Just off the main road to Canggu, on a small lane nestled up to fields of rice paddies which seem to stretch all the way to the ocean sits The Villa, a simple modern villa that opens out onto a large grassy garden and pool.
The Villa is located in southern Bali in a very quiet rural setting on the outskirts of Babakan, a small Balinese village.
Babakan is part of the more famous Canggu and is surrounded by rice paddies where you can experience the traditional Balinese way of life. Because of the beautiful view of the rice paddies the villa is called The Uma, the Balinese name for rice paddy.
The Villa is an ideal starting point for discovering the culture and nature which Bali is famous for – conveniently near the shortcut to Ubud, known for its crafts and dance, and on the way to the famous Tanah Lot Temple. Surf spot Echo beach is a 10-minute drive straight from the villa, or a more scenic back road bike ride.
More and more restaurants are opening in Canggu and it’s very easy to order food into the villa or for a small charge our staff can prepare beautiful Balinese meals for you. When you want to explore Bali on your own, you will find all kinds of information provided for you at The Uma.
It is approximately 20 minutes by car to the trendy restaurants, shops, and bars of Seminyak, and the trip to the airport takes around 45 minutes. There are convenience stores and a few ‘warungs’ or small cafes and local shops within a short walk from the villa.
The total plot is 1,118 square meters with a beautiful 13-meter long swimming pool ideal for swimming laps, with a shallow area off to one side where small children can splash. The walled garden ensures full privacy.
The Villa itself is a very spacious villa. The kitchen flows into the dining and lounge area in the verandah where you have a beautiful view over the rice paddies. In the evening you can often hear soft music floating by from the village temple on the distant side of the rice paddies. The kitchen is fully equipped: stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, coffee machine, kettle, juicer, toaster, etc.
The villa offers three spacious bedrooms with air-conditioning and private en-suite bathrooms each with a shower and toilet. The main bedroom also has a walk-in closet. The two other bedrooms have a high degree of privacy with their own patio and private access.
From the secluded terrace on the second floor, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset or take in sunrise looking out over the rice paddies.
