Suite of the week – The Three-Bedroom Villa at Amandari, Bali, Indonesia

Image - Aman


Amandari, with its bespoke Balinese luxury and warm hospitality, is high on the list of anyone who seeks a serene and sumptuous getaway that also speaks the language of sustainability and hyperlocal heritage. Built in consonance with the curves of the terraced rice paddies, the resort and its infinity pool (the first one in Bali) follow the natural flow.

The Amandari Three-Bedroom Villa in Ubud is surrounded by these cascading rice terraces and offers vibrant views of the Ayung River Valley. Just a minute’s drive from the main Amandari, it comes with a personal vehicle that is always on call, so you get to pick the level of isolation you want! The villa itself? Conjure up the vision of five free-standing pavilions, a landscaped garden and a two-tiered 14-metre swimming pool in your mind’s eye. Now, add a sprawling villa with three detached terrace-style bedrooms and a kitchen for entertaining into this idyllic image.

This jewel in the midst of the lush jungle offers privacy whatever you’re doing. Whether it’s dining in one’s dedicated open-air bale or retreating into the glass-walled living room with a glass of bubbly. A morning spent contemplating the peaks of Batukaru, Sanghyang and Lesung from the sun terrace or a walk through the private gardens at dusk… it’s all conducive to thinking the world is entirely yours, even though two members of the staff are always at hand. They do manage to weave traditional Balinese beauty into your day, with a dance and rindik class with children from Kedewatan village nearby, and afternoon tea that brings you local treats made by rural women.

While it’s tempting to dine privately in the comfort of your villa all the time, you may want to head to some livelier meals at Amandari’s The Restaurant or Terrace Bar. Similarly, when it comes to wellness, for spa therapies you could pick one of the two open-air treatment bales surrounded by lotus ponds, indulge in private yoga and meditation sessions in a tranquil forest glade, or start your journey towards spiritual wellbeing with a Balinese Melukat purification ceremony. Tennis enthusiasts will also appreciate the hard court here, with lessons and hitting partners arranged at your convenience.

The Amandari 3 BR Villa costs $5,769 ++ per night.
