The Experience
Imagine flinging open the curtains in the morning to the fresh sea air and a stunning sea vista. Picture slipping through your garden gate onto a carpet of golden sand that shelves gently towards the sea, then returning for a dip in your private beachfront pool while staff prepare a sumptuous breakfast for you in the breezy open-sided living pavilion. And that’s just the start of the day! It’s hard to find a villa that is actually as close to the beach as Villa Cemara; not only is it ‘absolute beachfront’, to use real estate parlance, it enjoys a staggering 60-metre frontage all to itself. The view is glorious – across a sweep of golden sand towards the sparking sea stretching toward the rugged outline of Nusa Penida shimmering on the horizon. Equally appealing is the multi-pavilion design conceived by famed Balinese architect Popo Danes, with generous space and liberal use of local materials such as alang-alang thatch, Benkirai and Merbau wood, Palimanan stone, granite and terrazzo – plus a lavish sprinkling of Indonesian art, artefacts and Dutch-style furniture. With the five bedrooms spread across three separate pavilions, everyone gets to enjoy a welcome level of privacy that’s hard to match in a standard all-under-one-roof villa. So a group of friends would be very comfortable staying here, as would a large family or two families holidaying together. Kids will love building sandcastles and splashing around in the shallow lagoon-like waters – the safest, family-friendly swimming beach in Bali. Older kids will make a beeline to the sea-sports centre a few moments south for a kite-surfing lesson or jet-ski ride. And guests of all ages will enjoy relaxing by the pool or socialising in the enormous open-sided living pavilion while the villa’s lovely staff remain discreetly on hand ready to serve an ice-cold Bintang, organise a massage, or prepare a casual barbecue or candlelit dinner.

Highlights
Location, location, location! It was wonderful being able to spring onto the beach in nano-seconds, and to enjoy the amazing sea views across the golden sands from every room. We also really loved the Bali-style architecture, and spent many an hour relaxing in the open-sided living pavilion.
Surprises
Those with kids might miss a separate media room, but there are TVs in the downstairs guest rooms as well as the master pavilion… and who would want to watch anything other than the stupendous view anyway? We did notice a little background noise from jet-skis from time to time, but it didn’t intrude, and was a good reminder that Bali’s best sea-sports centres were only a stroll away; the most popular sport in the neighbourhood is kite-surfing and we enjoyed the sight of their billowing sails drifting into view. The beach therapists beyond the entrance were enthusiastic in offering us massages every time they saw us, but were good-natured when we declined, in favour of an in-villa session organised by the staff instead.
PROs
- Fabulous beachfront location
- Safe, shallow swimming beach
- Fantastic views from every room
- Spacious master pavilion
- Easy walk to cafes and sea-sports
CONs
- No separate TV room
- Occasional jet-ski buzz

Location
Villa Cemara is located right on the beach of Bali’s south-eastern coast, in possibly the most upmarket part of Sanur just south of the historic Bali Hyatt and new Fairmont Hotel. Looking across the Lombok Strait towards the islands of Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan, the villa is sandwiched between a small hotel and a revered temple (shaded by a Cemara tree, after which the villa is named). The pedestrian promenade that runs for eight kilometres in both directions leads to Sanur’s many beachfront cafés and bars, restaurants, boutiques, lifestyle shops and spas as well as Bali’s best water sports centre. The airport is only half an hour away, thanks to the ocean toll road.

