Why We Recommend Villa Umara
Villa Umara is one of Seminyak’s best-kept secrets — a peaceful three-bedroom retreat tucked down a quiet lane between Dhyana Pura Street and Oberoi Road, yet just 800 metres from the sand at Double Six Beach. At $86–$127 per bedroom per night, it delivers genuine value for a private-pool villa in one of Bali’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. The double-storey layout gives the villa a sense of space that belies its three-bedroom footprint: two ground-floor bedrooms open directly onto the tropical garden and pool, while the upstairs room enjoys leafy garden views and added privacy. With a well-equipped kitchen, daily housekeeping, and some of Seminyak’s best restaurants within a ten-minute walk, Villa Umara suits couples travelling together or families who want genuine Balinese hospitality without sacrificing location.
Our Favourite Features
- Prime Seminyak position on foot — Oberoi Road’s dining strip (La Lucciola, Ginger Moon, KU DE TA) is under ten minutes’ walk, and Double Six Beach is 800 metres away, so you can leave the scooter parked.
- Lush walled garden with private pool — The tropical garden is a genuine highlight, complete with towering palms, flowering plants, a Buddha fountain, and three rattan loungers shaded by a large parasol.
- Flexible bedroom configuration — Two rooms have queen beds and one has twins that convert into a king, making it easy to accommodate couples, families, or a mix of both.
- Open-plan living that feels tropical — The kitchen, dining and lounge flow together in a breezy island-inspired layout with a skylight above the kitchen bench, flooding the space with natural light.
- Complimentary first-day breakfast and optional chef — Breakfast is included on your arrival day, and the villa’s Chef Made can be hired for additional meals at very reasonable local rates.
Good To Know
- Not beachfront — The 800-metre walk to Double Six Beach takes roughly ten minutes on foot. Grab bikes from the villa or hail a passing taxi if the midday heat is too much.
- Two-burner kitchen — The kitchen is well-stocked with a blender, coffee machine, toaster and microwave, but the cooktop has only two burners, so serious cooks may prefer to hire the chef.
- Ideal for children — The walled garden and ground-floor bedroom access make it easy to keep an eye on kids around the pool, though there is no pool fence, so young swimmers need supervision.
- Quiet lane, lively neighbourhood — The villa’s secluded entrance keeps noise to a minimum, but Jalan Basangkasa’s warungs, Made’s Warung and Shelter Cafe are just a few minutes’ walk away.
- Daily housekeeping included — The resident staff handle cleaning and turndown, and can arrange spa treatments, airport transfers and day trips on request.
