Romantic and private, one-bedroomed Villa Avalon III’s traditional Balinese entrance opens onto a lotus pond and steps into the huge open-plan living and dining room. The bedroom features a queen-size bed and seating area facing the pool terrace as well as a palatial ensuite bathroom, with statement bathtub and dressing room. Meals can be prepared by the Villa Avalon chef (when villa is rented in conjunction with Avalon I), or whipped up in the well-equipped kitchenette. The villa is just three minutes’ walk from the ocean and 15 minutes from Potato Head in Seminyak.

The Villa Avalon estate is the very last private residence on a small lane that leads to Canggu’s Kayu Putih beach, with its glistening volcanic sand and awesome waves. Only a temple and a small lagoon – over which a rustic timber walkway leads to kilometres of sandy beach – lie between the villa and the ocean. La Laguna, a charming “boho-batik” restaurant and sunset bar, is a hop and skip away; even W Hotel, Potato Head and the famed bars and restaurants of Seminyak are only a 15-minute walk from the villa. A 15-minute amble inland brings you to Canggu Plaza, with its expat-focused supermarket, gelato stop and choice of eateries. Villa Avalon is in an ideal location, right on Seminyak’s doorstep yet with the peace and quiet of a far more rural setting.

Your villa manager will have a wealth of information about places of interest and will help arrange transport and make any bookings required. Do also ask the staff about the area too; most will live nearby and can give an interesting insight into some of the fascinating aspects of local Bali life.
