Tucked away in the back streets of Seminyak, is Villa Phinisi. I booked this villa for my 30th birthday as you have the option of 1-5 bedrooms. The villa comes as a complete unit, with a pool and completely private entertaining and grassed area, no matter how many rooms are utilised.

The pool is definitely the highlight of this villa. A beach style entry was perfect to float in to keep cool while still catching some sun, while the glass wall at the other end connects the pool to the living area. This kept us busy for hours as we took hundreds of underwater photos!

Inside the villa there are remnants of a Phinisi boat and various Balinese artifacts which compliment the villa beautifully. Each room is air conditioned and has its own bathroom and toilet, making it perfect for many groups to holiday comfortably together.

We spent 4 nights at the villa and couldn’t have been happier. The staff were extremely helpful. We organised a day trip to Ubud, airport transfers and lunch runs!

We arranged breakfast for two of the mornings and a dinner one night. These were all at an extra cost but were extremely well priced and the food was delicious.
