In Brief
Pemuteran villas come in two kinds. For a whole house on the beach, Palm Living's Villa Bali Il Mare has four suites, a 25-metre infinity pool and a tennis court on 1.3 hectares. For a pool villa with a restaurant and spa, Amertha Bali Villas has fourteen villas on the bay, in front of the coral restoration reefs.
East along the coast at Brongbong Beach, Palm Living lists two more whole houses. Its other villas are around Lovina, roughly 45 to 50 km east, for a trip that splits its nights between the two.

Why a Villa in Pemuteran: The Reef Off the Beach
Pemuteran is about 57 km west of Singaraja on the main coast road, according to the regency's culture and tourism office.

The same office tells how the village turned itself around. In the 1980s it was remote and poor, and cyanide and blast fishing had damaged its reef.
Encouraged by a local figure, Anak Agung Prana, the village began farming coral and built its tourism around the reef. The regency now points to Pemuteran as a pioneer of eco-friendly village tourism.

That reef is the reason to come. You can snorkel it from the beach, and the boats to Menjangan Island leave from nearby. West Bali National Park starts just to the west.
A villa here suits a family or a group who want their own pool and a cook between days on the water. The Pemuteran guide covers the village, and diving and snorkelling in Pemuteran covers the reefs.

- Outside: a 25 by 5 metre infinity pool with a shallow entry for children, a floodlit tennis court and a yoga pavilion

Villa Resorts and Hotel Villas
Amertha Bali Villas
Amertha sits on the bay at Pemuteran, with the coral restoration reef directly in front.
Best for: couples and families who want a private pool and a resort restaurant, with the reef off the beach.
In their words: fourteen villas, each with a private pool, a koi pond and fountain, a garden, outdoor daybeds and a terrace. You can book a single suite or a whole villa. The resort has an oceanfront restaurant and bar, a beachside pool, and a Balinese spa and meditation centre.
Amertha says it was founded on consultation with Pemuteran's village leaders and takes Tri Hita Karana as its guide. It says its whole staff lives in the village.
It also supports the coral restoration project in front of it and the sea turtle hatchery run by its neighbours at Reef Seen. Its welcome is signed by its founder, Agung Prana. Tri Hita Karana explains the idea behind the name.

Villas inside the Pemuteran hotels
Several small hotels in and around Pemuteran also let villas. Taman Sari lists villas alongside its suites and cottages, and Pondok Sari has a Villa among its room types.
The Menjangan, inside the national park, has Joglo-style Beach Villas and The Residence, a clifftop house of three bedrooms. All three are described in boutique hotels in north Bali.
East Along the Coast: Two Houses at Brongbong
Palm Living lists two houses at Brongbong Beach, further east along the coast towards Seririt. The regency tourism office lists both under the village of Celukan Bawang, which sits in the Gerokgak district of Buleleng, like Pemuteran.

It has a living room with a full kitchen, and a private infinity pool and a Jacuzzi a few steps from the house, facing the sea. Every bedroom has air conditioning, and there is a gazebo, a massage corner and a playground.
Housekeeping and cooking are included. The listing suggests the house for family reunions, birthdays, small weddings and honeymoons.

Palm Living's Lovina Villas Suit a Split Trip
Most of Palm Living's rental villas are around Lovina. Lovina is about 9 km west of Singaraja by the Buleleng tourism office's count, and Pemuteran is about 57 km west of it.
That puts the Lovina villas roughly 45 to 50 km east of Pemuteran along the same coast road. The Pemuteran guide puts the drive at about an hour and a half.
They are too far for daily trips to the reef. They suit a split trip: a few nights in Pemuteran for Menjangan, then a few in Lovina for the dolphins, the waterfalls and the hot springs.
The Lovina villas are described one by one, from their listings, in the best villas in Lovina. The full collection is on Palm Living's villas for rent page, with current rates on each listing. For how the two areas compare, see where to stay in north Bali.
What to Check Before You Book a Pemuteran Villa
- On the sand or a short walk away. Villa Bali Il Mare and Villa Brongbong Pantai put the sea at the end of the garden. Villa Brongbong Rimba sits in a country estate a short walk from the beach.
- Staff and meals. Ask who cooks, whether meals are included or charged by the ingredient, and when staff are on site. Several whole-house villas here have staff who come in for the day and do not live in.
- Diving. Boats to Menjangan Island cross from the Pemuteran side, and diving and snorkelling in Pemuteran covers the village's dive schools. Ask whether gear can be rinsed and dried at the house.
- Bedrooms and bathrooms. Match the listing's guest count to your group. Check which bedrooms are upstairs if anyone finds stairs hard.
- Getting there. Pemuteran is a long drive from the airport in the south. Getting to north Bali sets out the routes, and a private driver is the easy way to cover it.
Practical Notes
- Book direct through each villa's own site or listing, and ask for the total for your dates and group.
- Bring cash for the park, the boats and small warungs in the village. The Bali currency guide covers cards and ATMs.
- The national park charges its own entry for Menjangan and the park trails, usually arranged with the boat.
