The Ahimsa Bali - Luxurious villa in Bali, Indonesia

The Ahimsa Bali - Luxurious villa in Bali, Indonesia

The Ahimsa is nestled in the heart of Seminyak. Its a great place to hide for 2-6 people in a shared villa. and average cost per person in a 3 room villa works out to be approximately US$45-US$70 per person per nite. I am particulary fond of the 2 or three room villas. But the single room villas feel somewhat cramped to me, as compared to some of the other villas on the island in this area. The paddle pools in the villas are not quite built for "work outs" jump in to hard, and you might drain the pool. Piddle paddle around with your 2 friends and it may be just enough to be called a large jacuzzi.

Its Location is its best asset, close to the beaches of the Oberoi hotel, and the restaurants such as Warisan, The Living Room, Ku de ta, and the Hu'u Bar. This area of Jalan Oberoi is the quieter development overflows from the legian and seminyak stretch. Its a 25 minute drive to the Kuta Area, if you plan to visit hard rock Cafe and the hordes of cheap tourist shops. but if you are happy with swankier bar prices of cocktails, banana smoothies, and es teler at US$3-US$7 or Rupiah 15,000 - Rupiah 20,000 per cocktail, then this is the area for you.
