Batu Jimbar

Sanur


Just north of the old Hyatt, this villa compound has a colourful history: it was redesigned by the famous Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa in 1975, Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall were unofficially married here in 1990 and it has accommodated celebrities from Yoko Ono to Sting to Fergie. If your income approaches theirs, you too can stay here.
