Regardless of choice of accommodation, you can be assured that it comes with the personal level of service from the warm-hearted Balinese people with their intoxicating culture and distinctive style.  The grace in which they extend their hospitality is of course legendary across the world.

The last decade has seen a mushrooming of luxury villa offerings across the island. Each villa with its look and feel, but share in common the Bali Design Style that has evolved into a recognizable style that is emulated around the world.

Defined by elegant interiors, tropical gardens, Balé open-air pavilions, covered verandas or shaded terraces overlooking stunning views over the rolling ocean, dramatic limestone cliffs, or the lush paddy fields, and verdant hillsides. All of this awaits for discovery in Bali.

The Amala Villa & Spa, is no different, and a fine addition to Bali’s growing portfolio of exquisite villas available for a select few discerning clientele.  Situated in Seminyak, Bali’s hippest lifestyle destination, conveniently close to all the major lifetsyle haunts, bars + lounges, restaurants, boutiques and art galleries.

The Amala is the sister-property of the delicious The Balé, near Nusa Dua, one of Bali’s first designer boutique resorts that deliberately took a different approach from the expected Bali look, opting for modern architecture instead.
