Babakan, Canggu

Villa Talitha

10 guests2 bedrooms5 beds2 baths

A newly built villa over two levels, with two separate lounges — room for ten without ever feeling full.

The problem with a group holiday is that everyone wants the same room at different times. Someone is reading. Someone else has found a film. A third person would like to have a conversation.

Talitha solves this by having two lounges, one on each level, each with its own sofa bed. It is the reason a two-bedroom villa comfortably sleeps ten and still feels spacious — there is always somewhere else to be.

Newly built, in the same calm cream, teak and sage as the rest of the collection, and set in Babakan: one of the greenest, quietest pockets of Canggu.

The Space

Floor-to-ceiling glass doors fold the living areas open to the pool and garden, so the ground floor becomes an extension of the terrace. Air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout.

Two separate lounges across two levels, each with a double sofa bed — the practical difference between this villa and most of its size. Smart TVs in both, 42 inches and 50, with Netflix and streaming. A dining table that works equally well for shared meals or as a desk on a working morning.

The kitchen is fully equipped: gas stove, microwave, fridge-freezer, water dispenser, Nespresso machine, kettle and proper cookware, with a breakfast bar and stools. Dining indoors and out.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

Bedroom One — a king bed with an ensuite Balinese bathroom.

Bedroom Two — two king beds with an ensuite and a double shower.

Both are dressed in hotel-quality linens with blackout curtains and air conditioning, and both close fully — so however open the villa lives by day, there is always a cool, sealed room to sleep in.

Add the two double sofa beds across the lounges and the villa hosts up to ten, which is unusual flexibility for two bedrooms and the reason groups tend to choose it.

The Garden & Pool

A private pool set into tropical planting, with two sun loungers and a hand-fringed Balinese parasol. The garden is secluded — mornings here are birdsong and nobody else — and there is secure parking for a car or several scooters.

As with all our villas, this one lives open to the Balinese tropics, and the tropics live back. Geckos on the walls, considered good fortune here; butterflies through the garden; the occasional ant in the warm months. Every villa and hotel on the island has them. We treat the villa professionally every four weeks, and the bedrooms seal completely.

The Neighbourhood

Babakan is the calm, green part of Canggu that most visitors drive past. Rice fields, village lanes, and the ordinary rhythm of people going about their day — close enough to everything, far enough from the congestion of the central streets.

Batu Bolong, La Brisa and Old Man's are around ten minutes by scooter. Berawa Beach a little over ten. Pererenan Beach and the coastal walkways about fifteen. Finns Beach Club roughly twelve, and Canggu's cafés and boutiques a few minutes in any direction.

Body Factory, The Practice and the nearby gyms are minutes away; padel courts in Berawa and Pererenan ten to fifteen. Tanah Lot is an easy fifteen-minute run for sunset, and the airport forty-five minutes to an hour depending on traffic.

All times are approximate and by scooter — Bali's traffic shifts through the day.

Getting Around

Canggu is best on two wheels. Our own Nusa Havens fleet can be delivered to the gate before you arrive — including licence-free electric vehicles that need no motorcycle permit, for guests who would rather not ride.

Grab and Gojek are widely used and inexpensive, and a private driver or chauffeured car can be arranged for airport transfers, temple trips or a day exploring further afield.

Drivers, chefs and island days can be arranged through our experiences.

Good to Know

Check-in from 4:00 PM, check-out by 11:00 AM. Self check-in available, with full details sent before arrival. A valid passport is required for guests aged 18 and over — standard for villa stays in Bali.

Your Villa Hostess welcomes every guest personally. For arrivals after 9:00 PM a small late-welcome fee applies, so she can stay and greet you properly however late your journey.

The pool is unfenced and directly accessible from the living areas, and is not heated. Children must be supervised at all times, particularly under-12s and non-swimmers. We ask that the entrance gates are kept closed. A cot and high chair are available on request with notice.

Private leisure stays only — no events or parties, in respect of our neighbours. Smoking in the garden and pool area only. No security deposit is required; we simply ask that you treat the villa with the care we put into preparing it.

Bali is developing quickly, and building work happens across the island. We chose this quiet Babakan pocket deliberately and protect it as far as we can, but we do not control the land around us. Should nearby noise arise, message your Villa Hostess and we will do what we can.

The Nusa Restoration Ritual

Stays of five nights or more include a wellness credit toward an in-villa ritual with Ibu Nenek, whose family has practised Balinese healing for sixty years.
