Good value for money
Staff was very friendly and could not help enough, The pool was really nice. Market was about 10 mins bike drive away with less choices - meaning the area does not have super markets to choose from. Beach was nice when there was not too much trash - as the property is near a river mouth there is a lot of trash, but the staff clean up every day. The property needs some maintenance and some items need repairs. Overall the stay was good and our family had a great time.

Will absolutely return
The staff are all amazing and not intrusive at all... Coming from the USA and not having staff in-house, it seemed odd at first to have people attending to us... by the end of the stay we were VERY sad things were coming to a close! The house is beautiful and spacious... the food was amazing and we had 3 meals prepared most days. The staff are easy to communicate with and will go above and beyond to ensure that the stay is amazing. The "open air" concept of most homes in Bali is so nice and this home has a good mix of open air and the AC that many westerners are accustomed to. The area of Bali is very rural and off the beaten path... a perfect place to enjoy time away from the busy, touristy, sections of Bali... If you want an amazing place to stay, look no further! We also had an opportunity to hang out with the owner and his family who were vacationing at one of his other properties at the same time... He invited us to go snorkeling with his family and we had a great time talking about Bali life and learning about his experiences. It was an amazing trip.... I will be returning to this property as soon as I have a chance and will bring friends! Could not be more pleased... :-)

Excellent Stay
My family and I enjoyed an excellent 6-night stay at this Melaya beach house. We would enthusiastically stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others. The home is located in a very quiet part of western Bali right on the Indian Ocean. We loved the home's design and amenities. Each bedroom has it's own large, modern bathroom and AC. There are great family spaces to enjoy, including an family/movie room with AC, an outdoor padio/deck on the 2nd level of the house with outstanding views, and the amazing pool area. Our family loved the pool. It is very large and the water is super clear and clean. The home's staff cleaned it each morning. We spent a lot of time in the pool! We also enjoyed the black sand beach. We were a bit worried about the litter/trash before coming (based on other reviews). While there is definitely trash that washes up, the beach was much cleaner than I was expecting, and we enjoyed regular walks along the beach at low tide. Having "staff" in the house cooking meals for you seemed odd to us, so our plan was to visit a local market and cook some of our meals ourselves (our kids are also picky so this seemed like a good idea). However, it didn't turn out that way. Melaya doesn't have a supermarket, and the Hardy's supermarket (in Negara, about 45 minutes away) was a major disappointment with little to offer. As a result, we relied much more on the staff cooking meals than originally planned. This worked out great as we found a number of things the kids liked. In particular, we recommend the pizza, pancakes and french toast! FYI, do not expect to take go out to restaurants/bars, etc., as the home is located in a quiet area with few options. Speaking of the staff, they were excellent. Friendly and very helpful. Made (pronounced 'Maday') and Iluh were there daily to help with meals and clean, and Komang is the property manager that helped arrange excursions and make sure everything was going well. As other reviews mention, it seems odd at first, but you quickly get used to their presence. If you are seeking a low-key, relaxing experience at a modern, well-equipped home on the ocean (with a great pool), this is it. Daily excursions are easy to do and can be arranged by Komang. We enjoyed snorkeling, a jungle trek and a visit to Pemuteran to release a sea turtle. We had a rental car, so getting around was easy for us (but they too can arrange transport). Bottom line...this place is really special!

Very local and quiet area. If you want real Bali without busy beaches and souvenir shops this is a great place to be. View and sound of the ocean is amazing. Staff are extremely service minded and helpful. Super place in West Bali

Awesome vacation 💕
What a fabulous villa and vacation! Everything was as stated in the reservation except for the swan pool floatie! The staff was fabulous from house manager Komang, to pool boy Ngurah, and especially our cooks Made, Kade and Iluh. We could not have asked for better or kinder staff who helped make our stay exceptional. The villa is as stated, at least four hours, depending on construction, from the airport so stock up on water and snacks. Our excursions to Ubud and Kuta were long as well but well worth it. Lovina is only two hours away and also worth the trip. The beach was very dirty in front of the villa and was only cleaned/raked by the staff the second week of our vacation when the owners arrived for their vacation. Unfortunately trash floats to shore daily from the ocean. The infinity pool was clean and inviting! The shade gazebo was absolutely the best. The upper deck was awesome. All the bedrooms were clean, comfy and air conditioned and when one air conditioner broke it was repaired the very next day. We tried almost everything on the menu, Balinese and western! Such a luxury having cooks take care of us for three meals a day! Loved it and them! We had massages at the villa every other day which was so relaxing and fantastic! The only downside to our stay were dead bugs in the kitchen/dishes and a hairy mouse running from under the fridge to the water cooler. We felt the kitchen could have been cleaner when we arrived. The next day when the cooks arrived they did clean the kitchen a bit better and we never saw the mouse again. We understand bugs/critters in hot weather so we were not too shaken up. One caution is to be sure to understand the rate for your driver. We ran into an issue with our driver, Komang (male), who charged us double the price for daily trips. When we finally figured out what he was doing, we contacted our house manager, Komang (female) and then the driver, who hesitantly gave us a refund on the double charges. Be aware! All in all, we had a fabulous vacation at this fantastic villa!! It was so worth the 36 hours it took from Alaska to Bali!! We would recommend this location to anyone looking to relax, swim and unwind!! Thanks so much to all the staff! It was awesome!!!

