Shalimar Villas

The villa is fabulous! It was so peaceful spending the morning in the large garden and lounging by the pool. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing a great service. The food was delicious, the menu offers a large variety of meals and great vegetarian/vegan options. We were able to enjoy walks along the beach in front of the villa and through the local village of Seseh. The surrounding area is great to bike around and enjoy all the activities and restaurants it has to offer. Over all had a beautiful stay, thank you!

We had a family reunion in these villas. They have the advantage of being three independent but connected villas, so we could be as close together or as far apart as we wanted.The space is incredibly spacious, as are the bedrooms and bathrooms.The staff was very attentive and the food they prepared was very delicious.The Seseh area is beautiful, a balance between a Balinese town but with services for tourists. We signed up to do yoga every day (for €6) at the Udara yoga center, we rented bicycles and took walks through the surrounding towns and the coast, and sometimes we ate in the villa and other times in one of the restaurants in the area. In the afternoons a wine at the Warung on the beach, wonderful.And other days I walk along the beach to Batu Bolong, an area full of shops and restaurants. And then for the excursions the staff helped us reserve a driver and plan them.I truly believe, having visited other areas of the island, that Seseh is the most recommended, and of course Shalimar is a wonderful house.All in all, a great stay, the feeling of having truly been in Bali.

Amazing location, beautiful villas and lovely staff!

Service, place & price are very good

Wow, that's really good

After consulting with 18 adults in our group, who have extensive experience staying in over 50+ villas globally, we regrettably cannot recommend Shalimar Villas. …

Sacred village

Incredible Villa

We got married at Shalimar last month and whilst the venue is a beautiful backdrop and space for a wedding, the stay at the villa was less than ideal. There were so many things wrong with it I don’t even know where to begin, but our main issue was that the largest villa of the estate (Kalima) had no hot/running water for the entirety of our 3 night stay. We mentioned it on day one and they told us the next day it had been fixed. It had not been fixed and there was absolutely zero communication about it. We were there to get married so didn’t have time to be chasing them on everything so we just got on with it and showered in a different villa. Two of our guests staying in the smaller villa also got bed bugs (the villa denies this of course and tbh there is no way to prove either way) but the guests are regular visitors to Bali and were staying at Como Canggu either side and had no issues there. Aside from the issue of no hot/running water and bed bugs (as if that isn’t enough) we also had issues with the poor wifi connection, filthy curtains/mosquito nets, lack of staff presence and we arrived to find an enormous construction site next door that used angle grinders late into the evening. The manager claims this had been mentioned to the Booking Agent (he tends to use the booking agent to avoid accountability for a lot of things, you will also see that from other reviews on here) but it had never been communicated to us. We did lodge a formal complaint regarding all our issues with the manager once we returned home from our wedding/holiday and as mentioned above, whilst he acknowledged the hot water situation, his lack of responsibility or accountability for any other issues was quite concerning. Instead, he had an excuse for everything. I have no doubt he will respond to this review with an essay of excuses too, he is that type of person. I will say that they did offer us compensation for the water issue… the compensation being a complimentary 3 night stay in the 2 bed villa, but only in low season and only in the next 12 months. Laughable. A completely empty and insignificant offer considering the huge amount of money we spent to have a functioning villa!
