Tucked down a small lane just behind Bintang Supermarket, on Jalan Raya Seminyak, lies the family-friendly Villa Mahkota. This large 5-bedroom Seminyak holiday villa rental offers comfortable accommodation amid a traditional Balinese pavilion-style resort layout. An extensive outdoor garden with a large private pool sits next to the outdoor poolside bar, a recipe for lots of fun in the sun. This is the perfect retreat for family and friends wanting a special Bali getaway, you could be excused for never wanting to leave the villa your entire trip.

Outdoor and pool area

The expansive tropical pool runs straight down the centre of the garden with traditional thatched roofed pavilions on either side. Two twin daybeds, which recline, have chunky cushions and padded headrests with a parasol for shade in the middle of the day. A rattan table set is prepared in front of the outdoor bar with stools for guests to pass the time as they enjoy cold drinks. Koi ponds, vibrant frangipani trees and lush green grass complete a fantastic tropical setting. There is also a BBQ for those family BBQ nights.

The living area

The air-conditioned living pavilion features soaring ceilings that can become an el-fresco setting by simply sliding back the large glass doors. The natural stone flooring is a highlight, and the walls and sideboards are decorated with beautiful art and ornaments. Large antique chairs, almost day bed in size, offer a comfortable spot for guests to relax and converse. The kitchen is loaded with modern appliances, and a breakfast bar features matching timber stools, a table setting, and a sideboard, all in soft pastel aqua. Another air-conditioned TV room has large built-in sofas with colourful orange cushions, great for family and friends to watch a newly purchased DVD on your travels around Seminyak that day. A more formal dining area features an open-air space with a calming water feature, ceiling fans and a natural solid timber table.

The master bedroom

Guests of the master suite are spoilt with a private verandah housing a wonderful daybed and table setting. The king-size bed is draped with sheer netting, and the beautiful stone floors continue through the bedrooms with ample wardrobe space and an en-suite bathroom to die for with a huge soaking bathtub in the open air with a beautiful Buddha wall feature and natural stones.

The guest bedrooms

The guest bedrooms are air-conditioned with spacious king-size beds and semi-outdoor en-suite bathrooms that feature monsoon showers with tropical plants and water features. The room with a queen-size bed for kids that connects to the master suite shares the master suite’s en-suite bathroom.
