If you seek the essence of Bali beachfront tropical luxury, this is it. Villa Melissa has 30 metres of beach frontage, and three of its five bedrooms have expansive and unimpeded sea views. Nowhere in Bali is more beachfront than this. Gifted French designers Gaelle Echene and Charles Pelletier have created a unique ambience that combines beachcomber insouciance with utter luxury – living areas are beautifully sited to the beach, the sea and the sky. There really is room to move and to breath in the sea air, for Villa Melissa is truly expansive. Floor space over two levels is more than 800 square metres, and the garden and pool are a vast 2500 square metres.

Garden & Pool

Villa Melissa sits on 2500 square metres of Bali beachfront land planted in lush tropical vegetation and gently swaying palms.

There are 30 metres of beachfront, so you literally step off your front lawn on to the sand. The two pools are extensive in scope too. The main infinity pool measures 20 x 5 metres for a total of 100 square metres.

The smaller 40 square metres pool, with a maximum depth of 140 centimetres, is great for children, but also fun for adults to splash around in too.
