Villa Jodie is named in honour of one of the victims of the Bali Bombing, Jodie Cearns. Jodie was in love with Bali and its Villa life and brought so many people from such different backgrounds together, that it seemed only right to remember her in this way.

The resort area of Seminyak offers visitors the chance to enjoy a more peaceful location and range of boutique hotels, whilst still giving easy access to the shops and nightlife. There are many restaurants to cnoose from and for shoppers, there is really no need to head for Kuta – you can find everything from boutique fashion to local market stalls. A popular meeting point at sunset for tourists is he uninterrupted stretch of surf beach which runs from Kuta through to Seminyak. Just 30 minutes beyond Seminyak is the regency of Tabanan, home to the sacred Tahah Lot shore temple and the Le Meridien Golf Course.

In the other direction are the hundreds of shops, bars and nightclubs – just 10 minutes walk or 2 in a taxi. There are also the Kuta Art Markets, the Tuban Centre and Kuta Square shopping Centre – fantastic for copy handbags and the like. Also nearby is the children's favourite, the Waterbom Park.
