Villa Asante Location

Villa Asante is located in the fishing village of Canggu, just 5 minutes' walk from the rugged beach, which is renowned for its world-class surf breaks. The locality is dotted with some of the most impressive villas on the island and the view is enhanced on clear days by the magical sight of Bali 's mountains. This out of town setting offers the double attraction of being close to the shops and restaurants of Seminyak, while also presenting a fascinating insight into the traditions of rural Bali. Cows are herded through the fields, rice is planted and harvested throughout year, and the sound of ritual music is carried on the breeze.

The Beach House Restaurant, 200 metres from the villa at Echo Beach, is the place where the local community gathers in the evenings to watch the legendary sunsets. A variety of eating areas and tables spill out onto a beachside buff; there is a comprehensive international menu, together with a daily barbeque of fresh fish, lobster, giant prawns, clams, steaks, kebabs etc. Live music, performed by accomplished local bands, takes place on Sunday evenings, starting at around sunset. This is great social scene, it can get very busy and lively, and the smaller local warungs (eateries) beside the Beach House, accommodate the overflow of customers.

The trendy Seminyak area, with its wide choice of international restaurants including the famous ‘Ku Dé Ta', ‘Kafé Warisan', ‘Living Room', ‘Hu'u', ‘La Lucciola', ‘Sarong' and Blossom-together with a plethora of chic cocktail bars, exciting nightclubs, lavish spas and elegant boutiques, is 20 minutes' drive away.

The location offers easy access up to the mountains and rice terraces on the western slopes of the island; it is one hour's drive from the famous cultural and artistic town of Ubud, and just 20 minutes' drive from the Sunset Route, gateway to the eastern side of the island. It is also convenient for all of Bali 's shopping malls and main tourist attractions. The international airport is 30 minutes' drive. Easily accessible sporting amenities include the ‘Canggu Club', offering a state-of-the art gym, a 25-metre swimming pool and a tennis & squash centre. The nearby ‘Nirwana Bali Golf Course' was designed by Greg Norman, and was voted the number 1 golf course in Asia; it is situated beside the dramatic, waved-lashed sea temple of Tanah Lot. For horse lovers, the ‘Umalas Equestrian Centre' is just a few kilometres away.
