Villa Taramille is a four-bedroom property in Kerobokan built around three traditional Joglo pavilions, and the layout gives it a compound feel that most single-building villas lack. The pavilions are arranged around a tropical garden with a natural stone swimming pool and a thatched-roof gazebo — the kind of setting that feels authentically Balinese rather than resort-manufactured. It’s on the edge of Seminyak in the Umalas-Kerobokan area, which means you get a quieter residential feel while still being a short drive from Seminyak’s restaurants and shopping.
The main pavilion houses the open-plan living area, which connects directly to the garden and pool. The interiors are decorated in soft tones with wooden furniture and art pieces throughout, and there’s plenty of natural light thanks to the Joglo construction. The dining area sits beneath a wooden structure with seating for six, and there’s a separate lounge area with a flat-screen TV and plush seating. The outdoor veranda adds another living space with garden views and comfortable sofas — in practice, this villa gives you three or four different spots to sit and relax, which makes a real difference for groups.
The four bedrooms are spread across the pavilions, which means better privacy and separation than you’d get in a conventional villa layout. The property comes with a full staff team including a villa manager, housekeepers, and security personnel.
Why We Recommend Villa Taramille
At $282 per night for four bedrooms, Villa Taramille works out to about $71 per room — excellent value for a Joglo-pavilion property with this level of character. The three-pavilion layout is genuinely special: it creates natural separation between living and sleeping spaces, gives every area its own sense of place, and makes the property feel more like a private compound than a single villa. The natural stone pool and thatched gazebo add to the traditional atmosphere, and the garden is well maintained. Having a villa manager on-site rather than just housekeeping staff means things run smoothly.
Our Favourite Features
- Three Joglo-style pavilions arranged around the garden create a private compound atmosphere with natural separation between spaces
- Natural stone swimming pool with thatched-roof gazebo — the outdoor area feels authentically Balinese, not mass-produced

- Traditional wooden architecture with abundant natural light and warm, tasteful interiors throughout
- Full staff team including villa manager, housekeepers, and security for a properly managed stay
Good To Know
- Kerobokan-Umalas is quieter and more residential than central Seminyak — peaceful, but you’ll need a scooter or car for restaurants and nightlife
- The dining table seats six, so larger groups may need to eat in shifts or arrange alternative seating for eight
- Traditional Joglo construction means open-air elements and natural ventilation — beautiful but expect some wildlife (geckos, insects) as part of the tropical experience
- The natural stone pool is designed for atmosphere rather than laps — it complements the garden setting perfectly
- Seminyak’s Eat Street and main shopping areas are about a 10-minute drive, and Canggu is accessible heading north
For a villa with genuine traditional Balinese character, a compound-style layout, and a price that makes it accessible for groups, Villa Taramille offers something that most modern Kerobokan villas don’t — real architectural personality and a garden setting that feels like it belongs in Bali, not anywhere.
