Villa Surya Damai is located at the edge of the peaceful village of Umalas, one of a group of small rural communities that constitute the Kerobokan district, just north of bustling Seminyak. Umalas is home to a growing number of foreign - owned residences and traditional dwellings as well as the popular Umalas Equestrian Resort.

The villa lies off a narrow lane that runs across a small bridge and dissects the rice fields. To the side of the villa, immediately outside the front wooden entrance doors, is a field of grazing cows. A pleasant 15 -minute - or - so walk through farming communities and rice fields brings you to the nearest beach, Batubelig. Great for surfing, this black-sand beach, like many along this south - west coastline, has strong currents, so is not advisable for swimming. For calmer waters and more developed beachside amenities, head south to Legian Beach’s golden sands, around 30 minutes away.

US$2.5 million

The Villa is offered for sale with all its fixtures, fittings and furnishings and full staff.
