Why We Recommend Villa Waterlily

Villa Waterlily is a three-bedroom Seminyak villa that nails the traditional Balinese aesthetic without compromising on comfort. At $291 per night, that’s $97 per room — keeping you under the $100 mark for a private villa with pool in central Seminyak. The property is enclosed by towering bamboo walls that create genuine seclusion, with a private pool, palimanan stone sundeck, and manicured lawn inside. It’s the kind of villa where you forget you’re in the middle of Seminyak.

The open-plan living pavilion under a traditional alang-alang thatched roof is the heart of the villa. Local timbers, rattan furnishings, and tribal artwork create an interior that feels authentically Balinese rather than manufactured. The kitchen is well-equipped (including a Nespresso machine for serious coffee drinkers), and the dining table seats enough for the whole group. Two ground-floor bedrooms open directly to the pool area, which is a practical advantage for families.

The master suite occupies the entire upper floor — a king-sized bed with elegant white curtains and an en-suite bathroom that feels like a private retreat above the garden.
