Reviews & Testimonials

“My family and I are regular travelers and in the last 12 months have rented high end properties in France and New Zealand. On arrival we were blown away as the property was more impressive than the website. The staff were fantastic and the food prepared was excellent. In a destination like Bali where quality alcohol is sometimes hard to get , the onsite wine list was a welcome suprise. We will be returning to this property in the next 12 months." – Niall via Luxury Retreats.

Villa Keila is a sanctuary of tranquillity and luxury. I visited the villa with 5 girlfriends and we were all blown away by the villa. Given that we had all been Bali on a number of previous holidays, we all agreed that no villa had come close to this one! It is a rare gem!

Villa Keila is centrally located and just a 10 min walk to some great eateries, bars, shops and the beach (should you want to leave the grounds of the villa – which we did not!). Yet the villa is tucked away and off the main road, so you don't hear any road noise, just birds!

The attention to detail is remarkable and everything has been thought of! Sonos system throughout the villa, Nespresso Machine, Wine fridges, beautiful material napkins, the finest bed linens and throws, lovely toiletries, pool floats, bean bags…..the list goes on and on…..We each had a room to ourselves and had ample space to relax and unwind in our rooms and then enjoy all the communal areas which have been designed and laid out exceptionally well. The interior design is so tastefully done and oozes style and sophistication.

The pool is wonderful and huge! We all ended up spending a lot of time relaxing in the pool and on the sun loungers. Every so often the staff would come and ask if they could get us drinks or something to eat! It was heaven! Cold flannels and water was always at hand. We were totally spoilt! The landscaping of the garden has also been given a lot of thought and the frangipani trees are beautiful.

The staff are extremely professional, courteous, happy and service orientated. They were able to offer great local advice and no job or task was an effort, they were always smiling.

The food is fantastic! Some of the best Indonesian food I have ever tasted. We only wish we had eaten more at the villa. Breakfasts were healthy, fresh and beautifully presented and for our lunches we got to savour some of the local, spices and flavours. The quality of the fish and meats was very good which was important to us.

The size of the villa should not be underestimated it is really BIG! As a result I could see it working so well for a few families holidaying together or 4-5 different couples wanting a break away or a family + extended family …..there is ample room for everyone to have their own space and privacy.

To say that his villa ticks all the boxes is a serious understatement! Its exceeds in every way and already we are dreaming about another trip back to the beautiful Villa Keila. – Nonie Mackie, Singapore.

AIRBNB Review: Without a doubt the most amazing house in Bali. The hospitality was incredible, a must if your are looking for the best stay in Bali – Mark Wilson, Australia.

“Keila is the perfect oasis amidst the bustling Seminyak backdrop. The best restaurants and cafes in Bali were right at our door step, as were in-house massages and a 25m lap pool! Arie the villa manager was very attentive, which was helpful given the size of our group. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment spent at Keila!” – JC, Singapore.

For our first family vacation with 6 month old twins, Villa Keila was perfect for us. Right in the heart of Seminyak. Loads of rooms for kids/relatives. The pool was big enough and tons of floaters were available. They also had a ping pong table which we became quite good at playing. The staff, Arie, Wayan And Udi took very good care of us and we will miss them! All the rooms are very clean, the design of the house was well thought out. During Nyepi, we were able to hide out in the media room which was super comfortable with loungers and multiple movies to choose from. When my baby ran out of food, the staff manager prepared steamed and blended spinach and avocado purée which my babies loved. All in all, the staff the house made our first family trip u forgettable. I will definitely bring my kids and family back to Villa Keila and hopefully the same staff will be there. Thanks Villa Keila! – Janet L., Hong Kong.

Every year our family comes together for a holiday and this year we stayed at Keila Villa. It was mind blowing. Staff greeted us with cold towels and drinks and it was straight into the pool for the kids. After years of staying in more traditional ‘Bali-style’ places it was a breath of fresh air to come to this villa. It is totally minimalistic but with every comfort and luxury. The folding glass doors let it be open or closed – ideal for my mother who is a bit old and needs air-conditioned comfort. The rooms are pristine and spread out really well so both of our two families had maximum privacy. The kids adopted the poolroom, where they could also play snooker and table tennis and hang out near the pool. My suite was like an architectural artwork and the bathroom was huge with a full glass wall that captured the sunset. On the ground floor is a home cinema that was a great place to chill out in the AC and watch a movie. I loved that we could watch the kids watching a movie in this area while we had long dinner. Just perfect.

The staff are well trained and totally on the ball. They just get on with everything in the background. The breakfasts were delicious and chef would make what ever we wanted. The villa manager organized for us girls to have massages and to have our nails done in the villa while a personal trainer came to put my husband through his paces. He loved that. Nothing was too much trouble.

We have already started to plan next year’s trip and we’ve all agreed to go back to Keila Villa – it really is beyond words. – Sally, UK.

We stayed at Keila Villa in February 2018. From the moment we walked through the door we were blown away by how amazing this villa is.

The pool is incredible and HUGE with lots of shade in the seating area for those who don’t like the sun. The living area is so spacious and comfortable. The media room is a great place to relax and all of the bedrooms and bathrooms are large and incredibly luxurious. The breakfast menu is varied and everything we tried was totally delicious.

By far the best part of the villa is the staff - always attentive but never intrusive. One of our party was sick for a couple of days and the chef made a delicious chicken soup which she claims nursed her back to health. Communication with the owner throughout the booking process was prompt and easy.

The location of the villa could not be better - smack in the middle of so many great restaurants, beach clubs, shopping, the beach all a short ride away and a number of other restaurants, coffee shops and convenience stores all within walking distance.

This was a dream vacation and Keila Villa was a large part of what made our entire stay in Bali absolutely unforgettable. We will definitely be back again. – Jason V., Canada.
