Guests wanting to explore the island can take advantage of a driver and car available for up to eight hours at a special daily rate. Do also ask the staff about the local area. Many of them live nearby and will happily give you an interesting insight into some of the fascinating aspects of Bali life.
In the meantime, here is a taste of the many and varied activities on offer within reach of the villa.
- Set on a beachside bluff, The Beach House at Echo Beach offers indoor and outdoor seating, and an extensive international menu, together with a daily barbeque of fresh fish, lobster, giant prawns, clams, steaks and kebabs. Live music on Sunday evenings starts at sunset.
- Old Man's beer garden, restaurant and live music venue is the perfect place to chill after a surf or a walk on the beach. Cool bands and DJs on weekends and a monthly farmers market featuring local produce. Such a happy place with a ping pong table, cool mural, beach dogs, and friendly staff.
- The quaint local village of Pererenan is where rural life continues as it has for decades and strangers are welcomed with a smile. There are two interesting temples to visit here too, especially intriguing during Hindu festivals (of which there are many in Bali).
- Restaurant-bar-boutique Deus Ex Machina is located en route to Echo Beach. This surprisingly upscale surfer?s haunt serves up authentic Thai and sushi cuisine, sublime cocktails, and occasional live music. The shop sells surfboards and accessories and custom-designed motorcycles.
- Aquamarine Diving is a well-regarded British-owned and managed dive shop running courses and trips throughout Bali. They run PADI dive courses, dive safaris and day dive trips to a number of exciting sites around the island.
- Contemporary Seminyak art gallery Biasa ArtSpace showcases quirky pieces by select, up and upcoming Indonesian artists who master various forms, from paintings, figurines, to enigmatic sculpture and awe-inspiring works. The clothes are fabulous too.
- The Ripcurl School of Surf and board sports centre offers tuition and courses in all levels of surfing, kite surfing, wake-boarding, tow-in-surfing and stand up paddle boarding.
- Dramatically perched on a craggy outcrop that juts into the ocean, the highly venerated sea temple Pura Tanah Lot may resemble Piccadilly Circus late afternoon, but watching the sun slip behind the ancient silhouette and receiving a blessing from a Hindu priest makes it all worthwhile.
- If you've always dreamed about galloping along a beach, Bali Horse Adventure, just 2.5km from the villa, can arrange both horse riding tours and children's riding lessons. They also have a wonderful horse and cart (Bendy and Dokar) to rent out for scenic trips through the countryside.

Additional Notes
Families
The family friendly advantages of a villa holiday are many, including access to your own private facilities and the freedom to use them whenever you want. Knowing that the kids can run around happily, independently and safely, without you having to worry about other guests, is a real plus and one that means parents are certain to have a more relaxed holiday too.Villa Simona Oasis is a great villa for families with older children: those with toddlers will need to be vigilant, however, due to the estate's riverside location, many staircases and the fresh water ponds that decorate the grounds.
The team of wonderful staff at Villa Simona Oasis will make children feel as welcome as adults, and having these willing helpers on hand gives mums and dads plenty of flexibility and freedom to immerse themselves into the beautiful spa or explore beyond the villa grounds. Full-time babysitting incurs a small extra cost.
While the equipped guest kitchen allows you to prepare meals for fussy eaters or babies with ease, staff will be happy to do this for you ? just talk through your requirements and meal schedules with the villa manager or chef and they will take care of the rest. Pancakes by the pool for breakfast? Toasties for tea? No problem. Chef will customise all meals to suit children?s taste buds.
Forget packing cumbersome kids' equipment for your stay. Just let us know what you need, and anything we don?t have in-house (villa facilities include a baby cot and highchair) we can hire on your behalf (click here to see list of available hire items).
Dining
The skilled chef at Villa Simona Oasis is at your service to prepare daily breakfast, lunch and dinner.An imaginative suggestion menu of Indonesian, Asian and International dishes is offered to guests at Villa Simona Oasis, covering everything from linguini to lobster thermidor, Thai salad to beef tenderloin. A stay is not complete without sampling the nasi campur, a local dish that is a sampler plate of several dishes including satay ayam (chicken skewers in peanut sauce), fried tempeh and delicious buttery local white fish with sautéed vegetables.
The villa?s food and beverage service is operated on a cash basis and all provisions are charged at the market cost which is subject to 20% ++ service charge and government tax. Staff will request a cash float when you arrive, and ask for top-ups when necessary. To allow the kitchen staff time to shop and prepare, it's necessary to order in advance ? either the evening before (for special requests) or at breakfast time each day. Receipts will be provided for an end-of-stay reconciliation.
In addition to the main villa menu, there's also a healthy spa menu for exclusive use in the private spa.
Spa
