Villa Alamanda - Bali 4br. Tengkulak, Bali
Villa Alamanda - Bali 4br description
On the outskirts of Ubud, perched high on a jungle-clad hillside
overlooking a ravine, lies the beautiful Villa Alamanda. This
four-bedroom villa epitomises peace and tranquillity and is the perfect
retreat for those seeking a quiet and relaxing holiday within easy reach
of Bali’s exotic cultural centre.
Carefully designed to harmonise with the environment, the villa
combines traditional architecture and materials to create an enchanting
tropical oasis. Fully staffed, including a fabulous in-house chef,
guests need only focus on lazing by the pool, indulging in scrumptious
home-cooked meals, being pampered with deluxe spa treatments, or simply
admiring the views.
When it comes time to explore, a car and driver are also on standby to escort you to the wonderful sights that lay nearby.
Villa Alamanda is a special place. After four years searching for
the perfect location to create their dream holiday home, the owners
decided on the lush jungle setting near Ubud, and their affection for
this tropical paradise is evident as soon as you open the villa doors.
Set high on a ravine amongst tall trees, lush green foliage and
twittering birds this four-bedroom villa takes you back in time.
Alamanda is part of a traditional wood-carvers’ village that conjures up
images of the Bali of yesteryear. Here, guests are privy to the
routines of daily Balinese life from elaborate Hindu ceremonies to
children playing in the street.
What really makes this villa special is the way its design
complements its natural setting with alang-alang thatched roofs, wooden
beams and polished floors featuring a large open-sided terrace to enjoy
the balmy tropical climate. Air-conditioned king-size bedrooms with
marble ensuite bathrooms provide the perfect respite from the heat along
with the fully enclosed media room.
The gardens are spectacular, with a 13 x 9 metre infinity pool that
hangs over the ravine and a poolside balé just made for relaxing.
Frangrant frangipanis, red heliconias and the bright-yellow alamanda
(after which the villa is named) inject colour against the rich green
foliage of the surrounding jungle.
The villa’s location is convenient for accessing nearby attractions
including Ubud, Goa Gajah (Elephant Cave) and the UNESCO rice terraces
of Tegallalang. The villa staff team, including the villa’s experienced
in-house chef, will look after you well: all meals can be selected from a
suggestion menu on guest account. But if guests do wish to dine out,
there are plenty of dining options in Ubud catering for every taste and
budget.

Surrounded by lush tropical rainforest, Villa Alamanda is located five
kilometres from Ubud near the sleepy wood-carvers village of Tengkulak.
This traditional village offers a fascinating insight into daily
Balinese life including the colourful and hypnotic Hindu ceremonies.
While the villa enjoys a remote and quiet setting it is only a short
drive to many of Bali’s tourist hot spots including the famous Goa
Gajah (Elephant Cave), the UNESCO rice fields of Tegallalang, the Tirta
Girtu water temple at Tampak Siring, and the Bali Marine and Safari
Park.
The main attraction, though, has to be Ubud, Bali’s cultural heart,
famed for its art, wood carving, jewellery, textiles, antiques,
restaurants, markets and cultural performances – including the Kacek
dance. Three hundred metres above sea level in the foothills of the
central mountain range, Ubud offers a cooler, wetter climate making it
perfect for rice farming.
