Neighbourhood highlights

WINING and DINING

Mendira Village is just 5 km west of Candi Dasa, where you'll find delightful restaurants, some with excellent international cuisine - some will send a free car to collect you - just ask our staff to call the restaurant for you.
Mendira Village has several excellent seaside 'warungs', or local restaurants with delicious food from $4 a dish - all within easy walking distance of the villa.
Villa Nilaya features an extensive menu with authentic Balinese flavours, and the services of the chef are included in the villa price, so you only pay for the meals you order (prices are on par with those in the local warungs).
You can pre-order a meal to be ready upon your arrival and we have a good wine list, from which you can pre-order prior to your arrival if you wish.

ABOUT OUR VILLAGE of MENDIRA - THINGS TO DO

Mendira is welcoming and friendly, maintaining traditional Hindu culture and traditions

You don't need to travel for great SNORKELING - it's right at the front of the villa, and the dive wrecks of Tulamben make a great day trip.
We can help you organise snorkeling gear.
If deeper sea DIVING or PADI courses are your thing, we can assist you with recommended Dive Masters who will pick you up and tailor the diving to your wishes and ability.

Marvel at the spectacle of Mt Agung viewed from the sea - take a BOAT TRIP on a local fishing vessel - they will come in and collect you directly from the shore in front of the villa. Take a picnic basket, or set off for a day on the 'white sand beach' and enjoy BBQ fish!

EXPLORE EAST BALI

Mendira is an excellent base from which to explore Central and Eastern Bali - regions of astounding beauty and cultural authenticity. Check my travel blogs for more detail and inspiration!

DO NOTHNG AT ALL!

This is what Villa Nilaya was designed for .... do you know the Spanish saying:
" How wonderful it is to do nothing, and then relax afterwards" ? .....

My work: Travel is my business. Hospitality, my passion.
Speaks Italian
Creating warm, welcoming, functional and pleasantly surprising environments and experiences for others is at the heart of all I do. Travel, art, textiles, yoga and tango - all passions which fire my imagination and life. An art gallerist for many years, I travelled and collected extensively - the creative impulse to adorn reflected in my homes in Perth and Bali (both Airbnb properties). As a professional traveller since 2014, I live, work and sometimes study in unusual and beautiful places, getting to know them intimately, ultimately sharing the experience with others in the small group tours and art retreats that I design and accompany. 'Spice Voyages' currently brings adventurous travellers to Morocco and Sri Lanka, where I've been living for the last 2 years. Ethiopia and India have been previous destinations. 'Creative Living Retreats' brings together professional artist teachers and yogis for week-long Art and Yoga retreats in Bali and Sri Lanka.
