The Cotton House

Seminyak, Bali

“The most stunning villa – we were incredibly impressed from the minute we walked in. Perfect for a large group, extended family etc. We were 3 families travelling together and we got to enjoy each other’s company and could also retreat to our own area if desired.

The villa is incredibly spacious – from the huge grassed area, amazing pool, fantastic communal living and dining space. Every bedroom is spacious, well appointed and has an ensuite – some more palatial than others, but honestly it didn’t matter as everything felt spacious and luxurious.

The staff were attentive and fantastic, without being overbearing. Ketut the chef – just so easy to deal with, accommodated our every request. Our Villa Manager Olive – booked us activities, was on hand if we needed something urgently.

We really could not fault Cotton House and also Ministry of Villas as the agent was sensational – so easy to book with and organise everything with pre-arrival. We will always book with Ministry of Villas, after a booking directly with a villa two years ago was met with disaster.”

Ban Lealay

Bophut, Koh Samui

“We stayed at Baan Laelay for a full week as a family and had a fantastic time! The villa had everything we could have needed, and the food that Beer (the cook) and his wife Pla cooked for us was so delicious we hardly ate out at all! We cannot recommend Ministry of Villas highly enough…their service from start finish was impeccable!”

Villa Alamanda

Nusa Dua, Bali

“Hello Ministry team,

My family and I wanted to thank you very much for your amazing service in arranging the accommodation and transfers for our recent Bali holiday. For a family that had never been to Bali, it was a huge help to know everything was booked for us!!

The accommodation was AMAZING and we absolutely loved your service. Thank you in particular for being able to speak with Sara at the start of our booking and receiving a call from Alistair prior to confirming, to talk through all of my many queries!!!

We cant wait to book the next one!”

– Linley

Mandala The Bay

Nusa Lembongan, Bali

“Wonderful Villa with stunning views , so private and perfect for a group. Villa host was so helpful and the staff were lovely. A microwave would have been helpful as were stayed with young children but other than that 5 stars all round. We will definitely book with Ministry of Villas again.”

– Meka

Saba Villas Bali

Canggu, Bali

“Thanks for all your help in organising! You have been great. You came up in my google searches for Bali villas, and I thought using an agency would cut out some of the ground work for me. I’ve since recommended you on Facebook – there was a thread in the Bondi mothers group (>1700 members) asking for Bali recommendations, and I’ve put you down as a contact.”

“Thanks again for your assistance in booking our perfect getaway and we’ll be sure to recommend you to others travelling to Bali.”

– Tamera

Villa Meliya

Umalas, Bali

“Due to Covid restrictions, availability clashes and the Bali economy our stay at Villa Meliya had a long and bit complicated set of discussions/negotiations with Ministry of Villas. We got to know each other well. And one can only be impressed by the professional and equitable manner with which they handled our oft moved/deferred booking. And in the end came up with a sensible and equitable solution that was a credit to them and acceptable to us.

By any criteria Ministry of Villas did an excellent job. Both for us and the owners. I have always been impressed with them and must rate their performance on this booking as excellent.

And not just the their pre-arrival performance. On site Novi and Maddy, our driver, were a great. I have no hesitation in recommending their service package to anyone.

With respect to Villa Meliya it was everything that they promised. Very true to description. In fact it was more as Esta, the Manager, and his team were ever helpful. Nothing seemed too much effort. Which given the very unseasonable rain and impossible traffic, was quite a degree at times. Again I would have no hesitation recommending Villa Meliya. It is good, in excellent condition and well looked after. With very good management and staff. All of which made more than the normal difference given the weather. With the heavy and consistent rain it would have been easy for things to go pear shape.

In the end we all had a great time and were appreciative of both the Ministry of Villas and Villa Meliya. So if you are going to Bali remember them and hope for plenty of sun. Or if no sun you can still have a great time. I guess that is Bali. BHB”

Suma Villa

Laem Sor, Koh Samui

“My family had a most memorable and enjoyable stay at Villa Suma. The villa staff were very friendly, helpful and their service impeccable. Ministry of Villas was also very helpful throughout the booking and arrival process. A most wonderful holiday for my whole family!!”

