Located midway between the lakes, mountains and ocean, in Bali's cultural heartland, Villa Indah is the ideal base from which to explore Bali. Fifty minutes and a world away from the beach resorts of Bali is the seemingly unremarkable village of Kedewatan, Ubud. But step down a humble driveway, past a traditional gate entrance, and your senses are assailed by the breathtaking vastness of the mighty Ayung Valley. Here, perched high on the valley rim, is the Villa Indah.
Commanding views of tiered, manicured, rice paddies below, the rolling rapids of the Ayung and palm covered hills and volcanic peaks beyond, Villa Indah is a vantage point like no other, its position regarded as one of the best along the entire valley.
Within easy walking, you can visit artists' studios and galleries, temples, craft shops, markets and the sacred monkey forest. All of Bali's most exotic dances are performed regularly in Ubud to the beat of gamelan music, and the range of bars and restaurants is the equal of any in Bali.
Villa facilities and Accomodation
Villa Indah comprises 3 magnificent 2-storeyed villas. Each Villa level is private and self-contained with room combinations suited to individuals, couples or families.
Attractions of Ubud and Beyond Ubud Market:
The Ubud Market located in the middle of the town is a typical Bali market and ideal to try out your negotiating skills! Begin at about 20% of the price you are offered in the market! Monkey Forest:
After the markets, wood carvers and restaurants, the Monkey Forest, (officially titled "Jalan Wanara Wana") just a ten minute walk south of Ubud's town centre is a beautiful setting for hundreds of small monkeys which inhabit a typical Balinese temple within the forest. Art & Galleries:
There are many galleries and art museums reflecting Bali's rich painting and decorative arts traditions. An example is the Neka Art Museum, just a few minutes from Villa Indah. Balinese art and carvings are generally very well priced and provide great gifts and holiday memories. Live Performaces:
Live dance and music performances are also imperatives on a visit to Ubud. Ask the staff as there is a constant programme of colourful activities and traditional performances. Other Activities:
Besides walking or cycling the roads of Ubud, you might like to try white water rafting on the Ayung River, immediately below the resort, and elsewhere on the island, adventure pursuits extend to golf, at the Greg Norman-designed Nirwana Bali Golf Club, rated in Asia's Top 5 golf courses. Or the Bali Handara Kosaido Country Club at Bedugul, ranked in the world's Top 50 golf courses and set in the cool highlands on the shores of Lake Bratan.
