The Layar is a spectacular design-led villa resort in the heart of chic Seminyak, moments from Bali’s best restaurants, boutiques and sunset beach bars. Cutting-edge contemporary architecture and ultra-chic interiors characterise the 23 villas, which offer stunning living spaces accentuated by the architects’ signature sloping roofs. Each individual villa is set within a private landscaped garden with a large swimming pool, and from one to four spacious bedroom suites oriented for privacy.

With its cool design, hot location, and five-star service provided by staff, The Layar is designed for those with strong aesthetic principles seeking original experiences.

Guests at The Layar can enjoy delicious food all day long, with a breakfast menu available from 7am to 11am and an extensive in-villa menu available from 11am to 10pm. Guests also have the option of engaging a private chef who will design a special menu for them to enjoy ‘at home’ in the villa.

Combining traditional Italian flavours with a modern attitude means the freshest ingredients are brought to the table; skillfully prepared and beautifully presented by an Italian chef-led team. Settimo Cielo assimilates the very best of contemporary Italian dining with wonderful rustic style and flavours. Lunch at Settimo Cielo offers taste bud tantalising choices.

Bali’s best-known restaurants are all within easy walking distance, as are boutiques, galleries, gourmet shops and homeware stores. Mere moments away is the sweep of the black-sand Petitenget Beach, famed for its surf breaks and sunset bars, and Canggu, where one can find a collection of casual cafés, trendy bars and a myriad of dining options.
