Besotted – Dreamy Beach House in Seminyak, Bali

The year-end holidays are beckoning, and if you’ve got kids and travel with them like I do, this is the time to plan your great escapes. And as all fabulicious moms know, just because you want kid-friendly – or shall I say, parent friendly – doesn’t mean you have to go down market.

Lust after The Beach House at The Legian in Bali! Located in shop-til-you-drop Seminyak, The Beach House - a private holiday villa - sits on a stretch of Seminyak Beach where you can soak in Indian Ocean sunsets while you float about in the 16-metre infinity pool. Kick back with a good book in the outdoor balé pavilions and sip on cocktails served by 24 hour personal butlers. If you feel like heading out, just jump into your chauffeur-driven private car and trawl the wondrous shops along Seminyak for gorgeous household items and beaded evening dresses, then come back for a meal prepared by your personal chef! Three gorgeous bedrooms can accommodate a party of 6-8 holiday makers, and spread the price of US$2700 a night. (No one said it was cheap!)

Need to be wired? There’s a personal laptop and wireless broadband, plus the usual high end techno-expectations like HD LCD TV, DVD player and audio system with an iPod dock and portable Sony PlayStation. You can also make use of all facilities at The Legian resort too, including The Spa at The Legian. Now that’s what I call a dreamy holiday!
