If you're looking for something that's a little different from Bali's "regular" paddies and palm tree views, then this contemporary riverside "hut" could well be what you're looking for. 

​

​

What's the appeal?

 

It's all about location. Yes, the villa itself is comfortable – but can we first take a moment to appreciate the view? Hut and Hideaway is situated almost at water-level on a grand, sweeping curve of the lower Balian River. Cliffs and trees, gentle rapids and rocks all comprise the vista of this special little hideaway. The villa itself is a small, relatively new building that's very well appointed and looked after, and is fronted by a deck that's a perfect place on which to roll out your yoga mat, or sit back in a beanbag and enjoy a chilled Bintang.

​

The "hut"

 

Hut and Hideaway is a self-contained contemporary-style building​. There is a deck out front, on which stands a small kitchen with all the basics for self-catering, as well as a table at which you can have your meals, and two large beanbags. Inside, there is a queen-size bed, mini-bar fridge, large flatscreen TV and a book shelf, and the bathroom – with a big stone bath – is enclosed by a wall, but outside. It's contemporary, slick, quite simple and beautifully kept.

​

Facilities

 

The kitchen unit on the veranda means you can prepare your own meals, but breakfast is provided and there is a menu from which you can order a take-away meal. In-villa massages can be arranged too. 

​

Location

 

Hut and Hideaway is located on the Balian River, a few hundred metres inland of the main Denpasar–Gilimanuk road. It it on private property and feels quite remote – which is part of the appeal – but it's a five-minute drive, possibly less, from here into Balian village.
