I don't usually go back to the same hotels or villas twice since I like to try new things. Nowadays, every destination has a wide variety of accommodations, each trying to outdo each other so there's usually no reason I should go back a second time. Except for Villa Sinsin, since it feels like I've come home every time.
Walking into the living room was a breath of fresh air. The huge space and beautiful surroundings is always peaceful. All you hear is the sounds of birds chirping and the wind blowing through the leaves, all you see is the beautiful pool calling out to you. The team greeted us at the door and welcomed us in with drinks and fresh flowers.
We quickly unpacked and settled in, and were asked what we'd like for dinner that night so they could either make reservations or prep the ingredients. We opted to stay in since we were too lazy to head out. We then lazed around the pool, had a few masseuses called in and prepared for dinner. It was the perfect afternoon even though we had just landed that morning.
Dinner, which we left to the team to decide, was delicious. A cold soup and light crabmeat pasta. Perfect for our first day in Bali. After, we had our tea brought up to the living room and we listened to the frogs serenade us.
The next day, we went for an outing to Seminyak to walk around the shops and restaurants - everything was no more than 10 minutes away so there's really no better location. You get the quietness for a calming holiday but the hustle of the main areas just a stone's throw away.
I can't emphasize enough about the attention to detail from Villa Sinsin and the team. Everything is perfectly prepared all the time, and you can tell that the eye for design isn't just for the architecture of the villa but it goes right down to the table settings at your breakfast every morning.
Oh, and my favourite part - the outdoor shower. A stay here is worth if for the shower alone!
