Live the Balinese dream in this tantalising tropical jungle retreat. Set high on a ravine amongst tall trees, lush green foliage and twittering birds this four-bedroom villa combines history and hedonism. Part of a traditional wood-carvers’ village that conjures up images of the Bali of yesteryear, here, you’ll be able to experience the rhythms of local life from elaborate Hindu ceremonies to children playing in the street. Complementing its jungle-clad hillside setting, this heavenly home features alang-alang thatched roofs, beamed ceilings and polished wooden floors as well as a large open-sided terrace perfect for making the most of the balmy beauty before you. You’ll love lazing on loungers in the sun before cooling off with a dip in your private, outdoor pool and whiling away hours wandering about the gorgeous gardens, filled with fragrant frangipanis, red heliconias and bright-yellow alamanda. Alternatively, lounge among the colourful cushions on the L-shaped sofa beside the pool and Paliminan stone terrace. Delight in cocktail-o-clock followed by an awesome alfresco meal to remember – courtesy of your talented in-house chef. At the day’s end gather together on the sofa and beanbags in the media room for movie night. Relish retreating to your air-conditioned king-size bedroom...Read more and indulging in a soothing soak in the marble bathtub before hitting the hay. If you can tear yourselves away from such privileged privacy, your villa’s location in the village of Tenkulak on the outskirts of the cultural hub of Ubud, means you’ll find yourself perfectly placed to explore nearby attractions including Goa Gajah (Elephant Cave) and the UNESCO rice terraces of Tegallalang.
