Wake up to the gorgeous garden views from your cosy bed with crisp white linen. There are floor to ceiling windows across the whole villa, means it's always bathed in natural light. In the evening, alluring golden light illuminates the pool and outside area. The bedrooms have plenty of space, beautiful rich wooden floors and quirky stone bedside tables. Each bedroom has an ensuite natural stone bathroom with fresh foliage decorations.

Moving through the villa into the open plan living space, the first thing you will notice is the striking grey marble-like stone panels against the wood. The intricate carved wood table is truly unique - take a rest on the sofa and admire the artistry of the design. A print that matches the grey, white and orange colour scheme perfectly adorns the wall.

The villa is laid out along one level, so you can go straight out to the pool and garden from any room - enjoy the feeling of stepping straight out of the infinity pool onto a manicured lawn. Lounge on the sunbeds by the pool for ultimate relaxation - you might struggle to leave this villa!

Location

Villa Agung is conveniently located just a few minutes' walk from glorious Balangan beach, popular with surfers around the world for the superb breaks. Framed by imposing jagged limestone cliffs that tower over the deep blue ocean, it really is picture-perfect. Surf to your heart's content, and when you feel like you need to refuel, there are plenty of bamboo cafe shacks along the eastern side. Balangan beach is less touristy, so you can expect fewer crowds and a relaxed vibe. Curiously, it also has perfectly spherical sand - let it flow through your hands and see for yourself!

Access to the secret cave beach Suluban is just a short ride away - climb down the jagged staircase to reach it. Framed by limestone bluffs and with impossibly turquoise water, it's considered one of the prettiest beaches in Bali. You'll find plenty of surfers and photographers around the cave.

Situated in irresistibly chic Bukit, one of the most fashionable and naturally beautiful areas of Bali, the villa is ideally located near plenty of landmarks. Enchanting 11th century Pura Lukur Uluwatu sea temple is within easy reach. Perched atop craggy limestone cliffs, the temple hosts Kecak fire dance shows that tell the story of Ratnayana through dance and chanting.

The dancers wear beautiful costumes, and visitors wear a sash on the hip to show respect in the temple. Being part of the ceremonies is a really special way to get acquainted with the spirituality of Balinese culture.

The Bukit area is also famous for its local seafood market - get up early to buy some of the day's fresh lobster, squid and matu matu. You can get this barbecued here or take it back to the villa to create your own seafood feast. It's a great way to meet some locals.

Art lovers will really appreciate being in Bukit, as you can go to the Jenggala Gallery and see local craftspeople at work making ceramics, buy some pots as souvenirs and even take a pottery class. Anyone interested in Asian or Indonesian art should also check out the Museum Pasifika. You can also try your hand at making your own perfume at the L'Atelier Parfums et Creations. Professional parfumiers will help you create your signature scent and make a bottle for you to take home with you.

If you've ever wanted to try paragliding, the southerly winds from May to October are perfect. Thrill seekers will fly in tandem with an instructor and get an unparalleled view of Bukit from above as they soar through the skies.
