Activities around the Villa

Posted on

You can do so many things in and around Villa Senang, that you can stay ‘at home’ all the time if you want to. Think swimming, sun bathing and reading. But also meditating, running, mountain biking and painting.

Bali is a spiritual island. The beautiful sunrises and sunsets are the best moments to meditate. Villa Senang’s garden offers many inspiring sites to relax.

In Villa Senang’s hinterland, many even and hilly roads are very suitable for running. Especially during the cool early mornings very special and unforgettable running experiences can be made.

Swimming

Apart from the pool, you can of course take a dive into the ocean. You can use water shoes if you want. During some weeks, especially in or right after the raining season, the ocean and beach can be filthy because of the dirt coming from the mountain villages through the river. We then recommend to use the pool and don’t swim in the ocean.

Mountain biking

In the near village of Lovina mountain bikes can be rented in various locations. You can choose to plan your own route, or make a organised tour with a guide. He will make a tour to fit your travel party.

Art

A relaxing stay in Villa Senang inspired many guests to create works of art. Here some works by Petra Tolboom.
