Bottom Line

The luxury Kanishka offers 27 upscale villas, each with one or two bedrooms and a private pool or whirlpool hot tub. Units feel more like private houses, so a stay here differs from the typical hotel experience, and while there is much more privacy, there are also fewer facilities available at the property. However, there are plenty of in-villa activities on offer, including the chance to learn Balinese cookery from a pro. Those wanting to be near the beach may find the 15-minute walk too far, and should check out Le Jardin Villas as an alternative.

Kanishka Villas

Scene

Quiet and attractive property ideal for couples and families alike

The Kanishka's small lobby is set back from a quiet road and has comfortable seating, stands of tourist leaflets, and a small white reception desk. A free welcome drink and a 10-minute massage are offered on arrival. Moving through to the villas takes visitors down paved walkways with carved stone statues set into the walls and bamboo and tropical plants at every turn. The property attracts a range of couples and families, but guests rarely interact due to the privacy afforded by the individual villas.

Location

Central location on a quiet lane, but removed from the beach

The Kanishka is set on a quiet, secluded lane just off one on Seminyak's busiest streets, where there are lots of shops, restaurants, and bars. Some of Seminyak's most popular attractions are within a few minute's walk of the property, including Bali Deli and Made’s Warung restaurant. The beach is around a 15-minute walk from the hotel, and Ngurah Rai International Airport is a 15-minute drive.
