Villa Location
There are few more lively locations in the world than the revered party destination of Seminyak: a cosmopolitan melee of world-class restaurants and award-winning beach clubs alongside fashionable boutiques and soothing spas. The villa is within easy reach of Jalan Laksmana, the main attraction of the area, where you will find boundless entertainment and frivolity. Ku De Ta, W Hotel and La Lucciola to name but a few of the renowned establishments in the area, with Potatohead Beach Club another vaunted hangout among the hip crowd.
Should the nightlife get the better of you, head seawards and enjoy the delights of the beach which is just 500m away - sunset strolls, adrenalin-fuelled water sports and sedate ocean-front cocktail offerings are all readily available.
No less enticing are the other adventures of the area, with many guests enjoying the delights of Waterbom Park at just 9km away or heading in search of spiritual cleansing at the awe-inspiring Tanah Lot Sea Temple, with its ethereal sunsets and tempestuous surrounds.

Villa Layout
Set across a single-storey, Villa Shambala is a tropical haven of secluded bliss. A high-ceilinged main living area looks out over a huge pool with gratuitous seating spreading between the timber pillars of the Joglo in calming delight. The 19m pool stretches in front, bordered by swaying coconut trees, poolside pavilions and a private spa pavilion nestled-off to one side where guests can enjoy a range of holistic treatments. The modern kitchen and well-equipped media room provide added entertainment for those in-need but we tend to see these remain empty with the inviting surrounds on offer.
The master bedroom houses a queen-sized bed within an exquisitely designed, multi-level wooden pavilion, it’s high ceiling becoming iridescent at night. The secretive bathroom is fringed by frangipani and orchids providing a delightfully soothing bathing experience. The other four guest bedrooms are generously sized with their own open-air bathroom arrangements, teak finishes and sense of luxurious decadence.
