Private pool villas in Bali is part of a series of reviews that I will post over the next few months here on Malaysia Asia.
As most of you will know, Bali is home to all kinds of accommodations namely boutique and private villas and also for their now affordable wedding packages.
Private Pool Villas in Bali
On one of my digital projects with a local travel company in Malaysia who specializes in selling these romantic couple packages to Bali, we explored a number of these luxury private villas in Ubud, Seminyak and also around Kuta to see the difference in each of them.
You should also know that these kind of villas are the travelling trend nowadays as for the price you are going to pay for a 5-star resort, you are getting a much better deal from these boutique private pool villas in Bali.
For those couples who are planning a trip here, they should be doing a lot of homework before committing to any of these Bali Villa Packages.
The reason for this is because of the many factors involved, which I will explain here in the most simplest way possible to make your romantic getaway a memorable one.

The new style of travel packages to Bali nowadays come in couple-ready prices which usually includes everything in one price excluding the airfare.
This means you can just make your booking for the two of you and if required, you can add on additional activities to these specially created packages.

Among the locations that are highly recommended on the island for those seeking a romantic getaway, there are three main areas that most couples choose which are;
- Ubud
One of the most popular romantic spots in Bali and nestled among the hilly areas, Ubud caters to those seeking a beautiful landscape for their romantic getaways. In other words, your ultimate private, quiet and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Note that most of the private villas are located in private and secluded areas therefore there is no shopping, nightlife or tourism within walking distance. One needs to book a taxi or supir (driver) to move around.
- Seminyak
Another high-end area where paddy fields dominate the landscape here. Private villas and bungalows are aplenty and some of these places sit far into Seminyak which is out of the main Seminyak shopping and nightlife areas.
The best time to stay here is during the harvest of the rice paddy when the fields are fully green in color which gives the couple a romantic time walking and exploring the area.
- Legian, Kuta
Only a handful of these private pool villas are available towards the main area of Kuta. These units are more suitable for the couple who wants the best of everything.
Your own private luxury pool villa which is walking distance to the main Legian and Kuta shopping and nightlife area. You will be pleased to know that these villas are only five minutes walk but then again, quiet and private.
As tourism these days become more and more commercial, there are many options being offered by many companies where a number of them slash prices making the package look attractive.
However, it is the accommodation that makes your romantic holiday complete. Gone are the days of checking into a general hotel with hundreds of people moving about and noisy neighbors that keep you up all night.

The new generation private pool villas in Bali give you the opportunity to experience a luxury getaway with a peace of mind and yet not costing you an arm or leg.
Prices for couples start from RM1900 (US$630) and this means it is only less than RM1000 per person for a 3-day 2-night luxury escape. Don't forget the additional items that are thrown in the packages to sweeten the deal.

A general 3d/2n Bali package can easily cost around RM300-RM400 per person and this only includes the room with breakfast.
The hotel may be a standard 2-3 star unit which can be a nightmare if you get one of the really small rooms where else for the packages offered here, you get tours included, a romantic lunch or dinner, complimentary spa, airport transfers and many more for that price.

Conclusion
On my earlier trips to Bali, I have stayed in the typical hotels and resorts and as I mentioned above, it all depends on the type of experience you are looking for.
Nowadays, there are more options for travellers when visiting Bali, as, over the years, more and more different concept accommodations have mushroomed on the island.
As for me, I have personally recommended this style of luxury travel to many of my friends where it is no longer expensive to experience staying at private pool villas in Bali.