Villa Tiga Puluh

Seminyak, Bali

“We were looking for a really special place to celebrate our 40th anniversary with friends. The staff at Ministry of Villas and those at the villa itself made it the most seamless, luxurious, ideal holiday. No request was too much for them. The in-villa food was restaurant quality. The rooms were beautifully furnished and very clean. Special mention to Meigi who manages the property and has done such a good job of ensuring the perfect experience for the guests. Stayed August 2022.”

– Radha

Villa Hermosa

Seminyak, Bali

“I had a family and friends to organise a villa for and came across Ministry of Villas. They found me Villa Hermosa which is perfect if you have a large and indecisive group. The villa has 5 bedrooms and comes with a chef, which is amazing after always staying in hotels in Bali. I love it and will return.”

– Sarah

Impiana Cemagi

Cemagi, Bali

“50th Birthday 5 day stay with best friends and their adult kids at Villa Ombak Laut. Although I stayed at next doors Villa Ombak Laut (now named Impiana) my 50th birthday celebrations were at Villa Semarapura. Had planned this birthday for a year with friends also staying at neighboring villas. Simply superb. Exceeded all expectations.

Welcome cocktail evening with all guests (31) brilliant. Food exceptional. Veby, Putu and all staff just absolutely amazing. No request too difficult. Changing money for me. Ducking out to top up drinks or food when needed. Accommodations superb. Even the weather was kind on most days. Wish I could turn 50 again and relive the experience over and over again. Ministry of Villas, came to the rescue over 12 months ago when I was trying to find the right villas for 30+ people.

Lola, you are a star. Thanks for everything. Concierge, Munir. 80+ emails in the last few weeks organizing it all between 3 villa managers. You nailed it. Cannot thank you enough and will be promoting Ministry of Villas every chance I get. Thank you all for making an old boys birthday the best it could ever be :-)”

– Brad

Dea Villas

Canggu, Bali

“Absolutely Breathtaking!!!! Dea Villas is beautiful, when you arrive the amazing staff are there to welcome you!! The Villa complex is made up of 4 large villas and 12 bedrooms, perfect for large groups as it still gives you plenty of space and privacy. The staff were so lovely nothing was a problem. I would recommend this villa to anyone. Booking through Ministry of Villas was a seamless process, very knowledgeable and quick to reply. Can’t wait to book our next Bali adventure through you.”

– Jody

Suar Villas

Seminyak, Bali

“The highlight of our experience at Villa Suar was the service. The staff were delightful! They went above and beyond to make our stay an enjoyable one. The villa itself was also amazing, and the location was great. Would highly recommend! Thank you also to Ministry of Villas for coordinating our stay and our airport transfers.”

– Cassandra

“Thank you Yasmin so much for your recent help finding us a villa in Bali. It was amazing and you and team so professional and helpful.”

– Rayann

Villa Anam

Seminyak, Bali

“As soon as I got in touch w Sara from a Ministry of Villas – I knew my 40th birthday celebrations with friends and family was in safe hands! She listened to everything I had in mind, and like a magician – turned my every dream into a reality!

The service per the video by MoV was fantastic! From that first call right up to my departure re from the villas everything was exactly as we had discussed – no detail was left unattended to! Sara and her fabulous team were simply spectacular!

As we were 39 people, we took two villas recommended by them : Villa Anam and Villa Tangram and the location and staff were top notch! Thank you for taking my every thought and idea into a reality that far exceeded my expectations! Thank you for the peace of mind you provided to me every step of the way! Thank you to Pak Yoman and his team at the Villas!

Moving forward I would only use MoV to book my trips! And if coming in with a large group of people… it would have to be Anam!! You allowed me to have an epic and magical birthday celebration! ❤️”

Panorama Niseko

Hirafu, Niseko

“This is the second time we’ve been to Niseko and we loved it. We were a group of 9, but the house could easily sleep 12. The house is very spacious, has a big kitchen and huge drying room for all your snow gear. We booked through ministry of villas and Nila was a huge help. She made organising our holiday easy, convenient and stress free. She was always very informative, friendly and responded quickly to emails. Would highly recommend booking through Powderlife / Ministry of Villas!”

