Villa Raya

Villa Raya is a newly built four-bedroom retreat in Berawa that fuses Mediterranean-inspired architecture with tropical Balinese living. The design is immediately striking: white rendered walls frame elegant arched doorways and steel-framed windows, while natural stone feature walls and timber-clad ceilings add warmth and texture throughout. It is a villa that photographs beautifully, but the real pleasure is in the details you discover once you arrive — the curated ceramics in the living room niches, the individually tiled bathrooms, the way the arched glass doors fold open so the entire ground floor connects seamlessly to the pool deck.

The centrepiece of the outdoor space is a generous swimming pool with a sunken conversation lounge built into its centre — cushioned seating arranged around a low table, partially submerged and illuminated at night, creating the kind of setting that turns a casual evening drink into something memorable. A thatched parasol shades timber sun loungers on one side, while lush heliconia and banana palms screen the garden walls. Upstairs, a rooftop terrace houses a timber-decked jacuzzi surrounded by palms and rattan pendant lights, offering a more private vantage point over the Berawa rooftops.

Inside, the double-height dining and kitchen area is the social heart of the villa. A large oval fluted dining table seats eight beneath sculptural rattan pendant lights, with a separate kitchen island and bar stools for casual meals. The kitchen itself is fully equipped with an induction hob, built-in refrigerator, and teak cabinetry set within arched timber shelving. The sunken living room is equally considered: a deep conversation pit lined with white cushions faces a large smart TV mounted against a natural stone arch, with built-in display niches showcasing artisan pottery and ceramics. An outdoor BBQ station with a stainless steel grill and patterned tile splashback rounds out the entertaining options, alongside a covered alfresco dining area with a solid teak table beneath a timber-lined ceiling.

All four bedrooms are air-conditioned with ceiling fans and open onto balconies or terraces. The master suite features a raised platform bed set within an arched niche, with sliding glass doors overlooking the rooftop terrace and jacuzzi. Each of the four en-suite bathrooms has its own character — one lined in pink herringbone tiles with a freestanding soaking tub and brass fixtures, others in glossy green vertical tiles with rain showers and backlit timber-framed mirrors. Berawa Beach and FINNS Beach Club are a short walk away, and the neighbourhood’s best cafes, restaurants, and boutiques are even closer. At under $100 per bedroom per night, Villa Raya delivers a level of architectural ambition and finish quality that is rare at this price point in Canggu.

Villa Raya is built for the kind of holiday where design, location, and social spaces all matter equally. Whether your group gathers around the sunken pool lounge at sunset, cooks together in that double-height kitchen, or heads out on foot to explore Berawa’s ever-growing collection of restaurants and beach clubs, this is a villa that makes every part of the day feel considered. From $391 per night.
