Hu’u Villas – The Not So New Kid On The Block..

For the uninitiated, The Hu’u brand is not foreign to Bali, especially regarding nightlife because the Hu’u Bar has been at the forefront of Bali’s club scene since 2001 and considered as the godfather of Petitenget itself.

Favourite Bali beaches such as Legian, Seminyak and Canggu are all within twenty minutes’ drive from the Hu’U Villas. It is quite evident that tourists and travellers find it convenient to manoeuvre their way around the nearby streets, tote bags in hand, getting to the beach to bask in the local atmosphere.

Besides the beach life, if you wish to access Balinese culture as well, you can make way to one of the most important sea temples in Bali – the Petitenget Temple – which is only a two-minute walk away.

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Hu’u Brand

There is Hu’u Bar for music, drinks, dancing and unwinding; Hu’u Bistro to nourish the body; and Hu’u Villas for a total immersion of the Hu’u experience. Regardless of whether one is looking for casual relaxing stay or an all-out party weekend, Hu’u Villas provides the best of both worlds.

Hu’u represents Bali’s evolution from a beach town to a designer getaway through its architecture that fuses minimalism with nuances of ethnic opulence.  Hu’u Villas seduces the senses with its indulgent private pools in every villa and expansive wooden lounge decks that are all interconnected. The fact that every single one of its villa and loft has a private pool attached is a winning factor that automatically makes guests feel exclusively special. Don’t be fooled by its modest façade – it is a precious gem of a place waiting to be discovered and unfold.

With regard to the people of Hu’u, Gaya Travel team discovered that they are a group of epicureans who advocate fun, eating well, and possess a wholesome view on love and life – these people really know how to elevate travellers’ Bali experience to a whole new level.

Why Hu’u Villas?

Consisting of only 10 villas, each one personifies Hu’u’s distinctive quality, designed in different layouts and décor. The entire property feels luxurious and extraordinary yet personal and homely at the same time. Much emphasis is given on space, especially at the living room where guests are expected to spend most of their time.

One Bedroom Villa

As any other villas worldwide, Hu’u gives the opportunity for their guests to choose which type of villa that suit them. The one bedroom lofts at Hu’u pay homage to stylish comfort. Soothing and smooth, the one bedroom lofts bring together virtually 17.5 square-metre loft space and sanctuary retreat, all in an insulated tempered-glass dwelling and nearly 20 foot-high ceilings. Teak wood floors lead into the intimate loft bedroom where guests can slip into soft king-sized bed linens. It also comes with a private deck and pool outside.

Two Bedroom Villa

At nearly 225-square meters, the two-bedroom achingly chic villas bring the outdoors in through its large glass-panelled wall, allowing guests to also take in the view of the pool from various angles of the airy villa. It also has a private deck and pool. The master bedroom balcony overlooks the elegant manicured landscape of the private outdoor area. The naturally lit bathroom – furnished with giant egg-shaped bathtub, spacious rainforest shower, defined double sinks, polished concrete floors and backlit mirrors – brings the tropical outdoors inside.

The Penthouse

The crème de la crème of the villa experience at Hu’u just has to be its three-bedroom penthouse. The very walk that leads to the penthouse is amazingly unassuming until the moment guests actually see themselves in front of the door of the penthouse.

The layout of this 298 square-metre penthouse, juxtaposed with the glittering blue waters of the hypnotic 32 square-metre pool, somehow blends the best of Bali into one clean contemporary space. To the writer, the most eye-catching feature of the penthouse would be the portrait of Che Guevara, one of the major figures of the Cuban Revolution. Based on this, one could quickly deduce that the founders of the property are the type that uphold ideas or movements that are groundbreaking and revolutionary, which without doubt are applied onto Hu’u Villas.

Facilities

For gym and health enthusiasts, although there isn’t a dedicated gym attached to the property, there is shuttle service that transports guests from the villa every morning and evening to The Canggu Club, approximately 10 minutes away from Hu’u Villa. At the Club, guests will be able to enjoy the state-of-the-art health and entertainment facilities, an overall country club lifestyle right in the middle of Seminyak.

Dining

Aligning with Hu’u’s island-meets-city philosophy, the Hu’u Bistro menu presents itself as a refinement of iconic dishes from around the Asian region. Dining at Hu’u Bistro redefines guests’ experience of modern Asian as the establishment attempts to continuously push the envelope when it comes to fusing the old and tested with the new and bold such as the popular Indo KFC (an interesting twist on the world famous fried chicken) and the intriguing Watermelon Sashimi (watermelon that is treated and possesses sashimi-like texture).
