Staff
One of the delights of staying in a private villa is the personalised service accorded to guests. Villa Cemara’s well-trained and gracious nine-strong staff are on hand when needed while keeping discreetly behind the scenes when not. With every interaction, they aim to please with their warm and distinctively Balinese hospitality.

Dining
Villa Cemara features a well-equipped kitchen complete with walk-in fridge. Here, the cook is at your service to prepare daily breakfast, lunch and dinner on request, as well as all-day snacks. Choose from an extensive suggestion menu of Indonesian, Asian and Western dishes that caters to all tastes – everything from tasty burgers to Balinese specialties and Mexican fare, all served home-style. If you crave something off-menu, the cook will happily oblige, whipping up dishes according to your tastes, as well as tailor meals to accommodate any special dietary requirements.
With a professional barbecue within the garden, why not enjoy a fresh-from-the-sea fish feast? Or if you would like to host a dinner party while in residence, the cook can prepare a gourmet meal for up to 25 guests.
Groceries and beverages are charged at cost price plus 20%++ handling fee. Staff will do the shopping and keep receipts for your reference. Please do discuss meals with the cook the evening before, to give the staff time to shop.
Families
Villa holidays are a great choice for families, who can enjoy their own private facilities plus the freedom to use them whenever you want. Knowing that the kids can enjoy themselves independently and safely, without you having to worry about them disturbing other guests, is a huge benefit – and one that means parents are certain to have a more relaxed holiday too.
Thanks to the configuration of bedrooms in three different beachfront pavilions, Villa Cemara provides fabulous space for a large family, or for a pair of families holidaying together.
With the beach literally on your doorstep, kids can enjoy building sandcastles and collecting shells from the shoreline. The calm, shallow sea at Sanur beach is particularly suited for young ones – perfect for paddling and splashing around in the balmy waters. Older kids can take advantage of a good choice of nearby water sports. And kids of all ages will relish the villa pool; parents can keep an eye on toddlers from the shade of the living pavilion. There is the option to hire other equipment like high chairs and baby cots (click here to see list of available items). And the staff love making kids feel welcome There’s a kids menu too – and the cook is always happy to make something off-menu for fussy eaters.
Sanur is very well-placed for discovering the ‘real Bali’, and beyond the villa there are adventures to be had. Check out our Things to do page – there’s plenty in the area to keep all the family amused throughout the holiday.
Spa
Feel like a body scrub or massage? Just ask our staff to bring the spa to you! We can recommend deluxe treatments carried out in the privacy of your villa by fully trained therapists from a reputable local spa (extra charges will apply). Here’s a sample of what’s on the menu:
- Massage
Release built up tension with a traditional Balinese massage. Using a combination of gentle stretches, acupressure and aromatherapy oils to stimulate the flow of blood, oxygen and energy around your body, you will feel totally relaxed in no time.
- Foot reflexology
Foot reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet corresponding to every part of the body. Through application of pressure on these reflexes tension is relieved and circulation improved leaving you feeling balanced.
- Manicure/pedicure
Our hands and feet work hard for us every day but rarely get the attention they deserve. Treat them to a manicure or pedicure, which usually comes with the added bonus of a quick hand or foot massage.
