A villa committed to eco-friendly practices, healthy lifestyle and giving back to the community.

As spiritual souls with environmentally and community-aware leanings and a thirst for local culture, this one-of-a-kind villa has our name all over it. Villa Hansa (no coincidence it’s named after the Goddess of Knowledge) offers visitors so much more than just another Balinese deluxe villa (although the design is pretty gorgeous too). The devoted staff, headed up by Eddie Murphy clone and ever-smiling manager, Asmara, sustain the Hansa philosophy when the owners are away. As the villa’s spiritual advisor, Asmara is amazingly knowledgeable about Balinese culture and traditions, he was happy to divulge all over dinner and accompany us to a traditional Hindu ceremony in the local village. If you’re lucky enough to stay during a full or new moon (like we did), you also get a rare opportunity to watch Hindu priests bless the property. Staff, too, went out of their way to introduce us to daily Balinese life: teaching us how to make traditional palm leaf offerings and Indonesian delicacies in the kitchen – activities that the children really enjoyed.

And it’s refreshing to find a villa where the owners are committed to eco-friendly practices, a healthy lifestyle and giving back to the community. These surfing and yoga devotees support local organic farmers, practice recycling in the kitchens and insist on biodegrable household cleaning. We also learnt about their wonderful trust fund, the Hansa Foundation, set-up to educate local children in traditional culture, arts, music and the environment.

We thought that Villa Hansa would be ideal for groups and, as the bedrooms are on the compact side (with romantic four-poster beds), particularly suitable for groups of couples.

Highlights

It was the smallest of details – like herbal incense hand-picked to enhance the day’s vibe – that greatly contributed to our spiritually enhancing and rejuvenating stay. Loved the tasty, organic food (don’t miss Made’s health-giving smoothies at breakfast!), Hindu rituals and full-on peacefulness, from bathing under the stars in outdoor stone bathtubs to drinking in the rice-field views from the bedroom porch – armed, naturally, with a sundowner.

Surprises

There are three resident dogs here, but if requested, these can be excluded from the grounds during your stay. Some might find just one TV/DVD player and a lack of electronic devices and games a tad limiting and, compared to other villas, Hansa isn’t so kid-friendly: some essentials, like baby high chair and car seat, are not provided.

  • Beautiful bathrooms and kitchen
  • Spiritually uplifting
  • Pool stares off into jungle

    We loved our stay at the villa. This was our first time to Bali and it made quite an impression. Our family is looking forward to coming back again someday. We had our family of 5 (with 3 teenage daughters) plus my retired parents. The main living area was big and comfortable and decorated beautifully. The bedrooms were all lovely and were very roomy.
    The bathrooms tended to have a few insects, but was expected since they are outdoor bathrooms.
    The staff was amazing and catered to our every wish. We felt like they were family by the end of our week. We also enjoyed having masseuses come to give us poolside massages.
    The pool and poolside area was gorgeous and we enjoyed it every day.

    We enjoyed our stay at Villa Hansa. It is a nice and charming villa in a quite location. The staff is very polite and made us feel at home. However, in terms of location, it is a little too far away from the beach and traffic is horrible! But in an overall, it is definitly value for money.

    Great pool and deck area. Bedrooms and bathrooms very comfortable. Living area a little basic and needs up dating and needs some audio equipment. Staff pleasant and helpful but could do with a little more finesse - Needs some signage, very hard for taxis to find.
    Over all good value.
