Villa Obseassion

A woven rattan egg chair hangs from a thatched beam above the water at Villa Obseassion, swaying gently over a free-form pool that curls through a sunny lawn. It is the kind of detail that defines this bright, beautifully finished three-bedroom villa in Bingin, in Uluwatu, where white walls, pale timber and potted palms give everything a breezy, beach-house feel.

Inside, the open-plan living room centres on a deep sofa and a smart TV set into a sculpted niche of shelving, flowing into a long dining table and a sleek white kitchen with a breakfast island and stools. Glass doors fold back onto the garden, where loungers line the pool and the sun reaches the lawn for most of the day. A covered outdoor lounge with a built-in barbecue makes alfresco dinners easy, whatever the weather.

All three bedrooms have king beds, air conditioning and their own ensuite, with freestanding tubs, marble-look walls and warm pendant lighting. Bingin’s beach, cafés, restaurants and yoga studios are only around five minutes away on foot, so surf mornings and long lunches need no car at all, while the rest of Uluwatu’s clifftop beaches and sunset spots are a short ride further.
