Blue Karma Village
Total number of rooms: 5 | Prices start from US$
Every villa at Blue Karma Village gives you that “hidden in the jungle” feeling, even though you’re not far from the buzz of downtown Bali. But you will also find the Javanese ethnic style across the villas. Think wood carvings, traditional details, and open-plan layouts that let in plenty of light and breeze. These villas are big. Each one comes with a comfy lounge area, a private terrace, a kitchen, and even an in-house bar. So whether you want to relax with a drink, cook something light, or just unwind in the living space, you’ve got options.
You need to know this: the bathrooms are semi-outdoor. They’re modern, clean, and come with full amenities. They let you feel that “Bali outdoor shower” moment without sacrificing comfort. Bear in mind that you’re in Bali, so you might come across a gecko or two, but there’s nothing to worry about — the staff will help you handle it if needed.
The pool area is a favorite for guests, it’s clean, peaceful, and surrounded by tropical plants. It’s a great for relaxing or snapping a few photos. The hotel isn’t overly “Instagrammable” in the flashy sense, but it is full of corners that look effortlessly good on camera, especially the wooden textures, and open-air spaces.
Breakfast is fabulous and included. It’s made to order and served in your villa’s dining area, so you can ease into your day without rushing anywhere. The on-site restaurant also surprised many visitors, especially with its Japanese fusion dishes. There are also Indonesian options, and the cocktails get consistent praise.
A small heads-up: this isn’t a “walk everywhere” location. While you’re just a short drive from Seminyak, the area itself is a bit more residential. There are some restaurants and mini-marts nearby, but you’ll want to rent a scooter. You can also ask the hotel to help with a driver if you plan to move around a lot.
