Bali Retreat Aruba, 2 Pools, Cinema, Yoga, Cave, Hot Tub, Gym, 7 min to Beach
This is a completely private villa, all the amenities shown in the photos are for your exclusive use and not shared with anyone else.
Our property is inspired by the wondrous tropical villas of Southeast Asia. It artfully blends the cozy interiors of the Main House with a large tropical garden featuring majestic rock formations, set within a lush landscape adorned by a natural cave and two swimming pools with waterfall features
There are many vacation homes in Aruba, but none is like Bali Retreat. When you pass through the hand-carved teak door of the retreat, you leave behind the hoards of sun-burned tourists, tacky restaurant chains, and gaudy beach resorts of the Caribbean, and emerge in the exotic paradise of South East Asia.
As you take a stroll among the awe-inspiring, million-year-old granite boulders looming above you, by the picturesque pools with crashing waterfalls, and under the lush canopy of tropical foliage, the enchanting, whimsical ambience will make you feel as if you were magically transported to the faraway kingdoms of Thailand or Malaysia, or perhaps to one of the idyllic islands of Indonesia
And the longer you explore the layout of the villa and the maze of garden paths that connects various hidden areas within the lush grounds, the more likely you are to conclude that this is far more than just another house rental, rather it is your own private resort where anything that anyone might desire during their vacation can be found.
UTLIMATE RELAXATION If you seek rest and relaxation, youâll discover that nothing quiets the mind better than floating in the Garden Pool listening to the clamor of the waterfalls, reading a book under rustling palm trees while suspended in one of the hammocks in the Hammock Cove, meditating between two giant rocks in the Meditation Hollow, writing your journal in the tranquility of the Garden Lounge, gazing at the stars in the Sky Bed, taking a break from the afternoon heat in the cool Buddha Cave, or showering under a full moon in one of the open-air bathrooms with only the tropical song of cicadas as the backdrop.
STAY ACTIVE If you wish to invigorate and strengthen your body, you can swim in the Indoor Pool under ancient Buddha statues protruding from an imposing rock wall and two waterfalls cascading into the lap poolâs crystal waters.
You can work out in the open-air gym, play volleyball or badminton on the white sand Beach Court, practice yoga or pilate in the Yoga Pavilion, engross yourself in a game of chess in the Giant Chess Nook, play ping-pong in the Table Tennis Alcove on a custom-built table, or enjoy a game of billiards in the Main Hall.
WORK REMOTELY If you need to work, there is a fully air-conditioned office with a printer and the entire property is blanketed by a mesh wi-fi network.
SLEEP IN TROPICAL STYLE BEDROOMS In our three Tropical Suites, youâll enjoy luxurious ensuite bathroomsâtwo of which are open-airâalong with expansive glass sliding doors. These doors let you seamlessly blend the lush garden with your suite, allowing you to bask in the tropical climate. For moments when you prefer privacy and modern comfort, simply close the doors and enjoy the refreshing air conditioning. The Family Suite (formerly Guest Room) offers additional sleeping space for up to 4 people and has full bathroom with shower.
PRIVACY & PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT All of that in a secluded location that offers complete and unrestricted privacy from the outside world, where no prying eyes can ever intrude upon your solitude and disturb the retreatâs tranquility.
CONVENIENT LOCATION Given the above, many of the retreatâs guests venture out rarely. But should you want to, you will be just a few minutesâ drive from the shops and restaurants of Palm Beach and the white sands and blue waters of Eagle Beach.
IN-VILLA SERVICE ADD-ONS If youâd like to make your vacation even more special, private chefs can prepare for you amazing meals right in the retreat while you lounge by the pool, and trained masseuses and beauticians will transform the retreat into a full-service spa with a large offering of treatments. Please inquire about our menu and prices.
We would also be happy to arrange for you transfers to and from the airport, beaches, or restaurants, and hook you up with the best tours on the island - private or group sailings, jet ski rentals, ATV tours, and private air-conditioned van tours.
We had a bit of a bumpy start, the island lost power the day before we arrived and the house was a bit on the fritz. Sammi was very attentive and got an electrician out to get everything reset first thing in the morning. Once everything was up and running we had a lovely time, the house and grounds are expansive which worked out perfectly for our large group as anyone could find solitude if needed. This house is located in a local area but only ten minutes away from anywhere you may want to go, we had a rental car for half of us and the rest traded out taxiing for $15 a trip. The heat and humidity were intense (the living areas are open to the outside) but thatâs Aruba in September ha-ha. I would recommend putting all food items in the refrigerator regardless of if they need it, the local kitties like to help themselves to your tortillas.
The house is beautiful, youâll find another gorgeous feature everyday you stay. The neighbors are lovely, but you absolutely need to respect the 10pm quiet time rule. Thereâs also two puppers that live on the block, super sweet and they want all the pets. We all enjoyed our stay at the Bali retreat and would absolutely recommend to anyone.
The Bali Retreat is a magical paradise. The design is a work of art, from the open air living spaces to the suites with their our door tubs and showers. The sitting areas inside and out of the villa are comfortable and made for conversation, reminiscing, and connecting with your family or friends. The entertainment in this home is like no other rental Iâve ever seen. The need to leave this property during our vacation was not at the top of the list. I wished we had not booked so many excursions and spent more time at the villa. The yoga space, prayer room, volleyball on soft white sand, the theater, and the indoor and outdoor swimming pools were among my favorites. Others in my party enjoyed the hammocks, and
ping pong, and pool table. There was lots of something for everyone.
The hospitality given by Maria and Alex, the hired chefs, and the massage team where beyond belief. The people in Aruba period, are the best Iâve ever seen! This trip was an excellent choice for celebrating 27 years of travel with friends!
Our experience at Bali Aruba was wonderful. Maria is an incredibly responsive host who made sure we had everything we needed from time of booking to departure. She helped us arrange all of our activities, food, chefs, etc. The property is stunning, so many fun things to do and places to hang (loved the movie room!!). Maria and Alex were very responsive to help manage the mosquitos, but with an open house you definitely want to make sure you bring bug spray. Taxis are convenient, youâre a short 5-15min ride to beaches and restaurants.
The property is absolutely gorgeous and the host is responsive and accommodating with a list of services to provide in addition to the home.
The only drawbacks are the distance from the strip, the flies and mosquitoes, and that there is no AC in the common space. The home is much like a riad so the heart of it is an outdoor, open space. The property manager also visited daily to clean the pools and perform other maintenance. They were always kind and respectful.
This was literally a compound. We had so much fun just hanging out at the house, that we hardly left the premises. We felt like we had our own resort. We rented a car and really glad that we did. Made getting around to restaurants and stores much easier as it's not a "walkable" neighborhood.
