Villa Hansa
A gentle river and lush rice fields flank the stunning, fully staffed, seven-bedroom Villa Hansa in the peaceful village of Pererenan, south-west Bali. A series of spectacular architectural buildings, including two antique Javanese Joglo houses, have been adapted with contemporary glass and filled with every comfort under an exquisite and rare trapezium roof. Two traditional wooden gladak houses with timber shuttered windows and raised verandas make wickedly fabulous bedrooms. Two swimming pools at opposite ends of the sweeping compound plus multiple private zones create a breathtaking retreat for both families and friend groups all a whisper away from Seminyak.
Villa Hansa is fabulously located for an exciting range of activities to suit all ages and tastes. Chat with the villa manager, who lives locally and is happy to offer suggestions and share his insights about the local places of interest and Balinese culture. You may find yourself invited to a unique and unforgettable Balinese Hindu ceremony.
Meanwhile, here are a few suggestions to get your vacation started. The villa manager will happily arrange to transport and specialist tours too.

- Learn to surf at Echo Beach or Batu Bolong.
- Spend a lazy afternoon at the hip Old Man’s beach bar on Batu Bolong, where local hero DJ’s spin their stuff. It’s great for kids with table tennis and other games.
- The most exclusive Bali trekking tour promises breath-taking vistas and heart-warming encounters while supporting sustainable social change in the once-forgotten villages of Muntigunung. Elite Havens is a proud partner of Muntigunung Community Social Enterprise.
- On Canggu Beach, be sure to visit mystical Hotel Tugu Bali. Bali’s first museum/hotel is studded with priceless Indonesian artworks and antiques and its award-winning spa offers age-old Eastern therapies. If you’re planning a honeymoon, this makes a wonderful first night venue before continuing on with your villa stay.
- While in Bedugul visit the UNESCO listed rice terraces of Jati Luwih and beautiful water temple of Pure Ulun Danau Bratan.
- Feed rescued Sumatran elephants at the superb Elephant Safari Park in the lush mountains of Taro.
- Make the de rigueur pilgrimage to sacred Pura Tanah Lot, one of Bali’s biggest tourist magnets. Perched high on a craggy, wave-lashed rock, this ancient sea temple is best savoured at sunset; be sure to receive a blessing from the Hindu priests.
- Gallop along the beach, or trek through the rice fields and villages of Canggu with Kuda P, a well-established, Australian-owned and operated horse riding stables, catering to all ages and abilities.
- Covering 3.8 hectares of tropical parkland in Kuta, Waterbom Bali has 16 water slides (including The Climax with its 360 degree loop) to entertain the young and the young at heart. A great family day out, but go early to beat the crowds.
