UMA SANTAI PERERENAN

Tucked away on a quiet lane in the laid-back neighbourhood of Canggu, Uma Santai is a beautifully designed seven bedroom villa that draws on Japanese minimalism and Balinese warmth in equal measure. Polished marble floors, contemporary teak furniture and a calming, subdued colour palette set the tone throughout, while a central garden Zen oasis with bonsai trees and stepping stones gives the whole property a genuine sense of serenity that is rare to find.

The seven bedrooms are spread across two floors, four king rooms and three twin rooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, air conditioning and walk-in wardrobe. Several rooms feature semi open-air showers that bring the outdoors in beautifully, and the ground floor master opens directly to the garden and pool through floor-to-ceiling glass doors. Upstairs, a comfortable lounge area gives guests a quieter spot to retreat to away from the main living spaces below.

The open plan living and dining area is generous and bright, flowing naturally out to a large outdoor dining terrace and a 13-metre pool surrounded by lush tropical planting. A fully equipped kitchen, BBQ facilities and a rooftop lounge round out what is a genuinely well-considered villa for larger groups. A private spa room on site is a lovely bonus for those wanting to build a little wellness into the holiday without going anywhere at all.

With warm and attentive staff, a complimentary daily breakfast and easy access to Pererenan Beach and the cafes and restaurants of Canggu, Uma Santai is a brilliant choice for families and groups wanting space, style and a great location all in one.
