The suites are more like private villas and are very large. At 314 square meters on the ground floor and 118 square meters on the upper level there is more than enough room for 4 people.
The ground floor
Step from a large living room, with sofas around the home theater, into your infinity pool. Alternatively you may wish to use the over sized dining room to read the paper or eat your meals. From the kitchenette, the windows open to the outdoor dining area with bar stools at the window so you can talk to the people getting your drinks. There is another chaise lounge in the living area for relaxing with a good book.
The ground floor leads directly onto the outside pool area where there are sun lounges to catch the rays, and of course the views.
The Upper Level
We are in the 2-bedroom suite, and the master bedroom has its own balcony and full bathroom with a sumptuously big bathtub and a large rainwater showerhead. There is also a sitting area here to admire the views. The 2nd bedroom has twin beds, a working desk and a balcony as well. Allbedrooms and the living room downstairs have TV’s.

Location
It is a little way away from anywhere so you will need a car or a driver to take you into Jimbaran or Nusa Dua. Goa Gong is up the hill from Bali’s major university and it is a 20-30minute drive to the popular fish restaurants of Jimbaran Bay. This will give you the privacy but be aware that you will need a driver ..or hire a bike ..motor bike.

What a beautiful and elegant place to stay. This would be perfect for families especially with that pool and all that space. They really hit it home with this experience and if I was staying here, I don’t think I’d want it to end either.
It is a lovely suite, but I would call it a villa or a full house really.
How comfortable and what a lovely amount of space you get ith that property. Forgive me if I missed it somewhere, but what’s the rate for a suite like that?
Hi Paul, it is a very spacious villa, beautifully designed. I didn’t put the rates up as they change. I have put a link to their site, where the current rates are.
Can you say dreamy!? Love their use of blue throughout the property, it’s such a relaxing color. I hope I’ll get to Bali in the near future. I have a big anniversary coming up and should start dropping hints!
I love the blue too, it is such a beautiful colour. That would be a great anniversary present.
Incredible – there is something to be said for the villa holiday, that’s a pool not a plunge pool and so much beautiful space and decoration!
Thanks Anna, it had stunning decor and yes a beautiful pool
I’m going to Bali in September so found this really interesting. I love the fact that each villa has its own private infinity pool
