There has been much said about Senggigi’s awesome ocean sunsets, and even after all these years, I never tire of those dazzling orange-red hues as they sink slowly below a horizon framed by a distant Mount Agung on Bali. However that sense of splendour goes into overdrive when sipping a cold one and soaking up the sunset scene from a lofty hillside position. This is just one of the benefits of a chic stay at Mora Royal Villa. The breezy Bukit Batu Layar location overlooking Senggigi Bay sets the perfect scene for a touch of luxe in a private setting.

The three-bed private villa hugs the hillside juxtaposed between the lush greenery and the flawless blue hues of the ocean and sky. It is laid out in an ingenious way offering scenic views of the gardens, pool and of course the ocean scenery from a number of vantage points from bedrooms and communal areas. Accommodation is well spaced out providing ample privacy for all, yet has been designed to offer at the perfect social haven, be it private dining beneath the stars or sipping cool cocktails around the infinity pool by day. It’s a fine choice for privacy carving honeymooners or a larger family group. In fact Mora Royal has become a go-to option for private gatherings and intimate weddings.

The three bedrooms each have their own unique design characteristics, fusing contemporary flair with a touch of familiar tropical style. Dark natural woods blend well with subtle artwork and mood lighting, and feature equally eye-catching en suite bathrooms – arguably among some of the largest in the Senggigi villa scene. The rooms flawlessly blend with the indoor-outdoor lounging and dining social spaces, and of course the inviting pool provides the ultimate vantage point to the stunning sunsets. There are several shady green areas to chillax and seek solace from the heat.

A team of villa associates are on standby to take care of all those whims from foot and body massage therapy to a trained chef ready to create a bespoke home concept dining experience using freshly picked organic natural produce direct from garden. Full in-villa room service and Wi-Fi comes as standard.

If you are craving something a little different in Senggigi, Mora Royal Villa ticks all the right boxes. You get all the quietude of a private hillside haven supported by all those luxury creature comforts we all long for. Plus, who can seriously resist those priceless views?
