Villa Anam is composed of Villa Anamba and Villa Anambo: two conjoined, equal-sized villas which together work brilliantly for two families or large groups of friends. Better yet, it’s part of a small, gated enclave on a residential street in the heart of Bali’s glamorous Seminyak area.

The facilities here are outstanding. You get a tiered cinema room and a rooftop yoga (or cocktail) terrace. You get your own gym. You get two long swimming pools, lined by a barbecue area, decks, daybeds, outdoor lounges, palm trees and plant-festooned colonnades. Both villas boast balé gazebos for outdoor eating plus ocean-sized living areas with sofas, bars and dining tables below cathedral ceilings. And both feature traditional Indonesian dark woods and statuary alongside designer lighting and kaleidoscopic modern paintings.

Just as vibrant, every ensuite bedroom offers a TV and DVD player, and the choice of air-conditioning or ceiling fans. There are twin rooms for children or platonic friends, while a pair of huge master bedrooms featuring outdoor bathtubs.

A dedicated staff team will tend to every need – be it housekeeping, babysitting, transport (with ample parking available too) or drinks. The chef will cook delicious international or Indonesian meals on request, tailored to dietary requirements. Ask your butler for tips about Seminyak’s best restaurants, galleries or shops, or about the sandy surf shores – from quiet Petitenget to upmarket Seminyak itself – and chic beach bars in strolling distance.
