Villa Luxury Kakatua (which means cockatoo) is a hidden gem for families and friends seeking a relaxed and comfortable holiday at an affordable price. Located right next door to sister Villa Kedidi, this four-bedroom villa is the epitome of simple luxury. The main two-storey pavilion houses the master suite, one guest bedroom, the living area and the kitchen. Adjacent to this is the dining balé, and to the far side of that the other two guest bedrooms lie side by side below a thatched roof. Each room faces the lagoon-style pool and lush gardens enabling guests to enjoy the peace and tranquillity from every angle, while those wishing to embrace the spiritual side of Bali can observe daily offerings being made to the gods at the villa’s very own garden temple.

Overlooking the pool, the open-sided living area is a great place to unwind or watch a movie on the comfortable red sofas cooled by ceiling fans and the natural sea breeze. Decorated with an array of Indonesian artefacts and antiques this room evokes vivid images of ‘old’ Bali. The delightful poolside balé is the ideal place to soak up the atmosphere or indulge in a massage or spa treatment. If a suntan is your goal, then kick back on one of the poolside loungers, order an ice-cold drink, relax and enjoy. Perfect for kids, the villa has everything you need from high chairs, baby cots and toddler-safe cutlery to pool fencing and swimming aids. The warm and hospitable staff are excellent with children and the in-house chefs are well-equipped to cater for the fussiest of eaters. Knowing the family is well cared gives adults more time to relax. Chill out in the poolside balé, pamper yourself with a spa treatment or enjoy a sunset cocktail at the 5-star Hotel Tugu next door – the list is endless. And for those who wish to venture further afield, a complimentary car and driver are at your disposal. Truly your home-away-from-home, Villa Kakatua will embrace you with its character and charm. It’s no surprise that guests are eager to return year after year.
