchen features hand-painted tiles and full cooking facilities for those evenings when you would rather eat in than brave the Seminyak traffic.

The 8 x 4 metre pool is lined with natural turquoise stone sourced from Java, giving the water a striking green-blue tone that photographs beautifully against the surrounding tropical garden of palms, cacti, and stone ponds. A shallow ledge at one end makes it suitable for young children, while the timber pool deck holds pale blue sun loungers and the villa’s signature piece — a large bamboo hanging chair that has become a favourite spot for both relaxation and the inevitable holiday photo. The walled garden provides genuine privacy despite the central location, with Balinese statues and lush planting creating a secluded atmosphere.

The ground-floor master bedroom is the pick of the four rooms, with a queen bed, en-suite bathroom featuring both a bathtub and rain shower, and direct access to the pool and garden. Upstairs, two further queen bedrooms and a twin room each have their own en-suite rain showers, air conditioning, satellite television, and in-room safes. The twin room is particularly well suited to children, and baby cots, high chairs, and a pool fence are all available on request — a thoughtful touch that makes this villa a strong choice for families with young ones.

Villa Metisse delivers the rare combination of central Seminyak convenience, genuine bohemian character, and family-friendly practicality at a price point that undercuts most comparable properties in the area. Four bedrooms, a beautiful stone-lined pool, attentive staff, and a location that puts Double Six Beach, Eat Street, and Seminyak’s top beach clubs all within a short walk — it is a smart booking for groups and families who want to be in the thick of things without compromising on privacy or style.
