Record breaking tourist arrivals to Bali during the first half of 2008 brings significant impact to tourism industry. Hotel occupancy rate soars up closer to full as well as private villas, the new trend in holiday accommodation. Actually the potential boom after slow period following two consecutive terror attacks has been predicted long before. Many investors as well as casual holiday makers invested in building private villas. In addition to rich holiday makers intending to setup their own holiday home in the island, a number of fully-managed private villa complexes dedicated for holiday accommodation are were also coming up.

The trendy tourists enclave of Seminyak remains the most sought after area. Seminyak villas are among the most popular luxury holiday accommodation options. However, growing up to a busier township, most villas in the area are rather small, maximizing utilization of limited plot of land for private living comfort. Seeking for spaciousness and views, outer areas become the next options. The greater south of Bali including Jimbaran Bay, Bukit Hill, and Ungasan Cliff Top are among the areas where large private villas offering ample plot of land and breath-taking ocean views located.

Bumpy ride from the airport paid off when you get to the villas. Large plot of land, spacious airy house, infinity private pool, and 180 degrees of stunning views are there to become your home attributes during your holiday. In most of the cases, a stroll or short drive down will bring you to secluded white-sandy beaches, some only reachable on foot. The surf-break in the area are considered among the best in the world and frequently host international surfing competition.

The administrator of balicare.org, a privately managed blog dedicated to showcase the owner’s intention to both promote and preserve Bali at the same time, was quite right with his voice written on Bali villas for your holiday.

Private Leisure International, Bali based leading holiday rental agencies with portfolio spreading in Bali, Lombok, Phuket, Koh Samui, and Koh Phangan announced Bali Organizer, its new subsidiary focusing in wedding organization in Bali. “Large villas with breath-taking views are getting more popular as a wedding venue as well as other events”, said Wisna Wedhana, the Managing Director of Private Leisure International.

Whilst almost every villa management demands their clients to hire local wedding organizer, most of available wedding organizers in Bali work on packaged services which are more suitable for those with budget constrains. Bringing the corporate vision in offering privacy as the ultimate measure of luxury, Bali Organizer offers a different approach.

Everybody have their own dream about their wedding day, which mostly have been built back from their childhood. “It is ridiculous to force the couple to customize their dreams to fit offered packages, our business is to tailor made our services to suit those very personal wishes”, said Veronica Wijono the appointed General Manager of Bali Organizer. “It is all about making their dreams come true, and has nothing to do with budget”, she continued.

In addition to weddings, Bali Organizer also manages other personal events like parties as well as corporate events which now is popular as MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions). “We are convinced that Veronica’s service orientated personality, experience, and network will allow us to bring the best service for our clients”, Wisna said when she announced Veronica’s appointment as Bali Organizer’s GM.

It has been quite a while ago, just haven’t had a chance to update. Held at The Sol at Echo Beach, Canggu. Comfortable place, excellent management, honest food - delicious staffs, and as always in Canggu, spectacular sunset vistas. Thanks for the warm friendship guys.

Following refinement into our overall strategy including elaboration of our core business line, we proudly present our new corporate identity which include new logo and tag-line. The logo define privacy as the main keyword. We avoid to have an expression about luxury in a glamorous sense, as the only luxury we endorse is ultimate privacy. Translated into accommodation as an example, the bed sheet can be in either luxurious Thai silk or modest cotton, but clients will have the whole house, the villa, for their sole disposal.

The second keyword is tropical holiday, which literally means sea, sun, sand and in many cases, especially in Asia, are some other tropical elements like rice field, rain forest, etc. We broke the border of “private villas” and widen it up into “private holiday” expanding villa accommodation to other holiday facilities packaged into sole disposal of individual client. Vision to the future can be private tour package, private transportation, yacht, and so forth.

The overall expression is the beach chair, only one expressing privacy, enjoying the tropical scene represented by the sun, sea, sand, and coconut tree, in a relaxed, fun, and colorful expression.

Developed by Ant Communication Bali as the creative designer, the new identity will be soon cascaded into all of our business presence … from stationaries to websites.

Whilst renting private villas over public holiday accommodation is getting ever increasing popularity, this luxury is often thought as very expensive and therefore not even a considerable option to many holiday makers. In fact it is partly true,  i.e. there are no villas at the price of a bed-and-breakfast, however it not difficult to find a villa in Bali priced at a lower price than resort hotels. Featuring villas priced at lower than $500 a night in lower season, Cheap Villas in Bali is dedicated to this lower-end market. Read the rest of this entry »

Built to serve as a dedicated as individual website to a brand new villa complex in Seminyak named Bali Baik Villas, balibaikvillas.com was intended to get into SE top board of name-specific search, searching by the villa name instead of generic phrases. It is a quite important aspect in villa rental online marketing, as once they hear a villa name by (probably) searching by generic keywords, potential surfers tend to try searching by villa name in attempt to get in touch with the owner directly. Representing the owner, failure to net surfers at this end will cost a significant loose. Read the rest of this entry »

Released just late last week phuketvillasonline.com, today delivered its first direct inquiry. Whilst the likeliness to get the deal closed is rather small as the coming inquiry is apparently for over the coming Chirstmas - New Year holiday period of 2007, when nearly all the villas in Phuket are fully booked well in advance. We do however have one which is still available which hopefully will go through, definitely the last deal for the coming peak holiday period in Phuket. Read the rest of this entry »
