Overview
At Indah Manis we have drawn on our experience in the hospitality industry to create a destination villa that embraces all the ingredients of comfort, style, entertainment and recreation. The result is a tranquil, four (or five)-bedroom retreat perched upon a hillside on Bali's Bukit Peninsula with a beautiful view of the ocean, distant volcanoes and Bali's south-west coastline. As well as being an ideal family holiday choice, Villa Indah Manis has earned a reputation as a superb wedding and events venue.
In this out-of-town setting with its cool breezes and serene ambiance, we are aware that you may have little desire to go out to dine or for entertainment, so we have endeavoured to provide everything that you might need right here at the villa. Facilities at Indah Manis include a 14-metre infinity-edge swimming pool, gym, cosy air-conditioned TV room with surround-sound and a library of movies.
Further indulgences come in the form of an on-site spa, a sunset bar, and an excellent team of staff, including an in-house chef. Kids of all ages will enjoy our fine selection of games ranging from billiards, petanque and darts to a stack of board games. If, however, you do wish to explore further afield ? after all, the region is blessed with some of the most idyllic beaches in Bali, as well as a world-class golf course - we have a car and driver on standby for up to eight hours a day at a minimal cost. And if you're looking for romance, look no further than our fully self-contained Villa Bulan Madu honeymoon suite. Complete with its own private entrance and pool, this little love shack can be rented independently or in conjunction with the main villa.
The name Indah Manis means beautiful and sweet. We hope that you will find it to be beautifully presented and delightfully palatable, imparting the sweetest of tastes.
Accommodation
Indah Manis is composed of a series of pavilions complemented by gorgeous flat-lawned gardens and lily ponds. At its heart is a fan-cooled living and dining pavilion, open at the front to a 14-metre infinity pool, sundeck, alfresco dining terrace and bar, and with views to the ocean beyond. The fully equipped kitchen and the bedroom suites are set back from the living pavilion. One bedroom has an annex that can accommodate two extra children, and all bedrooms are ensuite. Beneath the pool deck, the lower ground floor comprises an air-conditioned home theatre, gym, spa and an open-sided games room.
The self-contained, one-bedroom honeymoon villa, Bulan Madu, can be rented in conjunction with Indah Manis to make a private and romantic fifth bedroom.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Kamboja master bedroom
The master suite has pride of place at Indah Manis with patio doors that fold back to enjoy an open-air terrace with splendid views. This romantic air-conditioned bedroom is named after the fragrant frangipani flower and distinguished by a bold purple décor. Under a soaring roof, the room is furnished with a canopied king-size bed that you won?t want to leave. Here, you can watch TV from the comfort of your bed, or soak under the stars in the sunken circular bathtub which awaits in your ensuite garden bathroom.
Jempiring guestroom
Named after the sweet-scented gardenia flower, the air-conditioned Jempiring room beckons its guests across a lily pond before welcoming them with a chartreuse-green theme and plenty of space. Furnished with twin beds that convert to a queen-sized bed, together with two sofas that can be made up as single beds, this room is perfect for a group of up to four kids or a couple with two young children. All age groups will love the ensuite garden bathroom, which is fitted with twin washbasins and a rain shower and features a stunningly lit Balinese statue framed within a glassless window.
Alamanda guestroom and Melati annex
Alamanda is a trumpet-shaped flowering climber, and this peaches-and-cream-themed guestroom of the same name, with its king-size bed and cosy annex, is perfect for either a couple or a growing family. The orange-toned Melati (jasmine) annex serves a dual purpose as either a private sitting room or as a kids? bedroom, sleeping up to two children on the two sofas, which convert to twins or a double bed. The two rooms share a bathroom with the considerate touch of separate doors leading into each room.
Cempaka guestroom
Cempaka (also meaning Frangipani) is the only upstairs suite at the villa, and has extraordinary views from its balcony ? a lovely spot for a couple to enjoy a romantic private breakfast or sunset cocktails. In the bedroom, guests will just melt into the ambiance of the rich chocolate-accented décor, packaged in glass, teak, and coffee-coloured marble. Here, the king-size opium bed is a place to celebrate sweet and delicious joys, while the breezy ensuite bathroom, characterised by slatted walls, offers a refreshing rain shower.
Living & Dining Areas
Living and dining
Blessed with sea views over the treetops, the semi-open-air living and dining pavilion is the social heart of Villa Indah Manis. A place to congregate in fan-cooled comfort enhanced by fresh breezes drifting in through the room?s open front, which leads out onto the pool deck. This large pavilion, with its soaring roof, is flanked by a fish-filled lily pond and serenaded by the sound of bubbling water. A modern dining table for ten at one end serves for both formal and casual meals, while at the other end of the room guests can relax on sofas and lazy chairs. After dark, the pavilion takes on a different persona, softly lit with two impressive wrought iron chandeliers and surrounded by the mellow glow of garden lamps, its glamour is enhanced by the lights of Kuta and Seminyak, and by distant planes coming in to land.
Media room
Known as the Maharajah Room, the media room is a cosy, air-conditioned den, decorated in warm deep orange tones, harmonised with rich silk cushions. In this little snug, families can get together, sink into the comfy sofa and watch TV or choose from a wide variety of movies on the Movie Box or from a library of DVDs. Surround-sound completes the home theatre experience. An alternative option is to settle down for an evening of board games, selected from the big stack on the shelf unit; there?s even a Mah Jong set.
Kitchen
A fully equipped kitchen is available for guest use should they desire but is predominantly the domain of the villa chef and his team.
Outdoor spaces
Apart from the beautifully landscaped gardens most of Indah Manis?s outdoor activity takes place around the main living pavilion, where sunloungers sit to one side of the pool, while a table and a thatched cabana bar dishes out the drinks and alfresco dining from the other. The lighting here at night is stupendous and is guaranteed to get the party started.
Downstairs below the pool deck are the open-sided entertainment space with billiard table and darts board, the spa and gym, and a petanque court.

