These villas are quite a cut above the rest – literally! From Bali to Sri Lanka and from Phuket to Morocco, take a look at these 10 villas with a stunning rooftop terrace.
1. Villa Savasana
3 Bedrooms
Canggu, Bali
We love this three-storey villa from top to bottom. The interiors are light and modern, but what really adds the wow factor is the rooftop terrace waiting on the stop floor. Decorated with the villa’s signature light hues, the terrace adds a bohemian touch with wicker furnishings – oh, and did we mention the views? From these heights, views look over neighbouring rooftops and out to the ocean. Needless to say, you can also reach the beach in a minute’s stroll.
2. The Nine Mirissa
7 Bedrooms
Mirissa, Sri Lanka
The Nine Mirissa is a palatial villa – the swanky rooftop terrace is literally the icing on top. Built on a cascading hillside in the beautiful region of Mirissa in Sri Lanka, the villa features multiple terraces and balconies for guests to choose from. The villa features a huge, lawn-covered terrace as well as a spacious terrace furnished with plush sofas. The topmost bedroom is even fronted by its own balcony, perfect for sun bathing in private. We wouldn’t mind sipping a cool drink while looking at those views!
3. Villa Enjoy
5 Bedrooms

The aptly named Villa Enjoy offers the ultimate for living life to the fullest and living out your wildest holiday dreams. Besides the expansive lawns, 18-metre long pool and fun-filled interiors, the villa features a fabulous rooftop lounge.

As the cherry on top, the terrace offers marvellous views overlooking Phuket island and out to the ocean.
4. Villa Yenmoz
4 Bedrooms
Marrakesh, Morocco
Villa Yenmoz offers one of the dreamiest rooftop settings one could imagine. Built atop this beautiful Moroccan villa, the rooftop terrace captures the feel of Marrakesh with its earthy colour palette and panoramic views looking over the villa’s palm tree dotted garden and the desert beyond. We love the shade created by the canopy and the shapes it creates on the balcony below. For more of the same, check out our favourite villas incorporating Moroccan design.
5. 353 Degrees North

Nusa Lembongan, Bali
Lounging on the rooftop of 353 Degrees North in Nusa Lembongan feels like leaving the world far below and enjoying a stint up in the clouds.
