We had the most incredible 6-night stay at Saudara Sunshine in Seminyak and couldn't recommend it more highly!
A HUGE thank you to our wonderful butler, Ayu, who truly made our stay unforgettable. She was an absolute angel and took the best care of us from the moment we arrived. Her cooking was exceptional every meal was delicious and she made the best coffees every morning! Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her kindness and warmth made us feel completely at home. 🥰🤗
The villa itself is absolutely stunning! Beautifully designed, immaculately maintained, and the perfect place to relax and unwind. We loved every minute of our stay.
A special thank you also to the owner, Anna, who made the entire booking process and communication so easy and completely hassle-free. She has created a truly gorgeous villa, and it shows in every detail. 🌸
We can't wait to come back. Highly, highly recommend Saudara Sunshine to anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable stay in Seminyak! 🌞 🏝️ 💛

Choosing which Saudara Villa to stay in is never easy. Each one has its own personality, each is perfectly positioned in Seminyak with everything at your fingertips, and each welcomes you with that same warm hug the moment you arrive. Every villa is simply… perfect.
This trip, my friends and I decided to stay at two Villas, Saudara Sunshine is one of our absolute favourites, so it made sense to start there. The location is incredible and with its recent exterior update, the villa is even more bright, fresh and instantly calming. It's the kind of space that makes you unwind the second you walk in. We were greeted by Ari on arrival, and the next morning our beautiful Butler Ayu was there, just as excited to see us again as we were to see her. And of course, Wayan, the most incredible Guest Services Manager, who makes every arrival feel like you’ve come home. Within minutes we launched straight into Bali mode: pool time, Ayu’s amazing cooking, sunshine, shopping and that wonderful villa life we love so much. We also met Adele this time, Saudara’s back-up Butler, and she is simply wonderful.
Next came a brand-new experience at Saudara Palm and wow… just wow. Palm sleeps up to 10 with four stunning bedrooms, all with ensuites, a huge living area, a beautiful verandah with additional seating, and a gorgeous dining space off the fabulous kitchen. The amazing Arik is the Butler at Palm and she completely blew us away with her care, her cooking, keeping the villa sparkling and making everything absolutely perfect every single day. Nia supported Arik, and it was so lovely to see her again after she took such great care of our housekeeping when we stayed at Saudara Love last year. We were also lucky enough to have Adele look after us for a day at Palm as well. We are already planning an extended family stay here as Palm is perfect for friends, families, couples and the perfect place for a Cocoloco cocktail party as well!
Anna and Wayan, thank you once again for another sensational stay. The way you care for every single guest is exactly why our annual visits have so quickly turned into six‑monthly trips. And thank you to Ketut for picking us up, driving us everywhere we wanted and getting us safely back to the airport when our fabulous two weeks were up. Having the best driver in Bali, and that massive smile every time we see him, makes all the difference.
There really aren’t enough words to describe the perfection that is Saudara, but one thing is always true: here, you gain a Bali family. Saudara means family, and with that comes safety, security, comfort, happiness and love, something you simply won’t find anywhere else.
Thanks again everyone, and see you very soon.

We recently had the best 6 night stay at Saudara Sunshine. It had recently had an outdoor renovation which looked amazing with the new pool.
We chose Saudara based on the location so close to eat street, we have been to Bali many times but this was the first time with our 10 month old son - so location was important as we wanted to be able to walk most places and not rely on transport. So many of our favourite Seminyak restaurants just a 5-10 minute walk away. This is seriously the best location to stay in Seminyak!
A quick walk to the beach or Seminyak square and plenty of great spas close by.
We also loved that the villa could have the living space enclosed with air con, this was great to also contain our crawling 10 month old!
Now the best part of all was our beautiful butler Ayu! We have never had a butler before on prior Bali trips, and she seriously made our trip. The most beautiful and caring person and Ayu made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived, our son loved her and we immediately felt comfortable to leave him with her for short periods of time away to relax as a couple. Ayu also cooked us some beautiful meals in the villa during our stay - would 100% recommend the corn fritters!!
The whole experience from booking with Anna, and just the entire stay was seamless. We will definitely be back in the future and wouldn’t stay anywhere else! Thank you to the whole Saudara team who took care of us (Wayan, Ayu & Ketut) this was a holiday we won’t forget!

A perfect 2 b/room villa and the end of a well lit Gang. There are no details missed here - everything is so well appointed. The bathrooms - one with a bath, have beautiful toiletries for you to use, fluffy towels and a decent hairdryer. Plenty of space to hang clothes. The lounge and dining is super comfy with a lounge to chill on. Bluetooth speaker and smart TVs that you can log in your Australian Netflix are an added bonus. All the mini bar snacks are not overpriced, which saves a walk to Circle K if you have a craving. Good wines are also in the fridge. Nina came in each day and made breakfast and did any housekeeping. The staff are so obliging. Revolver Cafe is at the top of the Gang, and then out onto the main street for so many restaurants to choose from. Walking distance to KuDeTa or Potato Head, and down to Double Six if you like a good walk. Definitely recommend staying here and can't wait to head back later this year. Thank you to all the staff at Saudara Sunshine, we loved our stay.