Activities
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.
Services included

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.
Our team of friendly staff at Villa Indah Manis 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 Indah Manis 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.
Dining
You are most welcome to take advantage of the villa's fully-equipped kitchen but, bearing in mind that you're on holiday, we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy some delicious home-cooked meals prepared by the villa's very accomplished in-house chef and assistant cook.The menu
You will be offered a suggestion menu to make ordering easier, and you can also chat with the chef if there are other specific dishes that your group would like to try. The kitchen staff are excellent, but we're sure you will appreciate that they do not have the capacity of a hotel or restaurant, so meals are generally served ?family style', where everyone shares dishes, as opposed to ordering individually. Food intolerances, special diets and children's meals can all be catered for, and the chef will, of course, adjust the seasoning of dishes to suit different palates. Villa Indah Manis has a barbecue on site, so we highly recommend the local seafood feast featuring the catch of the day from Jimbaran Bay. Beers, wines and spirits can be provided upon request. All beverages are charged per drink, except for wine, which is charged by the bottle.
The system
The food and beverage service is operated on a cash basis. Staff will request a cash float/deposit when you arrive to cover all your in-villa food and drinks, and ask for top-ups every few days, or 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. Grocery shopping will be done by the staff at local markets, supermarkets and delis. All food and beverage provisions are charged at the cost of the ingredients plus a 20% surcharge. Receipts will be kept and presented either on a daily or end-of-stay basis, whichever you prefer.
Weddings & Events
Villa Indah Manis has been specially designed to cater for weddings, parties and celebrations. Guests can be seated on the terrace or mingle on the beautiful gardens for a Champagne reception; the open-air bar is also a suitable area for stand-up cocktails. The pool can be covered with a temporary platform to create a dance floor or a stage for a live band. The terrace and lawns are also perfect for dance performances and barbecues, which are a specialty of the villa.We can recommend expert event organisers, florists, decorators and caterers so you can focus on relaxing and celebrating with your guests.

The room is air-conditioned so you can cross train to your heart's content. Alternatively, for a gentler form of exercise, you can do some yoga stretches. In-villa private yoga sessions can also be arranged ? please speak with the villa manager.
Spa
The spa is equipped with two massage beds, a back and shoulder massage chair (guests are offered a complimentary 30-minute back and shoulder massage [for four people] upon arrival), a chair and washbasin designed for the Indonesian 'creambath' - a special treatment for the hair, a jacuzzi, a bathtub, toilet and shower. Deluxe treatments can be 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:
Balinese 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.
