Origin Seminyak is the latest Origin outpost to open in Indonesia, bringing its unique brand of eclectic energy and luxury to one of the country’s hippest regions. Located in an upscale neighbourhood in Seminyak, the new Origin counts an abundance of boutiques, restaurants, beach clubs and other swishy establishments amongst their neighbours.

Foodies will also be glad to know that the iconic Jalan Eat Street is located virtually footsteps away from the Origin, as is the vibrant Seminyak beach.

The villas in the Origin are some of the largest in Seminyak, and the great feeling of expanse that each give are helped along by the vibrant decor and airy spaces. If you’re travelling with an exceptionally large group, villas can be connected for additional space.

Semiyak is famed for its pulsing nightlife and vibrant streets, and the Origin is a keen reflection of this. The resort is filled with quirky – yet understated – touches that make each villa feel welcoming and luxurious at the same time. Earthen rattan furniture and geometric designs play off each other to create an atmosphere that’s as dynamic as Seminyak.

But the colourful decor in the Origin isn’t just for show: those brightly painted surfboards and pretty skateboards can be loaned by guests for free to take on a spin. Not sure how to surf or dive? The Origin Seminyak has also partnered with diving school, OrcaScuba, to offer watersports lessons to aspiring adults and children alike. While you’re out in the crystal waters, the talented instructors will also be on hand to educate you in a fun and informative way about the ocean and marine life preservation.
