"The Things I do for Love"
Itineraries and places we love
Seminyak Shopping
Spoilt for choice
Villa Khaleesi is one kilometre from Seminyak Square. Here you will shop til you drop, then eat and drink and shop again. Seminyak has a cosmopolitan feel with an array of clothing, jewellery and interior essentials stores. The shopping precinct on Jl. Kayu Aya stretches for around two kilometres. This is an all day excursion so take your time and enjoy all that Seminyak has to offer.
Beach Walks
Early morning and late afternoon are the best times
Villa Khaleesi is approximately 500meters from the beach. Entry to the beach is via Petitenget Temple. When you leave the Villa, take a left turn and follow the quiet lane way to the beach. If it gets a little hot, stop and enjoy a gelato at Gelato Secrets Seminyak before making your way to the beach.
Uluwatu & Surrounds
Spend a day
Why not head to Uluwatu for the day! If you enjoy an ocean swim, head first to Pandawa for a swim in crystal clear calm waters (check the tide first). Enjoy a refreshment here and then head to the Cliff tops of Uluwatu and explore the many bars and cafes nestled into the cliff. As sunset approaches, relax with a cocktail at Single Fin or head to Uluwatu temple and take in the stunning views. End the day with a seafood dinner at Jimbaran Bay. A word of caution, traffic in and out of Uluwatu can be very busy and it may take 60 - 90 minutes each way travel time. It's a jam packed itinerary providing you with a real taste of the Bukit peninsula.
Ubud Touring
Markets, Monkey Forrest and More
Its easy to spend a day wondering around Ubud. Its a lovely drive through Balinese villages to get there. Allowing for traffic and time of day allow 90 minutes to get there. If you like to shop, there are markets galore. If walking/hiking is your thing, don't miss the Campuhan Ridge walk. If you are travelling with children, the Monkey Forrest is a must. Let us know what interests you and we can suggest an itinerary.
Old Man's
Get there for Happy Hour
Fabulous food and great Bali pub vibe. This is one place we really enjoy. We like to think of this end of town as the Byron Bay of Bali. Old Man's requires no booking and is 15 - 20 minutes by taxi from Villa Khaleesi.
Eat Street
Eat Street
If you have come to Bali to eat drink and shop, go no further than Jl Kayu Aya, affectionately referred to as Eat Street. Eat Street is only a one kilometre walk from Villa Khaleesi. There are so many great places to try, so start at one end of the street and work your way up!
Massage Anyone?
Jepun Beach Spa
Our favourite local massage place is Jepun Beach Spa. It's a leisurely 30 min beach walk from the Villa. Walk to Petitenget beach and past The W Hotel. Jepun Beach Spa is down a little laneway at the North end of The W Hotel.
If you prefer, therapists can come to the Villa. Please make sure you book a day in advance if you wish to have a massage in the villa.
Walk to Restaurants
You will be spoilt for choice in foodie heaven
Baby Revolver
Bali's best coffee only 200 meters away. Call them and they will deliver to the villa gates. Their coconut ice drink is super refreshing too!
Warung Eny's
(Closed at the moment)
Amazing value for money and delicious home style Balinese cooking. Don't be put off by the super casual decor...wander in and try the food. You wont be disappointed. Warung Eny's is a 4 minute walk from Villa Khaleesi and they will deliver to the villa gate.
KU DE TA
A sightly longer walk to KU DE TA or if you prefer not to walk, KU DE TA is a 3 min drive from Villa Khaleesi. A great place for breakfast or sunset drinks. A great place to watch the sun go down.
Potato Head
Potato Head is only a 10 minute walk from Villa Khaleesi. Brimming with bars, pool and choice of restaurants, you will be spoilt for choice.
Bambu Bali
One of Bali's finest dining experiences. Book ahead and ask for a table on the island. Delicious Indonesian and Balinese food. Bambu Bali is a 10 minute walk from Villa Khaleesi. Reservations essential.
Warung Cantina
Super casual warung where the ex-pats and locals hang out. Great variety of food and very well priced. Right on the beach. There is a sneaky short cut through the W Hotel. Once you are on the grounds of the W, beach side, turn right and there is a strip of Warungs lining the beach. Cantina is the second one in the strip.
La Lucciola
Stunning beachfront location and a 10 minutes stroll from Villa Khaleesi. La Lucciola is a must whilst staying in Petitenget. Reservations essential.

At Merah Putih, they serve classic Indonesian cuisine using ingredients of the highest quality alongside creative dishes that experiment with traditional spices and flavours. Open for lunch and dinner, Merah Putih is a 5 minute walk from Villa Khaleesi. Reservations essential.
Motel Mexicola
Prepare to dance on tables whilst sipping Margaritas! A 10 min stroll from Villa Khaleesi (800m). This is a real party venue with Southern Mexican fare.
Luhron
We love Mama's cooking! Super casual authentic Balinese and Indonesian home style cooking. Amazing value for money. It's a little bit further than some of the other warungs but very walkable with lots of little markets and cafes along the way. From Villa Khaleesi head up to Jl Petitenget then turn right. Walk along until Jl Cendrawasih and then head left until you see a little road with a sign for Luhron.
Ling Lings
Fabulous Korean/Japanese Fusion. A 10 min walk and sooo much fun!
Atlas
Very close to Villa Khaleesi Atlas is a great Malaysian restaurant. Their pork is fabulous! Actually, everything is super yummy. We recommend you make a booking if dining at night.
