Everything about our stay was wonderful. The staff was kind and accommodating. They gave us great recommendations on places to go. They cooked for us, they cleaned and the overall environment was peaceful and restful. At the staffs recommendation, we visited the waterfalls, the Buddhist temple, and went out on a dolphin watch. Everything was arranged for us. Certainly not a typical vacation for us from the US, but so enjoyable as the start of our Bali adventure. The communication was great with the owner and the staff, I cannot say enough good things about. Our safety and comfort was their a priority. Highly highly recommend. I wish I could have stayed there for a month.

If you are going to North Bali, make sure you try this villa out. The villa is nice with a great view of the ocean. Staff there is very helpful and cooking good meals. Many thanks to Surya, Kadak, and Ewak for taking care of us in the villa. Budi, the manager, was also very helpful, visited us daily to make sure things were all good. The driver, Deta, is also very good, taking us to places and provided info on Balinese culture. The owner Paul is also very responsive. I will recommend this place to friends and family.

What a great place to stay! The villa is beautiful! It was nice to have the pool and to be on the water! The gardens around the property were beautiful and well taken care of. The best part of our stay was the unbelievable care from the staff! They welcomed us upon arrival and we’re there to see us off. The manager made great suggestions of what to see, our cooks prepared wonderful meals, and our driver took us to amazing places! The Balinese people made the experience exceptional! Thank you all! Sue, Marty, Dan, Suzanne

Our 8-night stay in the villa was wonderful. The house is spacious, comfortable and impeccably clean. The view of the ocean is fabulous, the pool simply amazing. Having massages on the Bale benong (the lounge bed next to the ocean) incredibly relaxating! The best part of our stay way interacting with the staff who were all super friendly and attentive. Buddi, the property manager stopped by every morning to check on us and see if there was anything we needed. The food far exceeded our expectations. It was obvious that the ladies who cooked for us were eager to please us with every meal. We used the driver recommended by the host, Dharma, who was fantastic. He was anxious to show us the Balinese culture he so obviously loved. He answered all our questions about Bali’s history and the Hindu culture and traditions with the utmost patience. We returned home with a great appreciation for the beauty of the island and the Balinese people. We highly recommend staying at the Villa…you will not regret it.

Even better than the beautiful and peaceful location of the villa was the beautiful people of Bali! The villa was a perfect fit for us, 2 couples travelling to our bucket list location of Bali. We loved the location away from the tourist side, exactly what we wanted, we learned so much about Bali life and met many lovely people while we explored the area. The staff, or new friends as we now call them, were much appreciated. Every effort was made to make our stay the best. Surya made the most delicious meals and we felt spoiled by how well we were looked after. Our driver Kadek took us to some beautiful spots, always safely amid the chaos of scooter traffic! Thank you Paul and Melanie for making our stay at your villa easy, safe and so very enjoyable!

I hate writing negative reviews. Just want to enjoy my vacation that I planned for ages. This was it, but this just started off badly, and although many aspects of the house were great, many were not and this is where things became untenable for me. Got delayed flying over and ended up in airports or on planes for about two days straight. Getting to the villa proved difficult as the taxi driver got lost trying to find it. Calling the property manager and asking if there was a key pad or a code I should know to get in the villa, kept responding relax relax. It’s hard to relax after not sleeping for so long. They had the staff waiting to cook us food, so it’s a perfect representation of the house. A nice surprise turned into an aggravation. Got locked out my first night going for late swim. The patio door had a lock at the bottom that if you close the door to hard, it turns and falls into place. Had to call security who didn’t speak English and put a ladder against the bathroom wall and told me to climb. Ended up falling and hurting myself and had to go to two hospitals, wonders response was it was my fault for this or that reason. Even though I sent a video of the door lock not working properly. The broken lights all outside were replaced that second day though. They turn off your AC no matter if you go to the pool or out for the day. So even though it’s 95 degrees Fahrenheit all day, you return to a house that is equally as hot so the owners can save on money. This stinks to return to a hot villa at night when you’ve been sweating all day. Third night, my partner freaked out because he saw two men walking around late at night. They had taken the ladder from the first night and positioned it against his bathroom wall. Regardless to say we all freaked out and barricaded the doors. I called the property manager who told me this was the security for the street and again just to relax, relax. So these two guys in hoodies and smoking cigarettes are meant to be outside your bedroom at midnight. Again no communication that this was a thing. Location is cool if you plan to relax and stay in most days. But the temples and shadow plays and scuba and everything are all a few hours away no matter what. So plan accordingly. Ended up leaving about four days early on my dream vacation to go seek medical aid back home for my hip. The staff were great and the house was lovely, but too much stress and hassle for my vacation.

