This
beautiful, very spacious villa on the edge of Sebali, a pretty
village just outside Ubud, is a luxurious haven from which
to enjoy both the peace and the delights of Bali. The views
from the house are of typical rice terraces and, in the distance,
spectacular Mt Agung and the dramatic mountains towards the
north of the island. We have been careful to be environmentally
sensitive - green - with many eco-features including solar
power and water heating, and a beautiful garden with organically
grown fruit trees. |

Villa
Sebali is just 15 minute’s drive from the centre of
Ubud, the cultural and artistic heart of Bali. All on good
roads, half the drive is through typical villages, beautiful
rice fields and tropical forest, and half past interesting
art galleries, antique and craft shops, and restaurants. Ubud
is about one and a quarter hours drive from the airport. |

The
house is built round three sides of a grassy, flower-ringed
courtyard, with the fourth side an infinity pool looking down
over a cascade of lotus and water-lily ponds to the orchard.
It has four very special bedroom suites and combines the luxury
of air-conditioned bedrooms with the delight of open air living.
There is a fully equipped kitchen, a library/games room and
a table tennis room. See Accommodation for a fuller
description. We have included many environmentally-friendly
features, from the thick, alang-alang roofs which provide
wonderful insulation, to solar powered water heating and electricity
systems, and natural waste water treatment (there are more
details under Our Green Credentials). |

The
garden is lavishly planted with many sweet-smelling trees
and flowers. Beside the pool is a pretty balé, a traditional
grass-roofed pavilion for shaded relaxation, while below it
a path winds through the lotus ponds down to the orchard with
its wide range of tropical fruit trees. As these mature, guests
will be able to pick their own choice of fruit…. |

The villa is managed locally by the incomparable Rita Dewi and has six full time staff: three in the house including a cook, two gardeners and a night security guard. Our house staff will prepare your breakfasts, maintain the house and rooms immaculately, and be on hand to aid and advise you. There are many things to
do and see – artistic, sporting, cultural, spiritual
and purely self-indulgent - within easy reach. See Services and Activities for more details,
and Bali Life for some interesting
background. |

| But
also, green, quiet, fragrant Villa Sebali is a wonderful
place just to be. |
|
Note: Villa Sebali has many ponds and a big swimming pool so guests bring young children at their own risk. The villa can be made wheelchair accessible. |
