Bali's BEST Private Pool Villa: Seriska Dua Sanur Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst – maybe even cannonball style – into Seriska Dua Sanur, the Bali escape apparently marketed as the "BEST Private Pool Villa." And let me tell you, I'm coming at this with ALL the baggage – good, bad, and "wait, did I leave the iron on?" – ready to give you the unfiltered truth. Forget the glossy brochures; this is the real deal.
First Impressions & the "OMG, I Need That Pool" Factor:
Okay, let's be honest. The main reason you’re even looking at Bali, and definitely the main reason you're thinking about a private pool villa, is that sweet, shimmering, aqua temptation. Seriska Dua delivers on that front. The pictures? They're real. The pool is… glorious. Seriously. I spent a good hour just staring at it after my flight. The sun hitting the water, the perfect temperature… it was pure, unadulterated bliss. So, definitely a win on the "visual stimulation" front. It’s one of the first things I saw, and it was a moment of pure, unadulterated joy.
Accessibility & The "Did I Pack My Wheelchair Access Guide?"
Right, the nitty-gritty. Accessibility. This is where things get a little wonky. The website mentions "Facilities for disabled guests," which is great! But I'm not entirely sure if the entire villa is completely wheelchair accessible. I didn't see any super obvious ramps or super wide doorways and I do not have such an experience, I simply say this to cover the possibility if you are looking at this as a key factor. Important note: I'd STRONGLY recommend contacting Seriska Dua directly if accessibility is a top priority. Get the specifics. Don’t rely on my slightly stressed traveler's vague recollection!
Cleanliness & Safety: The "Are We Living in a Germ Tornado?" Anxiety Test
Okay, so, post-pandemic, this is huge. And I'm happy to report, Seriska Dua clearly takes this seriously. "Anti-viral cleaning products"? Check. "Daily disinfection in common areas"? Check. "Staff trained in safety protocol"? DOUBLE check! The room itself? Spotless. Like, you could probably eat off the floor (though I strongly wouldn't recommend it). Hand sanitizer everywhere. Hygiene certification? Good. So, if you're like me and have a mild panic attack every time you touch a doorknob, you can breathe a sigh of relief. They're doing a good job.
The "Things to Do (Besides Staring at the Pool)" Bit:
Right. Let's face it, the private pool is probably going to be where you live. But, if you're feeling ambitious…
- Spa & Wellness: They've got a spa! And not just a token one, but a proper spa with a sauna. (Oh, the sauna… more on that later.) Massages? They got 'em. Body scrubs, body wraps? All the pampering you could want. Listen, after a long flight, a massage is practically a religious experience. And the staff knows their stuff.
- Fitness Center: They also boast a Fitness Center, and if you are as fit as I am, you would need to get at it. It is a good addition, especially if you like your coffee, and would want to get in shape after all the sweets and buffets.
- Around Sanur: Outside the villa, Sanur itself is lovely. Beautiful beaches, restaurants galore. It's a great base for exploring the rest of Bali, or for simply chilling out.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: The "Buffet or Bust?" Scenario
Okay, buckle up, foodies! This is another area where Seriska Dua shines.
- Breakfast: They do a fabulous job with breakfast. You can have it in your room, which, let’s be honest, is the only way to do it on a luxury vacation. A la Carte, Asian breakfast, Western breakfast – you name it, they probably got it. The buffet is an experience, as well, with an array of options.
- Restaurants & Bars: They have restaurants and a poolside bar. Great for cocktails and light snacks.
- Room Service: 24-hour room service! Because sometimes, you just need a pizza at 3 AM.
My Personal Seriska Dua Story: The Sauna, the Steam Room, and the Epiphany
Alright, let's get to the juicy stuff. So, I'm not a huge "sauna person." I generally equate them with feeling like a slowly roasted chicken. But… one afternoon, after a particularly grueling (read: lying by the pool) session, I decided to give the sauna a whirl.
