Tanah Lot

Tanah Lot: California

Spirit-lifting and brimming with character, this homespun getaway takes inspiration from Balinese style to create a zen sanctuary in the middle of Los Angeles. Expect shabby-chic nooks in the tree-tangled backyard and eclectic curiosities lovingly arranged in the relaxing living space. And while there’s a laidback vibe, you’ll find plenty of luxurious touches too. Float in the pool or unwind in the sauna, rejuvenate in the steam shower – complete with a water-filtration system – and warm your toes on heated floors. A full chef’s kitchen and flourishing herb garden await for folk who know their way around a chopping board. But should you fancy hanging up the apron, you’re less than a ten-minute drive from Beverly Grove, where high-end sushi spots and buzzy restaurants cluster around the upscale Melrose Avenue and Robertson Drive.

Home truths:
*Free street parking is available and there is sometimes a space on the driveway for one car only – ask your host for more information
*As there is only one proper bedroom, guests three to six will sleep on sofa beds
*This is a lived-in home, so there will be some of the owner's possessions present
*Maintenance staff for the pool and garden visit a few days a week to tend to the property