“Wow” was the word each of us said as we arrived in the villa and it only got better. You need to stay here to appreciate how wonderful it is. All communication was excellent and once we arrived Surya, Kadek and Ewik looked after us and provided lovely breakfasts and lunches and the best dinners. We also made use of the driver for our stay. He took us on some lovely trips and days out and into Lovina on an evening. The villa is about 3 hours from the airport but definitely worth the journey. We spent most evenings at the villa for dinner as everyone preferred Surya’s cooking! All in all this villa and the lovely people that looked after us provided us with the perfect holiday and we very much hope to return one day.

The villa was beautiful and right on the beach. Combined with the great house staff, we never wanted to leave!

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at this Villa near Seririt. The distance from the airport was significant but it was well worth it to experience the true local beauty of Bali and the people

This is an astonishing home in North Bali. Beautiful sunset on the beach right outside of the property. Friendly staffs work in the villa. I will definitely come back again and highly recommend to people who are seeking a relaxing vacation.

Family of four from Canada enjoyed our stay immensely in March 2020. Host was very accommodating and caring changing reservations to assist our unexpected disruptions in travel. The staff were wonderful cooking first class meals and keeping the place immaculate! We loved the premises, yard and pool that our 2 teenage boys used extensively. Beautiful area and will be back!

From the communication with the owner, the ladies of the home, the home itself, Budhi the manager, the drivers, the food that was prepared for us and so much more...BEYOND AMAZING! We had 3 couples in our party...we wanted for nothing...Can't wait to return...beyond grateful to have found this piece of paradise :)

We are very seasoned travellers and would highly recommend this place to stay. Everything was as described. Staff were amazing. Would highly recommend.

Thank you for the amazing 2 weeks at villa Yudhistira! Every detail, from the villa itself to each staff's attention to details gave us an outstanding experience! The villa itself is beautiful but what really makes the difference is the exceptional team welcoming us. Paul's (owner) call at the beginning of our stay, Surya, Kadek and Ewik's authentic kindness and caring, cleaning, cooking and massages and Yus’ (driver) personalized tour guide approach were all elements that made the stay at Yudhistira an extraordinary highlight of our trip in Bali. Leaving Yudhistira felt like leaving our new adopting family! We will for sure come back to Yudhistira if we can and recommend the villa to all our friends and family. Personnaly, we preferred our time in the North of Bali. We found it more authentic, calm and less touristic than the crowded South (peninsula). The snorkeling at Menjangan, the Ijen Blue Fire (volcano on Java island) and Rice Terraces trips, all accessible from the North, have been our top 3 highlights from the whole 1 month trip in Bali! Family from Quebec, Canada

We had a wonderful stay, the staff were lovely and accommodating and the property itself is stunning. It’s a little far and remote but exactly what we needed. It meant we spent more time having lovely dinners and conversations at home and lots of massages and yoga classes. 14/10 would go again next year

Wir hatten einen sehr entspannten Aufenthalt in der Villa. Die Angestellten sind sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Die Aussenanlage mit Garten und Pool ist traumhaft - noch schöner als auf den Bildern. Einziger kleiner Negativpunkt sind die Ameisen, welche sich ab und zu den Weg durch die Zimmer bahnen. Ich denke, dass in dieser Region dies nicht wirklich vermeidbar ist. Die Villa kann/werde ich uneingeschränkt Freunden weiterempfehlen.