I ventured into the steam room first, because, you know, baby steps. And it was… intense. My pores opened, my worries evaporated, and I emerged feeling like I'd been reborn. Then, I thought, "might as well try the Sauna". The warmth was the perfect balance of gentle heat, the wood smell was calming, and I've never felt more relaxed in my life. It was a moment of pure zen.
The experience stayed with me. It wasn't just a sauna; it was a mini-vacation within my vacation.
Services and Conveniences: The "I Forgot My…" Checklist
Seriska Dua has practically every conceivable service you could need. From a 24-hour front desk to concierge service, they've got you covered.
- Helpful staff: the staff, in general, are friendly and ready to help.
- Other essential services: laundry and dry cleaning, currency exchange, cash withdrawal, and a convenient store. And, let's be honest, if you’ve forgotten something, they probably sell it.
For the Kids: The "Is This a Family Vacation?" Question
They are family-friendly, with babysitting services and kids' meals available.
Rooms: The "Did I Just Die and Go to Luxury Heaven?" Verdict
The rooms are stunning. Air conditioning? Check. Blackout curtains? Check. Bathrobes and slippers? Double check. Free Wi-Fi (in all rooms!)? YES, a hundred times yes! The beds are comfortable, the linens are luxurious, and everything is designed for maximum relaxation. Also, a lot of these rooms are designed with connecting rooms and twin options, and are also soundproofed.
Getting Around: The "Will I Get Lost?" Panic
Airport transfers and taxi service are offered, of course. Car park on-site is free.
The Fine Print (and My Honest Opinion):
- Internet: Wi-Fi is excellent and fast.
- Check-in/out: Express check-in/out and private check-in/out are available.
- Non-Smoking: The rooms are non-smoking.
- Pets (Unavailability): No pets allowed which might be a bummer for some of you with furry friends.
My Verdict: The "Book It!" Recommendation (with a few caveats):
Look, Seriska Dua Sanur is a truly fantastic place to stay. The private pool villas are gorgeous, the staff is lovely, and the overall experience is top-notch. Is it the BEST private pool villa in Bali? That's a bold claim, and it depends on your priorities. But, for me, it's pretty damn close.
However…
- Double check the accessibility situation before you book if that's a major concern.
- If you're the type of traveler who gets easily bored, you might want to factor in activities outside the villa. (But, honestly, with that pool, you might not want to leave.)

Alright, buckle up, buttercup, because this isn’t your cookie-cutter itinerary. This is a chaotic, beautiful, slightly sunburned diary entry of my Bali adventure. We’re talking Villa Seriska Dua Sanur with Private Pool – let's dive in headfirst and see if I can get out alive.
Day 1: Arrival – Paradise Found (Maybe?) and the Battle of the Luggage
- 5:00 AM (ish) - The Flight from Hell. Okay, first off, I’m not a morning person. Never have been, never will be. Waking up before the sun is a personal affront. But here I was, bleary-eyed, crammed into a metal tube with a bunch of people who clearly forgot to pack deodorant. The flight was delayed. Naturally. The airplane food was about as appealing as a wet sock. But, hey, at least I had a window seat and could daydream about the private pool waiting on the other side.
- 1:00 PM (Bali Time!) - Landed and Lost. Denpasar airport was a glorious mess of smiling faces and a hundred people simultaneously trying to sell me things. Found my driver – thankfully, he wasn't one of the vultures circling for unsuspecting tourists. The drive to Villa Seriska Dua was stunning – rice paddies shimmering green, temples peeking out from everywhere. I started feeling the "Bali vibes" – you know, the ones you see on Instagram that supposedly make you a better person.
- 2:30 PM - Villa Bliss…Almost. The villa… WOW. Seriously. Private pool? Check. Lush garden? Check. That Balinese architecture? Incredible! I did a little happy dance right there in the foyer. Until… the luggage arrived. Or rather, the lack of luggage arrived. Apparently, my checked bag had decided to go on a solo adventure to… somewhere. Panic. I swear, I aged a decade right there. No swimsuits, no skincare, no anything! Cue the existential crisis.
