Hello Arya,
I just wanted to write & thank everyone there for the best & most relaxing stay we have ever had in beautiful Bali. Ketut, Lilis & Wayan were wonderful, the villa was gorgeous, the service was first-class, but so discreet we felt as if we were the only people there most of the time. We will definitely be staying with you again, as soon as we can save up the money & take time off work!  Thank you also for showing us around the other villas, it is very good to see that you have enough visitors to make new buildings a worthwhile investment. We encourage everyone we know to holiday in Bali, but so many people are still put off by the bombings. I hope business continues to be good for you, and that more tourists will return to Bali soon. All the best to you all,

B. Cole & John M

We have just returned from a really relaxing week at the Dyana Villas in Seminyak, Bali.

We booked Dyana Villas on the Internet through one of the many Bali accommodation sites, though they do have their own site – just type the name into Google and you’ll find it, along with the many Indonesian web based booking agencies. On Dyana’s website, you can take a video tour and there are interactive layouts of the villas linked to photographs. We were very impressed by the images and descriptions, but we’ve all seen similar before and been disappointed, so were a little sceptical. However, unlike some hotels, their depictions are entirely accurate and we were delighted with what we found on arrival. The well-appointed villas are very reminiscent of a French Gite and are very comfortable.

We rented a one-bedroom villa and the open plan living area was more than large enough for the two of us, with ample seating and a dining table for 4, so you can entertain if you meet up with friends etc. The living area is open to the garden and has cane roller blinds, to keep out the weather, should the need arise. Overhead fans keep the air cool and there is an ample supply of mosquito and insect repellent in the villa. The villas are equipped with a TV and stereo system and plenty of music is available for all tastes; DVDs are also available at no extra cost. The large, air-conditioned bedroom has a very comfortable King size bed, a reasonable sized wardrobe with built in shelving and security box. The bathroom has a big spa bath with a shower over, which may present some problems for people with disabilities - suggest you check with Dyana first.

Outside, there is a private walled garden with your own swimming pool. Access to the villa is via a lockable gate in the garden wall. The pool in the one bedroom villa is around 24 feet by 10 feet, in a D shape, with a shallow area in the curve of the D. The garden is a pleasant little oasis, well stocked with plants and flowers, which, along with your pool, are, tended daily by the gardener. There is a patio area with sun loungers, making this the ideal place to take advantage of the tropical sun to get that “all over tan”!

Breakfast is prepared and served at the villa by your maid who also cleans and does your laundry daily (inclusive in the cost!) so you don’t need masses of clothing – save the space for all the stuff you will buy! She will also shop for groceries and prepare you lunch, should you wish. Our maid kept the villa immaculate, cleaning thoroughly every day, but your privacy is respected and once the cleaning was done, she left us to relax. To make your relaxation complete, a number of reasonably priced spa packages are also available. These are carried out at you villa and you can either pay there and then, or add it to your bill.

The area of Seminyak has plenty of shops, bars and restaurants and Kuta is a 10-15 minute taxi ride away. After the first Bali bomb, many of the clubs and bars re-located to Seminyak, but the nightlife has recently begun gravitate back to Kuta. This means that many of the bars are quite empty, giving the appearance the there are few tourists around. The one drawback you may find is that if there is a major event at one or other of the local nightspots, you may be able to hear it from the villa. However, it is unlikely that this will be a long-term problem during in your stay, as they seem to be one off events.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend not only Bali, but also Dyana Villas to anyone planning a trip here. During 2 years living in South East Asia, we have travelled extensively throughout the region and Dyana Villas is right up there on our best stays list – we would certainly stay here again.

"Going back again!"
We stayed at the Dyana Villas in Seminyak, Bali on our weekend getaway in November. We have travelled to many places in Asia and this was by far the most relaxing, romantic, and comfortable place we have ever stayed in.

We were picked up from the airport in Denpasar and arrived at the villa 15 minutes later, a short drive from the airport. We stayed in a 1 bedroom villa (they have 1-4 bedroom villas great for families). Each villa has their own pool, living area, and kitchen. Only the bedroom is air conditioned so if your not use to the heat this can be a down fall.

Each villa is assigned their own maid. Breakfast is prepared for you in your villa every morning, and your laundry is done by mid afternoon and put back in your room. This is all included with the standard room rate, very reasonable ($120/night 1 bedroom) and located only a 10 minute walk from Kuta beach.

We loved the Dyana Villas so much that we are heading back this weekend! We would recommendend dyana to anyone!
