Villas are stunning, and include private plunge pools plus extras like Bose speakers, espresso machines, and butler services. Afternoon tea and free minibars are also included in rates.

Scene
Tranquil and luxurious all-villa property located in the heart of Legian's nightlife
Villa de daun is located next door to one of Bali's busiest tourist hubs, Legian Street, which is lined with blaring nightclubs and bars. However, once inside the hotel, it feels almost worlds apart. The ambience inside is tranquil and the grounds are spacious, featuring beautifully manicured lawns and pathways lined with tall palm trees and tropical greenery. There's a blend of colonial and Balinese styles throughout, and spaces like the lobby features marble floors, koi ponds, and comfy seating. Dala Spa is the hotel's most attractive facility, and is popular with both hotel guests and other travelers. Spa interiors are Victorian inspired and each treatment room features a different color scheme and decor. De daun Restauant is understated and intimate, overlooking manicured lawns and tropical greenery from an open-air wooden pergola. All in all, with its high-level services like butlers, and the private villas, this property is best for couples seeking a little seclusion amid one of the island's busier areas.
Location
Located in the heart of Legian's buzzing nightlife, a 10-minute walk to Kuta Beach
The hotel's location is prime for downtown Legian, tucked down a quiet lane that helps minimize noise, though only a short walk from Legian's wild party scene. The largest and most buzzing nightclubs -- such as Eikon, Skygarden, and Vi Ai Pi -- are all less than a 10-minute walk from the hotel. There's also a large variety of restaurants, shops, and cafes along Legian Street. The hotel is around a 10-minute walk from Kuta Beach and 15 minutes from Beachwalk Shopping Mall. Waterbom Park and Discovery Shopping Mall are both located around a 15- to 20-minute drive from the hotel. The airport takes 25 to 30 minutes to reach by car, but driving times can be longer during peak traffic hours.
