Hotel and resort accommodation still is the major accommodation type they choosed but holiday Bali villas and apartments have become a popular alternative to Hotels and resorts for singaporean going on holiday. Private villa advantages include greater privacy, the opportunity to cater for oneself, a more homely feel, more space and better value for money for groups and families.

Singaporean consider several option in renting a villa, often they book larger villas with their own swimming pool at a lower price by avoiding the most high demand locations by the beach. Mostly will choose Seminyak and Canggu area because in this area the private villas are near enough to night life of Kuta & Seminyak but has more privacy and quiet. with most of the villas already include car and driver, this is the best option which benefits can include a quieter, more rural villa location but many beaches can still be reached after a short drive.
