Luxury bali villas

Along the southern curve of Indonesia, north of Western Australia, lies the idyllic island of Bali. Bali is an exquisite and unique tourist destination, boasting beautiful beaches, lush terraced rice fields, and a rich history of arts and dance.

Although Bali sports many luxury hotels and resorts, one of the best and most economical ways to experience the true culture of Bali is to rent a private villa. Villas are available in all price ranges, amenities and tastes. You can choose a modern, spacious condo in the heart of one of the ancient Balinese cities or a 6 bedroom estate overlooking the white sand beaches and lagoons. You can be as close to the action or as secluded as you like.

Finding a luxury villa in Bali is simple with websites like VillaGetaways.com. VillaGetaways is the leading vacation property rental specialist in the South East Asia and Australasian regions. You can search the site for your perfect villa rental, choosing either by price or by amenities. Many Balinese villas are available with additional services such as maid service, concierge, or spa treatments. You can also choose to look after all of your needs yourself and enjoy the quiet seclusion that island life offers.

Bali is an island of variety. It boasts miles of beautiful sand beaches, volcanic mountains and ancient temples. Tropical forests are home to dozens of exotic animals and birds and the warm ocean waters surrounding the island are replete with tropical fish and coral reefs.

Shopping in Bali is a popular pursuit. Outdoor malls boast the most popular designer clothing, fragrances, and handbags. Further afield, traditional crafts, foods, and pottery grace the tables of small outdoor markets. When eating out, most of the largest North American chain restaurants can be found here, but seeking out traditional Balinese fare at local restaurants and cafes is a worthwhile pursuit. Local dishes often include delicate shrimp and fish with lime, peanuts, chilis, coconut and saffron. It is definitely a feast for the senses. Alternatively, you may opt to purchase fresh fruits, vegetables and meats at local markets which can be prepared in your villa for a more intimate dining experience.

The villa experience in Bali is growing in popularity but choice and variety is still available. Because of the tranquil nature and lack of crime on the island, many vacationers find Bali a desirable alternative to the more dangerous Caribbean islands. Villas can be rented often for less than the price of a hotel room or resort accommodation.

Vehicle rentals are inexpensive and the entire island can be circled in a day. You can self-tour the island with ease or select one of dozens of package tours, either by bus or by helicopter. Fishing excursions off the coast are popular, and can be either private charters or group tours.

Vacationing in Bali is an experience to not be soon forgotten. Experiencing it as the Balinese do in a private villa makes the trip absolutely unforgettable.
