In the heart of Seminyak's upmarket Oberoi district, close to the beach and Bali's top restaurants, this four-bedroom private holiday rental villa with its evocative, white-on-white colonial architecture exudes elegance and plantation-style charm.

Framed by four living and sleeping pavilions, a generous pool forms the inviting centrepiece at Villa Leala.  Bamboo and wicker ‘steamer' chairs, casually draped mosquito nets, brass ceiling fans and white walls ornamented with vintage posters, hark back to an era of exotic travel.  And on hand to guarantee a luxury holiday experience is a capable crew of staff, including a private chef, butlers, housekeepers and a villa manager.

Villa Leala has an enviable position at the centre ofthe upmarket Oberoi area of Seminyak, and is just a five-minute walk from Petitenget Beach and the much-lauded Ku De Ta restaurant and beach club.  Heading out of the villa by foot in either direction will take you past five star hotels and other luxury villas, cafes, restaurants, shops and spas.   A short taxi ride along the same street opens up a wider world of gourmet delights with some of Bali's, and indeed Asia's, best restaurants, bars and beach clubs close by.
