Umah Tenang, Seseh, Bali, Indonesia
You can’t go wrong with a Bali villa if you’re in for a relaxing holiday.
Umah Tenang in the quiet village of Seseh has four bedrooms and living spaces spread across two floors, and a 20-metre (65-foot)-long swimming pool.
From Ngurah Rai International Airport, Umah Tenang is an hour’s drive past some of Bali’s bustling streets, so be sure to take in the sights on the way.
You’ll know when you’re in Seseh village when there’s nothing but rice fields to your left and right.
The villa itself is a five-minute stroll to the nearby Seseh Beach, which has black sand and really gorgeous sunsets – bring your cameras!
Villa Mary, Canggu, Bali
Villa Mary in Canggu, in Bali, features two private swimming pools, one for adults and the other for children.
This five-bedroom, five-bathroom villa is situated on Pererenan beach not far from a small Balinese village and just outside the centre of eclectic resort village Canggu.
At Villa Mary, the five en suite bedrooms give you the choice of waking up to the beaches of Bali or the surrounding rice paddies.
It sits within the Pantai Lima Estate, featuring five different villas, which gives you access to shared facilities such as a tennis court, gym and seminar room.
Better than that though, the villa comes with two private swimming pools (one for the adults and one for the children) and a jacuzzi. The sunset views are to die for.
Villa Manggala, Canggu
Villa Manggala is a three-bedroom stone property located about 0.5km from Berawa Beach in Canggu, Bali.
Villa Manggala is a stone Joglo-style villa surrounded by lush greenery. Consisting of three bedrooms, a beautiful sunny garden, a private swimming pool and an open-air living space, this charming villa is a wonderful holiday retreat for everyone.
Admire the views from the pool, enjoy the breathtaking Balinese sunset from the bedrooms and take advantage of its convenient location, only 0.5km (540 yards) from Berawa Beach.
Villa Nedine, Canggu
The four-bedroom Villa Nedine, in Canggu, Bali, which is located only 500 metres from Echo Beach.
Villa Nedine is a four-bedroom villa with ocean views that boasts a contemporary, environmentally friendly design and features bespoke Balinese furnishings.
It is conveniently located in the heart of Canggu, Bali, only 500 metres from Echo Beach, and is within walking distance of bars, restaurants and boutique shops.
Eco-luxury elements have been chosen to outfit the villa, such as recycled materials from the island and the lush gardens that surround the property.
Villa Sin Sin, Kerobokan, Bali
The two-bedroom Villa Sin Sin, in Kerobokan, on the island of Bali.
Three individual villas make up Hong Kong-based artist Sin Sin Man’s compound in Kerobokan in Bali.
It’s so easy to fall in love with how the villa puts luxury at the forefront of the experience and one of our favourite ways to get acquainted with this is to see what the bathrooms are like.
The two-bedroom, two bathroom villa, for example, has a semi-open-air bathtub and shower patio.
Every villa has an outdoor swimming pool, of course. In the afternoons, we recommend enjoying teatime or a siesta in the shady poolside bale.
Baan Chao Lay, Lipa Noi, Koh Samui, Thailand

Baan Chao Lay, a secure gated property (to keep the children safely inside) in Lipa Noi, on the Thai island of Koh Samui, is all about relaxation, while the youngsters can explore the area.
The villa has an expansive beachfront and is spread over three separate pavilions, featuring a central courtyard, large swimming pool, jacuzzi, and open-plan living spaces.
Each bedroom comes with its own garden for the ultimate in privacy. We particularly love the beachfront Sala, which is the perfect space for an alfresco dinner or a relaxing spot for those seeking respite from the afternoon heat.
Baan Leelawadee, Namuang, Koh Samui
Baan Leelawadee on the northern shore of the island of Koh Samui in Thailand.
Sitting on Koh Samui’s northern shore, far from the noise, but close to all the action, Baan Leelawadee is part of the prestigious Dhevatara Residence.
The modern villa has a private saltwater pool and direct access to a quiet stretch of white-sand beach.
Further down that same beach (about five minutes by car) is the bustling Bophut area, where restaurants, shops and the must-visit Fisherman’s Village is located.
We love how comfortable, yet luxurious Baan Leelawadee is. And the bathtub in the master en suite – it’s heavenly.
Ban Kinaree, Bophut, Koh Samui

When you need privacy and want to stay high up among the trees, Ban Kinaree, another villa in the island of Koh Samui, delivers.
This hillside villa in the heart of the hills of Bophut, on Koh Samui, is just a 10-minute drive from Fisherman’s Village.
With a total of five bedrooms, the getaway is sprawled across three separate pavilions and levels, featuring a 17-metre swimming pool, an alfresco dining area, and breathtaking views overlooking the bay and the villa’s lush landscaped garden.
We love Ban Kinaree for jet-setting families searching for a luxurious and quiet retreat.
Motsamot, Choeng Mon, Koh Samui
The central pool and gardens of the five-bedroom Motsamot villain Choeng Mon on the island of Koh Samui.
This five-bedroom villa, in the village of Choeng Mon, in Koh Samui, is set around a central pool – which is great for children – and surrounded by soothing garden views.
It’s been built in traditional Thai style, with warm wooden interiors and traditional peaked roofs.
The pavilions are all laid out on one level. There’s plenty of room for everyone to have their own space, great open-air living areas for meals and relaxation, and separate pavilions so you can escape whenever you need to for a bit of alone time.
