The Santai

As with all of the Lifestyle Retreats properties, most of the family of staff are from Bali itself and all have been trained and worked at one of the other properties within the group resulting in exceptional personal service. The eleven villas at The Santai are contemporary in design with comfy king-size beds and massive bathrooms featuring rainfall showers as well as a large bath. The five two bedroom villas have a 10m pool and are a favourite with friends and families with younger children as there' a fully-equipped kitchen as well as a living and dining area. The six three bedroom villas are huge and have a 16m pool with sundeck. All of them boast a complimentary mini bar of soft drinks, handmade soaps, free WiFi, home theatre system including iPod docking stations, 24-hour butler service, and a coffee machine.

Specialising in Asian dishes Gong Restaurant includes favourites from Indonesia, South East Asia and other parts of the world, all using locally sourced ingredients, local growers and farmers. Breakfast is made to order and if there's something special you feel like just let the team know the day before and they'll cook it up for you at breakfast the following day. The restaurant has an all day dining menu.
