What is the best way to enjoy Bali and be pampered while doing so? Simple! Instead of checking into a five star hotel that offers you amenities at a steep cost but minus the private pleasures that you want to enjoy, rent a villa in the beautiful Bali countryside. It is impossible to get personalized care from the house staff at a hotel because at the hotel, there are many demanding customers to attend to. So the customer- house staff ratio is quite lopsided. At any point of time, you can feel how under staffed a hotel can be. But in a villa, you can let yourself be properly looked after by the villa staff, you can get the villa cooks to cook your favorite dishes, you can savor traditional Balinese cuisine and even get the best of the wines and liquors at your own convenience. You can avail of all these by only paying for the ingredients that are required to prepare your meals. The staff at the villas would be glad to show you around Bali in luxury cars. You may even get to see places no normal tourists would get to see. You’ll be bound to agree that the experience would definitely be way better than the ‘packaged tour’ offers that most five star hotels would include in their tariffs. Let the villa staff show you unseen exotic places and help you see the nuances of Balinese civilization, and you’ll be glad you booked a villa instead of checking in to a noisy five star! If the tour has left you exhausted, all you need to do is inform the house staff of it. And voila! They will arrange for the best massages for you. Swedish massage, Balinese local massage, reflexology, body wraps, body scrubs and even an exotic Balinese flower bath- you name it and they’ll arrange it for you. Need to look your best for a champagne party you’re hosting at your villa? Get the best manicure and pedicure and top it up with a facial- all in the privacy of your own villa. Many clients book their villas months in advance. So it is advisable that you book yours well ahead of actually making the trip. Many villa services have websites which you can browse and choose the one that suit your requirement the most. The villas range from little hideaways that make for a romantic vacation for a couple to grand estates where you can enjoy with your friends and family. You can even choose your villa locationwise depending on whether you want to stay close to the shopping destinations or the beach. However, it is also very important to check the authenticity of the company that is renting out the villa before actually booking it. There are some that you will find which charge very low rentals and advertise heavily on the Internet. They will charge you money and ultimately when you reach Bali, you find out that no villa by that name exists! So be very careful while choosing your villa and check only those out that are properly based in Bali!