Urlaub machen in dieser Villa ist wie Urlaub machen im Paradies....ein tolles Haus in den Händen von lieben Menschen die den Aufenthalt zu einem fantastischen Erlebnis machen...es war ein perfekter Strandurlaub, es wurden alle Erwartungen erfüllt und übertroffen!! Vielen Dank Paul, daß wir Gast sein durften in deinem Haus!!! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall sehr gerne wieder....

Nous avons voulu du repos de la tranquillité nous avons été ravis.Mais surtout ce qui a fait la différence c’est la qualité du personnel juste magique toujours disponible à l’écoute de nos attentes vraiment super. Le driver est un très bon chauffeur et on était en totale sécurité avec lui.Chaque problème à été solutionné rapidement grâce à Budi😉.Je laisserai une mention spéciale aux 3 cuisinières qui ont étés adorables avec nos filles. On reviendra et on en parlera autour de nous un grand Merci 🙏 👌😉

To put it short 10 + Stars! Where do we begin? Well maybe we should start with “Swastyastu” as we were coached  Right from the beginning, Paul the Villa owner was extremely responsive to all of our VRBO enquiries going over and above to respond back to us in detail and in a timely manner. Paul proved to be a man of high integrity as everything turned out exactly as promised and/or more. We had the honour of experiencing his hospitality, generosity, and genuine care that our time in both his villa and Bali was more than we dreamed. The villa staff are more than AMAZING! Surya, Kadek and Ewik were exceptional cooks, flexible and always willing to do anything to put a smile on our faces! Rather than select our meals we had them surprise us daily with their creations; we were not disappointed! The girls provide a relaxing massage on the baelong as you listen to the ocean. Kumong beautifully maintained the property. Budi the manager checked in on us daily and even helped our family have a unique session with a Hindu priest. Our private driver Yus safely shuttle us around to explore and learn about Bali was like having a tour guide, interpreter, cultural coach and merchandise negotiator all in one! His knowledge, passion, character and sense of humor will not be forgotten. The entire Villa staff all truly helped coordinate our perfect family vacation, with numerous options of local and/or distant excursions that was specifically tailored to our children 12 & 17 as well as my wife and I. The Villa itself is more than advertised. The house is spacious, spotless; the inside and outdoor furniture layout is extremely functional combined with comfortable beds and air conditioning. The private pool area, views and the baelong were absolutely treasured. The location of the Villa is perfect and within short distance to Seririt, Lovina and Menjangan Island, well away from the busy crowds. The black sand and warm calm waters of the ocean were second to none with views of fisherman and pods of dolphins. Peace and serenity here. Being Canadian and having travelled around the world there is no doubt in our minds that not only will you be treated to an exceptional beachfront Villa, authentic delicious food; but it is the amazing staff that are the “X” factor as they will ensure you experience Bali and its special culture in ways not possible anywhere else. Needless to say we gained a Bali family and a new favorite vacation destination! Suksma

The villa was beautiful and immaculate. The staff were very caring and attentive. We used the car and driver for the week and went on little excursions every day with his help. He knew the best places to take us and was quite entertaining.We looked forward to coming back to the villa each day to swim in the beautiful pool and have an amazing meal prepared by the staff. I truly felt like I was at a 5 star hotel. Away from all the tourist but just a short ride away from anything that you would need. The staff is the crown jewel of this paradise on earth. If in Bali this is the place.

We had a great time at villa Yudhistira. The villa was imaculate and the staff worked hard to keep it that way. The pool was great and the landscaping was beautiful. The girls that work in the villa anticipated our every need and did everything with a smile. Food was amazing and massages every day I could have stayed forever. Our driver Yus was the best. Very accommodating and so much fun. My only disappointment was the beach. It was pretty littered with trash. But over all it was a place I would stay again.

