Villa Mannao

Villa Mannao is an amazing discovery, nestled in the peaceful rice-fields of Kerobokan, South Bali, just a 10 minute drive from the centre of trendy and happening Seminyak. This 8 bedroom holiday retreat is a dream come true for large families or groups of friends looking for a tropical paradise on the island of the Gods, welcoming you with luxury, beauty, traditional charm and 2 swimming pools in the lush green exotic garden. There are two spacious Joglo style living pavilions, open to the expansive garden that blends in beautifully with the emerald rice-fields surrounding the estate. A breathtaking sight to take in while the sense of openness and the 'back to nature feel', creates the right ambiance for a lovely holiday spend together with your loved ones.

The living and dining area's are found in two separate Joglo style pavilions, both completely crafted out of wood with a matching timber interior design, creating an elegant, rustic feel while the expansive garden that stretches out to the rice paddies, gives an allaround peaceful ambiance.

The Living Area
Perpendicular to the 20-meter swimming pool is the breezy, spacious and high-ceilinged living pavilion. Forming the living area are cushioned, wooden benches and chairs as well as large couches where you can all converge for moments of family or friendly bonding. On one side of this pavilion is a bar where you can also gather for cocktails or after-dinner drinks. On the other side of this pavilion is a spa room where you can relieve sore muscles with traditional Balinese treatments. Adjoining the living pavilion is the cool, equally spacious and high-ceilinged dining pavilion with a dining area that can accommodate up to 14. Here, you can all have your fill of authentic Balinese specialties – as well as foreign fare – freshly cooked by the onsite chef at the villa’s kitchen behind the dining pavilion.

Everywhere there is interesting traditional art-work to be admired, whether you are enjoying a delicious meal at the dining table, illuminated by an impressive chandelier that is suspended from the high traditional ceiling or sitting at one of the communal or more cosy seating area's enriched by oriental carpets and stylish lamps. The garden features flowering plants and exotic trees combined with massive hand-carved statues. The 2 swimming pools look very inviting with comfy sun-loungers around it and there is also a gazebo where you can chill and enjoy the rice-field view before the BBQ garden party starts. There is also a private spa to rejuvenate yourself with a relaxing Balinese massage.

The 8 bedrooms all have a great garden view through their full length glass doors that slide open to private verandas where you can slowly wake up with a nice cup of freshly brewed coffee in the morning. Inside the rooms are furnished with deluxe king-size or twin-beds and modern amenities including AC and flat-screen televisions with DVD-players. Each villa suite has has a private en-suite bathroom with not only an indoor rain-shower but also one in the outdoors for a real tropical showering experience where you can rinse off while gazing at Bali's breathtaking starlit sky. The master suite is found in a stand-alone bungalow, adjoined by an extra twin bedded room, perfect for those travelling with children. The en-suite boasts a large bathtub. There is a also a separate bunk-bedded room for the kids to have sleep over parties every night. This room doubles as a TV room, fitted with comfy sofa's facing a massive flat-screen TV.
