About this villa rental
Villa Cocoa Maya is a well-appointed villa on the Candidasa seafront, set just 20 metres back from the beach. It has magnificent, sweeping views across the Lombok Strait and is home to a number of internationally celebrated dive sites.
Decorated in an eclectic mix of contemporary and traditional Balinese furniture, the furnishings and free-flowing architectural styling provide a relaxed and comfortable environment for a beach holiday.
The villa’s four extremely spacious bedroom suites each have their own bathroom and large lounge areas with their own unsurpassed ocean views. Three of the suites also have a balcony. The fourth suite is ideal for children, with a king-size bed that can be separated into 2 twin beds and a double bunk. Two extra mattresses are available for a maximum of twelve guests to enjoy the villa.
In addition there is an open-plan, inside living/dining area, as well as a large outdoor covered lounge set back from the sea, and a dining terrace situated closer to the ocean. The spacious garden is complemented by the massive 18m long infinity swimming pool.
Unusually for Candidasa, the villa leads directly onto a white sand beach (many oceanfront properties in the town have ocean access off a retaining wall only). It is therefore possible to enjoy not only the picturesque little beach right on your doorstep, but also the excellent swimming and snorkeling directly off the beach. In addition, it is one of the few properties in Candidasa where dive companies are able to collect and drop you by boat directly in front of the villa!

• Our cooks are in charge of your daily complimentary breakfast, and will provide any other meals you would like off our à la carte menu, or want to have prepared.

Food and beverages
A complimentary breakfast from our breakfast menu is provided throughout your stay. Food is such an interesting, and delicious, part of a Balinese holiday that we offer an à la carte menu of Balinese and international cuisine which is prepared by the villa cooks. There are also numerous restaurants in walking distance of the villa.

Bedroom Suites
All four suites have air conditioning and ceiling fans. All bed linen is pure cotton. Ample cupboard space is provided and each suite has a large open-plan seating area with comfortable sofas. The garden suite has a large SMART TV.
Joglo Suite
The master suite, the only accommodation on the top floor, is the piéce de resistance, not only of Villa Cocoa Maya but, we like to think, the whole of Candidasa! To our knowledge this is the only property in Candidasa which incorporates a Javanese joglo as a bedroom and, as an added bonus, has unequalled mountain and ocean views!
A joglo is a wooden frame building built from solid teak, using only joinery. Individually built, each joglo is unique, with the carving style and structural details being decided by the craftsman. The joglo in Villa Cocoa Maya is a magnificent example of Javanese craftsmanship and carving.
The bedroom’s special feel is further enhanced by wrap-around windows, and glass sliding doors that lead onto a large private balcony. Views from the Joglo suite stretch across the Lombok Strait to the Blue Lagoon peninsula, Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Penida, and even the island of Lombok itself on a clear day.
In keeping with the history of the overarching structure, the romantic 120m² Joglo suite is appointed with a solid teak four-poster bed, overhung by a mosquito net. In addition there is a day bed on which to relax, two air conditioners and a bar fridge. On the large balcony there is outdoor furniture on which to relax, where you can enjoy early morning coffee or evening cocktails. The bathroom has an enclosed toilet, a basin, a bath and an ‘open-to-the-stars’ shower.
Gamelan Suite
Situated on the first floor of the villa, the 56m² bedroom in the Gamelan suite has its own furnished balcony – leading from glass sliding doors – on which to relax, while drinking in the magnificent ocean views. It also has a beautiful king-size four-poster bed with a mosquito net; and an open-plan sitting area with a comfortable L-shaped rattan lounge suite. There is air conditioning, a ceiling fan and a bar fridge. The large bathroom has an enclosed toilet, a basin and a shower.
Ikat Suite
Situated on the first floor next to the Gamelan suite, the bedroom in this suite measures 56m². Furnished with a king-size bed and a comfortable L-shaped rattan sofa set, this bedroom has wrap-around glass windows from which to admire the ocean views. There is air conditioning, a ceiling fan and a bar fridge. The bathroom comprises a toilet, a shower and a basin.
Garden Suite
Situated on the ground floor, this 60m² bedroom leads directly, via glass sliding doors, out onto a patio, the garden, pool and the sea. The suite has a king-size beds which can convert into 2 twin-beds, and a double bunk making it ideal for children or teenagers of a family with two smaller children, and an open-plan sitting area with a comfortable sofa on which to relax and a large SMART TV. The bedroom also has an air conditioner and a ceiling fan. The spacious bathroom has an enclosed toilet, basin and shower.
We also own a villa in Ubud which we rent as either 3, 4, 5 or 6 bedrooms. Subject to availability we offer discounted stays at both villas when rented as one package. We also provide free transfers between the two villas. Please view Villa Sagitta – property number 1004078 - on VRBO.

The villa is absolutely amazing! The pictures online were amazing… but seeing it in person is breathtaking. Even better than the villa itself…is the staff. Komang and team were incredible. The villa was always clean, the grounds and pool were always kept…and the food they prepared was amazing. Best of all…they were great to talk to and…after a week together…they felt like family. Special thanks to our drivers Katut and Yoman who we spent a lot of time with sightseeing around the island. They were phenomenal! We enjoyed getting to know them both.
Everyone we met with associated with the Villa was truly amazing. They made the vacation even more special. Someday…when Bali calls again…we will not hesitate to return to Villa Cocoa Maya!

