Set beautifully within 4,000SqM of rolling tropical gardens. Istana Semer is considered one of Bali’s iconic villas which offers classic accommodation in Umalas; the perfect location for everything anyone could want whilst on the Island of the Gods.  ‘Istana’ literally means Palace and you will feel like royalty when you arrive.

There is no better entrance after a flight than walking through the gate down to the main house, welcomed by the smell of tube roses floating on the breeze coming from the pool and garden ahead. Faces of children and adults alight as they breathe a sigh of relief entwined with excitement for their holidays ahead. Long lazy days by the pool, Bloody Mary’s on tap, the clubhouse housing the pool table and al fresco dining terrace with flowers tumbling from the roof; this is a villa to be enjoyed by all ages!

The traditional open air Balinese architecture leaves a sitting and dining room of epic proportions, the huge professional kitchen is ideal for those running retreats to include cooking classes or perhaps those on holiday wishing to learn the art of balinese traditional recipes with the villa chef. Our chef is on hand to prepare western or indonesian meals throughout your stay with child friendly menus if required as well. 

Istana Semer has been home to weddings, birthdays and so many other wonderful events with life long memories created in this enchanting villa.
