Located on the remote north-east coast of Bali, Villa Selina provides guests with a traditional holiday away from the hustle and bustle of Kuta.

The villa and bungalows are found in the small village town of Bondalem, 40 minutes east of the old capital, Singaraja.

Immerse yourself in the unique local Balinese culture whilst staying as guests of a Balinese/Western family who are well versed in looking after travelers wanting to experience a different adventure on the 'Island of the Gods'.

Accommodation varies from luxury serviced bungalows to guest rooms. All have their own ocean views and luxurious indoor/outdoor bathrooms, tv and bar facilities.

• Main villa: $350/night (sleeps 6)
• Beach bungalow: $69/night
• Garden bungalow: $69/night (air conditioned)
• Budget guest room: $40/night (sleeps 2)
• Rent the full resort: $650/night (sleeps 10)

All prices in Australian dollars and include 10% govt tax.

Bed and breakfast only. Ala carte menu for lunch and dinner. The main villa has 3 bedrooms and two large bathrooms. All levels of accommodation are reasonably priced and affordable depending on your budget. Children under 3-years old stay for free.

The day starts magically as you witness the magnificent sunrise over the Java Sea and are entertained by the first rays of light hitting the distant peaks of Mt Rinjani on Lombok.

Visit the early morning markets where we buy all our local fresh produce and meet some of the locals. These markets have been serving the local community for centuries and nothing much has changed.

After an oceanside breakfast...

• Walk the black volcanic beaches in solitude with no-one around except local fisherman bringing in the day's catch.
• Snorkel and dive the reefs out front from our own private beach and see the vibrant colors and assorted species of fish in a tropical ocean wonderland.
• Eat lunch and witness dolphins swimming by in the different currents offshore.
• Chill out with a book and a glass of your preference in one of our two comfy 'bale bengongs' that overlook the blue mystic ocean.
• Treat yourself to a traditional massage to relieve any of your modern day stresses.
• Each night dine on fresh seafood or pick from a variety of Indonesian and Western cuisine as you watch the passing lights of the night fishing boats.
• Look up through the coconut trees and gaze at stars twinkling as they illuminate the night sky with their celestial dance.
• Fall asleep each night to the sound of the waves lapping the shore.

There are also day trips to local waterfalls and hot springs, secret surf spots on the east side of the island and occasionally it breaks on the reefs out front.

The old capital of Singaraja is a bustling town with an array of shops and services for those who like to check out the commerce of the local area.
