DINING

The villa’s private chef is at your service to prepare daily breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dinner parties, functions, healthy foods, unique dietary requirements and special orders can all be catered for, and meals can be a simple affair, a poolside barbecue, or a grand banquet according to your whim. Vegetarian and children’s dishes are also included on our suggestion menu.

Many Western meals are available, but we recommend you to try some Indonesian and Balinese dishes for a true cultural experience. A stay is not complete without sampling the chef’s pepes ikan (fish steamed in banana leaf), satay ayam (chicken satay on bamboo skewers) or pisang goreng (fried banana) with ice cream.

Groceries and beverages are charged at cost price plus 20% (which is subject to prevailing tax and service charge). Guests will be requested to provide grocery money in advance, and the staff will do the shopping and keep the receipts for reference. To make the most of the kitchen and give staff time to shop, it is a good idea to plan meals the evening before.

Knowing that the kids can run around happily, independently and safely, without you having to worry about other guests, is a real plus – and one that means parents are certain to have a more relaxed holiday too.

Seseh Beach Villas have been designed very much with children in mind.Three of the rooms in Seseh Beach Villa I have twin beds (convertible to kings if preferred), and Seseh Beach Villa II has a great bunk bedroom which sleeps four children. Kids will love playing on the large lawns and splashing in the pools, being so near to the beach and having a Playstation, Xbox and Wii at hand.

The team of friendly staff will make children feel as welcome as adults, and having these willing helpers on hand gives guests plenty of flexibility and freedom to do their own exploring beyond the villa grounds (full-time babysitting incurs a small extra cost).

Although the equipped kitchen allows you to prepare meals for fussy eaters or babies with ease, staff will happily to do this for you – just talk through your requirements and meal schedules with the villa manager or chef and they will take care of the rest. Pancakes by the pool for breakfast? Toasties for tea? No problem. The chef can customise all meals to suit children’s taste buds.
