SEMINYAK
Jajaliluna
Located in the bustling hub of Seminyak, Villa Jajaliluna is a peaceful oasis and a welcome escape from the crowds. Seminyak is a great spot for family holidays due to its endless variety of restaurants and cafes, its sandy beach, and its awesome shopping, but it is a welcome escape to have your own private sanctuary just minutes down the road.
Villa Jajaliluna is a gorgeous 4-bedroom property with plenty to keep you and the little ones occupied. Spend your holiday splashing in the private T-shaped swimming pool or indulging in freshly prepared food made by your very own in-house chef. Take shade under the coconut palms and relax with a book, whilst the friendly staff challenge the kids to a game of Nintendo Wii in the media room. The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down either – we all know how excited kids get when they see bunk beds, and there are four of them at Villa Jajaliluna!
And if you think that won’t keep everyone busy, you also get complimentary guest passes to the popular Canggu Club, where you can eat pizza, have a family game of bowling, and even challenge the kids to a game of basketball on trampoline’s at Bounce!

The Layar
The Layar is a stunning villa resort located in the heart of Seminyak, comprising of twenty-three 1-4-bedroomed villas. Each villa has its very own swimming pool [complete with a shallow end and pool fence if needed], plus a landscape garden perfect for the little ones to run around and play on.
There is a fully functional kitchen in each villa, so you can prepare meals for the fussy eaters easily, or alternatively there is the option to call room service and get your food delivered [well, you are on holiday too!]. And if the little ones fancy some pasta or pizza, head to The Layar’s very own on-site Italian restaurant, Settimo Cielo.
We all know that the amount of luggage you need to bring on holiday seems to triple when you have kids in tow, but fear not! The helpful staff at The Layar can hire you anything you need so that it is waiting for you when you arrive. What more could you ask for!

For you there is a shared gym and spa [the latter being much more up our street!], and for the kids there is a private swimming pool and garden, providing lots of private space for playing.
The best bit though has to be the shared playground, complete with slide, swings, sandpit and even a Wendy house for all their imaginative play!