– Janet

Villa Bogor

Canggu, Bali

“My name is Becky and I’ve been a travel advisor and business manager for over 20 years – based in Adelaide, Australia. I have been working with Sara and her team at Ministry of Villas for well over 10 years now and have found them to be excellent in all regards.

From first contact (via email for me usually) to working through the myriad of choices of villas depending on the requirements of my clients to the actual stay and experience for the guests – the process has always been seamless and the turnaround time on quote requests and/or requested communication, are always super-efficient

MOVillas offer an excellent selection of villas and the team keeps updated with their product so I can be confident that my clients have the best experience possible.

I have even used MOV for my own significant birthday getaway pre Covid – I could have possibly been the most challenging (and fussy) client they have worked with, but nothing was too much trouble, from finding the right villa to the last breakfast before flying home.

I look forward to working with Sara and the team at MOV for many years to come.”

The Bli Bli Villas

Seminyak, Bali

“My husband and I recently stayed 3 nights at the Bli Bli Villas and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our gorgeous one bedroom villa met all our expectations. It was very spacious, the pool enjoyed full sun for most of the day, a lovely lush garden and grassed area. The room was beautifully lit in the evening and we enjoyed spending most of our stay outdoors. The villa was in a nice area, just far enough away to be very quiet, though not too far from our favourite restaurants.

I have used the services of Ministry of Villas once before and have recommended them to family and friends. On both occasions they provided options that have suited our villa requirements and fitted in with our budget.

“We love Bali and will return again and again and will definitely book through Ministry of Villas again.”

– Sharyn

Nyaman Villas

Seminyak, Bali

“Making the booking though Ministry of Villas was a fast and easy process. We booked the villa ‘Nyaman villas’.

It was everything we expected and even better then the photos shown on the Ministry of Villas Facebook and website and with a cheaper price than other Villa sites. Once we arrived and had checked in a consultant from Ministry of villas came with a small care package to check how everything went which was very thoughtful. We will use them again for sure.”

– Lucy

“Nyaman Villas was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend it. Completely exceeded my expectations when booking a family holiday for 17 people and would stay again in a heartbeat. Nyaman Villas was in a great location. The villa was easily accessible to the Main Street in Seminyak which had multiple and endless choices to eat at. Was in close proximity to popular beach clubs Kudeta and Potato Head as well. The villa was so quiet at night and far enough away from Bali nightlife. Perfect mix of both!

The villa was breathtaking. We stayed in the 4 bedroom villas and the rooms were spacious and luxurious. The outdoor bathrooms were incredible and the pools were immaculately kept. Most importantly the Nyaman Staff were absolutely fantastic. The service was quick and all staff went out of their way to make our stay special. Shoutout to Yogi, Ketut and Rudi… they were absolutely fantastic! The buffet breakfast was fresh and the cooks were fantastic and happy to accommodate to any extra dietary requirements.

Thank you to Ministry of Villas for making it so easy to book our trip. It went so fast and we will definitely be back. Absolutely incredible and wish we could have stayed longer!”

Villa Bianca

Natai, Phang Nga

“The villa was amazing, so luxurious and the service was the best .. definitely not my last time and Ministry of Villas are so professional, sweet and they gave us the best price .. so much better than the other agencies – *redacted* were so rude and they gave us a much more expensive price for the same villa. Thank you so much Ministry of Villas you are the best”

– Bedoor

Villa Naty

Umalas, Bali

“Villa Naty – hard to describe the experience but in one word “AWESOME”. Would definitely recommend this Villa. Staff are very attentive, friendly and assist in any way possible. Thank you Ministry of Villas, the experience was amazing.”

– Sandra

On The Rocks

Unawatuna, Sri Lanka

“8 of us (including three children) stayed for two weeks in the main house. It is a stunning property. I’d love to call it a home from home but our home is nothing like as lovely. Also at home we don’t have staff to cook delicious food and make everything look tidy and lovely in a very unobtrusive and genuinely relaxing way. We originally booked it during the pandemic and then along came the riots in Sri Lanka so the British Foreign Office told us we couldn’t go.

