Nica

Completed in 2023, the stylish Villa Nica is sure to wow with its contemporary tropical architecture, chic interiors, finely curated art and an unparalleled sense of space. This no-expenses-spared six-bedroom villa sprawls across two wings, with vast interlinking indoor and outdoor living spaces oriented for the sweeping rice field vistas. Delight in your light-filled bedroom retreat in the east wing, or be the lucky couple who gets the enormous master suite taking up the entirety of the upper west wing; its glass-bottomed pool seemingly floating above the sunken pool lounge glimpsed below.

Start the day with sun salutations on the sunggai lawn. Slide into the 25-metre saltwater pool and swim up to the bar for a tropical smoothie. Soak up the sun on the double sunbeds then cool off under the water cascade. Linger over a leisurely butler-served lunch at the 4.4-metre dining table. Settle in front of the 80-inch TV for an air-conditioned afternoon with Netflix. Gather for sunset cocktails in the living area linking the wings, then head to the sunken pool lounge for a seafood barbecue prepared by the accomplished villa Chef.

The sleek lines, natural materials and neutral colour palette that flow through Villa Nica create a luxurious setting for social occasions both big and small, from laid-back celebrations for 14 to lavish weddings for 100. For extended families and groups of friends, this is the ultimate private escape — secluded yet within a short 10-minute drive of black sand beaches and the cool cafes and nightlife of Canggu.
