Bali Villas - La Hacienda

La Hacienda sits high on a hill overlooking the famous Padang-Padang beach near Uluwatu. This is a super villa to stay at especially if you enjoy spending your days relaxing on quiet white sandy beaches away from the crowds of Kuta. There are many hidden beaches in the area accessible only if you know which paths to take.

Location
Along the same stretch of coast you will also discover several other famous beaches that are great for surfers and non-surfers alike with the breaks of Bingin, Impossible, Balangan and Uluwatu all close by; these are all well away from the tourist beaches and within easy reach of the villa.

The villa has fantastic views out across the deep blue ocean and on a less humid days the volcanoes of Bali an even the neighboring island of Java are all clearly visible. La Hacienda is blessed year round with refreshing ocean breezes and very comfortable, especially at nighttime when it is possible to sleep without the air-conditioning on.

La Hacienda is the Balinese home of a world renowned artist, famous for his impressionist paintings, many of which depict scenes of Balinese life. Several of his paintings are on display at the villa and for serious art collectors appointments can be arranged to meet with the artist in his studio to view the latest creations.
