        <p itemprop="description">We stayed at La Balian with two other families in July 2018. Prior/post booking, all questions to the host were responded to in a prompt, thorough and reassuring manner. The drivers were easy to find at the airport and safely delivered us all to the villa.
When we booked we were expecting something impressive but were blown away once we arrived. The surrounding rice fields are stunning - some of the best we’ve ever seen in Bali, and the villa itself is beautifully integrated into the peaceful green surrounds. We loved everything about La Balian - the rooms, beds, food, furnishings, daily massages and the infinity swimming pool. Ohh the food!!! We’ve stayed in quite a few villas but never experienced such wonderful staff. Super friendly, helpful and genuinely lovely people who went out of their way to create an amazing experience for all.

A few of the group were surfers and yogis - the villa yoga ashram was perfect (as was the local instructor) and the Balian Beach surf was world-class.

What a special villa in a special place! We will be back.

Tip: make use of the brand new villa scooters and bikes that can be hired and explore the surrounding area.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">My family and I stayed at La Balian for 5 days in February 2018. From the booking to the check out all went almost perfect. Polly is very professional and flexible through the booking. She promptly answered all questions we had and provided useful recommendations. On the day of arrival, we were welcomed by the staff with the Balinese hospitality which made us feel immediately “at home”. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
The villa and its surroundings are very serene and beautiful, a perfect place for a retreat. The pool overlooking the rice fields is stunning. The options for activities (cooking workshop and yoga) in the villa are nice diversions to do with a group. During our stay, we had yoga sessions at 7 in the morning in the open air with the scenic rice fields as a backdrop. 
The cooks in the villa made excellent food (both western and indonesian dishes). If you would like to eat out, the staff could also provide good recommendations.
One night we had a power cut for a few hours (which could happen in Bali). Our family sat outside by the pool, enjoying the serenity, the sound of nocturnal animals, and watching the hundreds twinkling stars on the sky.
It takes about 2-3 hours from Seminyak to the villa. However, it was worth it! As they say, what is worth waiting, is worth having. 
It was such a wonderful experience to stay in the villa. Our compliments to Polly and her staff.

With a huge pool with infinity edge overlooking the rice fields you feel you are swimming through them.

Outdoor bathrooms in each room add to the feeling of being part of the tranquil surroundings, if you are looking for a peaceful relaxing place to stay - this is it!!   
Pickup from airport to La Balian provided & return, prepare yourself for the tranquility you have been looking for in Bali.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">This is a fantastic villa in an amazing location with fantastic staff.

We were a family of 15 travelling around the island of Bali and spent 6 nights at this villa.

The villa is a beautiful as the pictures! Each room is well equipped, the style lovely and the pool great! Being in the middle of paddy fields, you're really away from it all and can relax with great views over the fields.

The staff were fantastic, nothing was too much for them (even a couple of requests for 5AM breakfasts!) and they even took one of the party to the local village to get some items on their bike. Vicky the chef prepared a number of meals for us ranging from light lunches to dinners which were all fantastic.

The villa itself is approximately 1km from the main road down a narrow track which provides a lovely walk through the fields. If you have limited mobility, this track is best handled by car - the villa can arrange transport with local drivers.

As the villa is in a rural area, you should be prepared for bugs, geckos and other wildlife. The en-suite bathrooms also are open to the outside with varying levels of openness (depending on the room you're in) to the outside though not overlooked and therefore are private.

The local Balian beach is a 20 minute walk - along the track for 1km, approx 500m on the main road and then down the beach access road for approx 1km. The local beach is black sand and very expansive. when we went, the tide was out and we had the whole beach to ourselves - bliss! 

