Overview
Designed with minimal simplicity and clean lines in mind, Villa Gu is perfect for switching off and diving into island life. The organic architecture, in true Balinese style, is designed to harmonise with the environment. The villa is made up of a main house and garden annexe - perfect for families or groups of friends travelling together.
Inside a secure walled compound and connected by a private walkway, each self-contained villa has its own interior design style and character.
Outside, take a refreshing dip in the jade green pool that runs along the property and soak up the sun on the loungers facing the pool. Five glorious bedrooms span two floors - three master suites and two garden annexe bedrooms. There's a spacious outdoor rooftop terrace, which is perfect for gazing out at the views with a fruity cocktail in hand.
As the villa is so close to amazing eateries in Canggu and world-class dining in Seminyak, most guests choose to eat out. Therefore, there is no in-house chef, although this can be arranged for an additional fee.
The kitchen is also well-stocked with all the mod cons for self-catering, including a microwave and even a wine cooler! Dine on the alfresco table while enjoying the peaceful ambience of the water feature and the statue of the Hindu deity Ganesha, which adds a touch of Balinese spirituality.
Covering the majority of the downstairs area, the bright, airy living room is decorated in earthy tones to transcend outdoor living. The wall of floor to ceiling windows ensures space is bathed in light. Relax on supremely comfortable and stylish white sofas, while enjoying the view of the shimmering pool against a backdrop of greenery.
One master bedroom has a king size bed, while all the other rooms have split queen size beds. Muted floors are adorned with richly coloured rugs, while the beds are accessorised with patterned monochrome or sea green cushions. Carefully curated contemporary art hangs on the bedroom and bathroom walls - in the downstairs master suite, take a liberating soak in the semi-outdoor ensuite bathroom overlooking the tropical garden.

Location
About the surrounding area of xVilla GuThis villa is nestled between enchanting Batu Belig and chilled out Berawa, mere moments from an incredible beach. Around the corner is a beautiful, natural lagoon dotted with colourful outriggers, ready for night fishing. Close to all of Canggu's amenities and unparalleled views of sweeping rice terraces, guests at this villa will be located in one of Bali's most desirable hotspots.
Berawa beach has an irresistible laid back atmosphere - it's great for those who love surfing as there are some challenging breaks along the long beach break. With striking black volcanic sand and panoramic views of the Indian ocean, Berawa is particularly lovely at sunset. Locals and tourists gather at the beach clubs to watch the sky light on fire from the comfort of a bean bag.
Batu Belig also has bewitching black sand - the beach is known for being family-friendly and chilled out. While the waves are too strong for any serious swimming, grab a body board to ride the waves. Echo Beach is also a short drive away, which also has excellent surf and famous nightly beach barbecues.
Canggu is surrounded by evergreen rice paddies that stretch as far as the eye can see. A great way to experience the lush landscape is by bicycle - take a trip down the Shortcut, which is a beautiful path through the plantations. Just be careful when you move to the side to let others pass, or you might end up in the locals' book of falls! Other lovely areas to cycle around the rice terraces are Pererenan and Seseh.
The villa is just a few kilometres north of Seminyak, Bali's premiere upscale beach resort. A playground for jet-setters, fashionistas and yogis, it's full of fashionable boutiques where you can shop til you drop. Seminyak has an excellent nightlife, atmospheric cocktail huts and superb sundowners at beach clubs.
You'll be spoilt for choice when you stop for a snack in Canggu or Seminyak. Pick up some local treats from a warung, or take your pick of the wildly popular array of quirky cafes. Healthy smoothie bowls are available in abundance, as are world-class menus of international fare.
Bali is known as the 'Island of the Gods' and is home to countless enchanting temples. Magical Pura Petitenget embodies Balinese spirituality and is a significant link in the series of temples along Bali's west coast between Pura Uluwatu and Pura Tanah Lot. The temple has twelve shrines and an impressive dragon staircase that leads to an expansive courtyard. Every evening, there are temple ceremonies on the beach and traditional dance displays.
Bali Equestrian Centre is a must for horse lovers - whether you're a keen rider or want a taster riding lesson, this world-class centre has got you covered. Take a beach ride, weaving through the powdery sand, or visit a local village.
Finn's Recreation Club is very close to the villa and is bursting with activities for the whole family Boasting a water park with thrilling slides popular with kids and adults alike, a state of the art gym, blissful spa, vast tennis court and boxing arena, there's something for everyone here!

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesKids will have a great time at Finn's Recreation Club - there's an enormous array of activities they can get stuck into and learn a new skill. There's a dedicated Kids Club and Junior Sports Academy, and the immensely popular Bounce Trampoline park. Plus, if they haven't had enough fun splashing around at the villa, the water park has enough slides to keep them entertained all day.
Bali's beaches are always popular with children - they'll love the novelty of strolling along a black sand beach just metres from the villa. While Berawa Beach is a family-friendly place for kids to be, it's not a great place for swimming as the waves can be rough. Beaches in the Sunar area such as Green Bowl and Jimbaran Bay are better for swimming and snorkelling. Mini surfers can take lessons from one of the many surf clubs dotted around the Canggu area.
Bali Treetop Adventure Park in Bedugal, close to Lake Bratan is an ideal day trip for those with little ones in tow. An adrenaline-fuelled park with five adventure circuits, the heights vary from 2m to 20m. Kids will love flying through the trees on the Tarzan jumps and soaring along 12 exhilarating flying fox ziplines.
The Bali Equestrian Centre is also excellent for a day out for children of all riding abilities. Children can take lessons or go for a pony ride through the Canggu countryside. The instructors are well versed in teaching children - they're bound to fall in love with riding.
The villa can be kitted out for children as baby cots, high chairs and monitors can all be rented from the property, meaning parents won't need to bring everything from home.
