You might not realise it at first, but finding large Bali villas with more than 9 bedrooms is not an easy task. Having done the homework for you, we would like to present the best of the gems we’ve found in Canggu and Seminyak. So here is our list of our top 9bed and more villas.

1. Mandira 17bed villa complex

The epitome of luxury and the best villa in Bali for a big group. Mandira 17bed villa complex is a brand new complex in Berawa that has nine pools to choose from. Though we don’t want to spoil the surprise for you, some of the highlights of this villa include a home cinema room, a second Joglo style living room overlooking the rice fields, private gardens for the two bedrooms downstairs and a rooftop terrace with frangipanis and palms.

2. Pandora 12bed complex

If you want to have a truly Balinese experience but do not want to compromise on anything including location, you have found your villa.

Tamantis 9bed villas have a homey feeling but do not skimp on luxury. The 3 interconnected 3bed villas are ideal for a big party. Each villa is independent with its own pool, dining, living room and kitchenette, which is ideal for secluding yourself from the rest of the group if needed.

The 14 bedrooms of the villas – all with en-suite luxury bathrooms – will comfortably fit everyone you love. The villas’ staff and chef will take care of the rest. You just need to sit down, suntan with a mojito or two in hand or dance until you drop. The choice is yours!
