Overview
Welcome to Eshara, our urban-slick, 'three-in-one'
villa offering eight, five, three and two bedroom options that make it
perfect for everyone from romancing couples and small families all the
way up to large groups of friends.
Situated off a quiet street,
yet only 300 metres from Seminyak's bustling beach, shops and
restaurants, Eshara villas I, II and III each have their own private
gardens and swimming pools ? separated by a clever system of retracting
garden walls ? as well as individual indoor and outdoor living spaces
and equipped, open-plan kitchens. When the whole villa is opened up as
one, it can easily cater for up to 16 guests.
Eshara's seductive
interiors are designed to delight: think funky furnishings, brightly
coloured artwork, fascinating artefacts and lush fabrics; a place where
stone-carved Balinese goddesses invite you to be seated on cowhide
chairs under opulent Swarovski crystal chandeliers. And this tropical
living concept spills outside onto palm-tree-dotted lawns where you can
lounge on pool decks or enjoy romantic dinners lit by flickering fire
bowls.
Our team of highly competent and professional staff will
make your holiday wishes come true. The villa manager and personal
butlers are on hand to ensure you want for nothing and, if you'd rather
not self-cater, our chef will prepare your meals from a large suggestion
menu of Asian and Western favourites or according to your special
requests.
With a staggering array of hedonistic pleasures
virtually on the doorstep, Villa Eshara's location is a wonderland for
bon-vivants. From designer boutiques and day spas to beach bars,
world-class restaurants, pulsating nightspots and the expansive
Petitenget Beach, fun and fine-dining are never much more than a few
moments away.
Accommodation
Villa Eshara III comprises two pavilions built in an L-shape around a tropical garden and a 10 x 3.5-metre green-tiled swimming pool. A large and very comfortable living, dining and kitchen area and the master bedroom take up one pavilion while two guest bedrooms take up the other. Outdoors the pool deck is trimmed with coconut trees and tropical plants, including the ubiquitous frangipani, providing shade, colour and a pleasant sense of place.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Master
A pitched roof and hardwood floors create a wonderful natural ambiance to the king-bedded master suite, which can be accessed from both the living room and the pool deck. The marble ensuite bathroom with its river-rock soaking tub and outdoor shower will make daily cleansing rituals so much more fun.
Guestrooms One & Two
The view over the garden and pool from the beds of these two bedrooms is guaranteed to start the day off right. One room is furnished with a king bed and the other with twin beds that can be combined to make a king. With sliding doors, hardwood floors and high-pitched ceilings, both of these airy rooms have spacious ensuite bathrooms overlooking Zen-like bamboo gardens from their shower stalls.
Living & Dining Areas
Elegantly finished with marble floors and native Indonesian timbers in all the right places, furnished with a huge L-shaped sofa and a dining table for 10, and fitted with an open-plan kitchen equipped for guest use, this all-purpose living space is a great place to unwind, relax, dine, play or be entertained. With vast sliding glass doors and high-pitched ceilings, the room is bathed in natural light.
The coconut palms and colourful plants in the villa?s private garden put you firmly in the tropics, while the pool and its deck - topped with sun loungers and a couple of sofas - and the large, cushioned relaxation pavilion, provide a choice of shade or sun throughout the d

Location
Hidden
down a quiet lane, equidistant from Seminyak's famous ?Eat Street' and
the expansive Petitenget Beach, Villa Eshara is just 300 metres away
from a staggering array of hedonistic pleasures. From designer boutiques
and day spas to beach bars, fine dining restaurants, cheap and cheerful
cafes, and pulsating nightspots, good times are never much more than a
moment away. Taxis continually cruise along the main thoroughfare, which
is also where guests will find two tourist markets selling leisurewear,
bags and accessories, a pedestrianised shopping centre, ATMs, a deli,
and several convenience stores.

Activities
Villa
Eshara's manager will have a wealth of information about nearby places
of interest and will help arrange transport and make any bookings
required. Do also ask the staff about the local area. Many of them live
nearby and will be able to give 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.
- Villa Eshara is in the heart of Seminyak, Bali's most cosmopolitan enclave, where fashionistas, trendies and shop-a-holics can indulge themselves in the glut of stylish, chic boutiques. There is a wide choice of fine-dining, mid-range, and cheap ?n cheerful restaurants in Seminyak too: fine-dining venues include Sarong, the famous Ku Dé Ta, Mama San, Merah Putih, La Lucciola, Sardine and Métis.
