Bali Luxury One Bedroom with Modern Design and Ocean Views

Sometimes you arrive somewhere and almost forget why you came, just for a minute, because everything feels right. That was me at this one bedroom villa at Amali Residences in Bali, and honestly I ended up just standing for a while on the balcony looking out at the ocean. There is something about the sound of the waves down below and the way the breeze comes up from Impossibles beach that makes it hard to think about emails or anything that's not right there in the moment. You can kind of slow down and just be.

You walk in and the light just fills the space. The ceilings are really high so it feels bigger than you think, and the windows face right out to the sea. I noticed the textures straight away. The walls and floors are done in this white washed stone and the furniture has these earthy tones. There is teak wood everywhere but it feels modern not heavy. There are small touches that actually remind you this is Bali, not just any luxury home anywhere. The ceramics on the shelves are made by local artisans and the odd piece of palimanan stone shows up just where you'd least expect it. And even with all the style it somehow still seems like a place where you could just flop on the sofa with sandy feet and not worry.

This is all on Bali's southern peninsula in Uluwatu, which if you know, you know is where the best beaches are. Amali Residences looks right over Bingin and Impossibles beaches which are these long stretches of sand with surf that locals talk about like old friends. Sometimes you see a couple kids with surfboards heading down at sunrise. Sometimes it's just the birds early in the morning and the quiet, which is a kind of magic you do not get in most resorts. If you wake up early you can see the sky turn soft pinks and oranges over the ocean. By the time you're having coffee it feels like you've already started your day with something special.

Living here feels like a good mix of private and connected. You have a proper health and wellness centre with gym and spa so you do not need to leave if you do not want to. The concierge is one of those people who just seems to know what you need before you ask, and if you have any work to do there's actually a business centre with private offices. I did not see any laptops on my visit, but you could picture settling in there for a few hours if you want that work life blend. And food is really something here. Amali has its own restaurant and bar. Some residents were just ordering food and drinks by the pool and some up in their lofts. It is the sort of setup that feels easy rather than formal.

You are also close to the best beach clubs in Uluwatu so if you like sunset drinks or want to explore, there's more to do. The local cafes are worth a morning walk. You will bump into neighbours there or maybe stop in at a fashion boutique where the owner may well remember your name. Even with all the newness and luxury, Uluwatu still feels true to the old Bali—there is real culture here, those temples on the water with incense drifting in the air just as the sun goes down. It gives a different energy you will not find anywhere else.

If you are thinking about this from an investment side as well, the developer is pretty smart about it. There is a rental pool, so if you are not in Bali for a while your villa does not just sit empty and you get a bit of income. It suits both investors and the daydreamers who just want a place to actually live or escape.

So that is what life is like at Amali Residences. It is not a place that tries too hard, it is just easy and natural and genuinely comfortable. If you want to see how it really feels, just reach out. We are always happy to talk or show you around at LuxuryProperty.com. The only way to know if a place is right for you is to actually be there, so if you ever wonder or have questions just let me know.
