In the heart of Seminyak’s upmarket Oberoi district, close to the beach and Bali’s top restaurants, this four-bedroom private holiday rental villa with its evocative, white-on-white colonial architecture exudes elegance and plantation-style charm. Framed by four living and sleeping pavilions, a generous pool forms the inviting centrepiece at Villa Lulito. Bamboo and wicker ‘steamer’ chairs, casually draped mosquito nets, brass ceiling fans and white walls ornamented with vintage posters, hark back to an era of exotic travel. And on hand to guarantee a luxury holiday experience is a capable crew of staff, including a private chef, butlers, housekeepers and a villa manager.
