Indonesia contain from more than hundred culture, and every cultures are unique! It may be inspired the owner of some Bali villas to use the unique style of Indonesia culture on their villa's design. As my observation, some villas in Bali have Javanese antique house as their building, or traditional Balinese 'Jineng" house.
As mentioned from "Enjoy Indonesian Heritage in Your Bali Holiday" , you will understand riches of Indonesia style could synergy with contemporary style as the trend of many villas now using minimalist style. I also very appreciate to the brilliant architects that could combine the exotic beach or lush rice field of Bali with the antique style house such as Jineng and Joglo.
The Khayangan Estate is fully designed with antique Joglo house as their building, located in Uluwatu just next to Bulgari hotel, Khayangan Estate is really like heaven in the world.

Canggu located just 30 minutes from Ngurah Rai international airport, 15 minutes drive from Seminyak and from the famous Greg Norman golf course in Tanah Lot. Canggu more quite and secluded for vacation than Seminyak, therefore many villas in Canggu located in Balinese rural village with rice field padi view or in virgin river side.
Now, after two famous destination above, Batu Belig offer a new Bali villas experience. Batu Belig could reach only 5 minutes drive from Petitenget Seminyak and Canggu.

As many peoples predicate that February and March 2009 is hard period of villa rental business in Bali. Be sides that period is low season, it's also influenced by global crisis in around the world. I found also many villas doing renovation on their building, wielding low occupancy. Not only Bali villas has been low occupancy, some luxury resort also has impact by the crisis.
This condition has made Bali Villas Association has to creativity, take some opportunity to do promotion to some country such as Malaysia, Singapore and also they targeting domestic market. The association hope derivation of occupancy till 10%. Yes, i also hope next April the market will normal and occupancy will increasing.
