Located in the scenic region of Seseh, Villa Raki comprises four buildings and an open-sided dining gazebo. Surrounded by rice fields and neighboured by Balinese village life, the villa offers a serene setting away from the crowds but still within easy reach of the trendy neighbourhood of Canggu (about 15 minutes from the villa). The ruggedly beautiful and often near deserted Seseh Beach is just a five-minute drive away.

The main house incorporates the living and dining areas, the kitchen, two bedrooms and a rooftop terrace, while a trio of stand alone poolside pavilions house the remaining three bedrooms, complete with their private living areas. The living room is a breezy two-level pavilion, open to the garden on three sides.

The upper level, accessed by a set of five stone steps on either side of the lounge area, features a welcoming breakfast bar furnished with 6 woven leather highchairs and decorated with a lovingly selected collection of Indonesian artefacts and colourful artwork. The lower level is home to a huge built-in cushioned sofa, oriented towards the glorious view of greenery.

The alfresco dining pavilion is gorgeous, with a dining table for 12 resting under a pergola of hanging rice stems, and cooled by gentle breezes and an overhead fan, Each bedroom comes with an ensuite indoor-outdoor bathroom fitted with a tropical-style rainshower that opens up to the sky in a private courtyard.

A spiral staircase leads up to the rooftop terrace, which is shaded by a canopy of swaying rice stalks in a true reflection of the surrounding agricultural landscape.
