After inspecting a number of Villas in Bali we finally chose Villa Shalimar.
It ticked our boxes - Oceanfront, enough room to sleep about 22 people, friendly staff, ideal location for the ceremony and reception. Massive ticks!
The husband and I inspected the Villa over a year ago now and we were only allowed to look in from one corner as it was occupied at the time and we knew straight away that it was the one, so we put a 50% deposit for it the next day.
Our planner has done a few weddings at this Villa and could not speak highly enough of the place.
Villa Shalimar comprises of 3 Villas on the one complex, the 2 bedroom - Cantik (D and I had this to ourselves) the 4 bedroom - Makanda - the middle villa and the 6 bedroom - Kalima. ALL with wifi.
Everything in this villa is just stunning, from the beds, to the artwork around the property, to the delicious food!
It was so awesome to have such a private holiday with our closest friends and family, I loved roaming between the Villas.
The privacy was perfect for the wedding too.
They have really paid attention to every detail big and small in this place.
The staff at the villa were just super lovely and friendly, they were all so helpful. This was the first time in my life that I have not locked my passport or money away while staying somewhere and everything was safe. Mr Agung - The Villa Supervisor was amazing, everything was easily done or arranged. Mr Agung and his staff made our stay very enjoyable, we are all thinking about a reunion in the near future!
The drive in, surrounded by lush rice paddies.
Our bridal party on the bus, driving down the narrow road, they had no idea where we were. Lol.
Budda at the entrance.
Door to our Villa Cantik.
Four poster king bed in Cantik - Every night they would turn the room down, with candles and always made sure the mozzie repellent was switched on. A must for me!
The little details.
View from our bed.
Outdoor bathroom tiles.
Double Shower.
Budda in our Villa.
Fully equipped kitchen with fresh fruit daily.
Villa Kalima.
We spent hours chilling in these lounge areas. SO relaxing.

Each villa has it's very own kitchen, outdoor bathroom, king size bed and amazing pool.
You can rent a individual villa or rent the whole thing out - which we did!

I miss this place.
Super comfy sun lounges.
Views of the rice paddies out back.
The amazing staff! Always ready and happy to help. The chef made delicious food! Be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. All types of cuisines.
On our last day we all didn't want to leave, we were starting to call it home!
That's heaven!

BEAUTIFUL! :) I want to jump in the computer screen and live there.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so beautiful. Did you stay there the whole time and get married there as well?
ReplyDeleteI think you may have used the same make up girl as me (Bali Edge?) because I think I remember seeing something about this villa on her facebook page!
Can't wait to see the rest of the wedding posts.
Absolutely stunning! What a beautiful place, perfect for a wedding.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's already been 6 weeks since your wedding...
It looks soooo amazing! Ahh I want to go to Bali! x
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh I want to go back already! It was bliss!
ReplyDelete@anon Yes we stayed there a few nights, a few days to chill before and after the wedding. No, I didn't use Bali edge, just a MUA my planner recommended.
@elegantlee - I know it's gone SO fast!
I love Bali so much!!!!
