Off a beaten track in the upcoming Balinese coastal town of Canggu, unexpectedly lies a luxurious haven that'll truly knock your socks off. Note: It's too hot for socks. Don't pack socks.

Now don't get me wrong, Canggu is a kick-ass area. In fact, it's one of our absolute favourites in all of Bali. It's got the cool restaurants and bars, the beach clubs and, yes, the world renowned surf breaks, minus the ridiculous crowds of Seminyak (unless you're trying to snag the wave of the day at Echo Beach).

And yet despite all this, you'd be forgiven for wanting to give the beaches a miss for your own private sanctuary, Villa Hana.

So, while I would highly recommend taking a stroll down the road to Echo Beach and explore the best of your new local, I can't help but share with you twelve of many reasons you won't want to leave the peaceful confines of The Elite Havens elegant and sophisticated  Villa Hana.

When we pulled up in the driveway after our hour-long drive from Ubud, we were greeted by the smiling staff members and two large wooden doors that were swung open to reveal the stunning entrance of Villa Hana.

To say we were impressed from the get-go is an understatement. The entrance is flanked by a tall lush garden that pulls the eye towards the crystal blue pool beyond. It was the perfect welcome to begin our stay.

When I say huge, I mean humungous. In the middle of the villa is the stunning 15-metre pool that is the centrepiece jewel of the haven. With several sun loungers to lap up the sunshine between refreshing dips, it's near impossible to tear yourself away from its bright blue side.

I can tell you right now, there is nothing better than relaxing in the pool on a notoriously hot Balinese day (and night!) with an assortment of refreshments and great company. #TakeMeBack

That's right ladies and gentlemen, if you really want to take relaxation to the next level, then you'll thoroughly enjoy the butler service at Villa Hana. One of the first things we experienced at the villa was the exceptionally friendly hospitality provided by the lovely team.

Whether you'd like a warm bath run, a refreshing beverage or a snack throughout the day, then they're there to make sure your stay is as leisurely as possible.

Not only is Villa Hana an architectural masterpiece, but it is also decorated exquisitely. The villa is ultra contemporary and fresh, with warm touches of Balinese design to offset the extensive space, crisp white walls and polished concrete floors. There is something that expertly catches the eye in every corner, whether it's a green wall or an interesting sculpture.

As if the interiors weren't already beautiful enough, we were blown away by the quality of framed art works that grace the walls and shelves of the villa. From unique abstract paintings to stunning local photography, these little touches add something very special to the peaceful ambience of Villa Hana.

The expansive living area is situated at the heart of the villa, featuring über comfy oversized wicker lounges that overlook the pool. Play some tunes from your iPod, read a magazine and enjoy the rare homely comfort. And if you prefer things a little more formal, there's also an elevated 10-seat dining table, where we enjoyed our daily breakfast spread.

It's hard to convince yourself to leave Villa Hana when it comes equip with your very own chef, who is both a genius in the kitchen and a  downright lovely person (although, that goes for everyone at Villa Hana). While there's a mouth-salivating menu provided for your convenience, you can also request anything your heart (or your stomach) desires.

On our first night, we enjoyed the most delicious dinner that included a potato and leek soup, chicken curry, crepes and fresh bread (to name a few). We were positively stuffed and incredibly satisfied - I couldn't recommend it more!

Be careful though, you don't want to get to used to having your very own personal chef. It will make leaving Villa Hana that much harder.

As if the living area and pool deck wasn't already big enough, the spacious bedroom suites are beyond impressive. Each bedroom has there very own luxurious bathroom and walk-in robes, as well as comfy super king-sized beds mounted on a polished concrete base (minus the kids room - that has the coolest bunk beds I've ever seen).

And if that still isn't enough, the beautiful master suite has it's very own freestanding tub and a private terrace with garden views.

Because the freestanding bath definitely deserves its own point. If you're the lucky couple that snags the Master Suite, then you're in for a real treat! The contemporary bathroom overlooks your private terrace and lush gardens, which is the perfect setting for a long relaxing soak in the deep tub.

Ask your friendly butler to run you a warm bubble bath or perhaps decorate it with beautiful rose petals and frangipanis. Either way, there's no better way to set the mood for your relaxing and pampering holiday.

Brad and I couldn't help but admire the perfectly manicured gardens from the moment we arrived at Villa Hana to our departure, taking a lot of inspiration for our own home. From creeper-covered green walls to sky-high palm trees, there isn't a space that hasn't been landscaped with thought and care.

Boredom is impossible at Villa Hana, but to cement that even further is the cosy media room that features DVDs, books and board games, all for your enjoyment. Spend a night snuggled up, watching a movie and snacking on one of the chef's many delicious bites. Sounds perfect to me!

One of the things I adored the most about Villa Hana is how its impressive architecture lends way to private corners and terraces, each unique in their own way. While the villa can accommodate up to 10 people, you won't have any trouble finding a quiet nook to enjoy some peace, whether it's overlooking the gardens, tucked away on an outdoor bed or surrounded by unique artworks.
