Situated just metres from the beach, Villa Sidonie is a contemporary-styled, five-bedroom holiday home overlooking the Indian Ocean. The property has been perfectly designed for indoor and outdoor living, with a 17 x 5-metre swimming pool, a rooftop sunset terrace, and both air-conditioned and semi-alfresco living and dining areas. Here, as well as being lulled by the sounds of the ocean and bathing under the stars, guests can enjoy sophisticated facilities, caring staff, delicious meals prepared by the in-house chef and the service of a car and driver. A traditional village setting offers the opportunity to witness daily rural life.

Villa Sidonie lies at the edge of the small seaside village of Seseh, separated from the dramatic black-sand beach and roaring ocean only by a tiny road and a creeper-covered sandbank. Along the beach road are a handful of other private villas and a walk through the village will take you past local homes, a couple of warungs (local cafes) and some basic local grocery stores. A hundred metres along the beach is Seseh temple where fascinating ceremonies are regularly held. For shopping and nightlife, the villa's driver is on hand to whisk guests to Seminyak, or to the ever-expanding restaurant scene in nearby Canggu, or to Tanah Lot, where the spectacular and much photographed Tanah Lot sea temple awaits.
