Villa Yo-Yo is a peaceful 5-bedroom oasis nestled in the heart of the Batubelig area, less than a kilometre from the beach on Bali’s south-western coast. Encompassed by rice fields, and just a few metres from two charming little warungs (local restaurants), the setting is quiet and tranquil, within a safe, upmarket neighbourhood that is home to some of the classiest properties on the island. The beach is renowned for its world-class surf breaks and panoramic coastline views. The trendy Seminyak area, meanwhile, with its glamorous lifestyle and wide choice of internationally acclaimed restaurants – including the famous ‘KuDéTa’, ‘Warisan’, ‘Living Room’, ‘Hu’u’ and ‘La Lucciola’ – together with a plethora of chic cocktail bars, exciting nightclubs, sumptuous spas and fashionable boutiques, is only a few minutes’ drive away. This region is the most visited part of the island for both tourism and business purposes. The villa is a mere thirty minutes drive from the international airport, and convenient for all of the main tourist attractions and shopping malls. Easily accessible sporting amenities include a choice of spectacular championship golf courses, the neighbouring ‘Canggu Club’, tennis facilities, horseback riding, dive schools, sailing cruises and much more.
The main 2-storey building houses three of the bedrooms and is characterised by a colonnaded wrap-around Terrace and a corresponding wide wrap-around balcony on the upper floor. The terrace is furnished with a large circular table and six chairs for alfresco dining under a funky metal chandelier. There is also a bar with a curved façade, and a cushioned rattan sofa and chairs together with a glass-topped rattan table.
Indoors is a large Living, Dining & Office Area, with a cool terrazzo floor scattered with Oriental rugs. Here, guests can enjoy a more formal dining experience around a solid chunky dining table for ten. The office area is furnished with a daybed, shelf units and a desk, and is equipped with a computer, Internet access, a fax machine, and a central telephone system. A guest powder room is accessed from this area. The adjacent Service Kitchen is one of two kitchens at the villa. This one is set up so that the staff can serve food quickly and efficiently at dinner parties and functions, it is fully equipped and well-stocked with quality glassware, crockery and cutlery; a large refrigerator is hidden within a custom-designed cupboard
The open-plan TV Room boasts a satellite TV and DVD player, two substantially-sized yielding sofas, a large square coffee table, a lazy chair and a pair of carved side tables positioned upon a warm parquet floor under a soaring pitched roof.

There is a small garden and terrace at the back of the property beside the kitchen, which is home to a gorgeous statue of the Hindu god, ‘Ganesha’. The villa is also equipped with a generator.

The bedrooms are linked by a cosy sitting room furnished with a comfy, deeply cushioned sofa, standard lamps and a low sideboard.
Sliding doors from both bedrooms open onto the wide wrap around balcony, composed of richly grained, creamy ‘Batu Yogya’ stone.
