Concealed in the most fashionable district of Seminyak, close to the shops, restaurants, bars and beach, Villa Coco Groove celebrates contemporary tropical living; a chic, spacious 1600 sqm three bedroom, staffed property overlooking an expansive garden which is home to a small coconut grove and an 18 metre swimming pool.
Chic, minimalist tropical living in a spacious garden setting
Villa Coco Groove boasts chic, minimalist tropical living in a spacious garden setting. It is quiet considering it is situated in a compact residential area, near to the restaurant and shopping districts. The grassed coconut grove and large swimming pool provide a beautiful focal point from all areas of the property, along with the lotus pond, elegant bamboo bale, and mango and frangipani trees. The vastness of the site is a rarity for villas in this sought-after area, which makes it a great place for functions and parties, or a pleasant residence for a family holiday or a romantic break. It is suitable for all age groups and is exceptional value for money.
The minimalist design is accented by beautiful pieces of antique furniture, traditional carvings, interesting ornaments and works of art; a fabulous blend of old and new. We particularly liked the Sarawak theme in the lounge; the back wall is adorned with baby carriers, masks, parang knives, oars and blowpipes of ethnic groups from the Borneo region, such as the Dayak, Iban and Orang Ulu. You can read all about them in a number of the books found in a small, but cultured library in the master bedroom.
The outdoor areas, with the splendid 18m x 4m lap pool are perfect for lounging and entertaining, whilst the bedrooms are all extremely comfortable and well decorated with interesting pieces of furniture and ornaments. The bathrooms, all open air are chic with their wood deck flooring and pebbled walls – a great tropical experience. Whilst the indoor lounge is functional, the small TV screen and limited seating engineers it more towards a reading room or study (there are no TVs in the bedrooms either).
We found the staff (total eight) professional, friendly and speak good English. They live out, however hours are flexible depending on your needs, and with three security guards there is always someone on hand. Babysitters and masseurs are available on request at additional charge. The chef excelled in all the meals he prepared for us. You can choose from an extensive suggestion menu in advance and the staff will do the provisioning and bring you receipts and change (a small crage is made per trip). A well-thought-out information book informs you of the day-to-day operations of the villa and recommends day trips which can be arranged by the staff, whilst also giving great advice on local attractions.

Highlights
Staying in a superbly designed and furnished villa with spacious garden areas in downtown Seminyak is a luxury. Certainly there are not many private villas in this area boasting an 18m swimming pool and substantial coconut grove. The feeling of space and tranquillity in the open living areas is a joyful contrast from the busy streets nearby. It is also pleasant to stay in a residence where the television is far from the focal point, where interesting coffee table books and collections of artefacts provide stimulus for conversation. This may not suit everyone and there is a solitary (and rather small) TV with a DVD player and satellite channels should you need to entertain the kids in the lounge or check the news.
Surprises
At the time of review (August 2009) there was a building project underway in the next-door-but-one plot which created a little noise pollution, but was not too intrusive as it does not overlook the villa. It is quite normal to find yourself near a construction site in Bali as there is so much development at present, the good news for Villa Coco Groove is that once this development is finished most of the surrounding land will already have been built on so there will be no further disturbances. The other things that are common to outdoor areas in Bali are mosquitoes and the occasional bat that circles the grove at night. The bats are small and harmless, whilst the staff spray the rooms with mosquito repellent and put coils around the outside living areas at night. The open living areas may get a little wet during the rainy season, as high winds can blow the rain in, however the staff are well practised in managing this problem to ensure the concrete floors don’t become too slippery and you can also dine in the lounge. There is WiFi internet available all over the villa, although it is chargeable.

Rachel & Alon Mizrachi & family
The owner of Villa Coco Groove is most definitely a stylish, cultured and well travelled individual. This is reflected in the villa's simple yet chic design and the antique furniture, ornaments, works of art and books on display. With this in mind we imagine the villa's name is cleverly devised from the coconut grove that sits proudly in the centre of the large 1600sqm property, as this is the perfect place to lay back and groove.
The villa's ‘L’ shaped structure hugs two sides of the grassed coconut grove, which is home to seven thriving coconut trees and Balinese stone statues - all floodlit romantically in the evening. The master bedroom, decorated with antique Chinese furnishings which contrast its chic open-air bathroom, looks out onto an 18m lap pool with a bamboo balé (gazebo) and sunbeds. This is the perfect spot to spend a relaxing day being pampered by the attentive Balinese staff. The villa is fully serviced with cleaners, waiters, security guards, a gardener, manager and resident chef who will shop for you and prepare delicious cuisine from the villa menu and is also happy to prepare special requests (food on guest account). Along the other side of the grove, two guest bedrooms are hidden behind a wall panelled in light wood reminiscent of a minimalist Scandinavian residence.
