Stay & Experiences

Villa Cendrawasih’s chef is at your service to prepare daily breakfast, lunch and dinner. The villa offers an extensive suggestion menu of delicious meals featuring Asian and Western dishes to cater to all tastes, including an excellent selection of vegetarian and children’s options.

Our chef previously worked at La Lucciola — one of Bali’s most celebrated Italian restaurants – and cooks up excellent pasta dishes, and is equally adept at blending an aromatic Thai curry and making traditional Balinese desserts such as dadar— pancakes filled with coconut and palm sugar. He can also grill up a feast of fresh seafood on the barbecue, prepare decadent set menus and poolside snacks and tailor meals to accommodate any special dietary requirements or specific requests.

Groceries and beverages are charged at cost price plus 20%++ handling fee. Guests will be requested to provide grocery money in advance, and the staff will do the shopping and keep the receipts for reference. To make the most of the kitchen and give staff time to shop, it is a good idea to plan meals the evening before.

The family friendly advantages of a villa holiday are many, including access to your own private facilities and the freedom to use them whenever you want. Knowing that the kids can run around happily, independently and safely, without you having to worry about other guests, is a real plus — and one that means parents are certain to have a more relaxed holiday too.

Villa Cendrawasih is a great villa for families with children, who will love the lawns and swimming pool and easy access to the beach (make sure to always swim between the flags as currents can be strong). Those with toddlers may wish to request the instillation of a pool fence (charges apply).

The team of friendly staff will make children feel as welcome as adults, and having these willing helpers on hand gives guests plenty of flexibility and freedom to do their own exploring beyond the villa grounds (full-time babysitting incurs a small extra cost).

Although the equipped kitchen allows you to prepare meals for fussy eaters or babies with ease, staff will happily to do this for you — just talk through your requirements and meal schedules with the villa manager or chef and they will take care of the rest. Pancakes by the pool for breakfast? Chicken nuggets for tea? No problem. The chef can customise all meals to suit children’s taste buds.

Don’t worry about packing all that cumbersome kids’ equipment for your stay. Just let us know what you need, and anything we don’t have in-house (villa facilities include a baby cot, highchair and kids movies) we can hire on your behalf (click here to see list of available hire items).
