1. Feel like a mermaid at this Water Villa

Do you love water? Is soaking in cool calm water your favourite pastime, and you wish you were born a mermaid?

If so, you’ll love this exotic water villa, one of the rare villas you’ll find in Bali that’s completely surrounded by water.

In fact, the first thing that greets you upon entering the villa is the pool!

You also get two huge comfy beanbags for nights when you just want to soak your feet in the water and admire the starry night sky.

2. Seek seclusion at Balian Treehouse, Balian Beach

Have you always had a secret wish to escape to the middle of nowhere?

This secluded little treehouse lodge in Balian village located along the coastline offers you the best privacy you can imagine.

You have no direct neighbours, apart from the garden and the ocean.

Built as a private holiday home by a Holland-based photographer, the “mushroom villa” (as the locals call it) gives you a very homely experience, different from a typical villa or resort stay.

From the veranda overlooking the huge garden and palmtrees, you can watch the sunrise in the morning, and enjoy the view of the ocean.

You even have a private pool in the garden!

The decor of the house is mostly natural – such as driftwood picked up from the beach.

Everywhere you need to get to within the village is within walking distance, but you can also rent a bike to sightsee outside the village. Nice and affordable local food is also available at the night market nearby.

The beach is also readily accessible via a small dirt road from the house.

You can even pick your own coconuts here!

3. The Impossible Villa On Stilts – Nomad Villa Impossible

Villa Impossible is one that really lives up to its name.

Standing precariously on stilts alongside one of Uluwatu’s famous high cliffs, this six bedroom villa is a dream come true for beach lovers.

You can sit on the balcony and enjoy 180-degree views of the beautiful Uluwatu ocean, while listening to the waves lapping at your feet.

You have the perfect hideaway – it’s time to switch off from the daily humdrums of the modern world.

4. Go for eco-luxury at Sharma Springs Bamboo House, Ubud

What could be more eco-friendly than staying in a house made of bamboo?

It’s not just about the beautiful view and cool mountain breeze. You are staying at one of the most amazing examples of sustainable design.

5. Experience another world at your very own Hideout – Eco Bamboo Home with water wheel

If you ever want to try cosplaying Robinson Crusoe, the Hideout is the place to do it.

This secluded wooden hut, found on the Gunung Agung highlands, is set to give you all the privacy you need – and more. Its largely hidden location is not the only reason why it’s so unique though.

No, here’s the catch – the Hideout was handcrafted out of wood, and is also fully sustainable on its own.

Don’t believe us? You can check out that magnificent water wheel. This contraption is actually the only source of water and electricity for this tiny miracle in the woods!

The cozy atmosphere is also bound to make you feel at home, and for how it’s fully equipped with everything you can possibly need, the price for a night’s stay at this place also comes at a steal.

No matter what your six-year-old says, this is the best hiding place ever.

Complete with a patio, it’s time to dream of hosting your own candlelight dinner right in front of the rice fields, or even having a peaceful sunrise breakfast in your pajamas.

If you’re a social media butterfly, you be the envy of your followers when you take a peaceful stroll out in the rice fields and capture a few shots while in the midst of it!

7. Get inspired at this Artsy and traditional villa

With a unique feature art wall in the indoor dining area and little touches of Balinese tradition on the windows, you are bound to love the chic interior design of this villa!

Don’t you love this rounded window from one of the rooms that overlook the garden?

Definitely a rare sight in modern houses these days!

In a garden shaded by greenery, you can lay on the chairs for an afternoon nap or spend time with a great book you’ve always wanted to read.

You also get a mini pool that’s not intended for any serious swimming, but for you to simply enjoy a rejuvenating soak in.

Where better to get some artistic or poetic inspiration while you’re enjoying these little things in life?
