Villa Sky Li

Villa Sky Li is a three-bedroom Seminyak villa with a personality all its own. Owned and personally decorated by Lien Li, a Chinese singer and actress, every room tells a story through carefully chosen art pieces, repurposed boat-wood furniture, vibrant lime-hued accents, and statement mood lighting. Set within the secure Laksmana Estate on Jalan Laksmana, this 480-square-metre property places you at the epicentre of Seminyak’s dining and nightlife scene whilst maintaining a genuinely private, residential feel behind its walls.

The layout spans two levels around a 12-metre by 4-metre swimming pool and tropical garden. On the ground floor, the master bedroom features a king-size four-poster bed, garden views through large sliding glass doors, and an en-suite bathroom with bathtub and rain shower. Upstairs, two further bedrooms — one with a king bed and one that converts between king and twin configuration — each have their own en-suite bathrooms. All three rooms are air-conditioned with flat-screen televisions, iPod docks, and in-room safes. The flexible sleeping arrangements comfortably accommodate six guests, making it equally suited to families and groups of friends.

The communal spaces are where Villa Sky Li truly shines. The open-plan living area flows into a fully equipped American-style kitchen with bar, a six-seat round dining table, and an L-shaped lounge overlooking the pool. A separate air-conditioned TV room houses a Bose surround-sound system and large flat-screen with satellite channels and DVD player. Outside, sun loungers and a cushioned poolside bale provide shaded relaxation, whilst the pool table offers evening entertainment beyond the usual villa experience. Daily breakfast is prepared by the in-house team, and a private chef can be arranged for lunch and dinner at additional cost.

Location is one of the villa’s strongest cards. You are roughly 400 metres from Seminyak’s celebrated Eat Street and Seminyak Square, within walking distance of beach clubs such as Ku De Ta and Potato Head, and just five minutes on foot from the sand. Restaurants including Sarong, La Lucciola, and Batik are all a short stroll away. At $423 per night for three bedrooms, the combination of prime Seminyak positioning, genuine design character, full staffing, and daily breakfast represents solid value for a villa of this calibre.

Villa Sky Li is for travellers who want more from a Seminyak stay than a standard white-walled villa. The celebrity-curated design, generous pool, attentive staff, and unbeatable location on Bali’s most fashionable street create an experience with genuine character — the kind of place you will remember long after the tan fades.
