Why We Recommend Villa Pantai Candidasa

If you’re searching for a genuine beachfront escape away from the crowds of southern Bali, Villa Pantai Candidasa is one of the most compelling options on the island. Sitting just 10 metres from the shore in the quiet east-coast village of Candidasa, this two-bedroom retreat puts you closer to the ocean than almost any other private villa in Bali — and does so at a remarkably accessible price. At $102–$156 per bedroom per night, you get absolute beachfront living, a private chef, daily breakfast, a two-tiered pool with jacuzzi, and a full team of staff. Most beachfront villas at this standard would cost two or three times the price further south.

The villa blends traditional Joglo architecture with European-inspired interiors, creating a space that feels both authentically Balinese and genuinely comfortable. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors fold open to frame uninterrupted ocean views from the living area, while the two-tiered infinity pool steps down towards the sea through manicured tropical gardens. Candidasa is a world apart from the bustle of Seminyak and Canggu — here, you fall asleep to the sound of waves and wake to fishing boats returning with the morning catch.

Our Favourite Features

Absolute beachfront position — just 10 metres from the sand, with unobstructed ocean panoramas from the pool, living area, and both bedrooms. Few villas in Bali sit this close to the water.
Private chef and daily breakfast included — a dedicated chef prepares Western, Asian, and vegetarian menus, with breakfast served each morning at no extra charge. Additional meals can be arranged at cost.
Two-tiered infinity pool with jacuzzi — the 6x3-metre pool flows across two levels framed by limestone paving, sunloungers, and poolside umbrellas, with a built-in jacuzzi for evening relaxation.
Characterful Joglo-meets-European design — mahogany timber dining for six, curated Balinese sculptures, local artwork on the walls, and an indoor-outdoor living area with rattan seating and a cocktail bar.
Blue Lagoon snorkelling on your doorstep — Candidasa is the gateway to some of Bali’s best reef snorkelling at Blue Lagoon and Bias Tugal beach, both a short 20-minute drive from the villa.

Good To Know

Candidasa is quiet by design — this is east Bali, not a nightlife district. The village has a handful of restaurants and shops along the main road, but the pace is deliberately slow. Ideal for couples and families who want genuine relaxation.
Airport transfer is around 1 hour 40 minutes — Candidasa is 62 km from Ngurah Rai International Airport. We recommend arranging a private car transfer, which the villa team can organise on request.
Maximum capacity is 6 guests — two ensuite bedrooms sleep four comfortably, with room for two additional guests. Both bedrooms have air conditioning and ensuite bathrooms with modern fittings.
Beach development project nearby — a government-led beach and walkway improvement programme was initiated in front of the villa in mid-2025. Check current status before booking, as construction timelines in Bali can shift. Discounted rates may apply during works.
A portion of your stay supports sight restoration — the villa partners with the Bali Eye Foundation, donating a percentage of every booking to fund eye care for local communities. A meaningful touch that sets this property apart.
