The R Villas Bali › Bali
Mezzanine living, a private plunge pool, and the unhurried pace of Pererenan — all in the heart of Bali.
The R Pererenan Mezzanine Studio sits on Jalan Pantai Pererenan, the low-traffic lane that connects Bali's creative community to the black-sand shore.
Double-height design on one of Bali's most spirited streets
The R Pererenan Mezzanine Studio sits on Jalan Pantai Pererenan, the low-traffic lane that connects Bali's creative community to the black-sand shore. Managed by Elevate Villas Bali, the studio was conceived as a response to the cluttered, floor-plan-maximised apartments that have proliferated across the island. Instead, every square metre here is deliberate: exposed concrete ceilings reach up to the mezzanine sleeping platform, raw timber rails line the staircase, and full-height louvred shutters regulate both light and the warm cross-breeze that arrives each afternoon from the Indian Ocean less than ten minutes away.
The mezzanine layout separates sleeping from living in a way a single-level studio rarely can. The lower floor opens out onto the private plunge pool terrace — a raised concrete basin shaded by tropical planting — where three guests can move between water, sun lounger, and the compact outdoor seating area without ever feeling on top of each other. The pool terrace faces the garden rather than the street, keeping the space genuinely private even during the busy season.
Pererenan itself has shifted over the past decade from a quiet outpost between Canggu and Seseh into one of Bali's more considered neighbourhoods. Independent coffee roasters, small-batch ceramics studios, and a handful of chef-led restaurants line the main road, while the surf break at Pererenan Beach draws a crowd that tends to be more local and less performative than those further south. The studio is placed right at the centre of that energy, within easy walking distance of both the ocean and the neighbourhood's best provisions.
For those arriving by scooter — the practical way to navigate Bali — there is secure parking within the property. The studio accommodates up to three guests, making it well-suited to couples travelling with a friend, or solo guests who simply want room to spread out. Direct booking through Elevate Villas Bali includes access to the host team for arrival coordination, local recommendations, and any in-stay requests.
Double-height interiors, a private plunge pool terrace, and a mezzanine sleeping level — photographed in the natural light of Pererenan, Bali.

Dedicated on-site parking for one scooter or motorbike, accessible directly from Jalan Pantai Pererenan via the property gate.
Compact kitchen equipped with a refrigerator, kettle, and the basic cookware needed for daily meals and morning coffee preparation.
Split-system air conditioning unit on the ground floor, with the mezzanine's double-height volume also benefiting from natural cross-ventilation.

Private bathroom with hot and cold shower, quality towels provided. Toiletries included for the duration of your stay.
Overhead ceiling fans on both levels supplement natural ventilation through the louvred shutters, reducing reliance on air conditioning.

Mezzanine double bed made up with fresh hotel-grade linen. Extra pillows and a light blanket are provided in the storage below the stairs.
Digital keypad or code-based entry allows flexible self-check-in at any hour, coordinated in advance with the Elevate Villas Bali team.
The upper sleeping level sits above the main living space on a timber-railed mezzanine, separated from the ground floor by an open staircase. Natural light enters through louvred shutters that can be adjusted for ventilation or privacy.
The ground-floor living area runs the full width of the studio below the mezzanine overhang. Concrete walls, natural timber accents, and direct access to the pool terrace make it functional across the full day.
A raised concrete plunge pool faces the private garden rather than the street, edged with tropical planting and a sun lounger. The terrace has space for outdoor seating and is sheltered from direct road view.
The integrated kitchen provides essential equipment for daily preparation — coffee, light meals, and cold storage — without occupying a separate room, keeping the ground floor open and uncluttered.
You arrive off Jalan Pantai Pererenan in the late afternoon, when the light turns amber and the street noise settles into the comfortable hum of scooters passing and a distant gamelan from a temple down the lane. The gate opens into a garden-level courtyard, and the first thing you notice is the plunge pool — still water, concrete surround, a row of low tropical plants edging the terrace. You drop your bags upstairs, where the mezzanine sleeping platform sits above the main living area, and the louvred shutters on the upper level are already open to the breeze.
Mornings here have a particular rhythm. The light comes in early through the east-facing shutters, warming the timber boards of the mezzanine before the day gets hot. You come down to the ground-floor space, make coffee, and carry it out to the pool terrace before the sun fully clears the garden wall. Pererenan Beach is a ten-minute walk north along a concrete lane that cuts through rice fields — you are in the water before 8am, and back at the studio before the heat sets in.
The afternoon belongs to the plunge pool and the neighbourhood. The studio keeps you cool without needing the air conditioning until early evening: the double-height volume circulates air efficiently, and the orientation of the building limits direct sun exposure through the hottest hours. When you want to move, there are independent cafes within five minutes on foot, a well-stocked local market just down the road for fruit, tempeh, and cold drinks, and enough small restaurants along the main strip to eat differently every night for a week.
By evening the pool lights come on and the terrace becomes the natural centre of the stay. Three people can share this space without friction — there is enough room on the terrace for a small meal, and the mezzanine above provides acoustic separation from the living area when one person wants to sleep early and another wants to stay up.
10 minutes by foot
A black-sand surf beach less visited than Echo Beach or Batu Bolong, with a consistent right-hand break and a small warung serving cold drinks at the shoreline.
20 minutes by scooter
One of Bali's most recognised sea temples, built on a coastal rock formation and best visited at low tide in the early morning to avoid the midday crowds.
12 minutes by scooter
The nearest major hub, with a dense concentration of specialty coffee shops, the Berawa night market, surf hire, and independent clothing and craft stores.
6 minutes by foot
A long-running neighbourhood warung on the Pererenan strip, known for daily-changing Indonesian home cooking, fresh coconut, and generous portions at local prices.
While Canggu's main strip grew louder and more congested, the lane running through Pererenan attracted ceramicists, roasters, and small restaurant owners who wanted space to work without the noise. Here is what the neighbourhood looks like now.
The three kilometres of black-sand coastline between Pererenan Beach and Seseh hold four distinct surf breaks, none of which appear in most guidebooks. A local surf instructor walks us through the best conditions for each, by season and swell direction.
From the family warung open before 7am to the chef-driven dinner spot that takes no reservations, the food options within walking distance of the studio are more varied than the short street suggests. Our current list of seven worth knowing.
Standard check-in is from 2pm. The studio uses a keypad or code-based entry system, so flexible arrival times can often be arranged in advance. Simply contact the Elevate Villas Bali team at least 24 hours before arrival to coordinate a specific time if you are arriving outside standard hours.
Check-out is by 11am on your departure day. Late check-out until 1pm can sometimes be accommodated depending on the next arrival — please request this at least the evening before and the team will confirm availability.
The studio accommodates a maximum of 3 guests. The mezzanine level has a double bed for two guests, with a sofa-style sleeping arrangement available on the ground floor for a third. All guests must be declared at the time of booking.
Yes. There is secure on-site parking for one scooter or motorbike within the property grounds, accessed from Jalan Pantai Pererenan. Car parking is not available on-site, but street parking is possible along the road for short periods.
Pets are not permitted at the studio. Bali has specific regulations around animal movement, and the property's garden and pool terrace design is not suited to animals. We appreciate your understanding.