For anyone looking for a Balinese holiday away from the madding crowds, this is the place to stay</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We booked a 4 night stay at La Balian Villa for a friend and family holiday, taking up the entire villa, which turned into a wedding! From the very 1st communication, Polly was extremely helpful and answered every question in detail. She kept us informed all the way up to the point we left for Bali, even sending a checklist of all the things you generally forget while organizing a wedding. She organized a cake, decorations and extra staff for the big day, and charged local rates rather than Aussie big bucks! Fabulous service! The journey to the villa took us around 2 hours and being Bali, was eventful at times! We snaked through villages and sometimes horrendous traffic, but seeing as much of the west coast as you do on the journey kept the journey from being too boring. When we arrived at the villa after a short dirt track ride through rice paddy fields, we were greeted by the staff who gave us a welcome drink of freshly squeezed fruit juice and amazingly friendly smiles of genuine excitement at seeing new tenants! Once we settled everyone into their rooms, everyone remarked just how stunningly beautiful this villa is. It's open plan, and the bathrooms in each room look out into the jungle...with no window! It's definitely being at one with nature when the call of nature comes! This however does not detract from the villa, which is modern, clean and very inviting. The pool was utilized everyday and was welcome relief from the usual Balinese weather at this time of year. We were treated to what I can only describe as proper Indonesian home cooking from the staff, and every dish was delicious. We had a banana and honey smoothie served up at breakfast one morning and it's honestly the best smoothie I've tasted. The staff were constantly busy, preparing meals or cleaning up, nothing was a hassle and if they could give us something we asked for, they did, or went and sourced the ingredients to make it. Being so far away from all the hustle and bustle gave each day a feeling of tranquility and local drivers were on hand to transport anyone if they wanted to venture out. One thing that niggled away at me was the tendency to try and score a high price for the trips we took, but that is a minor gripe. 
I cannot recommend this place enough. If you want peace and quiet, a great family or friends holiday away from the bright lights, a fantastic wedding venue or just something different...book this gem.</p>

            <span>Thanks Stuart for your kind comments. I'm onto the local drivers to discuss their rates; they don't miss an opportunity to make extra money from unsuspecting travellers!

Hope to see you in the future now you've seen how good the west coast of Bali can be.</span>

Set amongst emerald green rice paddies and jungle, yet only minutes from an internationally famous surf beach, the location suited us perfectly.
Our host Polly, had thought of everything to ensure our late night arrival went smoothly and we were greeted by wonderful staff and a stunning meal.
All the suites are beautifully appointed, comfortable and stylish, set amongst the lush gardens. A classic understated elegance resonates though the whole property. We were looked after beautifully by the staff and the choice of menu and quality of meals provided was first class and to be applauded.
We had a fantastic and relaxing stay and will definitely be returning with other family members to enjoy the beautiful La Balian yet again.

        <p itemprop="description">We are from Germany and got married in Bali and rented LaBalian Villa and Retreat for a week to host our family.  All in all we were 14 people and occupied all 8 bedrooms. 

The villa is about a 2h drive from the airport and lies within lush green rice fields. 

We were very warmly greeted by the staff with welcome drinks and refreshments and our first impression was even better than we had expected from the pictures online. The rooms are modern and furnished in a simple, minimalistic style with outdoor bathrooms surrounded by jungle. The AC worked well and was very quiet. The staff cleans everyday and changes towels and linens (two very sweet girls who will take care of you and organize everything from daytrips to Ubud  to massages at the villa). 

The infinity pool is beyond awesome, also very clean and from the edge you have a great, relaxing view over the rice fields. 

Breakfast was included, we could choose from different options: American style with bacon and eggs or healthier, with fruit, cereals and banana pancakes. Indonesian style breakfast was also available. Of course we tried everything and it was all delicious ;) 

For dinner we had Vicky, the local chef, cook for us. Her food was among the best we had tried in Bali. We paid around 60€ for a dinner for 14 px, including ingredients  and the service fee for preparation, cooking, laying the table and cleaning up afterwards. 

The beach is about a 20 min walk away with beautiful black volcanic sand and ideal for surfing. It's actually a very nice walk through the rice fields and balian village. 

If you're looking for a luxury getaway that is not overrun by tourists, very reasonably priced and with all the comforts and amenities anyone could wish for, then this is the right spot for you.

And don't make the mistake to book only 1 or 2 nights. You most certainly will regret it ;)
