Beautiful retreat away from the tourist crowd
As we knew that northern Bali is not as developed as the overcrowded South, we rented a car and drove from Sanur to Seririt. The villa is challenging to find even with Google maps, but once you are there you will not regret it. It's a real gem and worth the trip. Our three children spent most of the days in the pool which is surrounded by trees and therefore even has some shade which is quite useful in the hot hours of the day. The staff takes good care of the house and is prepared to help and serve you. We enjoyed every morning a tasty breakfast with fruit and eggs according to our needs. In addition, Ketut and her helper prepared tasty dinners (and/or lunches, if you can eat that much) for about one third to half of the costs of a regular beachside restaurant. Ketut also helped us to attend the Fourth Full Moon ceremony and we managed to get a glimpse of hinduist religion and village life. There are nice places in the surroundings, such as Nalika restaurant on the Umeanyar beach (7 min. by car) or Permuteran with its organised diving and snorkeling tours to Menjangan island (40. min.), but you need your own car or hire a driver to get around. Overall, however, the beaches are not very clean and one has to chose well where to go. Overall, Villa Ananda is definitely a good choice and we do not regret that we went there.
