Villa SoDe is a four-bedroom Uluwatu property that combines Bukit Peninsula location with a design sensibility that feels considered rather than generic. The bean-shaped swimming pool is the centrepiece — an unusual shape surrounded by a pebbled garden, sun loungers, and a traditional bale gazebo that gives the outdoor space genuine character. Five minutes from Balangan Beach and within easy reach of Uluwatu’s famous surf breaks and clifftop bars, SoDe puts you in the right part of Bali for dramatic coastline and quieter days.
Inside, the open-plan living area has a lounge suite, dining table, bar, and full kitchen, all opening onto the garden and pool. A mezzanine lounge upstairs adds a second living space — useful for groups who want to watch different things on TV or for kids wanting their own hangout. Both lounges have large flat-screen TVs, as do all four bedrooms. The design mixes modern aesthetics with traditional Balinese elements, and the curated artwork throughout adds personality. All four bedrooms are en-suite with air conditioning.
Why We Recommend Villa SoDe
At $423 per night for four bedrooms, SoDe offers a well-designed Bukit Peninsula villa at about $106 per room. The staff prepare breakfast and cater to individual needs, which adds a personal touch. We particularly appreciate the two separate lounge areas — a mezzanine level and a ground-floor living room — because it means groups of eight can spread out without everyone competing for the same sofa. Balangan Beach is five minutes away, and Uluwatu Temple, Padang Padang, and Single Fin beach bar are all short drives.
Our Favourite Features
- The bean-shaped pool with pebbled garden and bale gazebo gives the outdoor area real character — not your standard rectangular pool
- Two separate lounge areas (ground floor and mezzanine) let groups spread out comfortably
- Five minutes from Balangan Beach and close to Uluwatu’s best surf breaks and clifftop venues
- Curated artwork and a thoughtful blend of modern and Balinese design elements
- Staff-prepared breakfast and personalised service throughout the stay
Good To Know
- Uluwatu is on the Bukit Peninsula — quieter and more spread out than Seminyak or Canggu. You will need a scooter or car
- The bean-shaped pool is charming but not a lap pool — it is designed for lounging and cooling off rather than exercise
- Restaurant options nearby are growing but still limited compared to Seminyak — the beach clubs (Single Fin, Ulu Cliffhouse) fill the gap nicely
- Great base for surfers wanting to explore Bukit breaks: Balangan, Dreamland, Bingin, Padang Padang, and Uluwatu are all within 15 minutes
For a characterful Bukit Peninsula villa with a unique pool, two living areas, and easy access to Bali’s best surf coast, Villa SoDe is a smart choice at this price.