Everyone was absolutely friendly and helpful. We felt very at home while we stayed there. The crew at cocoa maya is a big asset for the property owners.

The house is absolutely stunning, and the views can’t be beat. Also, I can’t say enough about the staff they went above and beyond in every way. Would highly recommend this property if you were looking to be a little out of the way. This was our first trip to Bali, and the only slight disappointment was that we seem to be well outside the main tourist areas. But if you were looking for a quieter experience in beautiful surroundings, this is a great property.

What an amazing property inside and out! The home had large rooms and was beautifully furnished with modern baths equipped with nice linens, toiletries, blow dryers and converters. The outdoor area was an oasis with spectacular views, beautiful gardens with multiple seating areas to sun, relax and enjoy meals. The staff, led by Komang, were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food was delicious with lots of choices and cooked to ordered for each guest. Each evening, Komang helped to arrange massages, tours, drivers and supplies for our next day adventures. We were celebrating a special occasion and Komang arranged for beautiful cake decorated with birthday girl’s name, candles and staff came out singing birthday wishes. I Nyoman Karinu was our main driver for week and was a wonderful tour guide helping us to navigate each day’s trip. Thank you to the owner who was very quick to respond before we arrived with all questions and request. We truly can’t say enough about the location, staff and home except to say we would highly recommend this property for a family vacation.

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We were pretty much at the house the whole time because of the situation with covid-19. The staff was amazing and we were well taken care of. We will be back again to see Bali properly soon hopefully!
Thank you

We are 4 couples who have just returned from a 6 night stay here at Villa Cocoa Maya. Book it, you will not be disappointed! A short drive down a narrow track past the cockrells takes you to this gem right on the beach. The pictures are as it is. Komang the villa manager and her team work hard to make your stay just perfect. They will cook delicious food from the menu, book taxis, arrange trips at your request. The rooms are huge and beautifully decorated. A fabulous stay in Candidasa, Bali.

Family stay at Cocoa Maya
We are a family with 5 children, 3 to 11 years old, 4 parents and 2 grandparents who spend two weeks in Cocoa Maya. We all had a wonderful time in the big house with plenty of space inside and outside. The house is beautiful decorated, the staff are all very friendly and effective, Komang was able to arrange almost every event we wanted. The pool and the garden were kept clean all the time and we also enjoyed the swimming and snorkelling in the sea just outside. We hope to come back.

Very well appointed villa with the beautiful sea-view from all the bedrooms. Snorkeling right off the villa. It is very nice to see the coral are coming back around the area. The food at the villa was delicious but a little more expensive compared to outside restaurant. We really enjoyed outdoor dinning area. Thank you Komang for arranging all our needs in very short notice. Overall, we were very happy with our experience at Villa Coca Maya. When we come back the next time, looking forward to staying the one in Ubud and Semiyak.

The villa and location was stunning. I have stayed in many villas and by far Komong and her team were the best.......nothing was too much trouble and they helped us to create special memories. In villa food was great and the Babi gulang feast was amazing thanks to the fabulous Ketut. We will be back.

This property is in a stunning location and ocean view is stunning. The staff were more than accommodating and treated us like family. The house was spotless and the staff worked hard to keep everyone happy. We rented a boat and saw most of the coast line at Blue Lagoon and swam at white sand beach. Make sure you bring a nice tip for the 7 boatman who hall in your boat onto shore as they work hard and have very little. They great you with the biggest smile and are appreciate.

Villa Cocoa Maya provided a luxurious and peaceful haven for our family holiday. Just what we needed after a blast of a wedding in busy Ubud.
The location of the house is absolutely superb, right on the beach with magnificent views from all the spacious rooms which are presented beautifully and made even more characterful with interesting artwork and furniture.
We particularly enjoyed watching the local fishermen bring back the boats and the daily catch each morning, right in front of the property.
On two days Komang, the house manager, helped us select some fresh fish which the staff cooked for our evening meal.
All in all, a very memorable stay!

My husband and adult daughter and I stayed here for five days. It is a fabulous villa. The pictures are accurate, but the interior decor is more beautiful than pictured. The marble floors alone are breathtaking. No expense has been spared. The Jogolo suite is the most fabulous master bedroom I have ever been in! The staff is helpful, and the meals quite good. The infinity pool was perfect for doing laps or just relaxing. It was easy to arrange a driver, and also a private boat to take us snorkeling at Blue Lagoon ($40 USD for the day). Don't miss snorkeling at Amed ($45 USD for a driver for the day). Overall, a magnificent villa and experience. We would come back here again. We would definitely recommend this villa.

We loved our stay in this beautiful fishing village, so much calmer than the more frenetic southern Bali area, and the villa was fantastic. Had lots of fun on the kayaks and there’s perfect snorkelling with a big variety of fish literally in front of the house. Don’t miss out on snorkelling (or diving) at the islands just a short way out to sea, it was spectacular. Komang organised a fishing boat to take us. We also appreciated the menu system at the villa (which meant no cooking for us!) and the food was delicious – thank you Komang and team for spoiling us, and looking after us so well. Cocoa Maya was a perfect end to a perfect island holiday and we definitely hope to be back!