Amazing
Everything about this stay exceeded our expectations. It really sounds too good to be true. Great house, great service and full on relaxation. Komang and the rest of the crew were amazing. The food was great and the pool was fantastic. The only downs to the stay is that the beach is covered with litter from the nearby island, yes it is really a four hour drive from the airport and that the internet is spotty (exactly as they tell you). Of course the lack of internet made it easier to relax. You will spend the majority of your day poolside. The entire downstairs glass wall folds in and allows for the breeze to go through the entire house. If you are looking to get away then this is the place. We had three meals a day prepared by the staff and the food was great. If you want to go snorkeling or site seeing the staff arranges for everything. You will see very few tourists because most are staying near the airport. Once again thanks for a great holiday we will be back!!!!

YOU HAVE TO STAY HERE!! absolutely amazing, will return
Everything about this place is amazing. As soon as we had to go home we missed the place and were ready to return. The chef is freaking amazing, we tried just about everything on the menu and all our meals were delicious and very filling. All of our requests were met, the table was set for us every time, everything was cleaned up-the food was fantastic and very cheap. All of the bedrooms are large with cupboards and all with fans and aircons that work really well-we didn't have to have them running all day and each bedroom has a massive bathroom. It was so relaxing to be able to hear the ocean and enjoy the fabulous views. There is an upstairs loungeroom with aircon. And then there is the pool-it is absolutely fabulous, so big and amazing and we got a few pool toys. We also used the Kayaks and went for a paddle. It was wonderful just to relax in the pool with fabulous views and listen to the ocean. The gazebo was a fantastic place to relax with drinks and we also had a few wonderful massages in the gazebo. The staff were amazing-very friendly and helpful and met our requests when they were able to. They helped us organise tours(not that we did too much as we were very happy to indulge in paradise at the villa)-our children loved going to feed the monkeys and see the baby turtles. We have all been telling our friends about this place and we will definitely return, it was absolutely amazing. we miss the chef!!! It was about 4 hours to the airport so keep that in mind when organising your travel, but definitely worth the trip. The beach was swept and cleaned each day however there would still be glass and unfortunately a couple of needles wash up from ocean-nothing they could do to prevent it but if you do want to use the beach I would recommend having good water shoes. We were happy to relax in and by the pool so didn't use the beach very much. Thankyou so much for making such a wonderful holiday experience for us. Can't wait to return :)

QUIET & RELAXING HOLIDAY IN PARADISE
Myself and 2 girlfriends decided to go to Bali for a holiday this year and what a great trip! We read the reviews and I booked us for 8 nights of "girl time". The house is truly beautiful from style to decor. We were greeted by the house staff upon arrival after a long trip from Denpasar airport with a refreshing drink. As many reviewers had stated, the house is a distance from the airport (around 100km) but since the roads are all 2 lanes and packed with motor bikes, trucks and cars it slows the traffic down tremendously . Our arrival took around 5 hours and our departure to the airport took a little over 4, but if I was to book again, I would not hesitate to do so. The house is in a secluded area of Malaya right on the beach and every day you see the island of Java across the water. We got to watch the local fishermen, the children at play on the beach and a few motorbikes scurry back and forth at low tide daily. We had asked for the staff to prepare our meals every day and we were not disappointed! We tried lots of the local dishes but also some of the Western meals as well. They were always a pleasure to be around. The staff also do massages! It was a perfect way to end a day in the sun! If you want to escape from electronic devices, then this is the spot for you. WiFi is sketchy and had we not needed to check in with family it would not have been an issue. I recommend to pick up a SIM card at the airport unless you have an international data package. Seems we picked a time when a tower was down, therefore, WiFi was not the greatest for us. But the manager secured a second router which allowed us a backup when needed. If you want to go on excursions, just ask the staff to contact the manager and he will come by and get it set up with the driver. In the lower level credenza there are pamphlets of day trips. All in all, the 3 of us had a delightful time and was sad to see it end.

One of the best vacations!!
One of the best vacations that I’ve had in my travels. The villa is located away from the city (4 hours from Denpasar), on a quiet stretch of beach. The view looking out at the ocean and sunset is forever in my memory. We enjoyed many tours as well as days lounging in and around the magnificent infinity pool. The staff was extraordinary, 3 meals cooked daily, grounds keepers and the house manager cared for our every need and made all arrangements for us. We were blessed with having an exceptional driver who looked out for us at every stop. I only have a few regrets: 1.) that I didn’t learn a bit of the language before traveling to Bali (it was never an issue, just would have been a nice gesture on my part) and 2.) that I couldn’t stay longer. Coming home to Alaska and -38 degrees was not pleasant. I look forward to my next visit to Bali and seeing my new found friends again. I feel blessed. Thank you Egon for a wonderful stay.

Fantastic
Fantastic Villa in a truly beautiful location. Staff were more than helpful - on hand if you needed them - but in the background if you didn't. The Manager was always available to help if you needed him. Enjoyed the relaxation and also the tours that the manager arranged. The villa will benefit from a nearby restaurant which is due to open in 2017 as it will give the choice of eating in or out without having to travel. The people of Bali are truly the nicest and friendliest people I have come across, always giving a wave and 'hello' whoever you passed. Was very sad when the holiday came to an end.