Deze villa is een klein paradijsje! Ligt direct aan zee, maar je kunt ook heerlijk genieten van het lekkere warme zwembad. De locatie wordt zeer goed dagelijks onderhouden en alles ziet er tip-top uit. Ruime slaapkamers en zeer vriendelijk personeel wat ook nog eens lekker kan koken. Super!

Prachtige villa met ruime kamers! Alles ziet er tip-top uit en wordt dagelijks onderhouden. Zeer vriendelijk personeel wat ook nog eens lekker kan koken voor je. Ligt direct aan de zee, maar voor de liefhebbers ook nog een lekker (warm) zwembad. Een plekje voor je rust. Aanrader!

We just got back from our first trip to Bali and we split our time between the north and south of the island, we picked out this property in the north from the reviews and the pictures we saw and it didn't disappoint. Budi the property manager was excellent and his advice on places to go was spot on. We would talk to him about where and what we would like to see and he would give us the merits of it and suggest maybe other options, his choice of waterfalls to see besides Gitgit was perfect and made for an excellent day hike. Can't say enough about hiring a driver for the 9 days we were there, we had two and they were always on time and very helpful and with the traffic on the island they took the stress out of getting around. We would spend one day doing an outing and the next day relaxing by the pool, having our own pool was a highlight and we really lucked out with perfect weather for our whole stay. The ladies Surya, Ewik and Kadek always made sure we felt welcome and were so helpful and the Villa was always kept super clean. Normally we didn't worry about having them make us breakfast as we tend to just like toast and coffee but we did make use of having them make our dinner and we really enjoyed the different dishes and generous portions, I know we put on weight. We were looking for a relaxing quite getaway with some excursions and this was perfect. Will we go again? Absolutely!! Ray and Ricki Victoria BC, Canada

We had such an awesome time in Bali staying at the Yudhistira Villa. The property is amazing and the staff were absolutely wonderful. The Villa is so well kept and is a real credit to the entire team. Everything that it was promised to be. Every meal was delicious and nutritious and the ladies bent over backwards to ensure we felt comfortable. Massages by the beach in our own private bungalow after a big day of trekking helped us relax and recover for our next days adventure. The North Shore of Bali is a must if you want to experience the real Bali lifestyle. The people who live there are so friendly and we felt safe and comfortable our entire time. We made use of the Villa hire car and driver Agus. He was a great driver and everything and anything that we wanted to, he took us there. Early starts and late nights are common but well worth it. Every morning you get to see an exquisite sunrise over the ocean and beach, and each night a beautiful sunset over Java and the ocean. The scenery will leave you in awe every minute of your travels. We highly recommend Budi and his team for your next visit. Thank you Paul for letting us experience the little piece of paradise that you have created for all to enjoy. We will visit again. Phill

Villa yudhistira is a wonderful place to visit. It allows you the ability to completely relax in the way that an all inclusive resort would. There is a wonderful staff that will shop and cook for you as you enjoy a beautiful black sand beach. Hiring the driver is a wonderful addition because the driving in bali seemed to be a little overwhelming but having our driver for two weeks let us relax and take in the scenenary as we went on our trips to different parts of the island. Also the driver and the manager of the property Budi took care of setting up anything you want to see. This was was a wonderful luxury villa and really look forward to visiting again.

For myself and my family, this villa was the main reason for the best vacation ever! The house is so serene, relaxing and beautiful. The staff will take care of your every need; shop, cook, clean and massage! You didn't have to worry about a thing. The location made it possible to see/do lots of sightseeing/fishing/snorkeling/shopping and than come back ready to relax. Paul and Melanie Visser (owners), you have a gem! We will return!

We could not have found a better place to stay in Bali. Impeccable decor, facilities, staff and location. Pictures don't do any justice to how beautiful that place is. The owner and the manager take great interest in keeping the place as conformable for our stay. We enjoyed this part of the stay more than anywhere else in Bali. Our next vacation would be in North Bali at this villa again.
