Location
Taman Ahimsa is located on Bali's southwest coast, within the beautiful
agricultural belt between Canggu and Tanah Lot; an area that is home to some of
the most luxurious private residences on the island. The approach to the retreat
is along a quiet winding road through a traditional Balinese village. The narrow
streets are bordered by rice fields and punctuated by holy banyan trees, and
colourful temple ceremonies are a common sight.
Remarkably laidback and undeveloped, this tranquil out-of-town setting offers
the double attraction of being relatively close to everything that guests might
need, while also offering visitors a privileged insight into the traditions of
rural Bali. The rugged beach is renowned for its world-class surf breaks.
Glorious coastline views extend all the way down to Uluwatu on the island's
extreme southwest peninsula, and the legendary sunsets here are among the best
in Bali. The trendy Seminyak area, 30 minutes' drive away, offers a wide choice
of international restaurants and elegant boutiques.
Taman Ahimsa is approximately 50 minutes drive from Bali's International Airport
and ten minutes from Nirwana Golf Course, designed by Greg Norman and renowned
as one of the best golf courses in Asia. Next to the golf course is Tanah Lot,
Bali's most dramatic and venerated sea temple, which is probably the most
photographed sight in Bali, perched on a spectacular, wave-lashed rock just at
the edge of the glistening shoreline. The majority of the island's shopping,
theme parks and tourist attractions are also within easy reach.
Villa rates are subject to 15% government tax and service charge.
Please note that this villa is a smoking free property.
