This is a wonderful Balinese villa. As you walk in you cant help but go "Wow". Beautiful gardens, sensational living spaces and a huge pool. We have pools at home but a pool this big is not only great to use but it you feel like the King with a private mansion! Most of the rooms are large and apart from the main house with 3 rooms there are 3 separate villas. The decor is well done. The rooms are full of charm. The saffron bedroom whilst stunning is so big it is hard to cool. Echo and Pererenan Beaches are 10 minutes away on a push bike (provided). Echo beach is a great place for a Bintang beer and to watch the surfers. No good for swimming unless you are a surfer. The toddlers enjoyed paddling and making sandcastles with the black sand. We also hired motor scooters. Its looks scary on the roads but we loved using them and we are no spring chickens. Easy ride to Tanah Lot on them and they are $7 a day. We had our kids and grand kids with us (10 of us all up). The place was great for the whole family, but you do need to keep watch on the toddlers near the water and ledges. The staff were outstanding. They genuinely want you to enjoy your holiday and are very very attentive. Agus, Pittoo, Aria, Tina, Wyan, and Gide just to mention a few of the friendly and helpful staff. The chef was excellent and fed us wonderful dishes and was very flexible. There is a good projector but we just enjoyed playing family games at night (which you need to bring.) We also hired a table tennis table which was a good thing to do for a family. The place is very quiet and looks onto rice fields. This means you are away from bigger places like Seminyak. It takes about half an hour in the provided car to get there. One negative is that there is no credit card facility. Take plenty of local cash. It cost us about $25 per day per person for all our food needs (we ate well including suckling pig and lobster). You pay for food at cost plus a small mark up. The ATMs are 20 mins away and do not always work and have a $100 to $250 maximum limit. Chalina Estate is a five star experience and we would love to go back one day. It has provided us with wonderful memories which we will treasure forever.

Fantastic villa, amazing staff and beautiful grounds. Be prepared to be pampered by a full contingent of staff and take your elastic waist pants....you will need them after the amazing food from a top rate chef.

Amazing, beautiful!! We had the most fantastic, relaxing stay at Chalina Estate. Bagus and his staff couldn't do enough for us; the service was second to none. We stayed for five days with our families and had our wedding while we were there with 80 guests. Again, Bagus couldn't help enough! I highly recommend this stunning villa. My family and I definitely plan to return as soon as we can.
