Holiday in Favourite Villa in Ubud Bali



By Dharma Putra

Ubud is a remarkable town in the middle of the island of Bali. Ubud is surrounded by most of the things that bring people to Bali. For more than a century, it has been the island's preeminent centre for fine arts, dance and music. Ubud is arguably the best place to use as a base if you're visiting Bali; if you're looking for culture, comfort, nature and inspiration. While it once was a haven for scruffy backpackers, cosmic seekers, artists and bohemians, Ubud is now a hot spot for literati, glitterati, art collectors and connoisseurs.

A stay in one of Bali villas in Ubud offers the delight of appreciating all that surrounds you in daily life in Bali. The layout of the villa Amala allows two families with children to holiday very comfortably and with enough living areas to afford adequate privacy. Alternatively it is also a suitable get-away for 4-5 couples to "chill out" in the peaceful and harmonizing atmosphere of Sebali.

This luxury villa is situated on the edge of a padi field, overlooking the river Wos. It sits between the villages of Sebali and Keliki , in the area near to Tegallalang, Ubud. It is an hour's ride from Bali's Ngurah Rai airport, and only a 15 minute car ride from the famed centre of art and culture - Ubud. Staying in Ubud is a unique experience. Ubud offers a stay punctuated with the simple pleasures of watching her children practice their dancing or gamelan playing at the temple; craftsman patiently honing their talents; farmers chasing their herd of ducks down the streets.

On the ground level of the valley house there is a second master bedroom with a indoor bath and shower overlooking the valley as well as a outdoor shower in its own private garden. Next to this is the TV room with a projector and screen to watch movies or catch the latest news on satellite TV. A veranda fronts these two rooms and allows guests to walk out to the valley garden or have breakfast with the morning sun rising over the valley. A bale sits at the edge of the garden overlooking the valley and rice terraces.

It is one of two rooms in this villa that has an exposed alang alang roof. The bathroom contains a bathtub shower and also an outdoor shower on the terrace. The valley house has a open living area on the top floor with wide open verandas for dining al fresco. It also boasts a immense alang alang roof. Below this are two guest rooms sharing a veranda that overlook the valley. Both rooms are ensuite with partial outdoor showers and baths.
