A beachfront haven in Candidasa, on the eastern coast of Bali, Villa Sanika is a dream destination for the family with three bedrooms, private gardens and pool, and expansive terrace overlooking the ocean. The beach is right on your doorstep and the villa provides two kayaks as well that you can take out on the water. This privately-ensconced beach villa is spread over two floors and upstairs, a wraparound terrace allows unending views of the ocean, the pool/garden, and Mount Agung towards the back. The location is ideal as it is quiet and close enough to popular places.
Three bedrooms, air-conditioned, are found at Villa Sanika with impeccable interiors, tasteful décor, and modern comforts. The master bedroom downstairs is wired with a 32-inch flat-screen TV, Wi-Fi, and plush mattresses. Two bedrooms are located upstairs with access to the terrace while the master suite is located downstairs with access to the pool area. Sophisticated and tasteful, the bedrooms cater to all your needs offering you a sanctuary to retreat to after a tiring day outside. Ensuite bathrooms come with luxurious fittings and fixtures, necessary amenities, and more. The master bathroom features an exquisite bathtub for a tranquil experience.
The spacious outdoor area at Villa Sanika features a full-sized, 10-metre swimming pool that glistens under the sun. Bordering the swimming pool is the wooden deck with swing chairs and sunbeds for lounging. The lush gardens flank the other side of the pool with tropical plants, tall trees, and lotus ponds. There is even a traditional Balinese stone temple where offerings are made once a year. Upstairs, you have several lounge areas on the terrace and this makes for a nice spot for evening drinks while gazing at the ocean.
The charming living area is on the ground floor with glass doors that slide open to the garden where you have additional rattan chairs. The living room is air-conditioned with a sectional sofa, coffee table, and an entertainment console with a flat-screen TV and a DVD player. The stylish interiors are elevated with the sunlight that streams indoors. You can enjoy the fresh air if you choose to leave the doors open. The living room is open-plan and open-concept, a characteristic feature of a tropically-modern home.
The six-seater dining table stands by the lounge with another set of doors with access to the pool and garden. While the room is flooded with sunlight and fresh air, you can relish a delicious feast with your friends and family. A guest kitchen with modern appliances and all necessary amenities is located in the corner for your exclusive use. The granite counters and wooden cabinets along with state of the art appliances like a Nespresso machine make this just as well-equipped as your private kitchen.
From 2 sea kayaks to a staff kitchen for meal prep, Villa Sanika is extraordinary when it comes to guest comforts. You can choose to prepare your own meals or request the staff to delight you with local flavours. The staff can help with recommendations on where to go around Bali and they can even make bookings on your behalf. Beach trips, adventures, excursions, and rice field visits can be arranged. Indulge in a private massage right at the villa if you so desire. Some of these services are charged additionally.
Whether you decide to stay back at the villa and enjoy the many sunsets over Candidasa Bay or if you venture to explore the area, each experience has its own perks. The villa is nestled between two popular resorts, Amankila and Alila Manggis, and Andre Spa is only 200-metres away. Visit Tengenan traditional village to experience local living and you may even rent a car to travel to other areas like Ubud and Seminyak.