About Sanur
Drawn by its exotic location, laid-back attitude and bohemian vibes, Sanur attracts a well-heeled, mature, and sophisticated crowd.
Thanks to an influx of western artists and adventurers making the town their home from the 1930s onwards, Sanur quickly became Bali’s first official tourist spot. Times have moved on since then, but Sanur retains the same eclectic vibe that made it so popular in the first place.
Only a 30-minute drive from Bali’s international airport, Sanur’s main attraction is a long stretch of golden coastline. Its relatively gentle ocean swell, incredible panoramas and lengthy beachfront promenade make it a great spot for tanning, swimming, strolling, and catching the sunrise.
Despite its quaint reputation there are plenty of things to do in Sanur, including daytime and nighttime beach markets which sell the full range of traditional local crafts, cheap souvenirs, and fresh produce. It also has an excellent range of quality restaurants and a surprising number of evening entertainment venues.
For a slice of local history and culture, we recommend a visit to the Le Mayeur Museum – home of the famous Belgian painter who was one of the early Bali pioneers. You can combine it with a trip to Pura Blanjong, a temple housing a stone column said to be the oldest man-made artefact in Bali.
Sanur’s small port has regular ferry services to the nearby islands of Penida, Ceningan and Lembongan. Less developed than the main island and only half an hour away by speedboat, they offer awesome diving and snorkelling opportunities – perfect for a day trip.
Easy-going, breezy, and picturesque, Sanur is a great location if you’re looking for a quiet beach town with easy access to some of Bali’s most popular destinations and beauty spots.
About Bali
Bali is Indonesia’s most popular tourist location and is considered one of Asia's premier tropical island destinations. Steeped in history and renowned for its artistic way of life, Bali is a peaceful contrast to some of the more frantic destinations Asia has to offer.
The inner peace and creative talents of the Balinese has attracted artists the world over fascinated by local dancers, silversmiths, wood carvers, potters and painters that seem to pervade throughout the island. The abundant verdant fields and surrounding sea have long supplied Bali with an easy surplus of food leaving time for life’s more artistic past times. As a result everything in Bali has a creative and religious element centred around the local Banjar (residents association) – little, adorned temples are everywhere, doors are covered in intricate carvings, huge kites ward off evil spirits and colourful roadside ceremonies bring traffic to a standstill.
Bali is a popular destination principally from Australia and Asia but also from all over Europe. The island welcomes thousands of visitors each year to a relaxing lifestyle, stunning beaches, world class surf, vibrant villages, and spectacular scenery all with an exquisite tropical climate. Located approximately two hours’ flying time from Singapore the island is serviced by an international airport at Denpasar with direct flights to and from many major cities in Asia, Europe and Australia and many more via Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital.
The island offers an impressive range of leisure and lifestyle amenities including world-class golf courses, wonderful seascapes for surfing, diving and snorkelling as well as luxurious spas, chic boutiques, tropical forests, towering volcanoes and international cuisine.
Rooms
Very few villas can boast a 60-metre frontage onto the gently shelving golden sands for which Bali’s popular resort village of Sanur is famed. This is traditional Bali-style tropical living at its best, with five one- and two-storey alang-alang thatched pavilions all oriented for spectacular sea views across the Lombok Strait towards the islands of Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan rising on the horizon.
The villa’s social heart is the huge open-sided living pavilion bordering the beach. Cooled by the sea breeze and whirling overhead fans, this elegant space is divided into two sections: a generous seating area with traditional daybed and contemporary sofas and chairs clustered around a large coffee table crafted from an antique panel, and a dining area dominated by a large teakwood table with marble top and ‘lazy susan’. Across the lotus pond is a separate pavilion housing the well-equipped kitchen where the staff prepare meals from an extensive suggestion menu.
Across the 10-metre pool and lying just as close to the beach is the master pavilion. This magnificent space is a tour de force, with a stunning wall of elaborately carved teakwood panels, an air-conditioned bedroom with large sitting area overlooking a waterfall-fed pool, and a river-stone courtyard with black terrazzo jacuzzi and alfresco shower. The bathroom is also air-conditioned, and there is a separate dressing room. Facing the sea is a long shaded veranda with seating, and steps to a raised bale by the pond.
Four air-conditioned guest suites full of colonial-style character and charm are housed in a pair of two-storey pavilions gazing across the pool towards the ocean. The two garden-level suites feature poolside verandas while the upper suites, which are accessed by external stairs, enjoy uninterrupted ocean vistas. All four have dressing areas and air-conditioned bathrooms with alfresco courtyard showers (and bathtubs in the two downstairs).