- Visit the famous temple at Tanah Lot (16.5km). Visiting early in the morning (8-9am) provides a better idea of the power of the location and the chance to see it undisturbed apart from perhaps an offering ceremony.
- Head down to Echo Beach in Canggu (11km) where a number of cafes offer great sunset views and icy cold beers. Note that the beach here is dark volcanic sand and the waters are better suited to surfing, having a pronounced swell and rip, rather than children's swimming. Hotel Tugu, a very stylish and eclectic boutique hotel a few minutes further down the coast is also a good sunset spot.
- Play a round at the unbelievably scenic Nirwana Bali Golf Course (17km). Bordered by ocean and rice fields and just down from Tanah Lot sea temple, no wonder this championship-standard course (designed by golf legend, Greg Norman) is frequently voted number one in Asia.
- Drive westwards to explore the charming Tabanan regency, revealing terraced rice fields of emerald green, volcanic mountains and black-sand beaches dotted with fishing communities. You may wish to visit the breathtaking panorama of the Jatiluwih rice terraces, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008 for its preservation of traditional Balinese farming techniques. At a height of 850m above sea level, the view here is one of the finest imaginable. Alternatively, head north to explore the volcanic lakes near the mountain town of Bedugul, including Lake Bratan with its photogenic and stunningly positioned Pura Ulun Danu ? one of Bali's most important temples.
- Covering 3.8 hectares of tropical parkland in Kuta (7.6km), Waterbom Bali has 16 water slides (including The Climax with its 360 degree loop) to entertain the young and the young at heart. A great family day out, but go early to beat the crowds.
- Bold and brave bargain hunters should head for one of Denpasar's markets within the heart of Bali's bustling provincial capital, for an exciting and rewarding shopping experience.
- Hire a bicycle and explore the scenic rice-field landscape and rural villages; a great way to get under the skin of the ?real' Bali. Stop off at a local warung (café) to sample some basic Balinese fare or cool off with a cold drink.
Services included
Exclusive use of each villa booked and the services of its staff team, including villa manager, housekeepers, personal chef and nighttime security. All villa facilities, including private swimming pool and unlimited WiFi internet.
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 Eshara is a great villa for families and each of the three villas has a twin-bedded room ideal for kids. Those with toddlers will need to be vigilant around the swimming pools, although a pool fence can be installed at Eshara II and III upon request (extra cost applies).
The team of friendly staff at Villa Eshara will make children feel as welcome as adults, and having these willing helpers on hand gives guests plenty of flexibility and freedom to do their own exploring beyond the villa grounds (full-time babysitting incurs a small extra cost).
Although the equipped kitchens allow you to prepare meals for fussy eaters or babies with ease, staff will happily 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. The chef can customise all meals to suit children's taste buds.
Don't worry about packing all that 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
Dining
Villa Eshara offers an extensive suggestion menu of delicious home-style meals featuring Asian and international dishes to cater to all tastes, with an excellent selection of vegetarian and children's options. The villa's professionally trained chef is also more than happy to tailor meals to accommodate any special dietary requirements. A stay is not complete without sampling some local dishes such as pepes ikan (fish steamed in banana leaf), satay ayam (chicken satay on bamboo skewers) or pisang goreng (fried banana) served with ice cream.Groceries and beverages are billed at cost price plus a 20% service charge, and guests will be requested to provide grocery money in advance, leaving the staff to do the shopping and present receipts for reference. To make the most of the kitchen and give staff time to shop, it is a good idea to plan meals the evening before or with a minimum of five hours notice.
SPA
Feel like a body scrub or massage? Just ask our staff to bring the spa to you! We can recommend deluxe treatments carried out by fully trained therapists from a reputable local spa (extra charges will apply). Here's a sample of what's on the menu:Massage
Release built up tension with a traditional Balinese massage. Using a combination of gentle stretches, acupressure and aromatherapy oils to stimulate the flow of blood, oxygen and energy around your body, you will feel totally relaxed in no time.
Foot reflexology
Foot reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet which correspond to every part of the body. Through application of pressure on these reflexes tension is relieved and circulation improved leaving you feeling balanced.
Body scrub
A full body scrub will exfoliate and hydrate your skin leaving it soft and smooth. A rejuvenating scrub combines an abrasive material such as salt, coffee, rice bran or pecan hulls with essential oils to remove any impurities and make your skin glow.
Manicure/pedicure
Our hands and feet work hard for us every day but rarely get the attention they deserve. Treat them to a manicure or pedicure, which usually comes with the added bonus of a quick hand or foot massage.
