After I went again to the Island of the Gods for the fifth time, I wished to do it a bit in a different way. I’d all the time stayed in hostels, and as soon as I went for a girls’s retreat, however this time, I wished to place down some (momentary) roots and keep in a villa with my household.
A spot that was simply ours, and that felt extra like a house.
However on such an enormous island with a lot to see, which spot is finest? I believe I’ve discovered it, you guys. That is Villa Kerang Sue in Pererenan, Bali:
The Villa
The Villa Kerang Sue is new development within the space simply north of Canggu, Bali, which you could have heard of for its well-known surf, cafes with what can solely be described as Instagram-worthy meals, and a few pretty seaside golf equipment.
I wished a spot the place I may simply unwind and luxuriate in our personal pool, have loads of area for each us dad and mom and our kiddo to have our personal rooms, and it was a bonus that it even had an workplace (since I work on the highway), and a big, expansive front room and kitchen space.
Though cooking isn’t sometimes on my thoughts in Southeast Asia, you would all the time have a chef come and prepare dinner for you. It’s fairly cheap in a spot like Bali, and the beautiful property supervisor at Villa Kerang Sue could make nearly any request potential.
Or, when you wish to prepare dinner your personal breakfast or simply have the choice to make a few of your personal meals, there’s a big grocery retailer inside strolling distance of the villa, which is totally stocked with a blender, espresso makings, tea, water filter, and full-sized fridge.
The 2 rooms every have their very own air con items and bogs, making it excellent for 2 {couples} to share the villa, or a household of 4.
If you happen to’re touring with a child in Bali, it labored properly for us to have our journey crib with mosquito web alongside, in addition to his moveable excessive chair and gentle service, since strollers don’t actually work properly wherever in Bali (although we nonetheless use a small stroller on the airport!)
The toilet in the principle bed room is so large, I believe most of my bedrooms have paled as compared. Plus, the bath is so pretty!
For me, lighting can be vital. The way in which the villa has been constructed is genius, with partitions across the property which have area for an atrium round every window and door, making a shiny and ethereal ambiance whereas sustaining privateness.
Lastly, your entire wall in the principle room opens as much as the yard and pool with the rice terrace view. You’ll be able to select to maintain it closed, however nonetheless get all the sunshine from the glass doorways, or open it up fully.
The Space
It’s exhausting to choose only one place to remain in Bali. It’s a big island with legendary visitors, so wherever you decide, you’ll need to be sure that there’s loads to do proper round there. When you have the time, I’m keen on spending a couple of days in Ubud (Capella Ubud was phenomenal, however too dear for a full week) to see these well-known rice terraces and waterfalls, then transferring coastal to have seaside entry.
I wished to be close to to Canggu, however not so close to that it felt crowded and hectic throughout us. Pererenan has a bit extra of a relaxed ambiance, however with simple, fast entry to Canggu. We visited one of many extra well-liked seaside golf equipment there and would use Seize Taxi to get meals every now and then, however I used to be glad to not really be based mostly there.
What I cherished most had been the rice terraces throughout the villa, each in entrance of the pool, and throughout the road was a good bigger space. It was so peaceable, and ideal for a golden hour stroll.
There are additionally loads of scrumptious cafes within the space. My favourite for breakfast was cafe Noah, which is a few ten minute stroll away.
Ultimate Ideas on Villa Kerang Sue
In addition to wanting one thing peaceable, I additionally wished it to be a straightforward keep that was clear and enjoyable.
We hadn’t even anticipated to have the villa cleaned every day, however every day, Made made positive it was spotless. The supervisor, Rita, was additionally obtainable through Whatsapp if we ever wanted something. It’s actually the service that makes a spot, and this villa has consideration to element down pat.
It’s additionally a female-owned villa by my fellow journey running a blog pal, Alex Baackes, which made it all of the extra of a delight for us to remain there.
It’s a comparatively new rental however the evaluations already converse for themselves. Like me, everybody appears to adore it. You’ll be able to e book it straight right here to avoid wasting on reserving charges as properly! IMHO, it’s a fairly reasonably priced possibility for the way good it’s, and if 4 individuals are sharing, it’s even cheaper.
We cherished our week there, and wouldn’t hesitate to remain once more.
