Bali stole our hearts. Years ago we bought a plot of land on the beach and we built our beachhouse: Retreat Villa Ayu, now legal entity: PT Retreat Villa Ayu. Our experiences as a guest in many years in all sorts of places all over the world, learned us a lot about what it takes to be a good host. And that is what we try to be..:). For owners and staff in our Villa Ayu-staff there is 1 motto: "Happy Guest"

Our 8 person beachvilla 'Ayu' is located on the authentic north coast of Bali is fully staffed: Villa Cook, Housekeeping, Guest Assistant, Gardener, Security, Beach Cleaner. It is located between paddyfields, grapeyards and the sea. Direct beachfront: the garden ends on the volcanic sand beach. The villa garden (1800m2) is lush, full of flowers. The villa itself measures 220m2, thatched roof, enormous living and veranda, 4 airco bedrooms with 4 ensuite open bathrooms. A small road from the main road Seriti-Pemuteran leads you to the beachhouse. It is great for couples, families and groups of friends who enjoy the somewhat remote and real tropical atmosphere. It is not a party location. Regional centre Seririt and touristic Lovina are nearby however. You rent the villa exclusively: there are no other guests in 'your' villa. The villa has it's own private pool. High-speed (80 mbps) WiFi is free. The villa has an enormous veranda, overseeing the garden, the villa pool and: absolutely stunning sunsets. Villa Ayu is the place to relax as a romantic hideaway for two, but also for families with (grant)children or for a group of friends.
