The Awan Villas

The Awan Villas are popular with couples and also great for families that need the extra space, as the villas have a generous footprint and all feature two bedrooms. Roomy pathways lead to the villas and are lined with tropical greenery and tall palms, which helps keep the temperature cool throughout the day, despite the harsh tropical sun. Villas are surrounded by tall walls, which keep the noise levels down and offer a high level of privacy. The only common area of the hotel is a functional lobby area with comfy upholstered couches. The privacy offered within the villa walls feels conducive to deep rest and relaxation. Note that the hotel has no facilities on offer outside of the villas. 

The hotel is positioned in a peaceful and tranquil area within walking distance of Seminyak's pulsing locales and the beach. Short walks from the hotel are some designer shops and popular eateries including Hog Wild With Chef Bruno and Watercress, both a six-minute walk from the hotel. The black sand Batu Belig Beach is a 10-minute walk away. The waves are decent, but the the heavy riptides make it dangerous for swimming. Petitenget, one of Seminyak's most trendy neighborhoods, is about a 10-minute walk away and features some of Bali's prime fine-dining restaurants, including Sardine and Metis, both less than a 15-minute walk from the hotel. The happening Potato Head beach club is a 10-minute drive away and Ku De Ta, a posh sunset cocktail lounge and beachfront restaurant is a 13-minute drive from the hotel. Buzzing Laksmana Street, or Eat Street, features a huge selection of great restaurants, sophisticated nightlife spots, funky cafes, and boutique shops -- is a 15-minute drive away. Kuta Beach, Waterbom Bali, and Ngurah Rai International Airport take around 25 minutes to reach, though driving times can take much longer during peak traffic hours.

The property features nine two-bedroom villas in total, all with almost identical layouts and a generous footprint of around 984 square feet (300 square meters). Villa 9 is the only villa with a different layout; it's a two-story building featuring a bedroom upstairs and a living room and kitchen on the ground level, as well as a second bungalow with a bedroom adjoining the main building. The garden and pool area are more spacious and there are two semi open-air gazebos with daybeds and chairs. Interiors in all villas are simple, though modern and elegant, with white-tile floors, dark-wood furniture, and white walls decorated with colorful paintings. Bedroom furniture includes comfy canopy beds with mosquito nets, dressing tables, and large wardrobes.

The heart of each villa compound is a private plunge pool set in a tropical garden setting with flowering frangipani, palms, and stone statues. Pools also feature wooden sun decks with lounge chairs. Adjoining the pools are open-air living rooms with comfy upholstered couches. Indoors, fully equipped kitchens are outfitted with stovetop burners, refrigerators, drinking water dispensers, microwaves, and toasters. Villa amenities include air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs with cable channels and DVD players, sound systems, and safes.

Marble-tiled bathrooms feature deep soaking tubs and separate showers with rainfall showerheads. The bathroom in Villa 9 is set in a tropical garden and features open-air showers tiled in black river stone. Toiletries are provided. 

The hotel's facilities outside of the villas themselves are limited to a small and functional lobby area, really only used for registration purposes. Apart from the lobby, no other facilities like a restaurant, spa, or communal pool, are on offer. Room service and in-room spa treatments are available. An a la carte breakfast with American, Asian, and continental options is included in room rates and is served directly to guest's villas. The hotel provides free shuttle services to nearby areas, as well as free parking and free Wi-Fi.
