We had a wonderful vacation! Direkshan and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. We did not use the service this much during our last stay five years ago because we did not know what was possible. But this time we found out that almost everything was possible. We even had diving lessons in our own pool at the villa. We told the manager that we'd like to rent scooters for sightseeing and they were brought to villa (around 5 Dollar per day). Though the traffic seems to be chaotic, driving a scooter is easy and fun. Much easier than driving by car. Food and beverages at the villa were very good and for a reasonable prices. Direkshan had very good recommendations for restaurants, made reservations and organised the pickup. So even for a longer stay in a bigger group it is not necessary to rent a car. Villa and garden are beautiful with enough possibilities to be together or to find a silent spot to be alone, eg. in the pavilion at the sea. You won't find extravagant nightlife and excessive shopping possibilities in Pemuteran. But Pemuteran is a very nice and traditional village with very, very friendly people and it is a great diving spot. All in all we had one of our laziest holidays with action and activities when we felt like it. We would definitely love to come back!

Villa Wilali is easily a place you will dream about returning to, with its lovely seaside view, gorgeous infinity pool, and kind and helpful staff. We ate all of our meals at the villa including many vegetarian options. We opted to go for a snorkeling trip to Menjangan Island, which was arranged by the villa staff with pick up by boat right at the villa. Direksen was attentive to our needs and was warm hearted and caring about our enjoyment at Villa Wilali.

A fantastic well-appointed property that far exceeded the expectations of our group of 4 who spent 3 nights in Pemuteran mainly for diving. Villa Wilali is a grand residence suited for a group of 3+, situated right on the beach in a wonderfully maintained, large compound. The view from the living room and large pool spans the horizon of the ocean with direct foot access if desired. The house has full facilities and a professional staff supports it until 8pm daily. Concierge Komang Astika is always available via a provided house mobile phone. Altogether, a wonderful residence that we recommend to anyone choosing to visit this 'real' part of Bali. We will gladly return on our next trip. Thank you Komang and Cisca for a wonderful stay!

I had the pleasure of staying at Villa Wilali for seven nights and I must say that out of all the selections provided, this was indeed the right choice. This was my first time in Bali but it won’t be the last. From the airport pickup to the airport drop off, the hospitality was second to none. The villa manager ensured we were taking care of and the property was immaculate. We only ate off the property twice because the food was so good!!!! The kitchen staff and the food (especially the ice tea w/Lemon Grass) was the absolute best!!! We took a trip into Ubud for a quad adventure and we also went snorkeling (the manager set this up). Both trips added to the amazement of Bali. We has massages daily on the beach and our final night, we had a Balinese Dance group come to the villa and perform three numbers. We also had a roasted suckling pig that was the best I’ve ever tasted. I highly recommend this villa for relaxation and peace and quiet. If you want to get away from the touristy areas of Bali and experience the small village scenery, Villa Wilali should be your choice. The atmosphere is magical and I didn’t need a vacation from the vacation when I arrived back home. I was well rested and refreshed.

Our time at Villa Wilali was absolutely stunning. We were a group of six, three couples, and had just an incredible week. The staff made sure that every request we had was quickly and efficiently met, in particular Astika, the house manager, went above and beyond anything we asked for during our stay. He helped arrange two snorkeling trips, a fishing trip, a sunrise hike, scooters, and even a very special sunset dinner with traditional Balinese dancing at the Villa. The town of Pemuteran was lovely and only a 20-30 minute walk from the Villa. We enjoyed several restaurants including Frangpini’s, Badini’s, Man’s Cottage, and Organic Restaurant. We also enjoyed cocktails at Joe’s Bar. If you are considering a stay on the north side of Bali I highly recommend staying here, it is worth every penny and will provide life long memories.

The best of Bali without the crowds! Beautiful villa located right on the water. The staff were attentive but never intrusive - organising transport and activities, preparing delicious meals or recommending local places to eat, and caring for the villa and the beautiful gardens. We were so relaxed we didn’t want to leave! Cisca was great to communicate with, very responsive to questions and generous with inclusions. Thanks for a terrific holiday

The best part of Villa Willali was the gorgeous, manicured grounds. Also the staff; who went above and beyond to make sure we had all we needed at all times. (Hint: feel free to ask for ANYTHING. They’ll do their best to accommodate. Examples: we asked where we could get cigarettes—someone went to the store and got them for us and added the cost to our ‘tab’. We asked if ginger all was available in Bali, they asked “how many” and put them in the fridge for us. We inquired on restaurants accepting credit cards—they called around and confirmed with some restaurants and arranged for one that didn’t to stop at an ATM on the way). The house manager was also always available via the cell phone we were provided for local calls. 5 of us stayed for 6 days, and ate all meals-except one dinner-at the villa. Meals were delicious and reasonably priced. They also accommodated special requests. Only critique is that meals arrived at room temperature, as they had to be brought over from where they were prepared at the front of the property, but I guess this was the trade-off for privacy and not having cooking done in the villa. Overall, we had an excellent stay and felt well taken care of at Villa Willali. We would consider staying again if we return to Bali.

We were a family of 8 and loved our time at the house. Cisca was very quick with her email responses and organized our transport from the airport which we really appreciated. The staff at the house were super attentive, with great meals and great attention to cleanliness. The massage ladies that the house organized for us were the best! Be warned though - the house is at least a 15 minute walk to town if you want more eating options or the ATM or to organize snorkeling at the famed bio-reef (it IS incredible and well worth it). It is possible to walk along the beach but only at low tide later in the day. Otherwise, you have to go along the narrow shoulder of a busy road. Overall, a very relaxing and lovely place!
