In a nutshell, you’re in the best location for exploring the busy streets of Seminyak while also having the quiet sanctuary of a private retreat.
What I liked about Chandra Villas is that you’re only a 10-15 minute walk away from the main shopping district of Seminyak (which has a lot of one-off shops by trendy Australian designers) and is also just a 5 minute walk to the beach. Both the beach and the streets are quite crowded and hectic, so it’s really nice to know that you can come home to quiet and privacy. Each villa has a well-kept yard with a pool in the sunshine, some come with shade bungalows as well, and all have an open-concept living room with couches, dining area, full kitchen, and a flat screen, as well as an entire chilled water filter dispense system. I love resorts that are on top of the hydration game.
Things to note: Chandra offers a handful of fun in-villa activities. I had the poolside pedi, a flower bath, and an Indonesian BBQ, complete with talented Balinese dancers. I’ll also throw this in the review since I had someone ask me about this on TripAdvisor – yes, the villas are private enough to walk around naked, and no, you won’t be disturbed if you hang the ‘do not disturb’ sign on the doorknob outside. There’s also a good built-in sound system if you need to drown out any noise…
Chandra’s also a favourite spot for one of my top IG fitspos, Kali Burns… never did bump into her but if you do visit, keep an eye out.. she’s a regular!
Worth it?
100%.
