Villa Taman Sorga, Sanur

Acclaimed by architectural magazines and design books, the fully staffed Villa Taman Sorga delivers an authentic ‘Bali lifestyle’ experience in the island’s original resort area of Sanur. Six huge bedrooms, extravagant antiques-packed living spaces, a media room, gym and gourmet kitchen are dispersed among a series of traditional and modern pavilions resting within enchanting gardens surrounding a lagoon-style swimming pool. The villa is set in a genteel residential area away from the bustle of the hotel belt, a five-minute stroll from the southern end of Sanur beach, making it the perfect residence for families or a group of friends.
