Villa Alamanda, situated ten minutes east of the cultural town of Ubud, is approached through the traditional Balinese woodcarvers’ village of Tengkulak. Perched high on a ridge above the Petanu River, with valley views, the graceful architecture of this thatched hideaway blends contemporary elegance with ethnic charm.

The four-bedroom Villa Alamanda is an ideal choice for those looking for modern luxury in peaceful surroundings; an enchanting retreat where guests can enjoy a relaxing experience with personalized service.

Villa Alamanda is built on the side of a hill; the living area and bedrooms are all on the same level with steps leading down into the garden. A large gate opens onto a paved parking area, where indigenous stone walls portray a jigsaw of shapes.

Timeworn statues of comical characters greet the guests as they step into the cool interior of the villa through a set of antique double doors. Inside, the hallway extends towards a T-shaped wooden terrace. Furnished with antiques, this breezy open-air living area runs the length of the house and boasts a delightful dining section that just out over the tranquil gardens as they tumble into the steep ravine.

Each of the four bedrooms features red-hued hardwood floors, kind sized beds, double sliding glass and louver doors that open onto the terrace, en-suite bathrooms, fitted wardrobes and safety deposit boxes.