Ministry of Villas displayed such decency and integrity in our dealings with them on these postponements at what must have been a difficult time so I also wanted to thank them for that. Thank you!”

– Alexander

Villa Abakoi

Seminyak, Bali

“Villa Abakoi, the staff and the Ministry of Villas staff are AMAZING. Elisa the villa specialist was extremely helpful in securing us the perfect villa. The pre arrival concierge service were above and beyond helpful and extremely professional. And then we arrived in heaven.

The villa is immaculate and is decked out with everything you could possibly need. Plenty of room to socialise, relax or escape. Location is central but far enough away from the action to be quiet. The staff were so caring and obliging and there to assist with anything. We always received a warm welcome when we returned from our travels and they always seemed to know just what we wanted be it a Gin and Tonic or one of their sensational coffees. Their service was always so personal. Breakfasts were to die for and pool snacks were delicious.

We will not look elsewhere for a Villa except thru the Ministry of Villas. We were so grateful to have had this special experience.”

– Ali

Chimera Villas

Seminyak, Bali

“We returned from Bali earlier this morning. I can’t thank you enough for recommending Villa Chimera. It was magnificent!

The staff were tremendous. They were prefect. Breakfast was superb and the standard of the property was exceptional. Harry loved the pool. When we are next in Bali, we will certainly contact you again. Best wishes for 2014.”

– Steve

Villa Jabali

Seminyak, Bali

“We stayed at Villa Jabali over Christmas with our extended family. It was amazing! We were so nervous that it wouldn’t be as presented online but it was all that and more. It was beautiful but what made the stay extra special for us was the fantastic staff. They were just awesome. Nothing was too much trouble and they were just so friendly and accommodating. We were really sad to move on to the next villa and would have extended our stay if we could have!

Highly recommend Ministry of Villas and Villa Jabali.”

– Nicole

Koh Koon

Chaweng, Koh Samui

“We visited Koh Koon for two blissful weeks to celebrate a family birthday (big one!). Our group of eleven, made up of four teens and seven adults loved everything about the villa. We were blown away when we arrived – the sense of space is hard to capture in photos. And it’s designed by an architect so lots of wonderful details and if you, like me, love rocks then you will be in awe.

The location, at the top of a hill makes for incredible views from everywhere. We enjoyed everything available – pool(s), we played pool, old school video game, boules, big movie screen and the gym was an excellent resource to keep us in check. Teens loved it. Lots of different areas to recline – sunken lounge near the pool was awesome, as was eating lunch every day outside under another pool villa. Birds, dragon flies kept us mesmerised as we sat poolside looking out over the infinity pool to the ocean. Heaven.

The villa itself is fabulous, the separate rooms/cabins for everyone was perfect to allow everyone to have their own spaces. The highlight though was the team at Koh Koon, lead by the manager, Praew. Incredible people!!!! Chef was excellent, we had two meals outside of the villa but quickly realised there was no better food on the island – so we tasted an incredible amount of Thai cuisine through his wonderful work. We were looked after so well and this allowed our family to have a super chilled, relaxing holiday – an amazing experience. We can’t thank the team at the villa enough!!!!!

The Ministry of Villas team were also excellent – we were well communicated with and everything was super clear. We are now just working out how we can book another holiday – as it was truly fabulous. Thank you to the team at the Ministry of Villas and everyone at Koh Koon. YOU ROCK!!!! xoxoxoxoxo”

Coco Villa

Seminyak, Bali

“Ministry of Villas Whilst trying to find that “Special Place” to vacation with my family I became very paranoid about booking online and the amount of fraud that occurs when booking yourself. I had contacted several Villa Rental companies and didn’t feel comfortable until I found the Ministry and from the first phone call they made me feel more at ease. I even received a phone call from Alastair Loxton (CEO) to alleviate my worries which I thought was exceptional customer service.

I HIGHLY recommend these guys and have passed their details onto all my friends and colleagues.. I couldn’t have wished for a better family vacation. Thank you to all the staff at Ministry of Villas Melissa Butler.”
