Complementing the use of luxurious natural materials, Villa Sakti is furnished with extraordinary artifacts and antiques acquired by collectors from Indonesia and across Asia over a period of some 40 years. With its lush tropical garden, 18 meter infinity pool and magical architectural design that blurs the boundaries between in-door air-conditioned comfort and outdoor living, Villa Sakti truly is a magical private retreat in the middle of Seminyak, the hottest holiday location area in Bali. Your stay in Villa Sakti puts you in an environment of unparalleled art and luxury.

Villa Sakti is located safely in a private estate with 24-hour security at the entrance to its private lane and its own security guard at night.
