Magnificient Villa Lonis in Bali-Indonedia

With the four-bedroom main villa, a two-bedroom villa, one-bedroom villa, and several extra beds, Avalon offers multiple rental options for anything from one to 21 guests.

It’s rare to find such a well-established villa in a quiet location 60m from the beach (only temple land lies between) and yet just a five-minute taxi ride from Seminyak.

Beyond the entrance is sunset bar and tapas haven La Laguna.

A five-minute stroll along the sand brings you to Mozaic Beach Club and a few simple beachfront cafes; W Hotel and Potato Head are just a little further.

Within the Avalon estate itself are several sociable living spaces (both formal and informal, indoor and alfresco) – the mark of award-winning architect Popo Danes who conceived the estate as a harmonious blend of contemporary design with a Balinese community feel and an Asian twist.

When all three villas are booked together, the maximum capacity of 21 still doesn’t feel like a crowd; there are plenty secluded corners for quiet escape. And yet a honeymooning couple basking in the romance of the one-bedroom villa alone may feel they have the entire estate to themselves, such is the intimacy of the layout.

No wonder Avalon is a sought-after venue for an enchanting tropical wedding, a renewal-of-vows ceremony and indeed family celebrations of all kinds!

While guests snooze on their private bedroom terrace, enjoy a few laps in one of the estate’s three pools, gather around the pool table with a few beers, curl up with a good book in the air-conditioned library, or indulge in an in-room spa treatment, the well-trained ten-strong staff (including a competent chef) work discreetly in the background to provide stellar service from morning until night.
