The hype
Guests adore the privacy and the 'oasis' feel, often citing the staff (especially the butlers) as the highlight.
The Pavilions Bali
$150-250/ nacht
Boek dit als You want a private pool villa experience in Bali without the Seminyak price tag or the Ubud traffic.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Villas are massive (starting at 120sqm) and feel like private residences
- Personalized butler service that actually delivers (they even carve your name on the door)
- Dead silent atmosphere despite being 5 minutes from Sanur's main drag
Snel Overzicht: A lush, slightly aging sanctuary that trades modern slickness for authentic Balinese charm and serious privacy.
Beoordeeld door @littlewanderingwren: I stayed in the Honeymoon Pool Villa and it was pure magic. Waking up in that canopy bed and having breakfast brought to my living room was the ultimate treat. You need to see the outdoor shower—it has a tree growing right inside it!

Reality check
Some villas are showing their age (20+ years old) with dated bathrooms and occasional musty smells common in tropical climates.
- You value privacy above all else (high walls around villas)
- You want to be near Sanur's dining scene but sleep in total silence
- You prefer traditional Balinese architecture over glass-and-concrete boxes
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
9
- Housekeeping: Excellent daily service; evening turndown includes mosquito coil lighting.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally spotless, though grout and tiles in older villas show age.
- Maintenance: Good, but 'ambiguous' pool water quality reported in rare reviews; AC units can be noisy.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and high quality, though not ultra-luxury thread counts.
- Odors & scents: Mostly fresh garden scents, with occasional tropical drain smells (common in Bali) quickly addressed by staff.

Voordat je boekt
Goed om te weten
- The hotel offers a shortcut access to the new Icon Bali mall, making beach access easier.
- Butlers can arrange a 'floating breakfast' in your private pool for an upcharge (approx. IDR 250k).
- The main pool is often empty because everyone is in their private villas.
Wat je mee moet nemen
- Strong mosquito repellent (gardens are beautiful but buggy)
- US/Universal power adapter (outlets can be limited in older villas)
- Slip-on shoes for easy villa-to-pool transitions
Kamer Genie
Beste keuzes
- Pool Villa (140sqm) — The sweet spot for value; you get a private pool and total seclusion.
- Honeymoon Pool Villa — Similar to the standard Pool Villa but often better positioned for privacy.
Kamers om te vermijden
- Garden Villas — They are spacious but lack the private pool, which is the main draw here.
- Villas closest to the lobby if you want zero foot traffic passing by.

“I would appreciate a Pool Villa set deep in the property for maximum quiet, away from the reception pathway. Please ensure the mosquito netting is fully intact.”
Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is breakfast included?
It depends on your rate. CRITICAL: If you pay on site, it is exorbitantly expensive (~$65 USD/person). Pre-book it.
How far is the beach?
It's about a 5-10 minute walk. The hotel runs a shuttle, or you can cut through the Icon Bali mall.
Is there a main pool?
Yes, a decent-sized central pool with a bar, though most guests stick to their private villa pools.
Is it kid-friendly?
Yes, but it's quiet. 2-Bedroom Villas are great for families, but there's no 'kids club' vibe.
Are the rooms dated?
Yes, slightly. Expect traditional charm (wood, stone) rather than modern sleekness. Maintenance is generally good, but wear is visible.
Is there a gym?
Technically yes, but it's a small, basement-like room with limited equipment. Don't plan your workout routine around it.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Use the 'Icon Bali' mall shortcut for a cooler, AC-filled walk to the beach instead of the street.
- ✨
The 'Garden Villa' is huge (120sqm) but for ~$30-50 more, the 'Pool Villa' transforms the experience completely.
- ✨
Jahe Restaurant is surprisingly good for dinner—try the 'Bebek Betutu' (smoked duck) if you don't want to leave the resort.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'gym' feels like an afterthought in a basement.
💡You get your name carved into a wood plaque above your villa door (and you can keep it).
💡The birds at 6 AM are loud—nature's alarm clock is real here.
💡The path to the villas is a bamboo forest tunnel that instantly drops your blood pressure.
💡Room service prices are high for Bali, but the quality is consistent.
