Villa Alun3BR Pool Villa, Open-Air Stone Bath and a Walk to the Beach in Batu Belig

Villa Alun is a three-bedroom house on Gang Pelangi, a residential lane off Jalan Batu Belig. It is small enough to feel like a house rather than a compound, and close enough to the beach that you can walk there — about ten minutes, which is unusual for a villa with its own pool and garden at this end of Seminyak.

The pool sits in the middle, edged in pale stone with sun loungers along one side and a thatched bale at the far end. The bale holds a dining table for four and a turquoise daybed, and a barbecue station is built into the wall beside it. Most of the day happens out here.

Inside, the ground floor is one bright open room — a blue sectional sofa and Smart TV at one end, a dining table for six and an open kitchen at the other, glazed to the garden on two sides. The ground-floor bedroom opens straight onto the pool. Two more bedrooms sit upstairs, each with its own balcony over the water.

The best room in the house is a bathroom. The ground-floor en-suite runs out into an open-air court where a freestanding stone tub stands between planting beds, under timber louvres open to the sky, with a rain shower behind glass.

Three bedrooms, three en-suites. The ground-floor bedroom has a king bed, a dressing table and a Smart TV, and full-height glass that slides open onto the pool. Its en-suite is the largest in the house: a double vanity and walk-in rain shower inside, opening into an open-air court with a freestanding stone bathtub set among planting and river stones.

Upstairs are two mirror-image rooms either side of the landing. One has a queen bed, the other two singles that can be joined into a king. Both have a built-in window seat, a wall-mounted TV, air conditioning and an en-suite with a vessel basin and walk-in rain shower — showers only, no tub. Each opens onto its own balcony above the pool, level with the frangipani trees.

The living room takes the front of the ground floor, glazed to the garden on two sides, with a blue sectional sofa, a Smart TV and a stereo. The dining table seats six under a caged pendant light, and the kitchen behind it is fully equipped — white stone counters, breakfast bar with timber stools, gas hob and extractor, full fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee machine and kettle. There is also a separate guest toilet off the stairs, so nobody has to go through a bedroom to reach a bathroom.

Outside, the pool is 6 × 4 m in a 500 m² garden of lawn, frangipani and stepping stones. The bale at the end of the pool has a dining table and daybed under a shingle roof; the barbecue and prep counter sit under a pergola beside it.

Four staff look after the villa, with daily housekeeping, breakfast cooked each morning, pool maintenance, a gardener and daily security. There is a back-up generator, a safe, free private parking, and Wi-Fi throughout.
