Location

Though hidden down a quiet residential lane, the area’s many hipster spots, vegan cafes, spas and boutique stores are mere minutes away. A five-minute drive and you have your choice of beach clubs from Finns Beach Club to Café Del Mar and the new and gorgeous - Mari Beach Club. The expanse of black volcanic sand at Berawa Beach — perfect for surfing, sunset walks and people-watching is five minutes away as well and a quick 15-minute drive takes you into the heart of Seminyak, with its myriad acclaimed restaurants, boutiques and spas.
Villa Nini Elly’s manager will have a wealth of information about nearby places of interest and will help arrange transport and make any bookings required. Do also ask the staff about the local area. Many of them live nearby and will be able to give an interesting insight into some of the fascinating aspects of Bali life.In the meantime, here is a taste of the many and varied activities on offer within reach of the villa.Fashionistas, trendies and shop-a-holics should hot-foot it down to Seminyak, Bali’s most cosmopolitan enclave. Here, you can indulge for hours in the glut of stylish, chic boutiques. There is a wide choice of fine dining, mid range, and cheap ‘n cheerful restaurants in Seminyak too: fine dining venues include Mama San, Sardine and Métis.A nice sunset alternative is to head down to Echo Beach where a number of cafes offer good sunset views and cold beer. Note that the beach here is dark sand and the waters are better suited to surfing, having a pronounced swell and rip, rather than children’s swimming. Hotel Tugu, a very stylish and eclectic boutique hotel on the coast, a few minutes closer to the villa, is also a good sunset spot.
