Villa Yo-Yo is a peaceful 5-bedroom oasis nestled in the heart of the Batubelig area, less than a kilometre from the beach on Bali’s south-western coast. Encompassed by rice fields, and just a few metres from two charming little ‘warungs’ (local restaurants), the setting is quiet and tranquil, within a safe, upmarket neighbourhood that is home to some of the classiest Bali villa on the island. The beach is renowned for its world-class surf breaks and panoramic coastline views.
The trendy Seminyak area, meanwhile, with its glamorous lifestyle and wide choice of internationally acclaimed restaurants – including the famous ‘KuDéTa’, ‘Warisan’, ‘Living Room’, ‘Hu’u’ and ‘La Lucciola’ – together with a plethora of chic cocktail bars, exciting nightclubs, sumptuous spas and fashionable boutiques, is only a few minutes’ drive away.
This region is the most visited part of the island for both tourism and business purposes. This Bali villa is a mere thirty minutes’ drive from the international airport, and convenient for all of the main tourist attractions and shopping malls. Easily accessible sporting amenities include a choice of spectacular championship golf courses, the neighbouring ‘Canggu Club’, tennis facilities, horseback riding, dive schools, sailing cruises and much more.
Guests will enter this Bali villa Yo-Yo through an impressive pair of towering antique doors. Boasting contemporary tropical architecture, a fresh white décor, and custom-made dark wood furniture, the property comprises a spacious 2-storey building with a wrap around terrace, an adjacent single-storey guest pavilion, a swimming pool and two relaxation pavilions set within a huge walled garden complete with coconut palms, flowering trees and tropical shrubs. There is a secure car park outside the main entrance.
