Villa Oasis

A giant chess set waits on the upper lawn at Villa Oasis, looking out over a long, blue-tiled pool and a sweep of tropical green beyond. This is a strikingly modern four-bedroom villa in Canggu, all polished concrete, warm timber ceilings and floor-to-ceiling steel-framed glass, designed so that the garden and the views are always part of the room.

The pool stretches the length of the property beside a wide timber deck with loungers and parasols, while broad stone steps climb to the upper terrace and a covered outdoor lounge for evenings in the open air. Inside, a huge green sectional sofa faces a home cinema projector, a long timber dining table sits beneath woven pendant lights, and the dark-toned kitchen centres on a stone island with bar stools. There is also a private gym with a treadmill and weights, so routines need not slip on holiday.

Three king bedrooms have soft linens, garden views and sleek stone bathrooms, some with bathtubs and double sinks, and children get a room of their own with two sets of bunk beds, jungle wallpaper, a dollhouse and toys. Breakfast is included, with housekeeping from Monday to Saturday. Canggu’s cafés and boutiques along Jalan Batu Bolong are close by, as are the surf and sunsets of Echo Beach and Berawa.
