Idyllic Serenity
Villa holidays work brilliantly for families as the space, privacy,
home-from-home feel and staff on tap allow everyone to relax. In
a crowded and mass-managed market, however, it’s tricky to
sort the good from the mediocre. Kemah Tinggi therefore
focuses on being family-friendly and is owner-managed to
ensure that guests are offered value for money and attentive
service. Returning guests love knowing that they’ll be welcomed
by the same friendly and experienced Balinese team and
that the pool fence, stair gates, baby cots, football field, table
tennis and infinity pool are waiting for them. Nearly everything
is included in the villa rate here (only lunches, dinners, drinks,
childcare services, spa treatments and petrol are charged for,
and that at cost). Kids will adore the Kemah Tinggi nannies, so
you really don’t have to bring your helper.
Special offer: Expat Living readers who book by Chinese
New Year will enjoy a 10 percent discount (terms and
conditions apply).
