The detail

With the feel of a cottage in the jungle, this heritage Balinese house is made from natural materials in order to harmonise with the environment. The entrance of Villa Alamanda is surrounded by exotic greenery - through here you'll catch your first glimpse of this beautiful retreat.

The villa has a traditional alang-alang roof and is decorated with Ubud's famous wood carvings. A beautiful turquoise pool is encircled with a sprawling garden filled with frangipanis, heliconias and sunshine yellow Alamanda flowers. After your swim, curl up among the colourful cushions on the shaded balé that overlooks the pool and Paliminan stone terrace. Ascend the unique wooden staircase to get a bird's eye of the pool among the canopy of palm trees.

Heritage textiles adorn buttermilk walls in the corridors, exposed wooden beams on the ceiling... Villa Alamanda just oozes rustic Balinese charm. All bedrooms have polished hardwood floors and traditional thatched roofs. The master bedroom has a huge king size bed to sink into and secret dressing room through the Louvre doors. Beyond this, you'll find a decadent ensuite bathroom with a sunken tub and views of the lush garden.

Two other bedrooms are called Cinnamon and Red, with matching colour schemes, king beds and private walled garden ensuites. The final bedroom is called the Garden Suite with its very own exclusive sundeck and fully enclosed marble bathroom - so luxurious!

The air-conditioned media room is perfect for cooling off as you watch a movie together on the flat screen television - there are sofas and comfy beanbags to chill out on. In the evenings, listen to the sounds of the jungle as you dine on a feast prepared by the villa's excellent in-house chef on the large open-sided terrace.
