Nyaman Villas

Although located just a few minutes' walk from one of Seminyak's most happening areas, Kayu Aya Street, the hotel is far enough from the main strip to stay quiet and tranquil. Stepping off the main road and walking along the the small garden-lined pathways that lead to the villas, guests feel far removed from Seminyak's bustling scene. However, the only hotel facility is a functional lobby area, which is mainly used for registration. There are only two- and four-bedroom villa compounds on offer, so the hotel is mostly suited to families or groups of friends. The atmosphere though is fairly romantic and intimate, and each villa compound is surrounded by tall walls, which help keep the villas (and their pools) private.  

Nyaman Villas are built in a strategic location along a quiet laneway, a seven-minute walk from Kayu Aya Beach and five minutes to Eat Street or Kayu Aya Street. Some of the island's best restaurants and shopping are there, dotted with fine dining restaurants, happening cafes, chic nightlife spots, and boutique shops. Kayu Aya Beach tends to be more quiet and laid-back than neighboring Seminyak Beach. Though it isn't well suited for swimming due to the heavy riptides, but it is nice for long walks or lounging. Ku De Ta is a popular oceanfront restaurant along Kayu Aya Beach, which is always bustling and happening during sunset hours. The nearby Petitenget Beach also features some great oceanfront restaurants and beach clubs, such as La Lucciola Restaurant, Potatohead beach club, and W Bali, which are all located less than a 15-minute drive from the hotel. Kuta Beach is around a 25-minute drive away. The airport takes around 35 minutes to reach by car, though driving times can vary depending on traffic.  

The villas offer plenty of space to sprawl out. The smallest villa compounds start at a generous 5400 square meters (500 square meters). Features include huge living rooms, well-equipped kitchens, and large swimming pools surrounded by tropical gardens. Villas are surrounded by tall walls, which helps keeps the privacy high and the noise levels down. Interiors are stylishly chic and modern -- plus bright and airy with tall ceilings and semi-open-air common areas. The bedrooms have large glass doors and windows, and offer a view of the pool and tropical gardens. Natural materials are used throughout, such as wood shingles and thatched roofs, limestone walls, white terrazzo floors, and quality wooden furniture and trim that adds warmth. Decorations include fine art photographs, carved stone reliefs, abstract artworks, and displayed tribal Indonesian jewelry and carvings. Villas are furnished with comfy couches, dining tables and chairs, minimalist wood veneer bed frames, and large wardrobes. Standard amenities include ceiling fans, air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs and DVD players, iPod docks, and safes. Kitchens are outfitted with stovetop burners, ovens, kettles, microwaves, full-size refrigerators, and mineral water dispensers. One of the best features of each villa compound are the outdoor swimming pools surround by tropical gardens. The setting is stunning, with flowering frangipani trees, tall palms, heliconias, grass lawns, and dense tropical greenery. There are lounge chairs, as well as a gazebo with a daybed to relax on by the pool. 

Both two- and four-bedroom villa compounds are available. Exterior walls of each villa are moveable, and can be opened to combine villas, which is great for groups or small wedding parties. The four-bedroom villas are two stories tall and feature lounge areas on both stories. Both villa types have similar stylings, though the design features highlighted in the four-bedroom villas are more dramatic. In the four-bedroom villas the swimming pools flow inside the villa into the downstairs living room, and green vines spill into the pool from the second story of the villa, to stunning effect. 

Villa bathrooms are semi open-air and are lined with tropical greenery. They feature outdoor rain showers, deep soaking tubs, and long terrazzo vanities with large mirrors. Bathrobes, toiletries, and hairdryers are provided. 

Nyaman Villas don't offer facilities outside of the villas themselves, except for a small functional lobby area. The villas compounds are well equipped, and have private pools, useable kitchen, living rooms, and plenty of space to sprawl out. Foom service is available and a daily a la carte breakfast is included in room packages. In-room spa treatments are also offered. The hotel provides some free extras, including airport transfers, a mobile phone for guests to use during their stay, a DVD library, a Playstation console and games to borrow, a welcome drink and fruit basket, plus butler services. Both parking and Wi-Fi are free.
