Samaja Villas Kunti is an upper-middle-range boutique hotel, located on the outskirts of downtown Seminyak. The property's 10 chic, modern villas are nestled in private compounds surrounded by high walls, and feature alluring plunge pools and breezy, open-air living rooms. All are outfitted with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, safes, minibars, electric kettles, and Wi-Fi. A small spa offers massage and beauty treatments, and there's a casual streetside restaurant that serves up contemporary cuisine and local dishes, but the hotel lacks a gym and doesn't have a business center. Travelers looking for accommodations closer to the beach should check out the hotel's sister property, Samaja Beachside Villas, which has similar rates and amenities, but it's less than a 10-minute walk from the water and downtown Seminyak.

Scene
A peaceful enclave off a busy road that draws couples looking for secluded accommodations
Samaja Villas Kunti's location isn't the most tranquil, as it's set on a street that's subject to traffic, but slipping into the property is a respite from the fray. The atmosphere is private and feels intimate, so it isn't hard to see why the majority of guests are couples, though the hotel also attracts families and groups of friends. The airy lobby is mainly just a place to check in before setting out for villas on walkways lined with verdant tropical plants and tall palms. There isn't much else in the way of common space except for the hotel's casual restaurant, which has a deck with large frangipani trees for shaded alfresco dining.
Location
Located off Sunset Road highway, a short drive from the beach and Seminyak's Eat Street
Samaja Villas Kunti is located on the outskirts of downtown Seminyak near busy Sunset Road. The immediate area has limited restaurants and shops, but there are more options on Kunti I Street about a 10-minute walk away, including a deli with local and imported goods. Downtown Seminyak is roughly 15 minutes on foot, and most guests opt for a taxi to get there, or they use the hotel's free shuttle service, as crossing the highway can be challenging.
It's a 10-minute car ride to expansive Seminyak Beach, which is safe for surfing and swimming and close to popular eateries such as Chez Gado Gado, Moonlite Kitchen and Bar, and the boho-chic La Plancha Beach Bar. Some of Bali's best restaurants can be found along Seminyak's Eat Street and Laksmana Street, roughly a 15-minute drive from the hotel. Here, there are also plenty of designer boutiques and a sophisticated nightlife scene. It takes at least 20 minutes to drive to popular tourists hubs in Kuta, such as Kuta Beach and the wild clubs along Legian Street. Expect a 20-minute drive to reach the airport (or longer depending on traffic).
Rooms
Pristine, minimalist-chic villas with attractive bathrooms and private plunge pools
The resort's villas are modern and bright, hidden from view by high walls for maximum privacy. Decor is simple and elegant, with rattan and dark wood veneer furniture that adds warmth to the minimalist spaces. All are outfitted with clustered seating areas, dining room tables, desks, large wardrobes, and platform beds. Standard room amenities include air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, safes, minibars, and electric kettles.
Bathrooms are semi open-air and stylish, with light floor tiles and black Corian vanities. They have deep soaking tubs with removable showerheads, walk-in showers, toiletries, and bottled water.
The villa's inviting plunge pools are surrounded by decks with loungers, and a few scattered plants that inject a dot of color. There are nine one-bedroom villas and one two-bedroom villa, which has a couch and flowering frangipani trees outside. Some guests note noise from traffic on the busy highway nearby.
