We were two families to stay at Villa Cahaya for two weeks in July 2019.
The place is absolutely sublime. With two main houses, the estate is designed to accommodate up to eight people while providing sufficient privacy also for two separate groups of travelers. All rooms are tastefully furnished in modern Bali style and meticulously clean. The four spacious bedrooms each have a private attached bathroom (one with an outside shower!), two a separate dressing room. We enjoyed the crystal clear pool in the well-kept garden. Watching the sunset from one of the terraces, with a splendid view towards Java, was one of our daily highlights.
The staff is extremely friendly and hospitable. Komang took us on interesting day trips to waterfalls, Buddhist temples and old villages, rice and coffee plantations. He also organized a snorkeling tour at one of the famous diving areas on the northern coast of Bali.
Putu the maid is an excellent cook and served delicious local dishes following our preferences. We savored the Balinese cuisine in different and very tasteful ways: fresh fruits from the garden for breakfast, different menus for the kids and the adults in the evening accompanied by an interesting wine selection.
We definitely recommend Villa Cahaya for spending most relaxing holidays in tropical surroundings.
