Bangkuang Villa 3877

Villa Bangkuang, nestled in Seseh, Bali, is a serene multi-pavilion retreat bordered by lush rice fields, offering elegant style and tranquility on the island’s southwest shore.

Just 300 meters away, you’ll find a stretch of black sand beach, while the trendy cafes and surf spots of Canggu are about 9 km down the road—the same distance as the iconic Tanah Lot temple further up the coast. The village itself is changing slowly, welcoming a few stylish cafés, a yoga retreat, and a wellness center, but it still holds onto its old-world charm. Best of all, everything is just a short, five-minute walk from the villa.

Villa Bangkuang is designed for comfort, with five spacious bedroom suites and generous indoor and outdoor living areas. At its heart is a stunning 17-meter infinity pool—perfect for big family gatherings or a group of friends looking to unwind together. The views stretch over the rice fields toward the sea, and from the rooftop terrace, you get front-row seats to Bali’s famous sunsets. Originally built as a private retreat, the villa recently underwent a thoughtful remodel in 2021, led by designers known for their work on the Grand Hyatt.

The result? A beautiful mix of old and new—traditional alang-alang thatched pavilions paired with modern interiors crafted from tropical woods and marble. The space is filled with a blend of custom-made and antique furniture, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. One of the best parts of staying in a private villa is the incredible staff, who provide genuine Balinese hospitality, making sure you feel completely at ease. They’re always there when you need them, but if you’d prefer a little more space, just let the Villa Manager know, and they’ll make sure to give you the privacy you want.
