We spent several nights as a family in a spacious, two-story villa with three bedrooms, set amidst the lush jungle just outside of Ubud, Bali. The location is truly breathtaking — completely surrounded by nature, peaceful, and far away from the hustle and bustle. It’s the perfect setting if you’re looking to disconnect and immerse yourself in the quiet beauty of the jungle. The property advertises a 2024 reopening, and while some elements, like the furniture, appear new and thoughtfully selected, the overall resort does show signs of age. It’s clear that not all parts have been fully renovated, and the atmosphere at times felt a bit quiet and underutilized, likely due to the limited number of guests during our stay. The staff were kind and genuinely tried to offer great service. However, due to the low occupancy, certain amenities and services weren’t always available when we expected them. For example, we experienced several days without hot water, which was a challenge for a family stay. Breakfast started out beautifully — fresh, generous, and varied. Over the course of our stay, the selection became more limited and the quality inconsistent, which we assume may also have been due to the number of guests present. It’s important to note that the villa is quite remote. While that’s part of its charm, it also means that there are no restaurants or shops within walking distance. You’ll need to plan ahead or arrange transport if you want to explore the surrounding area or dine out. All in all, the villa offers a unique and tranquil escape for nature lovers and those seeking solitude. With a bit more consistency in service and clearer communication about the facilities, it could become a truly memorable retreat. We appreciated the space, the setting, and the effort from the staff, and we believe the place has real potential as it continues to develop.