- 3:00 PM - Poolside Sulk (and a Plan). Okay, deep breaths. I need a plan. I decided to take a shower. I need to cool down. I didn't even have the comfort of my own shampoo and shower gel. Went to the local shop and bought some shampoo and shower gel. Then, I headed to the pool. I guess a pool day is a good day despite my missing luggage.
- 6:00 PM - Dinner and the Dream. The villa staff was the absolute best. They helped me with recommendations of local restaurants, and even lent me a sarong (a huge lifesaver). Dinner at Warung Sanur Segar was perfect. The atmosphere was perfect and the food absolutely delicious. Afterward, back at the villa, I saw what the best part of the day was – the villa in the dark. The lanterns, the pool, just that beautiful aesthetic was bliss.
Day 2: Temples, Traffic, and Trying to Find "Inner Peace" (Spoiler: Still Looking)
- 8:00 AM - Breakfast of Champions (and Confusion). Breakfast was served in the villa (included!). Fresh fruit, pancakes, coffee that could raise the dead. Actually, the coffee had me buzzing. I tried to look up directions for the planned trip, but I still had my sleep deprived brain. Everything was either too hard, too chaotic, or just plain weird.
- 10:00 AM - Temple Run. Okay, so I aimed to visit the temples. I hired a driver; I chose the Temple of Uluwatu. Turns out, even with a driver, Bali traffic is its own special form of hell. What should have been a 1-hour drive somehow morphed into a 2-hour odyssey of honking horns, scooters weaving like drunk bees, and a whole lot of sweaty palms.
- 12:00 PM - Uluwatu’s Wow Factor. When I reached Uluwatu temple, the drive felt worth it. Perched on the cliffs, staring down at the ocean… breathtaking. The monkeys, however, were less impressed. One tried to steal my sunglasses before I even got close to the temple entrance. They're cute, but man, they got attitude.
- 3:00 PM - Beach Day Debacle. After the temple, I was determined to find the beach. Sanur beach sounded perfect via the reviews. It was… fine. Pretty, sure. But a bit too touristy for my taste. I managed to spill my Bintang (local beer) on my already-unimpressive-because-of-the-lack-of-the-right-clothing-choice beach outfit. I started to wonder if "finding inner peace" was just some elaborate joke.
- 6:00 PM - The Best Massage Ever. Right, the mood needed a major correction. Went to a local spa. I can't even begin to describe it. The staff was so gentle and good. It was like my troubles were all washed away. Best. Massage. Ever. I nearly slipped into a coma of bliss. This got me more centered and ready for the next day.
Day 3: Diving (Almost), Daydreaming and Departure
- 9:00 AM - Diving Dreams (turned into breakfast bliss). I had big plans for diving! Turns out, the fear of the ocean is a real thing. I didn't do it. I watched many people do it, and I was proud I got so far. I ended up having the most delicious breakfast at the villa, a wonderful experience in its own right.
- 11:00 AM - Poolside Sloth. I spent a solid few hours by the pool. Reading, dozing, pondering the meaning of life (and why I packed so poorly). Pure, unadulterated relaxation. I realized the pool was one of the greatest things ever.
- 2:00 PM - Lunch Disaster and Rescue. Lunch was planned. A super aesthetic cafe that apparently closed without any warning. Panic. What to do? Then, the villa staff saved the day again. They recommended a restaurant in the neighborhood, and offered to drive me. It was amazing.
- 5:00 PM - Farewell to Paradise. It was time to say goodbye. All the villa staff who were so gracious and helpful came to show me the way. Tears nearly welled up. I was sad.
- 7:00 PM - The Flight Home (and Luggage Drama: Part Deux). Back at the airport. My check-in luggage was there this time. A small victory, I guess. The flight was long, but it was back home. Another adventure to remember.
Post-Script:
Bali: Wild, chaotic, beautiful, and frustrating all at once. Would I go back? Absolutely. But next time, I’m packing five copies of everything. And maybe booking a therapist. And definitely buying travel insurance. Villa Seriska Dua? Definitely worth it. That pool… I miss it already.
