The beautiful Villa M is hidden away in the rice fields, just ten minutes' drive from Berawa beach on Bali's south western coast. Offering guests a choice of renting options, this 4-bedroom retreat covers 2,000 square metres of land and is comprised of two self-contained villas, each with a private entrance and a private pool. The 1-bedroom villa and the 3-bedroom villa can either be linked or alternatively remain totally separate and private. Designed by Balinese architect Putu Edy Semara, the style blends modern Balinese architecture with minimalist design, local materials, hardwood floors, and graceful, contemporary furnishings.

The approach to Villa M is through the Balinese village of Umalas, the narrow country lane then winds through the rice fields for another two kilometres before reaching the main entrance and reception pavilion via a large courtyard with a sizeable parking area.
The expansive gardens, created by landscape designer Anto Kusnanto, are planted with sweet scented flowers and trees, and presided over by a large relaxation gazebo with a daybed. The spacious lawns offer an ideal setting for parties, weddings and dance performances.
