Scene
Secluded and stylish, with a peaceful atmosphere for leisure travelers
The only common space at Jineng Villas for guests to gather is in the tranquil reception area, which features an intricately carved wooden pergola and a small, open-air garden with a koi pond. Beyond the lobby, there's a long, outdoor walkway leading to villas, covered by a beautiful live bamboo archway. The quiet location adds to the peaceful atmosphere, and the hotel feels far removed from Seminyak's busy streets.
Jineng Villas is popular with couples for the privacy that its villas afford. It's also attractive to families and groups of friends looking to spread out in spacious accommodations.
Location
Walking distance to downtown Seminyak, but far from the beach
The Jineng Villas is situated on Gang Baik Baik, a quiet road with a convenience store and an English-themed pub with weekly live music. It's about a six-minute walk to downtown Seminyak, where there's an abundance of shopping and dining options, but expect a 20-minute walk (or a seven-minute drive) to Double Six Beach, which is the closest to the hotel. It's less hectic than neighboring Kuta Beach and has a similar sand bottom that's ideal for surfing. It also has plenty of vendors selling drinks and offering surf lessons, in addition to board and beach chair rentals. There are some popular hotspots nearby, too, like trendy Cocoon Beach Club and the laid-back La Plancha Beach Bar. Legian Street, lined with some of Bali's most popular nightclubs and bars, is less than a 15-minute walk away. Waterbom Park is an 18-minute drive from the hotel, and it's about a 25-minute drive to Kuta Beach. Expect to reach Ngurah Rai International Airport in about 30 minutes by car.
Rooms
Spacious, modern villas, with private plunge pools and fully stocked kitchens
Villas offer excellent privacy, with high walls surrounding them -- and have chic decor, with clean lines for an upscale look. The palette is simple and elegant: glossy, white floors nicely play off natural, textured fabrics, and honey-colored blond wood furniture.
The poshest feature is the private plunge pool in each unit, with mod loungers and surrounding greenery. There are also fully stocked kitchens, with gas ranges, full-size refrigerators, electric kettles, and toasters, and dining tables that comfortably seat up to four people.
Serene bedrooms have gold-accented pillows and throws on beds that add a luxurious touch, and sliding glass doors that lead out to small, private gardens, and to pools. Bathrooms are roomy and have warm, tan tiling, with walk-in showers with rainfall showerheads, deep whirlpool tubs, and separate toilets.
Spacious living areas have cushy, upholstered sofas, flat-screen TVs set on attractive media units, and wall prints that add a dash of color. Other amenities include air-conditioning, DVD players, sizable work desks with ergonomic chairs, robes, safes, and free Wi-Fi. Roomy dressing areas with large wardrobes and mirrored vanities are another highlight.
Two-story, two-bedroom villas have similar layouts, but add significantly more space and landscaping around the pool.
