Looking for an intimate-yet-classy, self-contained, two-bedroom villa (or even a pair of two-bedroom villas next door to one another) in an ideal location that guarantees you peace and quiet but is so close to the action (a short taxi ride) that you could almost throw rocks at it? Then look no further than the two Harmony Villas, located in Batubelig on the ‘cusp’ of fashionable Seminyak. These elegant little pads are a superb example of how a small property with a limited amount of space can be transformed into a sophisticated oasis of sunshine and good times.

Each Harmony Villa is infinitely more private than a couple of hotel rooms of comparable price, and each offers a genuine flavour of tropical open-air living beside its own, private, seven-metre swimming pool within a neat walled garden. Furnishings are tasteful and modern; walls, shelves and alcoves are adorned with original artwork, Thai Buddha statues and Indonesian woodcarvings and masks; WiFi internet access is free of charge, and each bedroom is equipped with a flat-screen TV and DVD player.

The beach, the best choice of international restaurants on the island, a plethora of designer boutiques and an exciting nightlife are all within a ten-minute taxi ride of Harmony Villas. When you want to escape from the rest of the world, however, you can close the garden door, retreat to the wide upper-floor balcony and enjoy a serene view over the surrounding rice fields.

The two villas are virtually identical and are suitable for couples, a small family or, if you rent both villas, a small group of friends. The bedrooms, complete with chic ensuite bathrooms, are uniform in their oriental-inspired style, so there will be no arguing over who gets the best room. The solitary member of staff is a polite and competent villa manager, who is always on hand to look after your requests (including food shopping) but will allow you all the privacy you need. Housekeeping is taken care of, and if you don’t wish to self-cater or eat out, food can be delivered by neighbouring restaurants or by a highly-professional, dedicated villa catering company.

Located immediately next door to one another, each two-storey marble-floored villa is open at the front to its own small walled garden dominated by a 7 x 3.5m swimming pool, complete with a water cascade, timber pool deck and pool shower, flowering trees and shrubs. The ground floor of each incorporates a living and dining area and integrated kitchen, as well as a bedroom with ensuite bathroom. Upstairs is another bedroom and ensuite bathroom, plus a balcony-terrace, which overlooks the garden.

Fashioned in black polished granite with a carved Palimanan stone façade to its service bar, each kitchen is equipped for self-catering guests with a two-burner gas hob, microwave, fridge, toaster, kettle, blender and water dispenser. The living space in each villa is furnished with an L-shaped sofa and coffee table, while the dining area contains a glass topped table and four chairs. These rooms are cooled by an efficient, portable air-cooler. From here, glass doors open to small outdoor courtyards where the sun streams through.

All of the air-conditioned bedrooms are the same and have a Chinese feel to them, with dark wood, sliding glass doors to the living spaces or balcony decks, dark red Chinese silk cushions and bed runners, netted king-sized beds with woven wood backs, red lampshades on wooden lamps, comfy chairs, and 26-inch satellite-channel TVs and DVD players. All are complemented by separate walk-in dressing rooms and adjoining ensuites. The semi-open-air bathrooms all have non-slip acid marble floors with walls and surfaces crafted in creamy white Palimanan stone, smooth marble, Indian slate, polished black granite, and stacked slate, presenting a contrasting array of monochromatic texture. All have twin ceramic washbasins, huge wall mirrors, bathtubs with hand held showers, walk-in monsoon showers, and tiny gardens ornamented with pebbles, parlour palms and jungle vines under semi-open glass roofs.

Each upper floor includes a timber balcony deck with lovely views over the rice fields and furnished with a circular daybed for two, making a peaceful spot for relaxing or reading a book. Next to this is a small roof garden.
