Aman Villas at Nusa Dua

The place

In Nusa Dua, a gathering of large wooden pavilions in the manner of traditional Balinese architecture, with gardens weaving through the grounds.

Six villas only, from two bedrooms to six, each with a large private pool. Pitched rattan ceilings, refined timber furniture — the vocabulary of local homes, carefully kept. Each villa comes with two butlers and a private chef.

There is no restaurant or bar on the property, and none is missed: the chef cooks Indonesian or international dishes wherever and whenever asked. The Bali National Golf Club sits just beside, its driving range complimentary for guests.
