The Villas Bali Hotel & Spa

The Villas Bali Hotel and Prana Spa began as the vision of artist Jim Elliott. He built the first villa for himself, incorporating traditional Balinese architecture with modern, western conveniences to suit his own creative needs. Soon friends, impressed with the simple elegance and lasting comfort, pressed him to build villas for them, following his original formula. A private villa that is a world within a world. Four walls containing lush gardens, individual thatched roofed bungalows, all featuring the latest audiovisual equipment and centered on a deep-water swimming pool. Every ingredient for a perfect life. Then a very interesting thing happened. Since many of the villas were built as vacation homes it made perfect sense to start renting them out. In the beginning, it was exclusively to other friends. Word spread. Suddenly, everybody wanted to rent our villas. From that grew the demand for a unique style of hotel management. As a business, The Villas Bali Hotel and Spa was born. Conveniently located in the heart of Seminyak, within walking distance to scores of international shops, top quality restaurants and the beach. Easily accessible to major arterial roads connecting to all parts of Bali. International Airport: 20 minutes
