While East Bali is not as popular as the southern part, there are villas in Candidasa that are definitely worth staying. Not only are these villas located more remote ensuring total peace and quiet, but it will also cost you much less compared with the ones in the south.
When I was visiting Candidasa I happened to stumble upon three villas that are set together in a small quiet street just off the road of Jalan Raya Candidasa
The villas are surrounded by palm trees and here the local people are still busy doing there daily chorus while the children run around and play.
The first villa that you will run into is Villa Gils. This massive villa is ideal for big families or group of friends who want to enjoy each others company while taking tours around the island.
Everything in Villa Gils is spaciously set and open. On top of that the pool will exceed your expectations as it is 25 meter long!
Next to Villa Gils is Rumah Kecil, a smaller and more privately set villa. There are two double rooms in this villa complex but I can imagine that it is popular among couples who are looking for romance and privacy.
The unique thing about this villa is that it has a first class view over the ocean. It's amazing and it's just for you alone...
The villa has created a perfect place to fully enjoy the view as there is a gazebo right at the edge of the beach.
The third and last villa in this little street is the Villa Dua Gils. This is not really a private villa, as there are 3 little villas set around a big kidney shaped pool. But if you are not looking for privacy but you prefer a more open ambiance then this is ideal.
There is also a restaurant on the Villa Dua Gils premises where the villa serves food throughout the day until early in the evening.
When I was there I was lucky to meet one of the villa staff members who told me that the three villas are owned by one person. She also explained that the villas might not have a 24/7 private butler, they do have 5 staff members who are present during the day.
They offer personal service that will immediately make you feel at home in Bali. Besides the regular service they can arrange private dinners, pick-ups and Bali tours. Once you are there just discuss with the staff what your wishes are and they will do their best to ensure a memorable stay.
Another important and great detail about these villas is that while staying here you will be helping communities in East Bali. The owner of the villas will contribute 10% of your stay to the East Bali Poverty Project. This project focuses on educating children, improving health and living conditions and creating alternative income for the communities in East Bali.
The prices for Villa Dua Gils are around $90 while the prices for the other two villa range up to $250 during the high season. When searching around for villas in Bali you will soon notice that especially Villa Gils is a great value for money for the East Bali area.
