Villa Yoyo 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 properties 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.

The 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 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.

Privacy and security is maintained by an encompassing garden wall. At one end of the pool is a relaxation pavilion, known as a ‘bale bengong’. Furnished with cushions, it is great for chilling out with a book or taking an afternoon nap. A small, 2-storey, rectangular, wooden gazebo, charmingly fashioned in the form of a traditional rice barn – known as a ‘lumbung’ or ‘jineng’ – with a thatched, horseshoe-shaped roof, rests in another part of the garden. It features a lower platform and a staircase leading up to a private, upper room accessed by a Lombok door. This is a fun playhouse for children.
