Villa Via

Climb to the roof of Villa Via late in the afternoon and Pererenan’s rice fields spread out in every direction, gold and green under a wide sky, with daybeds waiting for the sunset. Down below, this sculptural four-bedroom villa wraps around a long ten-metre pool with a raised jacuzzi at its end, its curved concrete, timber screens and textured stone softened by tumbling tropical planting.

The ground floor is one generous sweep of living space, with a fully equipped kitchen in marble and warm wood, a long dining table, and lounges that open straight onto the pool terrace. Find a quieter corner in the reading nook beneath a round porthole window, or stretch out on the shaded terrace beside the water. As night falls, garden lighting turns the pool and jacuzzi into a glowing centrepiece.

All four bedrooms come with their own bathrooms, and several open onto private gardens, with freestanding tubs, stone basins and open-air showers among the palms. Daily housekeeping keeps everything effortless, and a chef can be arranged for meals at home. Pererenan’s cafés and restaurants are minutes away, with Pererenan and Echo beaches and the sea temple of Tanah Lot within easy reach.
