Imani Villas is a complex of three 3 & 2-bedroom thatched villas, each with a private swimming pool, hidden away in the rice fields, just ten minutes’ drive from the beach on Bali’s south western coast. The style blends modern Balinese architecture with minimalist design and local materials. All of the villas are completely self-contained and secure, with private entrances linked by a walled lane lined with spider lilies and green foliage. The close proximity of the three properties means that the complex is ideal for larger groups of people, or families, who want to be close to each other while still retaining an element of independence and privacy.

The approach to Imani Villas is through the traditional Balinese village of Umalas, the narrow country lane then winds through the rice fields for another kilometre before reaching the property. The entrance to Imani Villas is heralded by a line of palm trees flanking a sizeable parking area, guests are then greeted at an open-air reception pavilion, bordered by an ornamental pond. The locality is dotted with some of the most impressive villas on the island and the sweeping view is enhanced on clear days by the magical sight of the Bali’s mountain range extending from Mt Agung in the east to Mt Batukaru in the northwest. Despite the close proximity to Seminyak, the traditions of rural Bali still prevail; cows are herded through the fields and the sound of ritual music is carried on the breeze.
