Staying in a villa = privacy and exclusivity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no place like having a home in Bali! Your holiday will be one unforgettable dream when staying in a villa. You have the whole property exclusively for you and your travel party. There are no shared facilities whatsoever, <strong>your villa is your home<\/strong>, and you decide how you want to live and spend your holiday and that is why nothing compares to staying in a private villa in Bali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_You_get_a_private_pool_that_never_closes\"><\/span>2. You get a private pool that never closes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your pool is yours; there is no closing time. If you come home late, you can jump right in if you feel like it. Early birds who like to wake up with the sunrise don\u2019t have to wait for the pool to open. In fact, you can roll out of bed and into the pool (literally at some villas!). Every villa has maintenance staff ensuring the <strong>pool is always clean and clear<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WSN37672-1.jpg\" alt=\"a pool that very closes\" class=\"wp-image-15039\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/en\/villa\/seminyak\/villa-yoga?utm_source=VB-blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=14-things-I-wish-I-knew-before-staying-in-the-villa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Villa Yoga<\/a> in Seminyak<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_A_personal_approach\"><\/span>3. A personal approach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason why you\u2019d never go back to staying anywhere else but a private villa is the staff. At your Bali Villa, you are welcomed with heartwarming smiles by a team of <strong>local Balinese staff<\/strong>. The people in Bali are so sincerely kind and welcoming. They will make you feel right at home, and after a few days, they will start to feel like close friends or family. You can really get to know them if you like and build a bond. People often return to the same villa year after year and meet their Bali family again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Comes_with_a_kitchen\"><\/span>4. Comes with a kitchen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When travelling with kids, you need a kitchen! It just makes everything easier and a lot cheaper. You can cook up something fast and familiar whenever they\u2019re hungry. Kids didn\u2019t eat at the restaurant? You can prepare something at home. <strong>The fridge in your private kitchen<\/strong> is easily stocked with fresh grocery supplies and drinks. Especially for families, this is a deal breaker!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_You_can_get_a_private_chef\"><\/span>5. You can get a private chef!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you really want a break from all daily life tasks, you can also get a private chef at the villa. Breakfast, lunch and dinner + snacks can be taken care of. All you need to do is sit back, share your preferences and munch. <strong>Western, Asian, vegan,<\/strong> you name it. It can all be arranged.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/villa-gauguin-gauguin-dining-03-62837137f36a5.jpg\" alt=\"Villa Gauguin Dining area\" class=\"wp-image-15126\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/en\/villa\/seminyak\/villa-gauguin?utm_source=VB-blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=14-things-I-wish-I-knew-before-staying-in-the-villa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Villa Gauguin<\/a> in Seminyak<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Extra_services_you_only_dreamt_of\"><\/span>6.

You can hire a nanny to out after the little ones. You can even get a private driver to take you on tours and day trips.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Modern_vs_traditional_villas_what_matches_your_style\"><\/span>7. Modern vs traditional villas: what matches your style?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s an entirely different experience! There are sleek modern villas with AC in the living room and full-length glass windows sliding open to the garden and pool areas. There are also traditional wooden villas exuding a rustic, soulful ambience. Do you prefer a lush tropical garden with flowers, ponds, waterfalls and swaying palm trees? Prefer <strong>a big pool with a pool deck<\/strong> where you can dine alfresco-style and have a BBQ? It\u2019s all possible. There are so many different types of villas to choose from. Some are built on the edge of a river gorge, others on towering clifftops or tucked away in the centre of a booming beach town. If you tell us your preferences, we can find you the perfect match!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Related: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Villa_in_nature_vs_villa_with_a_central_location\"><\/span>8.

For those seeking a nature retreat, we recommend heading to the outskirts of Ubud or Sidemen, Amed, Lovina or Pemuteran. There is less noise from motorbikes and more sounds of nature which can be, mind you, very loud too. Nature villas are great if you want to <strong>recharge and relax<\/strong> your entire being.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out this blog to find out more about nature villas vs villas in the center of Bali<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Villas_are_more_affordable_than_hotels_and_resort\"><\/span>9.

In fact, they can be a lot cheaper! Especially if you travel with <strong>a big group or a large family<\/strong> you get amazing value for your money, and it doesn\u2019t break the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_You_can_stay_with_a_big_group\"><\/span>10.
