If you have read our blog about deciding on a Private Villa or Resort for your next Bali stay and you aren’t any closer to a decision, maybe a BALI RESORT WITH PRIVATE VILLAS WITHIN is what you are looking for. You will have all of the privacy and space of a villa, with all the facilities of a resort-like large swimming pool, multiple restaurants and a kids club. It’s genius!

This option is definitely a little pricier than your standard resort room, but often there are extra benefits included like club lounge access and butler service, and maybe even room for family and friends. It’s sure to be the perfect setting for a memorable Bali holiday with pretty much everything you can think of being offered in one place.

At our favourite French-inspired Nusa Dua resort, they have 1 and 2-bedroom pool access villas. The 1-bedroom villas start at a lavish 88m squared and the spacious 2-bedroom villas are 175m  squared. They include a private terrace, plunge pool, living room, marble bathroom with rain shower, separate bathtub and butler service. Both also give you access to Club Millésime lounge and club benefits. With 17 sophisticated private villas on the beachfront property, the Sofitel group knows how to make your stay exceptional. 

The Sofitel has a range of fabulous food and beverage outlets, including one of our favourite Sunday brunches, French-themed of course,  and a kids club making it holiday heaven for both grown-ups and kids.
