Villa Ohlala

Tucked away in the heart of Pererenan, Villa Ohlala is a four-bedroom retreat that marries contemporary design with the warmth of natural Balinese materials. Stone accent walls, soaring timber ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows create a sense of space and light that immediately sets this property apart from the typical Canggu rental. The villa sits less than a kilometre from the coast and within easy walking distance of Pererenan’s vibrant strip of cafes, boutiques, and surf-culture eateries, yet the walled compound and tropical gardens ensure genuine privacy once you step through the gate.

At the centre of the outdoor living area is a lagoon-style pool flanked by mature palms and lush garden lawns. Submerged bar stools let you settle into the water with a drink in hand, while a furnished poolside terrace provides space for al fresco meals and afternoon lounging. Inside, the open-plan living and dining pavilion features retractable walls that slide away entirely, merging the interior with the garden and pool deck. A striking sunken lounge anchored by a U-shaped sofa and natural stone backdrop offers a more intimate gathering spot for evening cocktails or film nights.

All four bedrooms are en-suite and fitted with king-size beds, generous wardrobes, and individual air conditioning. The standout is the master suite, which opens onto a private rooftop balcony furnished with oversized bean bags and a low coffee table. From here, you look out across Pererenan’s patchwork of emerald rice terraces as the sun drops below the horizon. The fully equipped kitchen includes a breakfast bar with stools and a dining table for eight, making it equally suited to self-catering families and groups who prefer to book the villa’s private chef for a traditional Indonesian dinner.

Pererenan Beach and Pantai Lima are both a short ten-minute drive away, and the surrounding neighbourhood is home to some of Bali’s most talked-about restaurants, including HOME by Chef Wayan, Shelter, and BAKED. The villa’s concierge team can arrange airport transfers with English-speaking drivers, in-villa Balinese massages, car hire, babysitting, and restaurant reservations, so every detail of your stay is taken care of.

Villa Ohlala delivers the kind of stay that guests remember long after they leave Bali. The combination of thoughtful architecture, genuine comfort, and a location at the centre of Pererenan’s thriving food and surf scene makes it an outstanding choice for families or groups of friends seeking a design-led villa without sacrificing convenience. From $433/night.