Villa Coco Groove is a splendid oasis in the heart of Seminyak, an area where property is in high demand. It is unusual in its size and spacious design which makes it a fabulous venue for family holidays, intimate weddings, parties, or a romantic retreat. Only a short stroll away from the famed beach, shopping, restaurants, bars and clubs in the area; it is the perfect base to get your groove on.
Villa Coco Groove is found down a small road along the side of The Oberoi hotel in the heart of Seminyak, a stroll away from the most fashionable district in Bali. Here you’ll find fine dining establishments like Ku Dé Ta, Blossom, La Lucciola and Sarong as well as some of the islands most popular (and more affordable) restaurants like Trattoria and Rumours. Jalan Laksmana, the nearest main road, is home to numerous restaurants serving almost every cuisine in the world, plus with many of the islands top designers opening boutiques on this strip now, there really is something for everyone. Villa Coco Groove is also only a 15 minute walk to renowned spa Bodyworks and five minutes to Seminyak beach, which boasts spectacular sunsets and surf breaks.
About Seminyak A few kilometres northwest of Kuta, Seminyak is a hip and happening district which has long been the lure of bohemians and jetsetters. This is Bali's late-night party land, laying claim to the highest concentration of independent fine-dining restaurants on the island, including Ku Dé Ta, Living Room, Hu'u, La Lucciola, Sarong, Métis and Sardine. Seminyak also boasts a plethora of chic cocktail bars, exciting nightclubs, sumptuous spas and fashionable boutiques. Seminyak Beach is the place where the local and expat communities gather every evening at sunset. A playground of therich, the famous and the bon vivants, the vibrant nightlife and luxurious accommodation of Seminyak draws a sophisticated crowd of ‘beautiful people', especially Europeans. Nearby sporting facilities include the Canggu Club (of which many holiday villas in the area include guest membership), offering social and leisure amenities, including a state-of-the art gym, a 25m swimming pool and a tennis and squash centre. For horse lovers, three riding stables are located at nearby Canggu – Kuda P, Tarukan, and Bali Equestrian Centre. Nirwana Golf Course – designed by Greg Norman and renowned as one of the best golf courses in Asia – lies about 20km up the coast beside the dramatic, waved-lashed sea temple of Tanah Lot. Seminyak is also convenient for all of Bali's main shops, shopping malls, Waterbom Park, and many tourist attractions.
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.
Two guest bedrooms run along one side of the villa's large one level ‘L’ shaped structure. They are almost identical in design; both with queen beds, polished concrete floors and high ceilings under the alang alang (thatched) roof. During the day they look out onto the coconut grove, whilst at night the solid wood doors ensure total privacy. Private gardens form the outdoor part of the open air bathrooms (bathtubs and showers) with wood decked floors and pebbled walls. The bathrooms are reached via a large walk-in wardrobe equipped with safe.
Matching the bedroom doors, wood-panelled walls, providing the facia for storage cupboards containing a Bose stereo system, with a CD collection and a docking port for iPods, continue to the kitchen. Large, well-equipped and open air, the kitchen has sleek designed black terrazzo work surfaces and white cupboards. Cool white and stainless steel bar stools pull up to a breakfast bar (sits four). In a clever piece of design, the wood panelling can be pulled across to screen the kitchen and provide privacy when entertaining.
In front of the kitchen is a large open living/dining space with two easy chairs, a round dining table (sits eight) and a rectangular lounge area sunken into the floor, comprising two ‘L’ shaped built-in couches (sits 14). Both living and dining areas look out onto the coconut grove whilst, at the rear, a pond full of carp and lotus flowers stretches the length of the boundary wall and continues out of sight behind the adjacent lounge and master bedroom. Frangipani trees grow behind the pond and beautiful white flamboja flowers hang down from a bamboo structure above.
The lounge houses a TV with satellite channels and a DVD player, an antique writing table, a round table (sits four) and its own bathroom. It is air conditioned – as are all the bedrooms. The master bedroom looks out onto the 18m x 4m swimming pool and boats a beautiful antique Chinese queensize bed with matching cupboard and display shelves housing a collection of interesting ornaments and books. A large walk-in wardrobe, equipped with safe and fridge leads to an open-air bathroom similar to those in the guest bedrooms. However in this bathroom the terrazzo bathtub sits adjacent to the pond.
