    From chic and bright modern villas, to more traditional wooden bungalows, there are many types of private villas in Bali that boast incredible scenic views and private pools. 

    If you are looking for a touch of traditional Balinese style with a luxurious edge – or perhaps a minimalist vibe – the island is packed with these Joglo-style accommodations that will leave you in awe. Usually featuring recycled or restored wood, simple antique furnishings and towering ceilings, you can enjoy Balinese style in a comfortable and lavish way.
