Mandalay Estate

Peace and tranquillity reign supreme at Mandalay Villas, an estate comprising two luxurious holiday homes with a total of 11 bedrooms on Bali’s south-west coast. Picturesque views of endless paddies and the glimmering ocean in the distance, this is a poetic tale that highlights the island’s lush countryside.

Built as a complex with multiple pavilions, even within each villa, the estate marries traditional architecture with modern facilities. Air-conditioned interiors, private pools, open-sided living spaces and manicured lawns make each villa a private haven. Bali’s tropical weather begs for outdoor living and the villas have been designed to maximise on this. Covered patios with comfortable lounge seating, living rooms that open up on one side thanks to sliding glass doors, poolside decks dotted with sun loungers, and a thatched balé in each villa for alfresco meals or relaxing massages, there’s a private corner to be found for each guest staying at Mandalay Villas.

The villas are managed by an efficient team of staff who ensure that your every need is met. They work quietly and tirelessly in the background, never intrusive, keeping the villas in pristine condition. The chef is adept at local as well as western cuisines and can dish out delicious fare to please even the most finicky eaters.

Seven-bedroom Villa Mandalay and four-bedroom Villa Mandalay Dua can be rented separately or be combined for larger groups. This makes the estate a perfect venue for large gatherings, reunions, retreats, and weddings. The villas are private but connected via a secret garden path, enabling easy access. With facilities such as a private six-hole pitch and putt golf course, a Finnish-style sauna overlooking a lotus pond, a mezzanine-level home theatre, and plenty of board games, there’s plenty to keep everyone busy. And if an excursion is on the cards, the fascinating Tanah Lot Sea Temple is only ten minutes away.
