Who doesn’t dream of living the kind of life that the Kardashians lead? And what could be more aspirational than a luxury villa with its own butler service?
Sure, you might not be able to afford such luxuries every day or in your own country, but here in Bali, that dream is more affordable than you might think.
One such place is One Eleven in Seminyak, and our team was delighted to learn that they’d be spending some time there to assess its value for you, our readers. This is what they discovered when they did.

Other great adults-only options include La Reserve 1785 and Onaya Bali.
Cleanliness and Maintenance
It’s a big task to keep villas spotless usually, but we think having a butler on hand all the time must help to keep everyone on their toes.
There’s no doubt that One Eleven met the highest standards of cleanliness and maintenance that we could reasonably ask for.
Sleep Quality
We cannot imagine having a bad night’s sleep here at all, there’s a turndown service to ensure that your bed is perfectly arranged before you hit the sheets.
Then, the air, the noise levels, the light, the bed itself are all perfectly tailored to a wonderful rest.
Staff Attitude And Service Culture
With a personal butler, you know that the service will be a little extra at One Eleven and it really doesn’t disappoint. We can’t afford this kind of treatment every day but it’s very nice to splash out and experience it every now and again.
Check-in/Check-out Experience
The check-in experience is more than adequate and as you’d expect at a small, exclusive resort, you won’t get kept hanging around for long before you’re in your villa.
Bathroom Quality & Functionality
The bathrooms are fabulous and every bit the star treatment. Everything is easy to access, a joy to use and the water pressure is spot on.
We also really liked the supplied toiletries which felt a cut above the usual hotel stuff.
Value For Money
We argued a lot about this in the office. We were torn between this property being good value for money and excellent value for money.
In the end, we chose good value, but it really could have gone either way, it’s not cheap but the experience is superlatively good in most respects.
Food And Beverage Execution
We thought that the food and drinks were good enough. Though we did expect a bit more when it came to this resort because everything else is so good.
But you won’t complain, it just won’t be a reason that you come back.
Location & Immediate Surroundings
You can’t go wrong with staying in Seminyak. It’s a great place for nightlife, shopping, and dining. It’s also safe and centrally located.
Facilities & Amenities Vs Promise
The facilities here are as promised and, in fact, exceptional examples of their kind. However, we would really like to see a bit more on offer in this price bracket.
A butler is a nice addition to things, but we feel that there ought to be more to do.
Overall “Personality”
We feel that this resort has a very unique look and that it’s got an almost Frank Lloyd-Wright aesthetic appeal.
There’s no doubt in our minds that you’re going to remember staying at One Eleven for many years to come.
Summary: Our Overview Of One Eleven
We cannot imagine that anyone leaves One Eleven feeling anything other than fantastic in themselves and with the world around them.
This is a genuinely upmarket experience and though it’s not cheap by Bali standards, by global standards, it very much is.
We would be happy to recommend this property to anyone interested in it, though with the caveat that there are plenty of strong competitors in Seminyak in this price bracket.

FAQs
Is One Eleven Family Friendly?
No, One Eleven is most definitely not family-friendly. In fact, it is an adults-only property, and children are expressly forbidden to stay, even with their parents.
The good news is that Seminyak is full of places for families to stay, so you’re not missing out if you need somewhere that is family-friendly.
However, we do think it’s a positive thing for adults-only resorts to be available as an option here in Bali, but not everyone thinks little kids running around is adorable.
Final Thoughts On One Eleven
If you want to live the life of an A-lister, you really can’t go wrong with a private villa with its own butler in Seminyak, and for that, One Eleven is actually very reasonably priced.
Sure, it’s not the cheapest of stays, but it’s not extortionately expensive, and we felt that they offer a very refined experience overall.
We’d be happy to recommend this complex to adults seeking a break away from all the hustle and bustle of modern life.
