From hypermodern holiday retreats to traditional villas, <strong>have a look around on the villa pages and talk to the villa specialists<\/strong>. Traditional villas are designed with wood and other natural materials. Often they are tucked in century-old teak wooden houses from Java, called Joglos. There are also modern villas with traditional or tropical touches and villas with striking industrial designs. <strong>You can get a villa that is fully air-conditioned or a villa with an airy open-plan living room<\/strong>.

Will taxi drivers know how to get there? How do you enter the villa if there is no reception like in a hotel? Well, there is not a thing to worry about. In most cases,<strong> a private driver is waiting for you at the airport to take you directly to the villa<\/strong>. Once you\u2019ve arrived at the villa, <strong>the villa concierge is there to welcome you<\/strong> and show you around the property. <strong>You will get a welcome drink and you will meet the staff<\/strong>. You will be provided with important information and phone numbers and you can ask all of your questions. <strong>The villa concierge is available 24\/7 to help, assist and answer questions<\/strong>. The approach is personal and kind, making you feel at home and at ease. Once you\u2019re all settled in, you get to enjoy all the privacy you could wish for and your Bali holiday really kicks off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_private_pool\"><\/span><strong>A private pool<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/sundance-villa-sundance-pool-day-05-630429f0c9e76.jpg\" alt=\"Swimming pool in Sundance Villa \" class=\"wp-image-15257\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Swimming pool in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/en\/villa\/kerobokan\/sundance-villa?utm_source=VB-blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=First-Timers-Guide-to-Staying-in-a-Villa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sundance Villa<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter your budget, every villa in Bali comes with a swimming pool. <strong>A pool just for you<\/strong> and your travel party to enjoy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"No_household_tasks\"><\/span><strong>No household tasks!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"15258\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/villa-lisabella-lisabella-staff-01-62cd43db1efc7.jpg\" alt=\"Staff in Villa Lisabella\" class=\"wp-image-15258\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Staff in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/en\/villa\/seminyak\/villa-lisabella?utm_source=VB-blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=First-Timers-Guide-to-Staying-in-a-Villa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Villa Lisabella<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Every villa comes with housekeeping staff<\/strong> so that you really get a break from everything.

There are big villas in Bali with 5, 6, 7, 8 or even more bedrooms. Some of them have not just 1 but 2 swimming pools and when <strong>sharing the cost of such a villa it ends up being quite an affordable- or even the cheapest option you got<\/strong>.

The natural beauty is overwhelming and the culture is mystical and intriguing.<strong> Bali is a unique place,<\/strong> unlike any other destination in the world. There are sleepy coastal and mountain villages as well as buzzing tourist towns with bars and clubs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for beaches, restaurants, cafes and bars, you will probably want to consider staying in Seminyak or Canggu. If you love waterfalls, white water rafting, temples, museums, yoga and healthy food, you will love Ubud. Uluwatu is the place to be for surfing and endless beaches hidden beneath towering clifftops. Sanur is great for families and if you\u2019re looking for quieter places with beaches where you can go snorkelling and diving, check out Lovina in the north, Peuteran in the West or Amed in the East.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bali is small enough to visit most places on fun day trips<\/strong> from your base villa but you can also stay at several villas across the island. <strong>Do speak to your villa concierge about your wishes.<\/strong> He or she will be happy to share their insights and give more information about the different areas and villas on the island of Bali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enjoy_your_first_villa_holiday\"><\/span><strong>Enjoy your first villa holiday!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, may your villa adventure begin.
