Villa SoDe (4 Bedrooms)

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.nnInside, 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.nn

nnAt $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.nn
