Chambre 1
In Bulan Madu's air-conditioned and fan-cooled bedroom a king-size bed is swathed in golden and green fabric below high, thatched ceilings. The regal semi-open-air (but very private) ensuite bathroom is crafted in cream-coloured stone, featuring a sunken two-person tub and a rain shower, bordered by fishponds, water features and garden views.

The lounge space is open to the back and front, and has magnificent views out over the ocean; it is furnished with three circular armchairs and equipped with a mini bar and iPod docking station. The dining table normally resides on the pool terrace but can easily be moved into the living area should the weather be inclement.

One of the greatest advantages of staying in villa Bulan Madu is the personal service provided by a dedicated team of professional staff. With this in mind, the discreet team of 13 staff at Indah Manis have been thoughtfully recruited according to their skills, personality and (in many cases) membership of the local community. Their aim is to look after every villa guest ? from toddler to grandparent ? in true Balinese style by understanding individual expectations and preferences. The villa manager and chef, in particular, will be only too delighted to discuss your desires or concerns and do what they can to guarantee a relaxed and enjoyable holiday.

Villa Bulan Madu is located far from the madding crowd, a couple of kilometres from the ocean in a rural area of Bali's beautiful and rugged Bukit Peninsula. Amenities within walking distance of the villa are limited to the tiny village of Pecatu, thus the services of a car and driver are essential for guests wishing to explore. Once in the car, however, some of Bali's best beaches are on your doorstep, as are some great restaurants, cultural activities, shops, cafes and golf courses.

• Padang Padang Beach 2km
• New Kuta Golf Course 7km
• Nammos Beach Club at Karma Kandara 7km
• Uluwatu Temple 7km
• Jimbaran Bay 17km
• Denpasar International Airport 22km
• Kuta 24km
• Seminyak 28km
• Ubud 54km

Your villa manager will have a wealth of information about nearby place of interest and will help arrange transport and make any bookings required. Do also ask the staff about the local area. Invariably many of them will live nearby and will be able to give an interesting insight into some of the fascinating aspects of Bali life.

In the meantime, here's a taste of the many and varied activities on offer within reach of Indah Manis and Bulan Madu.

• At Jenggala Keramic in Jimbaran, visitors can browse and buy from a vast range of handcrafted ceramics and glassware. Jenggala also runs ?Make and Paint a Pot' sessions where ?Children' of all ages are encouraged to get creative.

• New Kuta Golf course is 7km away and it offers some fantastic golfing with some of the most dramatic golf course scenery in the world.

• Soar above the spectacular southern coastline of the Bukit Peninsula on a Paraglider. Paragliding courses and solo flying for the experienced are available as well as tandem flights in the safe hands of experienced instructors. The training centre is at Timbis Beach on the south coast of The Bukit.

• Perched on a cliff 70m above the roaring Indian Ocean, Uluwatu Temple (Pura Uluwatu) is one of Bali's nine key directional temples. Facing west and with steep headlands on either side creating an unbelievably dramatic setting, sunsets over Uluwatu are a sight not to be missed.

• Nusa Dua beach is without doubt one of the cleanest and longest in southern Bali. Here, as well as enjoying a swim in the calm reef-protected water, you can wind surf, surf, kayak, jet ski and para-sail. Quicksilver run daily tours to Nusa Penida island (world-class diving destination and home of the fabulous mola-mola sunfish) from nearby too.

• For shopping, visit Bali Collection, located within the Nusa Dua tourist enclave. The mall is a multi-faceted complex of retail department stores, shops, an art market, and local and international restaurants and bars. If you would prefer to barter for some cheap clothing, check out Nusa Dua's two tourist markets, one is situated on Jalan Pantai Mengiat (near Mengiat Beach) and the other is close to Melia Bali Resort.

• A seafood feast at Jimbaran is a must for every holiday in Bali - dozens of seafood warung (cafés) line this west-facing beach, perfect for a sunset dinner. Fine dining options are available at most of the big resort hotels in this area; notably Sundara at Four Seasons in Jimbaran, the lunch menu here offers wood-fired pizza, sushi and Balinese delights, while the dinner menu presents gourmet steak and seafood selections.

• Uluwatu is the place for surfing enthusiasts. Most of the breaks here are only suitable for advanced or expert surfers - the waves are big here. Particular highlights are Uluwatu, Dreamland, Padang-Padang, Bingin/Impossibles and Suluban.

Exclusive use of the whole villa and listed services and facilities, staff including a full-time manager, private chef, housekeeping, gardeners and security, spa and Jacuzzi, BBQ, billiards table, darts and bocce balls, gym, swimming pool and unlimited WIFI.

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.

Our team of friendly staff at Villa Bulan Madu will make youngsters feel as welcome as adults, they are very happy to assist with children during the daytime when parents are present, and having these willing helpers on hand will give you the flexibility to do your own exploring beyond the villa grounds (full-time babysitting incurs a small extra cost).

Although Bulan Madu is a great villa for families, toddlers will need to be carefully supervised around the swimming pool and ponds. Older kids will love the petanque court, the pool table and the darts board, and if it happens to be a rainy day, don?t despair, as the villa is well equipped with children's DVDs and numerous board games, while the entertainment area provides plenty of space for kids to play.

Our fully equipped kitchen allows you to prepare meals for fussy young eaters or babies with ease, but the staff will also be very happy to do this for you - just talk through your requirements and meal schedules with the villa manager or the cooks and they will take care of the rest. 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) can be hired on your behalf.

And when the excitement of exploring the villa starts to wear off, check out our Things to do page; there's plenty in the area to keep all the family amused throughout the holiday.
