In Sanskrit, the word Kavya means poetry. Just like a masterfully-crafted set of verses, Villa Kavya is a masterfully laid out luxury residence. Designed by noted Indonesian architect Sekar, the villa is a contemporary interpretation of traditional Balinese structures and amenities. Yet, even with such modern twists, the authenticity of the tropical island living experience is preserved. What is more striking, though, about the villa is the artistic balance between earth and water as well as open airy spaces and decorative fire. Truly, in its architecture, design and interiors, Villa Kavya has elevated vacation living to an art.

At the edge of the expansive, well-kept lawn are the villa’s two swimming pools – one is a 17-meter lap pool and the other is a plunge or kiddie pool. Separating the two is a bale which, instead of the usual mattress, has a wooden hammock where you can lie and be lulled to sleep by the balmy breeze. The pool area also has a wooden deck with cushioned pool beds where you can stretch out and get some sun.
On one end of the long, spacious, semi-open central pavilion is the living area. Around the large couches you can all gather for some lively interaction. A few steps away is the dining area with a set up that can comfortably seat eight. Here, scrumptious and satisfying meals – prepared by the resident chef at the fully-equipped, ultra-modern kitchen – will be served and savored. At the other end of the pavilion is the Tv room which offers you two kinds of views – on the big, flat-screen Tv or through the large window that looks out to the pool area.
The villa has four bedrooms. The spacious master bedroom occupies the entire upper level and opens out to a balcony overlooking the garden, the pool and the distant landscape. All three bedrooms on the ground floor have one common interesting feature – semi-open or outdoor bathrooms complete with dual sinks, showers and large bathtubs. One of these bedrooms, however, opens out to a spacious and furnished covered terrace right at the edge of the lawn. Here, all of you can, as well, converge for after-dinner drinks and cozy, winding down conversation.
Aside from the in-house chef, included in the villa’s staff are housekeeping attendants, gardeners, a pool attendant, a technician as well as security personnel. A chauffeur-driven car is also made available to you for eight hours every day of your stay.
From Villa Kavya, the beaches of Canggu aren’t that far away. If saltwater swimming is your thing, there’s Batu Balong. But if you’re into surfing, head off to Echo or Mengening Beach. If you’d like to try out yoga, visit Serenity Eco Guesthouse or Desa Seni. You also must get a taste of the foodie scene. Must-try places are Deus Ex Machina and Crate. For cocktails or after-dinner drinks, check out Old Man’s Bar at Old Man Beach or Sand Bar at Echo Beach.
9.6/10Every meal prepared by Bagus wowed us! We had a BBQ for our last night, which was absolutely wonderful. The Villa is much more than expected. Highly recommend it for family get-to-gether. My only minor comment is the noise from the road. The staff is amazing!
10/10From the moment we arrived at this tranquil location we knew it was going to be special. The staff were extremely helpful and welcomed us like family. The sprawling villa is extremely impressive and very hard to leave. Being only ten minutes away from the buzzing streets of Seminyak was perfect as we felt relaxed, but close enough to head to the shops for some retail therapy. Perfect for families and friends who want to relax and enjoy the best Bali has to offer. The bedrooms are all wonderful and the outdoor bathrooms divine. I would recommend this villa to everyone and anyone and will be back soon. The only negative is that we had the villa for the first week of our holiday and that the next hotel we stayed at was never going to live up to the "Villa Kavya experience". Thank you to all of the wonderful staff including Gusti to the incredible chef and Bagus, Wayan the driver who was extremely accommodating and helpful and the lovely Melan. Sorry if I missed anyone.
9.2/10we really enjoyed our stay with Kavya. Big and clean pool, plenty of space for 8 of us. Having in house chef is a real treat, we love the chef cooking. Staffs are discreet and readily available to tend to our needs. Thanks to the villa crew who made our stay so enjoyable.
10/10One of the most beautiful contemporary and comfortable place that I’ve ever stayed. Bagus made us very special and tasty dishes. He was very innovative with magical fingers. Loved every meal in villa. General Staff was an excellent manager always trying to help us and make everything very convenience. A pleasant smile and a lovely person. Excellent Staff, Good Food, Excellent Villa. We would like to stay here again.
10/10Happy New Year to you, Petra, Eric and Team at Bali Luxury Villas! The Leos had a fantastic stay at Villa Kavya, and we were looked after very well by your staff at the Villa. Thank you again for organizing everything and we look forward to coming back to Bali again, and definitely recommend your Villas to our international friends and clients.
9.6/10Dear Dian. Sorry for the slow reply but been very busy. We would love to say that we really thought that the staff were great and very good and kind. The food by Ketut was really good and we loved all our meals. The villa was always clean. the only thing that it could do was for a better equipped (pots , kettle etc) as Its nice when the staff are not there to make your tea and coffee and if you have small kids to cook for them as we would wake early, and also if you are going for family's with kids to also get better equipped (toys,Etc) thats all and we really enjoyed the villa Kavya. thank you to all the staff and your help.
