Modern architecture, lush garden views, and complete privacy. Your island retreat awaits.
Where Modern Craft Meets Island Living
This villa was designed for intimacy and light. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls invite the garden inside, while polished concrete floors and reclaimed teak beams anchor the open-plan interior. The structure sits on a quiet lane five minutes from Ubud's artisan quarter, surrounded by rice terraces and family-owned warungs that have served the neighbourhood for generations.
The property was completed in early 2024 by a Jakarta-based architect who specialised in passive cooling and natural ventilation. Wide eaves shade the terrace throughout the day, and a reflecting pool along the eastern wall catches morning sun. Inside, a king bedroom opens directly onto a private garden courtyard planted with frangipani and bamboo. The kitchen features a handmade ceramic sink and a four-burner gas range imported from Italy.
You'll find the villa stocked with locally roasted coffee, filtered water, and a small library of Indonesian literature. The host lives ten minutes away and can arrange motorbike rental, guided temple tours, or reservations at family-run restaurants in the surrounding villages. Parking is available on-site, and high-speed fibre internet reaches every corner of the property.
This is a home built for two people who value quiet mornings, good design, and proximity to both jungle trails and vibrant local culture. Whether you're working remotely or simply retreating, the villa offers a grounded, uncluttered base for your time on the island.
Light, material, and landscape come together in every corner of this villa.
Dedicated 100 Mbps fibre connection throughout the villa, ideal for remote work, video calls, and streaming. Router located centrally for full coverage indoors and on the terrace.
Secure parking for one car or two motorbikes within the gated property. Motorbike rental can be arranged through the host with 24-hour notice at competitive daily rates.
Four-burner gas range, full-size fridge, French press, cookware, and locally made ceramic tableware. Filtered drinking water on tap. Starter supply of coffee, tea, and condiments included.
Ceiling fans in bedroom and living areas, plus passive ventilation through high ceilings and cross-breezes. No air conditioning needed thanks to thoughtful architectural design and natural shade from wide eaves.
Volcanic stone bathtub in a private garden pavilion, surrounded by bamboo screens and tropical plants. Solar-heated water, organic bath salts, and plush towels provided. Perfect for evening relaxation under the stars.
Full laundry service can be arranged with the host. Same-day turnaround available for an additional fee. Clothing rack and hangers provided in the bedroom closet for air-drying lighter items.
Enclosed garden planted with frangipani, bamboo, and tropical ferns. Accessible from the bedroom and bathing pavilion. A quiet spot for morning meditation, yoga, or simply listening to birdsong.
Selection of Indonesian literature, regional travel guides, and design books. Includes works by Pramoedya Ananta Toer and contemporary Balinese authors, plus field guides to local flora and fauna.
Locally made shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion from a Ubud-based apothecary. All products are cruelty-free, packaged in refillable glass bottles, and scented with lemongrass and coconut.
Villa sits behind a secure gate on a quiet residential lane. Exterior lighting on timers and a lockbox system for flexible self check-in. The host is always reachable by phone or message.
A serene retreat with floor-to-ceiling glass opening onto a private courtyard planted with frangipani. The ensuite features terrazzo fixtures, a rain shower, and a soaking tub carved from volcanic stone. Blackout linen curtains and a ceiling fan ensure restful sleep.
High ceilings and cross-ventilation keep this space cool throughout the day. A custom teak dining table seats four, while the lounge area features low-slung seating upholstered in natural linen. Large sliding doors erase the boundary between inside and terrace.
Equipped with a four-burner Italian gas range, full-size refrigerator, and ample counter space for meal preparation. The handmade ceramic sink and open shelving display locally made tableware. Filtered water on tap and a French press for morning coffee.
Shaded by wide eaves and bordered by a shallow reflecting pool, this space serves as an outdoor living room. Teak furniture, a daybed for afternoon reading, and a dining area that seats four. Surrounded by tropical planting and the sound of water.
A secluded pavilion enclosed by stone walls and bamboo screens. The rain shower is fed by solar-heated water, and the freestanding tub overlooks a small garden of orchids and ferns. Towels, robes, and organic toiletries provided.
You wake to the sound of wind moving through bamboo. Sunlight filters through the teak shutters, casting geometric shadows across the polished concrete floor. You slide open the glass doors and step onto the terrace, where the air smells of wet earth and jasmine. Coffee brews in the kitchen while you settle into one of the low rattan chairs, feet propped on the reflecting pool's edge.
By mid-morning, you've walked fifteen minutes to a nearby temple, passing farmers tending rice paddies and women carrying offerings balanced on their heads. Back at the villa, you rinse off in the open-air shower, its stone walls warm from the sun. Lunch is grilled fish from the market down the road, eaten at the outdoor dining table beneath the shade of the overhanging roof.
The afternoon stretches out. You read in the hammock strung between two coconut palms, or work at the teak desk with your laptop, the fibre connection steady and fast. As the heat softens, you take the motorbike into town for a walk through the artisan studios, watching woodcarvers and silversmiths at their benches. You return just before dusk, when the garden fills with the calls of evening birds.
Dinner is simple: vegetables from the organic stall, rice, sambal. You eat slowly, then soak in the outdoor tub under a sky dense with stars. Later, you lie in the king bed, windows open, listening to the rustle of palm fronds and the distant hum of motorbikes on the main road. The villa holds you in its quiet, and you sleep deeply.

Iconic stepped rice paddies carved into the hillside. Visit early morning to avoid crowds and watch farmers tend the fields. Several small warungs serve fresh coconut and pisang goreng along the walking path.

Farm-to-table restaurant in the middle of rice fields, accessible via a narrow footpath. Menu changes based on harvest, but expect crisp salads, grilled fish, and cold-pressed juices. Reservations recommended for sunset tables.
The ridge trail starts five minutes from the villa and offers one of the finest walks in Ubud. We mapped our favourite route, including where to stop for fresh coconut and which hours offer the best light for photography. Bring water and wear good shoes.
A guide to navigating the maze of vendors, from selecting ripe mangosteen to bargaining for handmade baskets. We share tips on timing your visit, which stalls offer the freshest produce, and how to bring your haul back to the villa for a home-cooked Balinese feast.
We sat down with the Jakarta-based studio that designed this property to discuss passive cooling, reclaimed materials, and building responsibly in Bali's tropical climate. Learn how the wide eaves, polished concrete, and cross-ventilation keep the villa cool without air conditioning.
