A stylish hideaway in the heart of Seminyak, Villa Toba is just 500 metres from a sweeping sandy beach and has the best of Bali’s world-class restaurants, bars and boutiques right on its doorstep. An elegant design highlights contemporary tropical living, with private swimming pool encircled by a lush walled garden, atmospheric open-plan living area and two spacious bedrooms with courtyard bathrooms. As one of four luxurious Lakshmi Villas, Toba can be rented alone, or in combination with the other villas, offering up to seven bedrooms sleeping 14 adults.

​

Lakshmi villas are part of the Laksmana Private Villas Estate, with a number of villas located along a picturesque tree-lined lane. Many of Seminyak’s attractions are within easy walking distance. A gate at the back of the estate grants quick access to Seminyak Square, with a number of restaurants and boutiques, as well as a bakery and gourmet supermarket. Alternatively, wander down the lane and turn left for the golden sandy beach at Oberoi, legendary beach club Ku De Ta – still the island’s hottest sunset spot, and a number of boutiques and restaurants, including Teatro Gastroteque which provides one of Bali’s most exciting dining experiences. Turn right for the funky neighbourhood known as Petitenget, with its ancient sea temple, La Lucciola with atmospheric beachfront Italian dining and Motel Mexicola which serves Mexican-themed food in colourful retro surrounds. Wine lovers can stroll to Vin+, a restaurant and wine boutique which offers the most extensive selection of retail wines on the island. While those in search of a decadent spa or salon treatment can pop into Body Works – one of the Bali’s most renowned day spas.

Many of them live nearby and will be able to give an interesting insight into some of the fascinating aspects of Bali life.
