We chose Villa Arika as the venue for a birthday celebration with close family and friends. It was the perfect setting. Everything we were wanting for our stay.
Set on a huge area, right on the beachfront at Canggu/Perenanan.
Although it is beachfront, the way the grounds have been designed, it is also private, so that people walking along the beach cannot see straight in.
The bedrooms are huge. 2 being semi attached to the main complex and the other 2 located behind this. All but the upstairs bedroom have semi outdoor bathrooms. There is a kitchen, where if needed, you will find the staff and in front of this a dining room. Between this and the main bedroom are is a large open (but protected by a roof) lounge area with plenty of relaxed seating and table and chairs. This was perfect for us, being monsoon season we had quite a lot of rain and this mean we could all still be together without having to retreat to our rooms. Also part of the main bedroom area was a tv/movie room which was also a great place to relax and watch movies if the weather was inclement.
There is a small gym which my daughter and son in law made use of.
The pool is fabulous. Plenty of room for all 8 of us to enjoy and the outlook is amazing. The grassed area between the main building and the pool was great for games of cricket and badminton which was supplied. Also supplied is a huge range of books and dvds to keep you busy if you are not feeling energetic.
We arranged for a birthday dinner to be prepared at the villa. Wow!! An Indonesian feast was enjoyed by all!!
All requests were met and the staff were extremely efficient, attentive, yet unobtrusive.
Villa Arika is in a very quiet area, which is exactly what we were looking for. We only went out to dinner and to take a stroll around the area and beach. It may not be what you are after if you are looking for more action, although having said that, there is a car and driver provided, so there is no problem to head further afield if you wish.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Arika and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it, especially if you are looking for somewhere as a special occasion.

We came to a wedding here and being apart of the bridal party was fortunate enough to spend lots of time at Villa Arika, staff were helpful but this villa has it all, pool, private villas and garden areas. On the beach too so perfect for all types of occasions!!
Highly recommend

We stayed at Villa Arika recently with several other couples. It is the perfect place for a group of friends to hang out and enjoy a relaxing time in a magical environment. The common areas including the open living room and dining room look out over the expansive garden and pool to the sea. The pool is bigger than many hotel pools and is a great spot for enjoying the sunset. Rooms are large and beautifully appointed with Balinese art and comfortable beds. Most significantly, there is large Balinese staff who take care of everything. We loved Juli's cooking! We can't wait to go back.

We celebrated our wedding in Villa Arika and all of us fell in love with arika. It was beautiful with many greens and the sound of the sea. The rooms are amazing and comfortable with full blast AC. but we usually switched it off as it was too cold. Bathroom were very tidy and staff were very friendly and smiley. We wished to go back to Arika again.

I got married at Villa Arika in September 2014 and along with our bridal party stayed for 3 nights. The rooms were amazing and the view was something else. The wedding was just perfect and the gardens were maintained so well. The view was beautiful and I think it took everyone's breath away when they entered the villa for the wedding. The service fo the staff was exceptional and I highly recommend getting the chef to cook up some dinner, it was the best dinner we had in Bali and very reasonably priced. Thankyou everyone at Villa Arika for making my wedding day perfect! We can't wait to come back again.

We stayed 5 days at Villa Arika along with our wedding party. We had our wedding there also. The venue is stunning and we have no negatives to say about our visit. The rooms are lovely, clean and spacious, the staff were friendly and cooperative and everything we needed was provided or able to be sent for. Everything was done with a minimum of fuss and staff were never intrusive. They were always available if we needed anything and a driver was provided who was also very helpful. There are a variety of cafés within close walking distance so we could easily walk down for food, get it delivered or have the villa staff cook for us. It was a stunning venue with lovely staff and we highly recommend it to anyone as a truly beautiful and relaxing place to stay. We can't wait to visit again.
